Super chill video, love it

Todd, as a regular watcher over the last 6 months let me assure you that you haven't failed at KZfaq. I enjoy your channel and if you bring joy or entertainment to others, that is noble not a failure. Sorry it hasn't been a success, but you never chased the $$ , sponsorships etc that others do. Not being for sale is alright. Good luck with expanded family.

Seems you let your tyres down a little? I like that, not many do for less intense tracks.

Any hints? . . . . Rhymes with flipflop?

Is that the t/c at work, or did ya chuck it on "crawl control"....thoes wet tree roots can be slippy as!

Thanks for the video effort. ??? Shouldn't there have been a circlip on the 200 oilfilter? Also can you update the 200 plastic oilfilter cover with the 79' alloy cover on V8? Thanks

Hey Todd, where did you get those LCA?. Cheers mate.

Just came across your channel subbed and notification is on You will get throught it mate positive thoughts u and your family got this 💪👍🤙

Very helpful vid mate also will be checking other parts that you mentioned as well legend.

Have you done the transmission flush? I cant find the filler plug: 2004 prado petrol in perth

Has anybody had injector problem with the 2018 2019 models? Just had replaced at 142km lucky covered under warranty

thank you❤ Do I need to change Qazat? 17376A LC200

you are the one explaining clearly

Just backed into a fcuking pole at the local shopping centre so have just ordered one of these.

yea mate you forgot to grease the drive shaft unis

Thanks for the review I picked one up from Nz and it’s crap . I think it’s a shitty aftermarket led . It’s less than half the brightness of an original halogen . I hate it . I’m going to sus out one you recommend

Safety first? No. Your front arm was not straight and locked…. To prevent kickback into your throat.

what a dreadful engine

For 100 series owners stay with best of best.

RACQ car insurance (another car club) TV ad states 99% claims paid. Seems to contradict RAC Get Out of Jail clause

take your time ,the KZfaq community is there for you.

I just came across your channel, keep going . it will get better Im sure you will succeed

Good info mate! That's good to know the alternator fix is a relatively easy DIY job, though time consuming of course. Still a big $$ saver if you can do it yourself. Thinking out loud, it would be cool if you could work out a way to seal the bush housing over that shaft to stop crap getting in there. Food for thought! Cheers :)

Great video. Always done most of this myself because experience tells me that dealers just can't be trusted.

Couldn’t you leave the fuel filter housing in place, removing the filter and replace then removing on If there’s too much gunk in then clean properly

I own a 2019 vx it was a ex private security I paid 106.500 for it got it at 80.000km I now have it at 114.000km and love every minute of it car and it’s been my dream car but some times espicaly servicing and when it comes to rego it Is pricey but u can’t put a price on on something that makes mile every time u hit the start button mine is stock apart from a 3inch dpf back exhaust and I a evc I drive in it drives awsome

Excellent content mate. Appreciate you putting in the time and effort. Disappointed this doesn’t have more views given your credibility

YT.....5 gazillion channels and nothing on

I love .ine it's the best 4x4 iv ever had, I don't think twice about about the price to keep it running loved your vid I can relate to it Cheers

that beach looks heaps boggy

How did you choose which 200 to buy ?

Putting any future and reliance on youtube is a bad mistake.

The fact you hit post on the video shows that you haven’t failed, the growth of the channel is not something you can control directly, try and get back to the roots of why you started the channel and most importantly have fun doing it, as far as the parenting side of your struggles, it’s tough for a bloke when they’re so little, but as they get older and you can do more with them it gets easier, you’ll still have the “bad” days but over all it’s better, hope your mindset is doing better a week on

I have one, I adore it but I'm very strict on weight because of the fuel economy. I'm getting 10.3 to 12 per 100 with a clamshell and stock body. Best highway car.

Nothing is a failure. Fail your way to Success. Edit : btw, there is no spiritual growth without suffering.

Mate you have to aim high and have a goal to reach. Where you are right now is just part of the journey! I’ve made over 400 videos over the last 5 years. I’ve removed most of them. You tube is a creative outlet. Tis a journey mate. Thanks for sharing.

Not a clear, cogent exposition.

Hey Todd! I know what you are going through. I have two little sons alswell and the second one changed everything. It's been really hard for my girlfriend, my older son and for me with this little baby joining our family. We all had to stop doing the things we loved to do. It's been exhausting for all of us. No offroading, no DIY carwork, no vacation.. But I can tell you one thing from my point of view when our second son is getting older now: There will be better times to come. And you will enjoin doing your stoff with both of them on your side. It will bee different but it will be better! Please give all your love to your family. I'm sure you will get all your love back from your sons! Sorry for my bad english. I love your 120 Prado videos. I watched them as tutorials for me and my 120 Prado which I bought when our first son came to life!

Great video mate! Your 200 looks the total business!

