The first thing you NEED! to do is replace the timing belt & start a log book of repairs & services. Nice car though, money well spent. P.S Use genuine Toyota parts when replacing the timing belt.
@@6047874 Yes, along with all the pulleys too, usually the spare parts guy knows this & will sell all the parts required, the timing belt service life is the main issue. a water pump can leak or fan belt break, no big deal... but a timing belt breaks on a interference motor, BIG issues.
Don't worry about the cosmetic both interior and exterior. Can be done last. Once when the belts and pulleys are sorted out, pull out the radiator and get it cleaned inside and outside, replace the top cover if possible. Then the radiator cap and the hoses, just put new one. Over here these parts are cheap and plenty. Anyway good luck and enjoy the drive.
Whats everyone got against raptor coat. I think its a great idea its a 4wd not a show car. Its easy to clean and doesn't get scratched up when you go off road.
Only with sexy fingers hand brake mechanics, everything they touch they fvck. Nothing wrong with a correctly adjusted Landcruiser handbrake with good, correct shoes to a good rotor handbrake surface, mine holds very well forwards & backwards, even locks the rear wheels while rolling without having to reef on the handbrake.
For an old diesel like that I strongly recommend you get on that first major oils service asap for the engine, diffs, gearbox and transfer case. While you're at it check the grease on the wheel bearings and do the fuel filter. In terms of the engine oil I strongly suggest you do a proper job with a flush first. A company called cost effective maintenance has some really good products you might want to look into specifically the flushing concentrate and FTC decarboniser. They supply a lot of the mine sites with there heavy duty diesel applications. I've used the flushing concentrate and continue to use it each oil change along with the FTC decarboniser in the fuel and the old TD42 has never been happier.
It doesn’t matter the condition, it doesn’t even matter the price, what matters is you have a an 80series land cruiser it’s not a car it’s a powerful tool that has many uses and with care and respect to the engineering it is a great investment good luck and god bless.
Wicked intro mate, she took you everywhere all the other trucks did.. I grew up in the same car going all around Vic.. onto bigger and better things tho mate.. sorta ;)
And that intro omg nearly made me cry lol I did the same went from a much loved pajero exceed to a 1hdt 80. First think I'd do mate is a straight through exhaust . Pure sex man
Standard paint is too good and if he resprays it in the colour that he’s got it will look 20x better than any raptor coating. Also might be a good idea for them to paint it them selves since they like to do diy stuff and film it
@@peterbarber7613 raptor coating is ugly and to me just tries to hide things, the paint is fine its just the clear coat would be easier to fix that then respray the whole car in raptor
I'm in the same position mate, would love a hdt80 or hzt105 but struggling to find anything reasonable. And then there's the fact I need to let go of my current pride and joy. But happy to see you found your dream rig, you're gonna make so many good memories in it
Great intro!, but I liked this Chanel because it was different from the others with the Pajero and showing what it can do, but now it’s like everyone else jump on the land cruiser band wagon. All well
Same for me. Your previous car was awesome and something special on its own. Pajero ll is still an underrated vehicle that is really comfortable for touring because of the IFS and low fuel consumption for the 2.8 Diesel.
Great purchase! I'm really stoked to see what you do with it! 32" ius a great tire size. 33" is my go to, because it's just incredibly versatile and performs just as well as large tires. Also, you should grow that beard way the hell out. It looks good!
Welcome to the 80. That smile says it all. One thing you will have to get use to is the lack of handbrake. No matter how much you adjust it 😂. Probably the best decision you have ever made. Enjoy 👍
Loved this episode! The intro was so good! I think some 1st mods to the 80 would be to make it breath better. That stock airbox looks like it doesn't flow well. A 3" manta exhaust will change it too. Might get better economy with those mods, I did in my rd28 when I did it
It’s a dream when you want one and first get it but understand that they are money pits you will have 15+ grand in it within 2 years or sold prices have doubled on them since covid started and smart people know to stand clear at the prices people are asking for them hopefully you didn’t pay more then 12 grand otherwise you have been robbed I payed 6500 for mine 2 years ago in top condition clean as 360.000 ks rear main seal failed in the first 6 months so rebuilt box and put new clutch at same time $6400 not long after motor started rattling bottom end went so got motor reconditioned $8700 and new turbo put on the way I see it is I got around 23 grand in it including the price I payed for the car and now it’s basically new I could ask for 45 grand with covid tax but I’ll just keep travelling.
