Proud malaysian here. Even prouder when its a woman taking on the journey of an old Lc restoration… rare species here.. aku subscribe! From another Lc and Hilux owner…
Yay thanks for the sub!
You can use a rust converter, it is easier than scraping the rust. A rust converter after one day after application will turn rust into a ferous oxide and rust is gone.
@@JunOutdoorsWong Sefu is the Wong Fei Hung of cars especially 4x4s. I also saw a Pajero is that his personal project?
We need part 2 ASAP.. 😁
I'll try. Stay tuned!
Jun, your voice and energy are so vibrant and soothing. I love it; it almost gives me goosebumps just listening and watching. Any man lucky enough to have you in his life will be truly fortunate.
That's very kind of you to say. Thank you :)
After this video, Wong Sifu will be famous and busy of works.
Hope he doesn't mind that!
@@JunOutdoors where do I find Wong Sifu?
Wow, Wong Sifu is so skillful and knowledgable.
It''s like building a car from scratch. You guys are doing a great job!
Thank you!
*At **6:03** Home made test light for the win!! This man reminds me of my father (RIP). He passed his knowledge and love of cars on to me.*
That's nice. Old school is Gold :)
Change your Fuel filter at the gas station and fill the new one before install, it will save you a lot of pumping. Awesome Truck! I have a 95 Hilux surf with 1kz, best motor ever! 😁
Thanks for the tip!
Good thinking Jun. Restoration and preventive maintenance before taking your rig out will ensure it is in good condition and will last longer. An LC is a joy to drive on those tough, off road trails.
Hope so! Thank you!
great job! Props to Wong sifu for being patient and allowing you to be hands on, not many workshops will do that!
Yes I am grateful for that :)
what a legend ay!
Seeing you directly involved in giving personal touches to the Monster LC restoration process will make this LC very special.
It is pretty special to me already :)
Jun, your work is truly commendable! I own a Land Cruiser HZJ71V, which I imported from Japan in pristine condition. However, after residing in Scotland for 2 1/2 years, it began displaying signs of surface corrosion underneath, despite my limited use during summers and avoidance of winter driving. I recently watched your captivating Land Cruiser restoration series while commuting on the train. I eagerly anticipate the release of the second episode, especially after having my own Land Cruiser undergo a comprehensive undersealing treatment for rust protection. Keep up the fantastic work! 🚙👏
Rust is something we are all afraid of! Hope your land cruiser is doing alright now. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for the next video!
Wong Shifu is blessed to have a beautiful and dedicated apprentice. His sharing method is highly appreciated for Jun to manage the LC in the hour of need. Good luck and happy restoration to the maximum to Jun and Jupiter.
Thank you very much :)
I am enjoying the restoration series of "My DREAM TRUCK". LOL
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it :)
Wong sifu can do almost everything from restoration, wiring to engine troubleshooting. Thats amazing.
Indeed. I guess that's how and why he got the title Sifu :)
Exciting ! Can't wait to see the final outcome
There will be no FINAL OUTCOME. Land Cruisers have no end point for restoration and modification.
I like your channel. It is so positive and lively. I am subscribing.
Thanks for subbing!
Cant wait for ur LC to fully restored..i have LC too...already setup with overland settings...always first choice for long distance journey...
Amazing!
Have your Plan for restoration start with engine area first then work with the cosmetics of internal cabin to finally anti rust treatment,priming to spray painting of 2pak plus gloss clear!!!
Great video most people wont show the details like you did. Thanks
Thanks!
Nice work! Nice to see the bare bones of a slightly different KZJ78 than the JDM version (Prado) that I have here in New Zealand. Intrigued that the ECU has been removed, I didn’t know that was an option.
