What a Great no BS review. Keep up the great work
Matt M agree! Ronny is well worth listening to when it comes to anything 4wd. Unlike certain off road personalities you know his info will not be dictated by sponsorship but is real world tested. Great content!

WHAT A FANTASTIC REVIEW !

Just what we want.
Please give us more!
people dreaming owning a bugatti, i dreaming owning a land cruiser 79!
Mine too
@@wagyuwahyu9153 OMG didn't you listen to the review, you need to spend so much money on this rubbish, still had lots of mechanical troubles, design faults and very uncomfortable car to drive, the most over rated 4WD on the market.
George Simmons Reading at your comment I thought you was talking about a Wrangler or discovery 🤣.
No car is perfect and the cruiser is for people who know what they want not for kids who want the things solved.
Same
@@humbertorubi2735 of course no car is perfect, I didn't say that. These dual cabs are very costly to buy in the first place and Toyota throw in major design faults. Why did you think I was talking about the Jeep Wrangler or discovery, I'm telling you these 2 cars are far, far better off the show room floor. The 79 has a crap interior, very small interior as well, for a company to sell a 4WD with 100mm smaller rear track is just ridiculous. The power out from this so called powerful V8 diesel is woeful, I don't care what they say, need to spend another $5000 to get up to a moderate output. The suspension is very average, need to spend a fortune here. Ground clearance is very poor, need to spend a big fortune here. Standard tyres are far to small, need spend more money. No storage anywhere, so need to spend a fortune here. And the alternator is just crap, in a crap location and these sealed water units are costly, another fortune. Changing out the rear diff assembly is very costly, another fortune here. The starter motor is in a crap location, do lots of water crossing you will drown it, another fortune here. The sound system, well it really doesn't have one, need to charge that out. Now don't get me wrong, when they are fully modified and kitted with the best gear, they are great, but you will send up to and over $150,000, got to be kidding. I nearly forgot, you can't get a auto transmission only a manual.
What a great review. Honest and direct. Thank you for taking the time for these 3 service videos.
Thanks thanks thanks so much. I almost dropped 120 grand on a second hand model and after this review decided to go with the new Isuzu Dmax. Everything you said was so amazingly true. What an incredible no bullshit review. This is a car with so many features you have to spend a lot more money on to get it right. I’ve driven the same vehicle with 100 K spent on it...And it was amazing. But then it was a 250 K vehicle. I spent 20 K on the Isuzu and it’s an 80 K vehicle. No regrets. Thank you for the most amazing review
Wicked video Ronny. I'm 6 weeks away from getting my 79 series dual cab, can't wait!
Authentic review bud! Very informative and genuine. Thanks for making the time to share!
This video was ridiculously informative and well delivered, as someone looking to purchase one in the future this was great to see.
Thanks Ronny. Helped me decide which way to go. Really like the way you gave this a bare bones review.
Great unbiased review. Enjoyed the fact that it is a great truck but you dont try to only show its perfection but you can show the flaws. Really helped me in my consideration for purchasing a 79 dc
Thanks Ronny you explained yourself about the vehicle very well and honest . From WA
thankyou very much for that awesome honest review i think youve saved me a ton of money there were alot of things i learnt and didnt know good job thanks again
Great video m8... Balanced unbiased and full of usable info. Thanks again.
Great video mate. I'm picking up my brand new 79 GXL dual cab next month. Can't wait! Definitely the best platform for a tough off-road rig.
A great honest balanced review. you have helped alot.
Absolutely spot on review, painted a perfect picture for what they are. I personally can’t see the value in it for what I do, but if you have an endless flow of cash it makes the decision less crucial. My biggest problems with them is the spring hangers, no comfort, no articulation and lack of power.
As always, great talk and review Ronny.
thanks for your video. very helpful and your comments were very genuine.
Great video. Very informative now I know what I have to do for my 2016 gxl land cruiser
Love the straight forward no sugar coating review. No wonder I subscribed long ago. Keep up the good work and hope your channel grows.