Sucks mate, and here's my opinion. In your all time most popular videos, from the 50 or so most viewed videos virtually all of them are about the 120 series, and the few popular ones not about the 120 are things like "My 200 series caught fire" and "five thing i hate about my 200". And that sums me up also, you seem like a great bloke but when you changed the channel name and ditched the 120 for a 200 you went from being a big fish in a small pond to being a small fish in a huge pond. You were carving out a great niche what that 120, i really wish you kept it and done cool things with it that would stamp your place on the map.

Sounds like a disaster is waiting to happen after 5 years of use under the heat summer :( really disappointed with current govs regulations and Diesel engines itself are way cleaner than any EVs on market

One of the most heartfelt moments I’ve ever watched on the tube… having gone through two kids one which was very difficult and in the end we had to accept the reality that our child has a life altering disability felt like life would never get better. I’m here to tell you Todd, life does get better. Support each other and look after each other first and your kids will reap the benefits. If you still enjoy creating then keep doing it, even small projects on that cruiser, after all that’s why I started following you…. Keep being real wear you heart on your sleeve, roll those sleeves up mate and dig in. You got this brother 🤛🏼

G'day Todd, a great video raising many relevant points of running a business whilst juggling the demands of a young family. Firstly, don't sweat the KZfaq side of things. If it makes you happy, then keep doing it, but maybe find some other people eg. university/TAFE media students to do the stuff (like editing) you'd rather not do. Putting it aside for a while is also a good option to free up time to spend on yourself and your family. Importantly, the 'struggling father' discussion is one that many men should have, but don't. Best way to get through those tough times is with friends and family. As a father of three (all now adults in their own right), I speak from similar experience, and especially with the colicky child. Looking forward, I think the family-oriented series of Offroad Crusader is a natural progression (I watched the Leyland Brothers show on television when I was a kid) worth considering. Until the next video, look after yourself and take care.

Gary form Nerdrotic was a nothing much uploader for eight years before "making it" so one has to ask what makes you think you failed as a youtuber? it's a super demanding platform to be on if you're not uploading near daily. it takes time, lots and lots of it unless you just trip over the lucky magic sause.

Love you mate. Chin up, you’ve given me good times and that I can thank you for. Thank you Todd.

Made it look easy, I don’t see many cars with OME suspension so it’s good to see you replaced them and didn’t go for another brand, cheers

Hey Todd, first vid of yours to land in my feed. Youtubing can be a lonely game at times and yes the reward vs effort isn't there for some time for most of us. Generally, it's a time based thing as well for most of us, unless as you mentioned we happen to hit a particular niche that resonates with a demographic that spends a lot of time online. Glad you're keeping at it, measure your success against yourself, not others. If you're growing and getting views, keep doing it and look for the 1%. LIke you I've managed to connect with other youtubers, some of which have been extremely helpful in providing suggestions and feedback. Finally sounds like you've had a tough year mate and in some ways I can relate. Hats off to you and others who have the courage to make these kinds of videos. I agree there's a benefit for everyone knowing they're not alone. take care mate.

Mate, as an ex veteran who deployed when our second daughter was 10 months, and a toddler, all struggles are real. As a team, ur wife and kids will work through it. As a team is the key. Now that 2nd daughter is 18, and there's 5 of us. One never fails, their just little life hiccups. As a father and a husband, your family unit is everything. We've had mates choose to bang out, what's left behind is devastating. Best thing is to chat, and that's an awesome place to do it with that view, and a brew. So chin up you no longer a Prado driver 😂, your a 200 series driver hahaha.

Hey Todd, I didn’t even need to watch the full video to know you’re not a failure. Sounds like you’ve had a real dud time recently. Take some pressure off yourself if you can, gather thoughts, and look forward to when the motivation will inevitably return! It takes people literally years to grow their channel to a point where it provides meaningful passive income. I watched a video just the other day about MrBeast explaining that your first 100 videos will be shit, but it’s important that you learn one thing with every video, constantly improve and be persistent. I know of other big 4WD channels who didn’t become big for 3-5 years. Look through the video history of some of the big channels we know, their earliest posts are from between 5-7 years ago! I know you’ve been posting for roughly a similar amount of time, but don’t think I’m wrong to say you may not have been as structured/focused on growing the channel until recently? I think you’re doing a great job. I went away for Christmas and wasn’t on KZfaq much for the first 4 months of the year. I looked up your channel out of interest, as I’ve been enjoying watching it grow, and saw that you’d gone from something like 2k subs near the end of last year, to 8.Xk now. So good! That’s a 120% increase. I noticed your video quality and posting frequency had gone up, and you had a couple new popular videos. Including that Hilux review that could be a niche worth exploring. Aim for 10k subs, it’s a great milestone and one I know you can hit soon. Good luck and I wish you strength.

Total respect - followed your brilliant videos from the 120 days - keep goin mate
