Video length is just right.

Any chance you could possibly contact him and let him know that his channel is missed by a lot of people?
Maybe he could sign up here or you could relay a message as to what happened to their...

Are you sure the FJ is supposed to shift into 5th in LR?
I'm asking because mine doesn't do it either. I bought it 2nd hand, so I don't know whether it did when new. I thought it logical, that the...

Google "silicon shortage" or "semiconductor shortage".
It's a worldwide shortage of semiconductors affecting everything electronic like cell phones, laptops, desktop CPUs and vehicle manufacturing....

Bladders can be folded up once empty, plastic or steel tanks / cans can't.
However, at the beginning of a trip they have to fit into or onto the vehicle while full, so space must be allocated to the...

Seeing that Stop-Start systems have been around for more than 40 years it's safe to say that companies like VW, Fiat and Toyota, who pioneered these systems, would have done some research.

A diesel engine can't be "primed" as described above.

Question is what power and torque output that engine will have in the LC300.

I got a different make trailer. Same situation as yours, west coast, very corrosive air and salt roads. Chassis is mild steel, powder coated. It does rust easily. I believe that if you take that...

Maybe the OP is looking for a vehicle that doesn't come with a dash board rattle standard?
Have you seen and driven the more recent GWM products? Or does the fact that your BIL owns a Gonow make you...

After you first subtract the VAT in the country of origin.

Problem is that these days the dealer's support is an important part of the product, at least when buying new.
If one was able to buy the vehicle itself without warranty and service or maintenance...

I enjoy your videos, thank you. Do you mind sharing what camera you have used?
You don't carry any petrol on the roof, did you take along any extra or is the LR tank in the FJ large enough, giving...

The Nissan NP300 is a lot more old school than the current Hilux. Minimal safety features, no electronic driving aids apart from ABS. The cabin feels smaller. The Hilux got a stronger engine. The...

Makes the V8 look frugal... ;D

A bit? 4 Rand cheaper. I paid something like 17.32 for 95 petrol in Johannesburg yesterday.

Look for Roadcruza RA1100. An AT tyre with a tread pattern similar to that of the BFG.
Much softer rubber compound and 2ply sidewall, therefore a very comfortable ride.
Got them on my FJ and am...

It's a Ford. You never know.

That would make me walk far away from that Ford.
Look for another one, there should be plenty available on the market.

Personally I would go with Isuzu rather than Ford.

Your trailer rides on 2 wheels only, not on 4, like your tow vehicle. Loads on a packed camping trailer's wheels are likely to be the same, if not higher than on an average SUV.
Mid size trailer...

Spare parts, like filters, belts, etc which are sold by Toyota as OEM are made by manufacturers, who would sell the same product under their own name. We all know that.

Many years ago, while...

Where does the"sealed for life" automatic transmission rumour come from?
The FJ service schedule in the owner's manual says it must be inspected and changed, if necessary, every 40,000 km.
Since...

In the regulation it doesn't seem to exclude children below a certain age from the requirements of taking a test.
However, as from beginning of April, Namibia does accept the cheaper anti gene test...

Are there other RTTs that can accommodate 2 adults and 1 or 2 small children?
Are there other RTTs for 2 which fold up small enough to allow for other items to be packed on the roof rack?

I had ST Maxx 265/70R17. I never found the ride really comfortable, on any terrain and at any pressure. They either gave a harsh ride or felt wobbly at low pressures.
Road noise was very much...

As to older vehicles vs newer ones:
As mentioned before, those older Patrols and Cruisers were designed "by hand" and to last. The priority was longevity and in many areas those kind of 4x4s are...

I would have a look at this 80 series. Even though the year model is wrong, this ticks all the boxes if the mileage is correct.

Wrong country...

The post you are referring to is a reply to Hooly's question, not the OP. He mentioned a budget of 550k, a lot higher than Ryno's.

To me it looks like Ryno's questions have for now been answered,...

Isn't it about the ability of modern day bakkies to do hard work? To be used as farm, mining and construction vehicles rather than blocking wheelchair parking at the mall?
Nobody disputes that...

Owning an FJ with the same engine & gearbox as the Prado 150 V6 and owning a 37 year old Landcruiser, I wouldn't shy away from buying a Prado with that kind of mileage. It has often been recommended...

Probably if you would use a smart charger, it wouldn't be able to diagnose the two batteries individually and programs like de-sulfatation wouldn't work.
But it should charge the batteries fine.

Wouldn't there be the normal supply of 2nd hand 5-15 year old Cruisers and Patrols on the market?
To me it looks like they have become scarce and hence the prices have gone up, first for LCs and...

I am not arguing that point at all and I fully agree with you. A Sorento or Everest won't do what a heavy duty Cruiser or Patrol will do, at least not longevity wise. There is a good reason why I...

Yes, all of a sudden people are buying theses heavy duty 4x4s like crazy. Maybe they know something we don't know?