Soooo nice to watch your vids. Thanks!
What a great review!! I watched it as I was trying to make up my mind about buying an LC 76 V8 4.5L
I love your channel and have been subbed for sometime. I do like your new series offroad videos with more stories, camping, and cooking. However I really miss your older pure offroad footage videos. Keep up the great work and content, I love forward to videos.
optionsmr2 t
Love how you threw the alternator away and you did a double take to make sure it landed and rolled somewhere without hitting anything else haha Thank you for the review Ronny, I'm a bit late on this video.
GREAT VIDEO -THX FOR THE UPDATE
Cheers for the honest review Ronny.
Absolutely awesome and very honest review 👏 good on ya Ronnie 👏
Reading the comments is very interesting!! Your right Ronny they are so fun to drive, i bought mine 5yrs ago and haven't looked back!!
Great honest video Ronny. Thanks
Awesome work bro. Very beneficial!
Good review! Thanks Ronny.
It’s a great review. Thank you Ronny.
hey mate great video lots of really good info thanks
I don't comment often but I don't miss a single video I love watching you and 4xoverland and the expedition overland
guys from the states. I'm from Calif. and there is a local guy I watch a little bit from my area called trailrecon or something close to that. but My favorite channel of all is yours. I think I'm more into the Ausi culture than my own, seriously, cause in the states its
such a gun culture that for me that makes the great outdoors a little scary to be honest. So thanks for all your hard work in putting together such great videos that help me escape a little bit from the humdrum routine.
P.S.I just bought a Toyota tacoma regular cab 4x4 and the weekend outings have began again.
Michael Nares hahaha... same with me, all channel you mentioned i subscribed plus i watch i am jake & jason koertge channel
You should also check Mountain state overland too they doing realy beautiful work
Hi Ron , Good to get honest review lots to think about ,
Thanks for you honest opinions, Ronny. I would love to have a 79 or a 76 series - but I can’t afford any of them - but I love your honest opinions nevertheless.
great review. wish we could get them hear in the uk. keep up the great work mate.
Great review, thanks a lot!
keep up the good work Ronny.
well done Ronny !! perfect review......
Hi Ronny,
This is such a valuable review. I am a loyal fan of yours.
About time Thank you for a awesome vid luv your honesty the Toyota got you every where you need to go and I'm a nissan owner but still dream of a Toyota lol
very honest review, thank you.
Excellent review thank you very much.
Great honest review!
Honest review. Thanks!
THANK YOU FOR VERY DETAIL VIDEO ON YOUR WELL FIT OUT YOUR TOYOTA LANDCRUISER 79 SERIES
Everyone's beat me to it, but well done Ronny. Hands down amazing review mate.
I always hate filling my 100 series Sahara petrol wagon at 20lt per 100km city cycle and 15lt per 100km but after seeing the consumption rates of the 79 I'm much happier. 100 rides like a limo and has every creature comfort known to man other than a built in foot massager. Second hand it's also $20000 to $30000 cheaper than a 79 and that's a lot of fuel ! Great review Ronny as always !
Bayl's i have a vdj 79 for a work vehicle runing at gvm (toolbox,air compressor, and generator/welde plus parts) licky to get 18 to 20 litres/100km in good conditions on the highway
a 105 series runs a 1hz not a 12ht
PerthEnduro not at the time I bought my 100 (2010), petrol 100 was minimum 20k less than a turbo diesel 100 at the time (and much less than a 70 series). Never bothered me much the last 7 years because the company I worked for paid my fuel, but am no longer with them.
G'day, enjoy your channel like your tips and trips and reviews pretty genuine. I have a 2017 model absolutely love it it is a literal tank. Done a fair bit still more to do but more than happy. If your ever in central Qld would be good to meet you.
Honest review, worth to watch , tks.
