My one wish in life would be to send my 105 to these guys to sort out all the little niggles that most mechanics/ builders ignore. Love how thorough they are.

Look on Joubert’s face is characteristic of every mechanic, except a mechanic on KZread. Look forward to a very exciting series.

It's great to hear seasoned experts critique your Troopy and how they diagnose the vehicle. Especially since despite the drivetrain working, they still plan to open the axles and visually inspect the diffs.

drivetrain working does not mean that is perfect condition, at this milleage, check everything, i don't see it like as bad thing...

Alternative jobs Paul could do: 1. audio book reader 2. air traffic control 3. instructor 4. hostage negotiator 5. POW interrogator. 6. Bad news doctor - as in "You have cancer but it's not all bad news. You still have 3 days to live."

I absolutely love watching these series where you build a truck. It’s a great way to learn, as a novice like myself. I’m in the very beginning stages of building a tourer for North America.

Loooking forward to seeing what these two can do we the truck

There’s nothing I enjoy more than those two working on Toyotas They need there own channel

Would you add turbo on ?

@4xoverland

Жыл бұрын

No. A low pressure turbo can work with a 1HZ as long as one closely monitors the EGTs. These engines are not well suited to adding a turbo. It usually damages them.

500000km's is no big deal i have Mitsubishi Delica petrol v6 with 648000km's same engine same gearbox (auto) starter motor same alternator and it's used hard moral is regular maintenance .

How the heck does anyone wear out a clutch after only 30,000km?!?

@wendyandgeoffpattison2610

Жыл бұрын

It usually happens because the driver rests his left foot on the clutch pedal when just driving along in top gear, thereby causing the clutch to slip almost imperceptibly. It can ruin a clutch in a matter of hours.

I've driven vehicles over 300 000 km and sold them, still running the factory clutch. And most of it was city driving with constant stop/starts. ☺

Only time ya foot touches a clutch pedal is to change gears and press to floor , lazy people rest their foot on pedal at lights and clutch is slightly engaging slowly wareing out

Wonder who the "little jerk" is they keep referring to?🤨

It's like flogging a dead horse. You will throw good money at it but there is no way you can cover everything. Taking the old clunker out to remote country with that nagging thought am I going to break down. That's not fun when you are in a fairly inhospitable country.

Lordt…it’s a Land Cruiser. I have 283,000 + MILES (455,444 KM) on my 80 Series and wouldn’t think twice about driving it around the globe. Granted, I’ve replaced the power steering pump, valve cover gasket, cylinder sheaths, all the hoses, radiator, the entire AC system, new starter, alternator, water pump, new suspension, new brakes (and new calipers at the back), and a new rear main seal, but I know now exactly where she stands and she is bulletproof.

I recently purchased an FJ Cruiser with 406,000 kms. It just needed a new serpentine belt, rollers and tensioner and all fluids change. Runs perfectly and I trust it enough compared to 2 defender and 2 discoverys I've owned in the past. This Troopy is not bad at all and can be trusted after a bit of TLC. I mean it just did a 1600 km trip😮