Yep, Toyota makes most Robust reliable 4WD! All the farmer uses them! Quite lo KM for that age though... I am confident to go around AUS in that without doing anything! My new old 96 LR Defender is still holding but already spent heaps just to fix minor things such as door seal , holes on the floor,,,,,, Came across this channel last week. Very very interesting! Thanks!
Great seeing you get what you had your heart set on and it'll be interesting to see what you do with it. Should make for a fun bit of Tojo rivalry with the GQ boys, too 😉
up grading wheels to 33s or 35s to make it a capable off road track machine and roader tourer and all the added extras and added weight....$$$$$$....... hope u have big pockerts.... fuel consumption will jump up to 20 litres per hundred welcome to the Landcruiser club........reasons why i sold both my Landcruiser's....and brought Mitsubishi triton turbo diesel....8.9 litres per hundred.........
Just a heads up. It’s not a 1HDT engine. It’s a 1HZ. The 1HD cruisers are worth a lot more and people try to sell the 1HZ cruisers as a 1HD hoping someone that doesn’t know what there looking at will buy it and pay a lot more.
Nice 80 Series, I've got a 91 3F petrol model and it's the same colour. I've had it for a few years now and I'm happy with it. Hope to see you guys up north one day.
As a fellow factory turbo 80 Series owner, don't spend too much time worrying about handbrake adjustment. Within a week of adjustment it will be back to being useless again. Never, ever rely on the handbrake to hold it, always park in gear. It's so bad it simply can't be trusted. Enjoy it. The engine is a peach off-road and mine flexes through everything.
Great start to the vid, love the editing. Mmm nice Cruiser man well done, there a little old school but not that old... Love them. Will be good to see it's mods and maintenance as you get into it. 👍👍👍
I consider rust on of the biggest, if not the biggest problem here in Northern Europe. But seems like you don't really deal with that kinda stuff over down under :-D Anyways a cheap 80 series would still be around 10000 €, which is approximately 11500 USD. But like I said, I'm pretty sure you need to put almost 5-10 k in for a good welder to do the body work. Engine should be fine.
You might be shocked at how quick a properly modified 1HDT can be, I have no desire for an FTE. Custom intake manifold, 130% injectors with matched pump, big turbo, big exhaust and big intercooler has made it go fantastic! Great economy unless your up it all time, no certification, no electronics = reliable.
I bet if you were to tape off the fenders and buff the hood with an electric buffer, use wax and grease remover then respray the clear coat on just the hood it'd look schmick!
I got a new rear diff, machined brake drums, new handbrake pad kit, and the superior handbrake upgrade, and the handbrake still barely holds on a mild gradient.
Hi Aussie Arvos! I have a question that I don't see anyone making videos of. Apart from the diesel models, I have seen many many petrol+lpg Landcruisers for sale and being a newbie myself to this world of 4wd'ing, would you be able to shed some light on whether going for a petrol+lpg option is actually a good idea when it comes to a bit of touring and light 4x4 action? Or is it an option to just grab one of those and do a lpg delete? Just seems that it's easier to find petrol+lpg LC's on the used market (at a good price point too) compared to diesel counterparts. Would be great to see a video discussing this.
I think the big end bearings are meant to be done every 100 to 150 thousand kms on the 1hd-t. It was a problem with them and the 1hd-ft fixed it??? Handbrake needs upgrading...all Lcs have the problem from a poorly designed handbrake, adjustment will only get you so far
Good on you, looks like a good score. Looking forward to the mods and trip videos👍 After you last video I thought you'd decided to stick with the Pajero.
If youre going to go down the road of a Kaymar rear bar, i have a slightly dinged RHS twin jerry can holder swing away for sale in Melb if its of interest
Nice new truck mate. I hate to pop your bubble but the best you can hope for is a handbrake that kinda works on a 80seires. They are just terrible. sorry
Does it have enough torque in it that you could pull a bend out of a creek. The first thing I would have a good look at is the radiator and all the rubber hoses to make sure it doesn’t get hot at the worst time.
That intro was mint! Was waiting for the 80 since you teased it in the comments a while back, welcome to the Toyota side of things!
Thanks jalegre , its been along time coming!!!
patty is getting good at the cinematics holy this intro is good!
Thanks Angus, really appreciate it mate :)
love it, "low Kms" = 380,000 km! lol. and another one, fuel economy has been great "13 to 14L per 100". Oh, to be young an optimistic again ;)
Please don’t raptor coat it
You do realise having some sort of protective coating on it helps offroad right?
@@MitchPlays254 yeah but no raptor.
The first thing you NEED! to do is replace the timing belt & start a log book of repairs & services. Nice car though, money well spent. P.S Use genuine Toyota parts when replacing the timing belt.
ystd I placed an order for my timing belt, bought my 80 2 months ago wanna be sure to make it all up to date..
Replace the coolant pump, it's right there near around the timing belt. Changing the other belts is also a good idea.