Best review I've ever seen 👍
Great review Ronny. I recently looked into both the 79 & 200 as a potential replacement for my 1993 factory turbo 80 as I rolled her. The high Stressed 4 cylinder utes don't grab me. My conclusion on the 79 was basically just as your review. The 200 was very nice but the price tag with a huge weight and a lack of payload and other mods needed I ruled it out. The 79 is a good tough truck with a great engine but the leaf springs and different axle widths and the noisy 1980 interior ruled it out also.
I decided to repair and improve my 1993 80. It has only done 230000ks and on Dgas and fully loaded towing a van at around 15s to 17s. It will soon be a solid beefed up 6 cylinder TD 4.2 twin cab with coil sprung solid axles with diff locks and no expensive computerized technology under the bonnet. Unfortunately good 80s are hard to find. The 79 is the best on the market now and I hope Toyota keep them coming but the fixes you mentioned would be a great step forward. Don't hold your breath.
Good & honest review!
Great review Ronny
Just joined your patreon. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Ronny. Very informative as I want something to replace my defender to tour oz
Thanks for another great video. Please may you do a video on what one can do with the 3L D4d diesel hilux
i think the best no bullshit review iv ever seen well done mate
Very good info thank you
Good honest review.
Great review bloke.
Hi Ronny,
Regarding your fuel economy, is that with the larger tires taken into consideration? Im assuming the odometer is still counting as if your vehicle has the standard tyres. Changing to a larger diameter tyre will cover a larger distance per full rotation compared to an oem tyre so the fuel economy might not be as bad as you say. Im looking to get into a 76 and appreciate your honest review.
A great honest review. Basically they are a money pit. The money you spend on these vehicles is absolutely ridiculous. I know this to be true because I have an 08 single cab. I once started to add up all the money I spent on it, but got to a certain figure then didn’t want to know anymore. Having said all that I would never go back to a “normal” 4wd again. These things are brilliant. It is the classic love hate relationship.
you should have bought a Hilux-cheaper and does the same thing-No one goes off road 5 days a week but most people work 5 days a week using tarmac
@@goldenboyi1989 better off with a dmax then a hilux
Thanks for the video
My cruiser has been fitted with dynamat sound proofing in the door panels etc and makes it really quiet! Cheap and easy to do
LOL the Handbrake bit !!!! Amen to that :D
Great review. I want one
even in these generation the 70series landcruiser are simple made vehicle 💪 I love the 70series landcruiser but I love my gq nissan patrol more like a tank and I love my 60series landcruiser it's a reliable truck as well awsome video mate 👍
Thanks great video I have got a 2017 one and its used for towing in NZ .some mods done and i love it ,I wish it had a auto, I might invest in one.
A great review mate
Great Vehicle Rony. Love it!
Thanks, Lots of information on Toyota 79 series.
That was fucking brilliant mate 👍 the most direct and honest breakdown I’ve ever seen .
I’m still getting another one though 😆😆😆
Best review. Greetings from Papua New Guinea, mate!
Really good review
Trully a great great review ! Very much clear and usefull at the time to consider a skilled opinion to know if to buy it or not . Pros's nd Con's: super ! Advise to change the Alternator: escential.
HEY Ronny , awesome video mate , what did you end up doing about the manual locking hubs letting the water in?
Great video as usual Ronny. I have a question, regarding the low clearance for the leaf packs, do they have a spring over modification kit for it?
If only Toyota brought these to the US..... my Tacoma would be gone.
That's no joke. I would instantly trade in my built 2nd gen with front and rear pneumatic lockers.
Doing my research and come across your video....
Thank you for you real honest approach....
Buying/building these beasts is like a architectural achievement....they are each a individual work of art.
If money is holding you back then don’t go there..
If you have the money then go there and enjoy forever more🙏🙏😎
Thank you Mate for your review
Great video and review Ronny, I wish they sold these trucks in Great Britain, or I’d love a V8 Diesel in my LR Defender! However, a basic tech means less to go wrong when you’re out in the bush! Keep up the good work 👍
Great video. Very specific.