Yes, the ECU has been replaced by a manual one. Done by the previous owner. So it is now a fully mechanical cruiser!
taksabar nak tunggu vedio seterusnya 😁😁😁
Excellent work.. this is super fun and exciting to see the truck transformation.. and Jun have the right and keen learning behavior , thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Nice video Jun. been watching your videos for a while but this new series takes my interest a notch higher. I’m a Malaysian living in the Middle East who happens to own a 100 series LC. We have a camping club of Malaysians with 80,100 and 200 series LC plus some Prados and FJ Cruisers. Looking forward for the next episodes.
Thanks. Sounds like a great community you have in the Middle East!
Dude I can not believe how solid that thing is! Wow great machine Jun. it looks like minimal rust and I know in Ohio, (North East U.S.) my vehicles rust horribly. I will say I'm a little bummed that Sifu removed the Valvoline container patching the hole in your transmission tunnel, that was cool. I would've welded it in place and kept it there lol
Fantastic... love to see the progress and soon the final result.. and to see you making your hands dirty and learn every step from the master is just amazing.. all the best...
This is just the tip of the iceberg! I've still got lots to learn. Thanks for watching :)
Respect! You go girl! ❤️🙏🫡
Thanks capt!
Somehow comforting to watch how the baby is being moulded to take on an exciting future! Looking forward to more epis to come
Thanks Caryn. Hope this baby has a bright future!
Can't wait for the next episode. Wong Sifu is a complete package.
Yeah that's true. Although he seldom does paint job, but still needs one whenever he does it.
Your land cruiser is gonna be pretty like you! Keep up the good restoration
Thanks 👍
i somehow started to 喜欢上这个师傅的 work ethics , hes not only happy to work 他还在教你 ！
Yes indeed!
That insulation just might become the best upgrade of your build!
I hope so!
great that you had been introduced to Wong Sifu! He knows the Land Cruisers very well and his approach is simple-down-to-earth and his dedication,is superb! Happy for you and your "still-to-be-named-baby". greetings from Kampar!
Indeed. I'm glad he has been so patient with me! Lots more to learn from him :)
Am now glued to this project. Love it.
Wonderful!
Jun, I had a 1984 FJ 60 and finally sold it after 20 years. I still miss that truck. Always wanted the diesel motor. But in the US it was not an option. I will eagerly wait for each episode of the transformation. Best!
Aww I believe you miss your truck deeply. Thanks for watching!
An overlanding adventure begins when you start building your own vehicle. To see the stock vehicle transform into your dream rig. Good luck and I'm waiting to see you start your travels to different lands.
Thank you very much. Wishing you all the best in your overlanding journey too!
@@JunOutdoors Thanks Jun. I cannot believe that the start of my journey is just around the corner, two years of planning and looking forward to this day.
MUCH RESPECT TO MR. SIFU AND YOURSELF SISTER AS WELL .....STAY AWESOME !!
Thanks! Sifu was great :)
Nice record of the restoration of yr dream car. U are doing sth that I want to do for long long time. Happy to feel the satisfaction from yr work. It is not east but definitely joyful. Really anticipate watching the next episode 🤩🤩🤩
It's my pleasure. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for the next video! :)
Love your videos Jun!
Very natural and sincere content.
Keep up the good work.
From Australia
Thank you very much :)
Can’t wait to see the end product. But as the saying goes, it’s the journey and not the destination. Thus I am so enjoying the journey but still excited to see the end product. All the best June….. 🕺🏻
Thanks. I know what you mean. I am also patient and impatient at the same time! :)
Perfect decision to enjoy life! Have a safe journey soon Madam. Cheers!🍻
Thank you! 🙂
聽到你同師傅同你講廣東話 👍🏽
不過, 健康要緊, 勸勸師傅, 拆車嗰陣, 戴返個口罩.
11:20 師傅聽劉德華 "獨自去偷歡" 😂
Old vehicle restoration.. ah am always a sucker for this kind of content. Side note, rolling the insulation with a roller will ensure stronger adherence to the panels. Since it has been done, for the next resto work then.