Keen to see a build up on the mighty 80 side note no matter how much U adjust that handbrake it ain't going to work #nevertrusttoyotahandbreake
They don't need them cos they never stop running
my Handbrake works
Fit a gq handbrake
It's not just that landcruisers handbrake, it's all Landcruiser handbrakes😂
And Hilux even the new models are RS...

That intro was amazing, going to miss the Paj, it was a huge staple of this channel. Still a very underrated 4x4, just raptor coat the 80!
Raptor coating looks like a poor man's job. I wouldn't advise anyone raptor coating
Standard paint is too good and if he resprays it in the colour that he’s got it will look 20x better than any raptor coating. Also might be a good idea for them to paint it them selves since they like to do diy stuff and film it

@@peterbarber7613 raptor coating is ugly and to me just tries to hide things, the paint is fine its just the clear coat would be easier to fix that then respray the whole car in raptor

Congrats dude. Recently bought another 80 (1HDT) just because they're such great 4WDs.
Whatd ya pay?
Didn’t you just do a segment on you don’t have to buy a Patrol or Landcruiser to go four wheeling and have fun? 😂
ns i was just thinking that
No you don’t have too
But if one comes up for a steal your going to upgrade from the $1000 shitta
And you don’t need one, but it doesn’t mean he can’t have one if he wants one

PS Awesome intro, had me singing along!
those warn winches are easy to rebuild, definitely worth fixing over replacing

Hey mate, congrates on the car but what did you pay for it?
we neeeed to know haha
HOW MUCH MONEYS?
What you pay for the car you never told us
i picked one up for 8k. i thought that was cheap.
@@keanwoodall7598 8k that's mint 👍🏾
No one mentions anything about the intro? That is just golden. I watched it so many times.
Loving the edits lately bro! Makes the video just that bit more better 👌
Thanks Lee :)
Well done mate. I just bought 2000 105 series with the 1FZ-FE on petrol and gas today. Absolute mint condition and a bargain.
Great seeing you get what you had your heart set on and it'll be interesting to see what you do with it. Should make for a fun bit of Tojo rivalry with the GQ boys, too 😉

