Not sure if anyone would be interested..

@@JCYT how long did you wait on the rig it's a 4 year wait now did u hear about that crazy stuff also last v8

@@lilshawn9512 I waited a year and that was long at the time... I did hear and actually the same week this video came out Toyota Australia have stopped taking orders. Sadly it's 4 years (OR never) as they're anticipating they won't be able to produce enough before the new generation of 70 series come out in 2026! It's a crazy time we live in

@@JCYT 50k views later, I’m sure there are plenty interested, including me. Congrats for your new car.

Because people in US don't like diesel engines 😅

The aftermarket support for 79s is AMAZING in Australia but i would I would love to see a US styled 79. I love the US taste!

Because it’s too off road focused.

because there are to many jeep fan boys that just don't know...

I plan on importing one in 2 years

Maybe Toyota doesn't want business with a bunch of criminals

Cheers mate I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you mate!

Thanks for the feedback! I hope so too 😁

Thanks for the kind words!

Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed it

Enjoy it mate what a vehicle!

Thanks mate! You're gonna love it. You could always get the tray in the future. At least you didn't wait 12 months for your 79 haha Will get something together about the Netgear modem. Need to do some rural testing.

Good luck with it! Such an exciting experience!

Thanks mate!

Glad you liked it!

Will put something together 👌 thanks for watching

Thanks for the feedback Gerhard! That's unfortunate... but it would have been the same for me. Life's too short to be waiting 2 years for a new car 😄

3years minimum I was told today in Perth with a 1k deposit to get a spot

Dont buy green bananas hahahahahahah that cracked me up

Thanks for the kind words!

Cheers mate Happy new year!

@@JCYT happy new year to you too 😊

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!

Judging by the comments below i reckon Toyota should consider bringing this to US!

Thanks mate

Will do. Thanks! Been loving your content also.

It's worth the wait mate! Hope you get yours allocated soon. In the meantime you could start looking into gvm upgrades as I've heard some are about a year on backorder.

Thank you!

Thanks i'm glad you enjoyed it!

Hakuna Matata from Australia mate! 🤙 Thanks

No worries Peter

Hi from AUS! Yes I've heard they're popular there! Do they have the same following?

@@JCYT oh ! Yes they do but unlike in Australia they are rarely tuned and pimped to the level you guys do it ours stay plain or just get a suspension upgrade and a better bumper a canopy and spare wheels still cool though. Hoping to buy one soon from Australia 🤞🏾

Thanks for the feedback and the sub! Hope you enjoy the stay. I previously had the "style-side" tub with an ARB canopy in my hilux and i found that access and storage options were quite limited. Your main access is from the rear tail gate and with a lifted 4WD, it's quite difficult to access through the side windows unless you're 6ft+. Maybe check out the video when i picked up my 79 and i explain it a bit more there. The tray alone has 3 compartments for storage (a huge trundle and two undertray boxes). You are totally right about the access - that is my primary reason for choosing a tray and canopy setup. Come back in maybe 6 months for the video "Taking delivery of my Norweld canopy" haha!

@@JCYT Thanks matey. I am wondering how waterproof your canopy will be. So that'll be interesting for me. If it's waterproof, gives easier access and is relatively secure, then I am onboard with it. I live in the bush on the Coffs Coast, so there's much about the 79 that suits this neck of the woods. Cheers & take care - Blinky

Thank you!

Congrats mate. Absolutely love mine! Was worth the wait

Good one mate

Thank you! Will look into it. Have you had any issues with paint peeling?

@@JCYT not on the mirrors. I got mat black

Thanks mate!

Thanks mate. It could well be the only solution. I've had a few messages about this actually. That is what i was worried about, a thicker seal. Is it much harder to closer the door?

@@JCYT it's a little harder to close the door but that's because ive done all 4 doors and my 79 is super airtight, but to me it was worth it. Oh and my seals are black so I couldn't exactly do one door it would look weird. And the dust coming in was driving me nuts so it had to be done

Great video what was the link for the head unit you put in?

Thanks mate!

Thanks mate!

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it

Sending love back to Kenya!

Thank you. We are very lucky 😁

Thanks for watching! You're gonna love it It was between Lovells 4.2 or OME 3.95 for me. I did not consider TJM due to two local TJM dealerships around me closing. I have always been a fan of ARB products and their customer service. My local ARB Thornleigh were great to deal with when i had my Hilux and are very professional. If your 79 is due soon i'd suggest sorting the suspension out ASAP as the BP51s were a 7 month wait last July. All the best with it!

Maxxis offered to rebalance them at their branch on the other side of Sydney. It is really far for me to travel so i had to put it off. The balancing issue remains the same (just the rears) and the tyres look good - they are not wearing unevenly. Given i've put on 15k on them im not sure if Maxxis will still honour their offer. It is my fault for not going back.

