79 series

Toyota's 70 series single and double cab landcruisers, over priced, under powered V8 and an interior that's stuck in the 1980's.
A blank canvas to throw 50k plus at if you want a half decent 4wd.

There goes Timmy in he's game changing instagram build of a 79 series thinking about poor life choices again.

79 series landcruiser

An over priced, under powered Toyota ute. Has V8 turbo diesel engine which sounds tough but most 4 cylinder turbo deisel engine utes on the market are much quicker and more capable offroad.

Most owners need a loan to fix it when there are engine problems.

An owner needs to spend at least an extra $50k on it to make it a capable offroad vehicle.

Also known as a Mahindra

When it comes to beach work they need a Mitsubishi Triton in pursuit to pull it out.

"I own a 79 series landcruiser, well the bank does. Balloon payment? What's that!!! Hopefully dad will pay it for me."

"I wish I had a cruiser with a 1HD-FTE not this 1VD-FTV junk."

Owner: " what! I need to replace injectors. How much is that gonna cost me?"

Mechanic: "best part of $10k"

79 Series

Much better than a Patrol. Is usually always working and fixing the ute. Nothing is ever in place or sounding mechanically okay.

Never wins the drag races at the traffic lights.

But still will always be better than a Patrol.