up grading wheels to 33s or 35s to make it a capable off road track machine and roader tourer and all the added extras and added weight....$$$$$$....... hope u have big pockerts.... fuel consumption will jump up to 20 litres per hundred welcome to the Landcruiser club........reasons why i sold both my Landcruiser's....and brought Mitsubishi triton turbo diesel....8.9 litres per hundred.........
yeppp i guessed it from the last video hahaha awesome stuff mate the 80s are wicked vehicles. you wont regret buying it!
Good stuff!
I’ve got a 91’ 1HDT, love it!
Best mod, replace centre console with a fridge/freezer.
I went from a gen 2 Pajero to a 1hdt 80 as well! The 80 is great but sometimes I do miss the good old paj....
Great vid lads, keep up the good work
Just a heads up. It’s not a 1HDT engine. It’s a 1HZ. The 1HD cruisers are worth a lot more and people try to sell the 1HZ cruisers as a 1HD hoping someone that doesn’t know what there looking at will buy it and pay a lot more.
chop the boot and put a little tray there and a couple of toolboxes
Nice 80 Series, I've got a 91 3F petrol model and it's the same colour. I've had it for a few years now and I'm happy with it. Hope to see you guys up north one day.

You got a very nice car. Especially the manual mission is wonderful.
How much did you pay or like rough amount if you don't mind me asking?
Yeah didn’t mention it at all
The Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series Is The Jeff Kennett Of 4WD’s!
Yeah, I was waiting so long for this vid
Good on you mate have a great time on this build

Ha ha ha. I was waiting for the jump 😂😂😂😂😂. Awesome story. Love it.
If you still have the pajero you should do a drag race. Safely that is, then we can all see the difference
Nice, can’t wait to see the Mods, if it was mine I’d just paint the bonnet mat black and leave the rest.

Nice vehicle, I'm looking forwards to the future mods. Well done. Great intro.
Looks like you may have an old school arb high mount bull bar. Good buy keen to see where you take this. Love my 105 such great rigs .
is that what it is? been trying to find one for so long. i love how it sits so low
@@ryanlee7838 I believe they are called an arb Dakar bar. I'm pretty sure you can still order them new if you go on a waiting list for a batch order.
I’d say that’s a pretty clean Landcrusier for its age and mileage.
Awesome mate Congrats!!
Good on you, looks like a good score.
Looking forward to the mods and trip videos👍
After you last video I thought you'd decided to stick with the Pajero.
Time for a 3'' exhaust and let that 1hdt sing!!!
Liams patrol is gonna have to really work it to compete with that ahaha
Get some JTX lights for it
Oh plz do some more vids with this. Builds, installs etc. I just did the exact same thing here in nz🤣
Patty doing a great thing buying an 80
Congrats on the purchase. Love the videos. Need to get a sticky soon
First video of yours ive seen, That intro got me clicking Subscribe quicker then my first time in the sack.... haha
My biggest regret was selling my 80 it was just like that but fully worked and I sold it dirt cheap
Same here. Sold mine for 7k years ago :( kicking myself now
Where Was This Filmed?
Intro had a motology films feel to it
If youre going to go down the road of a Kaymar rear bar, i have a slightly dinged RHS twin jerry can holder swing away for sale in Melb if its of interest
Nice new truck mate. I hate to pop your bubble but the best you can hope for is a handbrake that kinda works on a 80seires. They are just terrible. sorry
So keen!!!!!!
Why didn't you go a 1FZ if you wanted a budget build?
Hahah thats great dude. What an upgrade!
Best 4WD Ever Built!
3 inch exhaust and will sound mint
you boys are making some awesome content. love the channel
Liam needs to step his game up and chassis swap his leafy ute now lol
Hey! My GQ has electric windows!
The intro is so fucking good 👑
Good on ya mate good to see ya end up getting it
Should put stainless snorkel New paint . 35s and lifts
Sick rig. Can't wait to see the build of it.
I would love to start with something like the paj, and love your vids mate
Cant wait for the raptor coat ;) unless you wanna keep it stockish as the value of these are increasing crazy
Looks mint, keen to see the vids on it (servicing, mods)
intro was well played hahaha nice lads
Does it have enough torque in it that you could pull a bend out of a creek. The first thing I would have a good look at is the radiator and all the rubber hoses to make sure it doesn’t get hot at the worst time.