@@JCYT if you have the time, it might be worth seeing if they can remedy the issue. You don’t ask, you don’t get. I just wonder if other tyres like the BFGoodrich would have similar issues. Anyway; I’m really happy for you, hopefully I’ll have one within a few years too 👍🏼

Thanks for the sub! As far as i know all 70th anniversaries were 2021 build only. I was offered a CHANCE at one by Castle Hill Toyota but didn't put my name down due to the 13k premium.... the dealer didn't end up getting one anyway. I don't really like the black housing headlights in the anniversary model..

Definitely will! Can't wait to explore WA.

Thanks mate. It definitely is!

Thanks appreciate it!

I'm in the Hills/Parra area. That's so exciting dude you must be keen! Well we had a 7's DAY (7th July) meet for the RX-7 guys, i'm not sure why we can't have a 79's (7th September) DAY meet for the 79 guys hahahaha Would you be interested?

@@JCYT ah nice man you’re not far from me, I’m just in Dundas! Definitely keen!

305 70 17 Maxxis RAZR MT772 ROH Hammer wheels 17x9 -12 -59 Thanks mate

Thanks!

Cheers mate! Admittedly it is expensive for what it is but no complaints here. I would rather travel in this than a 100k luxury car. I'm a mobile physiotherapist.

Thanks, looking into a double pinched seal from department of the interior. It only really bothers me on interstate drives though.

They are an amazing vehicle! Definitely an important question for us living in city areas. With the 110mm + spacer Rhino platform, OME 2" lift and 34s i can fit JUST under a 2.2m carpark. The highest part of the car is 2.15m - the solar panel which adds 35mm on top of the rack. Yes those are extremely tight and uncomfortable clearances and I have a photo of the 79 literally centimetres from the carpark ceiling. Not a good feeling but you get used to it haha. Worse case i destroy the solar panel but that's better than damaging the headboard of the tray.

As of yesterday you can't order a 79 series anymore

@@JCYT Thanks so much for the reply. I think that will fit in my garage awesome. Glad your happy with the rig. All the best. Keep up the good work with the vids.

@@ninollapi4686 Yea i did hear that, im not quite ready yet so it will be fine by the time i am ready. Not sure if its true but I am hearing that the new model will come with emergency breaking and with that will come a diff correction from Toyota. Will be interesting to see.

Thanks for watching! Just scrolling through the comments, i am surprised you guys would want one

Thanks for watching! Yes it's the VDJ79R 2022 model

do you know how much of electronic you have into this jewel ?

Awesome! Do you have an insta I could check out? Love landys and driven a few!

Hi Colin thanks for watching. There were only 2 options at the time of purchase: Hilux or 79 but it was clear with my GVM needs the 79 was the only option. I had also looked into the new dmax prior but definitely dodged a bullet with that one. I am at the moment really appreciating having the cabin and tray completely separate especially as when going away, things can get muddy real quick. LC300 was therefore never a consideration but i would love a chopped 200/300 if the budget allowed one day! Maybe if KZfaq kicks off for me haha!

Morning mate No i haven't swapped out yet. Still the offset correction wheels. My plan is the dwizz track correction next year. I carry only one spare -12 offset as it will work best as a spare all round. Yes it will technically put more stress on the rear drivetrain due to mismatched offset but as a spare it will get you out of trouble.

I can empathise with you. So many cool trucks you guys get over there that we envy here!

Unfortunately we don't any of the bigger American trucks here. We are starting to get more RAMs and silverados here. Everyone here just wants the humble cruiser haha

Thanks Belinda The only time it has scrubbed was when I sent it over a sand dune and it did scrub on the inner guard well (on the chassis). It was a pretty hard send and won't be doing it again!

@@JCYT thankyou

I really hope this be true for you guys! We are getting your Tundra this year 🙂🙂🙂

@@JCYT Yeah with that hybrid or v6 turbo engine I'm not sure if that's anything to be excited over. The V8 tundra was great. I don't trust anything with a turbo but only time will tell

It's a Joying 10.1. I did a whole separate video last month reviewing the unit and the install process. Be sure to check it out because you could win one before this Sunday 😉

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdyadNCJzNamcYk.html

Currently not for sale as Toyota catches up on production with the updated lane assist parking sensors etc. 80k when I purchased mine. As far as I know they're about 3-4k dearer with a whole bunch of tech no one wants 😱

Hey mate thanks for the message and hope you get your car soon! Different states have different laws but in NSW - i believe anything below 50mm increase in diameter is legal. I remember getting defected years ago in my old hilux due to tyre size just over the 50mm limit.

I'll have to get back to you on what's written on the placard.