Thanks for the owner’s review Ronny - I do see the practicality of these and there are many in my SA regional location - I’m happy with my Hilux for both domestic and occasional touring using a tray/canopy system where I can simple lift off the touring canopy and have my ute for everyday activities. Toyota relies on it’s legacy to not feel any pressure to update safety and comfort for their guaranteed buyers market - window issues for a 60k + outlay is an insult - John in SA
Ronny, BTW. Both the 100k and 120k videos are worth the time to watch! crano
Great review.
Beautiful looking 4X4!
Thank you RD!
Toyota's focus market for the 70's is mining, agriculture, the UN, Red Cross and the NGOs.Someone I knew at Toyota said the recreation market only makes up less than 10%. So creature comforts is the last on their thinking. I used to work with some of these NGOs back in Africa. The drivers abuse the vehicles and don't really care. Routine servicing was mostly never on time. Yet these were just about the only vehicles that could take the punishment and still last at least half a mil kms. One construction company I knew had a replacement policy of 800,000kms or a write-off, which ever came first. Most of their fleet worked in rural africa on infrastructure projects usually carrying loads well in excess of 1.5tonnes over poorly maintained gravel roads. As for the narrower rear axle, it's is aimed at carrying more load capacity which the 70's core market looks for.
Hi Dunca, I have been somewhat in the same boat as U reg NGO`s etc. We ran a bigger fleet of J75`s & they barely lasted more than 3 years &
I've worked on plenty myself, pre 2012 where quite common to bust motors before 300k. Never seen a single one over.
Well, my `01 is past 300K Rescently saw a pic from AUS with well above 700K... They are out there :-)
@@petersafaritec7937 01, is not a diesel v8. It'll be a petrol v8, 1hz, 1hdt or 1hd-fte, and those will do 6-700kms easy. A turbo diesel v8 won't.
On the other hand if you want comfort buy a new one 200 series...
Very good video.
👏🏼wow super info👍🏼👍🏼
Love the 79 and have had one myself so do speak from experience. What I couldn’t easily fix and still can’t figure out though is how people deal with these things on a long trip. I wish there was a fix as I love em! I do only country kms 800+ a week... would be great to know how to make it a nice place to smash out the kms on a big trip. I don’t know what it is, but very fatiguing and a draining vehicle to drive.
Do you find this Ronny and have you done anything to help?
Things that come to mind are sound deadening to quiet it down. Lower RPM on the new ones has helped but still felt the same experience overall when I drove one the other day again. Mate with v8 troopy says exact same...
Good review. I had to choose between a cruiser and a patrol. Bottom line is I could not afford the cruiser, and at 6f3inch it was bloody uncomfortable. But, I do with my patrol had that V8 turbo diesel.
Great video. Hit all the points someone wanting to buy one would really need to know. Sadly they're not available in the US...I'd take a more simple vehicle any day over the bloated electronics they got in vehicles now. Factory front and rear lockers are pretty uncommon at least here in the US....more commonly you find a rear limited slip if you are lucky...most people skip that because it costs more and truthfully most people at least in the US have no use for any additional traction aids, and wouldn't have any idea how to use a locker anyhow.
Great video, I keep asking everyone, why Landcruiser, thanks for clearing that up.
What is that monster antenna on the front of you vehicle n the video?
Good work cheers
things to do in D4D engine..
block or blank the EGR
vent direct or catch can(i prefer vent directly)
2nd fuelfilter or add a prefilter
add a Unichip module(i add it on my hilux 2.5VNT with 25psi 280hp 500nm)
a full racing clutch pack
Good one,thanks
Nice review...
Great review thanks Ronny.
I'm at the beginning of my journey into this and researching what vehicle to buy. Currently thinking of building up a Ford Ranger... not sure yet though as its not a solid front axle. But I also don't know if that matters.
Would love to see a video of your opinion on solid vs ifs.
Cheers.
noneMan1 wait a bit longer and get a Ranger Raptor!
Thanks didn't know about that one. Looks like its out next year.