No roller when we were doing it. But using our bare hands kinda worked too. Thanks for the suggestion :)
MY FAVORITE CAR IN THE WORLD
Nice job, it's a nice car and always been my dream to have one. I’m looking forward to seeing renew get done.
Coming soon!
Hey Jun, another great sharing! I am keen to consider going into car camping. With limited budget, considering having an old 4WD. After what you have gone through with the Land Cruiser redo, would you recommend that for others?
Hello, happy to hear you are considering to get into car camping! Well, it's still premature for me to give any advice because I have not taken my Land Cruiser for camping yet! But from what I've seen and heard, an old wagon like this is a good choice. They were built to last :)
@@JunOutdoors Thanks Jun for your response. Much appreciated. If I may ask, how much it costs to have the Wong SiFu redo the whole car?
You start drive your Dream Truck nanti sure you exactly like your idol Eva zu Beck.
Just being myself and not trying to copy anyone.. but Eva is awesome :)
soon this LC will be like moving bungalow. good job!
Hope so! Thanks :)
Wow...its realy good if we as the owner getting involve on our own vehicle restroration project...so we will know our "baby" very well
Cant wait for next episode
Selamat hari raya and happy holidays
Building a relationship with the car. Hope all goes well! Stay tuned to the next video :)

It's part of the journey - building a relationship with the car. Hope all goes well!
王师傅 好功夫

I was ready for part 2 :O
Great video, and awesome 4 wheel drive
Thanks! 😀 I'll work on Part 2 soon :)
After finished you will love this vehicle very much.
I already love it very much :)
no gloves 14:30 the isulation is already part of his defensive system.Beautiful work.
Thanks :)
Thank you for sharing your restoration project - love these videos!
Thanks for watching! Glad you like the videos :)
You can check to see if the radiator fan viscous clutch is working properly by idling the engine after its fully warmed up (e.g. after a drive), and getting someone to turn the engine off as you observe the fan. If the fan stops immediately after the engine is switched off, this means the clutch pack is working as designed. But if the fan simply keeps spinning after the engine is turned off, it's time to service the fan clutch or simply replace it.
That's a great tip. Thank you so much!
Looking forward to rest of build 😊
More to come!
Try using lower temperature thermostat that opening the coolant to radiator earlier will help cool down engine before heat up. 10 blade fan definitely help..
Thanks for the tip!
Subscribed!!!!awesome video…LandCruiser fans here from Land Below The Wind…
Amazing. Thanks for the sub!
Waa..ni kalau zaman belajar mmg ak pinjam buku nota dia😂. Mesti Byk sticky notes lepastu colorful
wong sifu is awesome
He is :)
@@JunOutdoors you're awesome too! thanks for doing this build on a classic LC and doing a series on it. looking forward to the next episode
It is time to spend!! The ceiling rust removal may be more effcient with sand paper perhaps... The red car that you cut your insulation is a gem... a LC40!!
Yep it's a BJ40! Sifu has an affinity towards old Toyota LCs. And yes, sandpaper would have made it easier lol
Can't wait for final results! ❤
Impressive. Good job Jun. Looking forward to watching the part 2 / Progress
Thanks. Coming soon!
Nice job, looking forward to the completion of this LC new look.
Thanks! Stay tuned :)
hi Jun i just can wait to see your Truck complete. Nice sharing, love to watch your channel, keep it up.
Thanks! Stay tuned for the next video :)
Jun & Wong Sifu 加油 ，love and respect 💯
Thank you!
I recognise that roll of white tape!
cant wait for the rest, great job
Nice sequence of refurbishment job..good luck
Thanks!
Strip it Down Bare find rust problems treat it before respray,if you gona replace a leaky radiator might as well install a new engine thermostat and water pump,new hoses,belting,etc!
The 70Series is Legendary as with All Land Cruisers adding to Toyotas Reliability!
Great tip and insight. I'll keep your suggestions in mind. Thanks :)
Hermosa chica, grandiosos vehículos todo terreno
cannot wait for the next episode,......