@@JCYT cheers man, I’m south east queensland based and its also 50mm diameter (25mm in lift), and 50mm in suspension. so 75mm total height increase on cab. how did it go doing the offset rims?

Hey mate Bought mine straight from Ultragauge aus Model is MX1.4 www.ultragaugeaustralia.com.au/product-page/ultragauge-mx1-4-79-series-landcruiser-post-2016-with-dpf

Hey mate yes I have seen them on the Stedi website before 👍

Hi mate The colour is 4E9 Sandy Taupe

@@JCYT ta mate !

How you see it in the video cost 120k AUD

Taliban Tan is definitely the official name haha Yes i'm aware regarding the tyres. I don't believe the DPF helps either! Interesting to note in my Hilux, i gained about 3L/100 when going back to the stock wheels before i sold the vehicle. 10.4?! That's heresy.

@@JCYT I like the bigger wheels, drives heaps better on corrugated & potholed roads & climbs obstacles better & the wide tires look good, better than the pizza cutter 7.50R16 Road grippers it came out stock with. I see you've got the extra pull out drink holder on the passenger side, eBay purchase or do they come stock in the new models?

@@dustyfarmer it was an eBay special. Cheap and nasty. Wife doesn't even use it - she prefers the bottle cut-out in the map pocket. Don't need 8 cupholders 🤣

@@JCYT I bought one too. Those eBay Onestone ripoff door armrests with cup holders are pretty good. I tucked the metal lip strip under the window rubber & they are solid as.

There's a reason one hasn't come up yet. I've had issues with mine, not happy with it and i don't recommend one for most people. It's not entirely reliable in the hot australian climate

Hey mate It's the Joying 10.1. I made a separate video here. Feel free to check it out - i've included the links in the description kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdyadNCJzNamcYk.html

@@JCYT legend

Good call regarding the engineering side of things. I think i'll try a set of more aggressive pads and see how i go!

@@JCYT Try those DBA XP pads front & rear, only run matched bite sets front & back. DBA says you can mix SP/street performance & XP/Extra performance pads front or rear but I reckon XP pads all round is the go. I get great stopping power out of them over stock and can actually lock a wheel (dirt road only) & have the A.B.S kick in & they aren't too fierce on the rotor wear & get good life out of them.

Was my dream for a long time!

Hi mate Here is the link. www.joyingauto.com/newest-high-resolution-1920-1200-android-10-1-double-din-car-radio.html It is a universal 2DIN unit, so you will need three additional AERPRO harnesses to make it work - one for the antenna control, rear camera retention and 79 factory stereo harness to ISO harness. There seems to be some interest in it so i may make a quick video on it.

Awesome! Thanks heaps. your truck looks bloody awesome mate.

Hi Harry Correct it's a 2 inch lift but seems to measure about 2.5 ;)

@@JCYT yeah sorry mate , I saw at the end of the video you explained how it was 2inch so my apologies, give me a shout if your ever down Tuross head way 👍🏼

Hey mate The bare chassis and cab was 80k when i ordered early 2021. Then add tray, suspension and a few mods etc. it kind of adds up and i don't want to keep track haha

@@deklerkvanniekerk3092 review coming for this unit next week 🤫

Yes mate 2 inch

Hahaha i'm sure some other SIK 79 has those plates already

Not just jeep but chevy, dodge, ford will go down to toilet if this was available in the US

Is this due to the need for more compact utes in the USA? Or just the need for a more simple platform?

Jeep is for people who drive in city and soccer moms who never go off-road. LC79 wont sell much in USA as it is a hard core off-roader.

@@JCYT heaps of thanks!

Haha yes. I'm not sure if i'm keeping the plate but it's growing on me

Thanks mate. I have heard the same feedback.

I've heard this a lot! It goes both ways with the rigs you get haha

Not planning to at the moment. I don't tend to add catch can on general purpose, stock untuned vehicles. I do agree they do serve a good purpose but unless it's tuned or hard at work, there are some benefits of leaving it as is. I haven't outlined my reasons in the video. Maybe a future video?

Wow that’s an extensive response for a 2 word comment. I have seen a few videos saying there are different pros and cons for a catch can. I personally had a catch can the second I park the car at home and worked fantastic. I also had a Norweld system at the back, I’ve got a full time canopy. I want to get those tail lights at the 4x4 show, looking absolutely amazing! I’m in Sydney too so I can confirm Jono is a cool guy!

Come to Australia they're everywhere! You guys get some pretty cool trucks there...

Yeah aussie and nz have them. Sexiest doggs on the road

Toyota can't supply Australia demand on production on the V8 turbo diesel LC70 & Australia is the only country to receive this 1VD-FTV engine type in the Landcruiser 70 range. It's a four year wait time now with no further orders being taken so potential buyers U.S.A have no hope and as for $35K U.S.D.... As they say in Australia.........You're dreaming.

