6 Speed Auto 79 Series Dual Cab - Worth it??

What a rig!!!! LC79 Series D/C in graphite - featuring a wholesale automatic kit with 6sp auto. Bring ruggedness and luxury together to achieve the ultimate off-road tourer. This build also has our custom performance package carried out by DPU in Mackay - respectable yet powerful and great for towing.
Other features that are captured in this build include:
- JMACX 4495 GVM with max tow capacity at 4.5T (this is achieved by doing the auto upgrade).
- ARB barwork accessories (discussed in the build video)
- Norweld tray and canopy, with our exclusive Pro Touring internal design
- Full interior strip out and recondition featuring Recaro Expert M seats
- Wheels and Tyres to ensure compliance. This vehicle has the Maxxis AT811 and Method 312 Black HD wheels.
This video mainly focuses on the benefits of the 6 speed auto and if you are considering whether to do it or not it may help your decision making process.
Cheers legends!!

Having gone with a full build on a troopy for the big numbers and spent the porsche level of money that it costs to do that (didnt want the auto at that time), I'd go the full size American truck, if I did it again. Actually cheaper, much more capable as a touring rig and light years ahead on comfort. Will always have the Troopy for the rough stuff, and it just looks great but those big yank tanks are in another class, out of the box.

Beast. Only wish my Clearview powerfolds fitted like that on my 300

Thanks for the vid! A lot of good info.
Keen for the 8HP vs 200 6spd video too

[@ProTouringTV]

You got it!

[@robertmillar2037]

Looking forward to seeing a comparison to the 8 speed. Heard nothing but trouble with heat in the 200 auto

[@ProTouringTV]

Yeah will be interesting mate. We haven’t had any of our builds have dramas with heat really needs to be tuned properly and calibrated. We run larger trans coolers too

[@wolfyseas3793]

Very nice, clean rig .Well done.

Thanks 👍

Thanks guys

Hey Mate, What a rig, my dream 4x4.
Im interested though in your comment about the stock 2.8L 4 cylinder runs rings around this tuned V8 with auto, does this mean the 2.8 pulls better and faster even with significantly less power than that tuned V8? With the same weight?

[@user-rv6zk1pp7r]

Great build as always Kaleb, however the real question is not if the auto is good, rather- “is it worth spending over $300k on a Landcruiser dual cab” 🤔 I’m in disbelief that people have the money, or should I say have the capacity to service the debt on this…

[@ProTouringTV]

Hey mate - it totally comes down to the individuals position. Some would say no and some say hell yeah it's a cruiser and have no limit on budget.

[@Mambey]

It will be interesting to sèe what gvm upgrades they can do with the 2.8 auto.

[@ProTouringTV]

Very similar to the v8 but with a capped GCM mate

[@reubs91]

@@ProTouringTVyeah can’t see the 2.8 being a ‘towing powerhouse’

[@ProTouringTV]

Gonna be bloody interesting to see . Our first one is about to hit the road with 3.5t on the back for 4 months

@@ProTouringTV Toyota should have gone to the straight 6 and standardised it for the 300, Prado, & 70 series.

Does your transmission team add an 80 degree oil thermostat to the transmission to avoid overheating ?

[@Mouldyturnip75]

If you're going auto, why not the ZF 8sp? Ripper touring rig, solid build - the seat covers on the Recaro's - are they off the shelf?

[@ProTouringTV]

They are mate . Black Duck make them for the Recaro’s. Up until now mate the Wholesale kit has been all that’s on offer with good backing and stock levels . We’ve got a few 8 speed builds coming through now and will report back with a RUclips vid

[@Mouldyturnip75]

@@ProTouringTV thank for the info re Black Duck. Onto them tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing the 8sp builds come out of the workshop in due course.

[@bretthogno]

Mad rig.
With the side steps, if your driving on a gravel road do stones get caught into the powerboards and damage any panels?
Or is it pretty same on dirt roads...

[@ProTouringTV]

Cheers mate . Yes if planning to hit a heap of corrugations extended mud flaps are usually recommended. We can extended the factory ones. A standard side step is recommended if you plan on doing a range of travel including heavy corrugations

that's a 300k farm truck !!!
