these 80s are a beast of a truck, I had one in 1990 when they first came out and then a 1997 the last of the 80 series, brilliant truck

There's a fine line between balsy and stupidity....I think he's on that border...

That looks like a heck of a good time!! Great video!

It's a 4" lift with 35" tyres. Thanks for the compliments mate, appreciate it.

Very Nice Rig and very cool driving skills!!

The middle section is the top of Cut Rock, also known as the Ox trail. I have an FZJ80 with a 50mm lift 33"s and a rear locker it walks up Five ways and Cut Rock, low & slow is the go. Also the gates at either end of Lemon Tree are there to stop trucks driving that mud, I know the gates are not always locked, but if you saw the gates wouldn't you think they're there for a reason.

Very nice LC80, do you know what lift is on it? ... by the way, you've got some very nice videos "mate" ... cheers from Brazil !

Them 80 series are impressive machines

awsome video awsome tracks! and truck!

Nice video and tough 80 making gnarly sections look easy...

Thanks mate!

Thanks mate, glad you liked it.

Love your videos

Thanks dude.

You're welcome. I had one of those before i moved to brazil, it was the petrol version, a fzj80 ... 3" OME lift and 33", wonderful rig ... now i have a Troller T4 , you can take a look at it in my channel. Also cool WK you have, im impressed with the traction aids it has.

This cruiser driver is really good with his lines. Good car too. Gonna throw out a question...do I want front locker or rear locker first? (guessing front but aint sure) 2012 d22 navara(has lsd on rear).

Is it just the standard 4.5L petrol under the bonnet or have you had work done to it. It just seems to be going a lot harder then most 4.5L petrols I see getting around and 4wding.

Nice rig mate, I have the exact same one but not as much in the lift. Did you do anything to make the petrol motor water proof/ish? Any info would be sweet.

Mate what 4" suspension setup is that?? Looks like the Flexy coils... how do you find them on the road and day to day???

Glad to see you put a locker in...bet its unstoppable now!

Top video, looking into an 80 series myself.

great vid very lucky on that 1st climb mate

if you dont mind telling me the year of manufacture of this land cruiser?

Is the pipe on the roof supposed to work as a roll cage?

Full lockers would've been on my list WAY before a lift, tire size upgrade, or power plant swap! FJ's can do great at nearly stock (though, a snorkel is real handy!), but you gotta build it to deal with the terrain. For this, I might've even considered a gear reduction and/or turbo-diesel (no, nothing against a beefed 6, nor V-8, other than low RPM torque). Still, nice rig, and while not driven 'expertly', it is being driven within it's limits, and those limits are being pushed upon. You can be happy with it 'as is', but Diff Lockers,on-board air, and maybe frame stiffening would be on the "to do" list.

Definitely Gdjiw. He has a beast

Dobinson suspension with 2 inch coil spacers changed the front panhard

This video exactly demonstrates how powerful this beast is. anyway i was wondering, can the diesel one perform exactly like this?

Aussie Four Wheelers (Hemi4WD) Hi, how many inches is this 80 lifted? 4'? btw, good video mate.

just bought one after flogging off the Defender. The fun begins

This video gotta be named "80-Series Land Cruiser with Steel Balls" :)

There's 3 sections: 0:00-1:33 Five Ways (off Martinsville Hill Rd) 1:34-3:02 Plank Hill Rd 3:03-4:51 Lemon Tree Rd

thats awesome man. Did you employ a bunch of Indians to do you recoveries for you?

A nice 1VD-FTV would finish this rig off perfectly.

what brand tires are those?

I see a lot about lockers but I’m wondering.. is his tire pressure too high? it seems like he’s on pavement pressure which pops him up higher

Close call! Nice looking truck, pity Toyota doesn't give lockers as standard

Tough Dog panhard, bent the Dobinson one:p really good on road even without swaybars.

Thanks mate, sorry about the music, not everyone has the same taste.

ALL Toyota Land Cruisers have Balls, rock SOLID trucks.. BETTER than crap range rovers.

Lockers would save your CV's etc from the pounding your giving them but impressive mate. Must admit I never leave my tow hitch in off road, or the tracks we do would have the rear wheels off the deck half of the day :-)

I miss Steve Irwin

Nothing like a 60 series landcruiser

Great video dude!! Ignore the haters!! Jajaja what suspension are you running???

top truck the 80

Hey JBL (Jeff Bridges Lookalike, i am jus gonna call u that till u give us ur name..lol) loved this one!!. which one do you rate higher.. the 80 or the 105 series?

Good time spent well,next upgrade is locker

Floors it on rock ledges and idles through mud trenches..... Hmmmm

If you don't like them, save yourself the stress of watching 4wding videos and take up cross stitch.

I would love to take my blazer to Australia some day.

Grate vid, nice camera work. Gopro?

that is some 80 , does it have lockers?

Next thing on the to do list is a front locker.

how much did you pay for your lockers when you got them?

I just have to ask, what's with the pipe?

Always nice to see the 50psi club out on a rally

Try and error and a good bunch of luck! Ha ha! Even my driving style! Ha ha! Nice video.

Cool

gees ive done that in my stock d22 navara

Half the reason is better than all the reason 8-)

What size lift and tires?

One thing that this guy definitely have, is freakin balls

NIC

awesome

tough as. massive as. we all know which word I'm missing.

are you really asking that question?

Put a set of Creepys on it and it would have walked up @1.32

is that a 6inch lift??

Anyone know what front bumper that is?

Need some lockers and a diesel motor but still good fun, good onya :)

Where abouts in the watagans is this?

Mans needs to lock his diff

Yokies.

I gotta ask.....Whats the pipe on the roof for?

What is the pole for on his roof rack?

almost lost it.. lockers as every one has just said , but with lockers, u can really slow every thing right down. Play it safe..

Why not lock diff?

what tyres is this guy running?

i have bought all my bolt on's for my cruiser from the states and saved a shit load! Want to support Australia business but won't let them charge me what ever they want for something i can buy O.S. for 1/3 the price. (best to deal with 1 supplier to get freight discount). Still works out much much cheaper.

Needs lockers, front and rear, badly... Isn't this the place where ARB comes from?

what motor is it running?

go frank....

I think he learned to drive in a Suzuki....!

Nothing like ripping the guts out of machine and environment to massage your ego, this is a lesson for all 4x4 owners on how not to behave if you don't want all our forest tracks locked up to us all.

just left of the steering wheel bud on the dash is a button that says diff lock try it cause you make a good wagon look shit

petrol or diesel?

STRAYA !

Ill meik a video about my construkcion vijecals and driving whit my 2020 ford ranger wildtrak on sam off road whit my friend 😎 cheers mate 🍻🍻🍻🍻

What no lockers?

Fortunately he has that piece of pipe attached to his roof rack. Lockers would have made this all easy.

No lockers? No problem 🤣🤣

A real professional goes slow never leaves the tires from the ground and never spins the tires.

I hate it when my vehicle has testicles all of its own.

get a lockers man this is danger

by land rover for toyota ownes : "how to use the steering wheel..."

900 psi in the tyres :-D

aaaaaaaand thats how you break shit!

Need Lockers

as others said, if you had lockers dude you wouldnt have slid down like that so get lockers you MO MO, so how does it have balls btw,,,?

Mate no traction buy arb air lockers for traction