@@dustyfarmer not dreaming at all..... Toyota can keep the production in Mexico to reduce cost.... $35k to $40k is possible.....Toyota just need to reduce production in Australia since the country has a very small car market......In fact, the car market in Australia is smaller than that of CALIFORNIA'S, which makes Australia NOT a very significant market..... the Australian car market is very small and comparable to markets of 3rd world developing countries. It is so small and unprofitable that many car manufacturers have abandoned the country..... Toyota needs to cease production in Australia and channel its resource to Latin America..... offloading is a new outdoor recreation for so many Americans....and so this simple Toyota Landcruiser 79 series or all 70 series will be a big hit here in the USA market where the market is huge and profitability is very high compared to a miniscule market like that off Australia......it's ok to dream because sometimes dreams do come true..... We dreamed about the return of the Ford Bronco, and now it is here....same thing for the Range Rover Discovery, Toyota Supra, etc...... Businesses go where the money is, and here in CALIFORNIA, there's plenty to be made, and so is the rest of the USA.......until then, it's ok to dream....

@@Aikynbreusov Australian's buy more Toyota Landcruisers than other place in the world, have been for decades, it's Toyota's biggest market for that marque, so there's that. Toyota manufactures Landcruisers in Japan, no-where else, so there's that. I'm sure if Toyota thought there was a market in the U.S.A for a V8 turbo diesel Landcruiser they would service that market, there isn't, so there's that. California with it's C.A.R.B laws, smog testing & strict emissions standards would ban the Landcruiser, especially a V8 tubo diesel like We get in Australia, & one like mine with a straight through 3" stainless exhaust & other secret "mods" so there's that. No-one wants a Mexican built Landcruiser, so there's that. Keep on dreaming.

@@dustyfarmer true Toyota Landcruiser is only manufactured in Japan, but that can change just like Lexus did.... Lexus was only manufactured in Japan, but now some of its models are manufactured in Canada..... same thing with the Toyota Tacoma truck, a cousin of the Hilux, was only manufactured only in Japan, but now it's manufactured in MEXICO...... so the Toyota Landcruiser 70 series, 79 series etc can be manufactured in the Mexican factory.....

@@dustyfarmer it's not true that Australia buys more Toyota Landcruiser than any other country....you forgot Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc..... overall, CALIFORNIA still buys more Toyota than Australia does

Thanks for watching. I respect your views and I genuinely believe Toyota have done a great job. The way i see it - you spec up ANY australian utility to perform in harsh conditions the cost will be close to the same. But there simply is no rival to the longevity and reliability of the 70 series platform. The cheapest axle replacement i find acceptable to my standard is the DWIZ diff which is probably closer to 10k fitted (axle replacement). To me, that's 10k i don't need to spend and whilst i agree the offset wheels will cause greater stress on the bearings, i'm ok with servicing these bearings earlier than compared to the bearings in an axle replacement. Cheap, and easy to do. The offset correction via wheel offsets for me is purely aesthetic. I don't spend much time in sand. That said i know and have felt the benefit to offset correction especially in sand driving. We were at Moreton Island earlier this year. The 79 went extremely well loaded right up. The sand can get incredibly soft there and i can only imagine what it would have been like for both wheels to create their own tracks given they do not track the same width. Sorry that's as far as i can say regarding this - i haven't driven a stock 79 without offset correction.

@@JCYT thanks for the reply and I agree with doing the wheel offset compared to installing a whole corrected rear axle assembly, the cost is way silly. Others have done the offset route and never had bearing problems, maybe just a furphy to get customers to buy a new rear axle. This is my main gripe with Toyota, in the manufacturing process it wouldn't cost them much at all to correct it then. Also agree, 70 series is very unique and when they are fully modified are a great touring/off road vehicle, but just way out off my price range. The other item I wish Toyota would do, is give there customers an option of a auto transmission and a coil suspension, but I think that's asking for to much.

Any 79 is a steal at ANY price. What r u talking about mate its a scam? Yeh mate it sucks to be poor. 🙄

@@d0min0danc1ng OMG, what a stupid thing say, could buy one if I wanted to, but that's not the point. Do you really think these cars are good value for money, NO. You need to upgrade so many parts after you need to pay $84k or a lot more for this car in cab chassis form and you think this is good, Did you actually read what I said, "But everyone to there own I guess, it doesn't matter what I think, you love it and that's all that matters".

Problem is this setup isn’t legal, in nsw you can only increase wheel track by 50mm total (25mm per wheel) gives insurance companies a way out in the event of an accident

Hahahahahaha best comment

hahahaha yes!

Haha.. i'm sure it will. Any tips to keep some of it out?