Thanks and stay tuned!

Terbaiklah sifu Wong and Jun. Tak sabar nak tengok kejadiannya 👍

Awesome project, thanks for sharing! Enjoying this restoration a lot! Greetings from Australia. Ironically the 1st gen Prado like yours was not sold by Toyota Australia.
Thanks for watching. More to come :)
thankyou for the knowledge Jun and sifu!
Perfect video....and look easy....but is not easy at all....but definitely a good job
Thanks a lot 😊
Nice progress. Chayok!
Thanks!
Sifu workshop sound like they are having a party 😂🎉
Haha yes! Always a party there!
@@JunOutdoors how long did you searched for that land cruiser (very early model)
Wah...handwriting so nice
so niceeeeeeeeeeeeee, wat a car !
Thank you!
nice process, look fwd next episode
love it, eagerly waiting for the next episode
finally 🥳. I'm excited to watch it
Awesome video... congratulations on your new acquisition....
Thanks :)
@@JunOutdoors looking forward to seeing your vehicle completed and looking forward to hearing about your overland journey
The rust on the ceiling still remain there, improper removal. Should apply sandpaper to de-rust ( or using power brush) the surface, clean until bare metal appeared follow by applying coating.
I guess we didn't have the chance to do a proper clean up! Will have to live with it. But thanks for your input!
cant wait to see the end
Cant wait the next episode 😊
Wow! Awesome video thanks for sharing knowledge
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
This is my dream car also, hope I will get someday
Jun bila siap, I tak sabar menungu, mesti best..😮
Coming soon!
waiting for the next part
Coming soon!
Just my two cents knowledge.... Keeping it original is always the best policy.
Overheating usually occurs when the cooling system is filled with dirt and needs proper cleaning, proper coolant, functioning valve , poor engine gasket.
Should not change the fan to aftermarket unless it is meant specifically for this vehicle. Change to the original of this model if your existing fan clutch is not optimum.
If the cooling system is in healthy conditions, it should not be a problem for normal running even at traffic jams.
If you are doing 4W Low gear for extended distance, yes, you may see temperature rising due to slow pace and high engine rev. My suggestion is to add a good unit of auto fan at the radiator front.(If space allows- pandai pandai lah).That should help to give you some extension.
If it still tak boleh, you must be damned hardcore with the 4Wheeling. The simple answer your car is calling - Take-A-Break-lah!
I could not see overlanding expeditions needing to engage 4Wheeling low gear for miles. That is only for professionals, that like to get their adrenaline hormones kicking....lompat longkang, langgar bukit kakis...😂
Thanks for your detailed info and insight!
Yes I do believe simple and basic is the best. Don't want to overdo it and cause more problems. And yeah, the purpose of the vehicle is for overlanding, not much off roading :)
Great progress. 👍
7:23 Fishing reel, suit me a person who like fishing. Perhaps you'll use it during camping
I'm learning how to fish!
AWESOME CHOICE IN CAR! I have a restored Kzj78 myself and dote over it like anything. Suggest you use some dymo tape for your labelling when you find time. Am sure you will eventually, (find time that is). I replaced the mag wheels with 5-piece WEDS from eBay Japan and went with new tires from Falken as the ones that came with the car were showing some wear after years of use. Also installed a frontrrunner roof rack for my awning to be able to latch on….enjoy the restoration journey! (P.S. am now a subscriber :-) )
Thanks for the sub! Your KZJ78 sounds great!
mantap la amoi….nanti kalau mau tengok land 2 punya setup kalau ada masa jemput datang Borneo Safari di Sabah..di sini banyak koleksi land 2..kalau mau join sekali pun boleh..salam dari peminat land 2..kita berkongsi minat yang sama..
Memang pernah nampak banyak LC2 di sabah. Bagus kalau boleh join Borneo Safari satu hari nanti :)
