I’m constantly impressed with your video editing and the time you take to share your stories.
Put aside the 4wd content of which I love, I appreciate and understand the time it takes to create what you give us.
It is one of my pleasantries of life, sitting down with a coffee on a Sunday morning and tuning in.
Thankyou.

The vent under the steering column was even in early 80's Toyota cars in the US. Delco, then a division of GM, was apparently working with NASA to provide cooling for astronauts in the 60's. The research showed that directing heated or cooled fluids to the crotch and the armpits was the most effective way to cool the blood and the body core. GM started putting the crotch vents in their cars, in the '60's, as a result of this.

Thankyou for all your time and effort in this series mate

All those sceptics about the 2.8 can soak this video up and understand Toyota doesn’t often miss when it comes to their brands. Good to hear it’s proving everyone wrong

[TshegofatsoMothiba-df]

Mate, I reckon your rig's an absolute ripper; she's a bloody beauty!

Another great unbiased video on 2.8, check at 4:28, what’s cavnas? Waiting for next Ineos video as I’m deciding on my retirement ovetlander.

I can remember in the 80s the turbo diesel automatic Mercedes G wagons was the preferred machine for driving across dessert because of the combination of auto keeping the engine on boost and always in the powerband.

I do like the 76, watching this made me thing, my 80 series does have electric mirrors, balls cooler, no hubs to lock or unlock, comfortable, not noise at all or rattles. Just maybe the 80 is one to keep as I always think on "upgrading". Nice honest review, thank you!

[billsingh]

I like it when you said “hey a quieter drive is nicer” I think the same way mate

[tonycook]

Now that's a car review! Nice work. Not what I thought the outcome would be, but you cannot argue with those facts.

[andrewbagnato]

I just hit 15000km in my 76
2.8. Couldn't be happier with it.

[jamesmazurstudios]

My 1991 LJ77 (the pre-prado/76) also had that little vent under the steering column. I called it "ball A/C".

Rig is looking great. Seems like an awesome vehicle, mint review 👌

[joelpeter]

Great job Ronny
I been enjoying the comparisons and the 2.8 70 series journey. Looking forward to more.

[mattmcewan]

Ronny, you started sounding like an old man when you said you like the quiet when driving the 2.8lt over the V8 😂😂😂

Good to see an honest review, I know you can build a more comfortable / capable vehicle for your $85, 000 including customisations, whereas this one starts at $85, 000 bare bones, and it still has the inherent problems from 40 years ago, each to their own.

[bretto]

Good to see mate... you have covered a lot that no-one else has. 👍👍👍👍👍

[Gerkhin]

Thanks. Just ordered the 78. Love the bull bar and want the same.

[chrisfanchier]

The thing you.mentioned with the maintenance Yeah, that isn't something new. If anything it's what we like to call Severe Service and just about everyone meets those conditions due to driving in extreme weather conditions, driving short distances, driving in dusty environments(Arizona for example) or driving Off Road. I wouldn't call it much of a Hack.

That all said I will certainly agree with doing maintenance to keep a vehicle going down the road safely and reliably.

Awesome video. Curious to know how hot these new 4 Cylinder 70's run. Obviously to get the kind of power push there has to be some compromises and one of those is stress. Any heat soak issues? Cheers
