Wow! She looks a beauty! The Landcruiser has finally had a facelift and the transformation is amazing. The black features around the vehicle and the turquoise max trax stand out to make this car a head turner. The team at Ironman / Discover 4x4 did an amazing job!

in regards to the hooped bar, if you hit a kangaroo its less likely going to damage your radiator therefore you can still drive the car back especially if your going remote. where as hoop less doesn't protect any of that

Good looking rig 👍 but with the hot V under the bonnet i personally would get air vents installed on bonnet to let the massive heat build up out , Toyota forgot to install them or like the rear off the 79 series couldn't be bothered its the owners problem to sort out at their cost , hmm looking forward to see how u go good luck drive safe 👍

As I mentioned early my experience with a Sydney Ironman dealer was really bad. The mods, I had to get redone by another company which turned out to be cheaper and of better quality. Although the Ironman dealer said they had finished the mods, they had not finished and, they would not release my 4x4 until I had paid far more than they quoted. I must say, you say you insist on being treated like everyone else with the Ironman dealer, (mentioned in the previous video) I find that hard to believe. If that were the case it would seem to me you would not advertise for them. Just want to bring a little balance to this and make people aware if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation that I found myself in. Ironman will leave you hanging. I think Ironman is one of the worst companies one could deal with. I am saying this in the interest of the people. I am sorry if this may offend you however I am being honest and it is in the hope others will not have to go through what I went through.

@JourneyUnknown Жыл бұрын

Hi Ian, You've clearly had a bad experience with your Ironman dealer, which we can sympathise with because, as mentioned in this episode, we have had similar problems with other companies. Let us be perfectly clear. We have absolutely no affiliations with Ironman or any other company for that matter and were not given any special service because we are content creators. The reason why we took our Landcruiser to Discover 4x4 is because they built our previous two cars, and we couldn't fault their workmanship.

@ianmason8774 Жыл бұрын

@@JourneyUnknown I will have to take your word for that. It would seem to me if you wanted to be treated the same as all the other customers you would not have mentioned them in the first place. Surely you are not sincerely saying they would not be influenced in any way by you promoting them. I know if I were them I would. I would give you a little better treatment. But hay, I would not be affiliated with them.

Thanks lan, it's easy to read into. we weren't asked to film anything, definitely didn't film the store to promote them. It was filmed for the story line of our episode. lm not here to change your mind or promote anything. The car was booked in well in advance it took a week and a half to complete, and we paid full price for their work. not every channel gets kickbacks or special attention.

@@JourneyUnknown I will have to take your word for that. Begs the question however, why would you promote them if you wanted to be treated the same as all other customers? Rhetorical.
