Amazing spectacular river crossing by car. It's Toyota Land Cruiser 80 in very deep water. The driver has nerves of steel :) very good 4x4 off road driver
Makes me feel embarrased for the amount of new, snorkell'ed Land rover Defender owners that do nothing more than crawl over speed bumps in Londons one way streets
@@dannelleabajar4703 lived in London for 13 years of my life. not a single flooded road over maybe 7 inches once every few years. your 9 foot snorkel looks retarded.
If you guys weren't so far away from everything I know and love, I swear to God I would come to Australia and beg to become a citizen. You guys have more fun than anyone on the planet.
incredible .....i dont think anyone can ever top that ....for a moment the vehicle lost contact with the ground ...great driving man ...gave you a perfect 10 out of 10 ....Nam Jamaica
I own a 79 International scout and a 95 fzj80. Can't vouch that they can both do this but sure wouldn't be suprised. Especially with the heavy original motor out of the scout, even as much as I love it. Both are tanks and have been unstoppable off road.
I've heard it said that the Australian four-wheel drive people over there are the craziest officially after watching this video I concur completely LOL great video guys
We did something similar in Iceland in a Toyota. The water was up to almost the windows it was freaky. What was even crazier was that someone was trying to cross the same body of water on a motorcycle!
it actually floated away like a boat because the spinning of the tyres in the water was creating and effect like a boats propellers and creating motion because of water being displaced by spinning tyres. so eventually it drifted on the less deeper area where tyres touched the ground. amazing and lucky I say. if he had stopped the throttle and didn't let the tyres spin he wouldn't have reached the shore
That was awesome other then all that water inside but at least it made it, it made it look easy actually its incredible what vehicles can do when built properly for those particular conditions etc!
mix of good luck and good management , personally i would have turned around , and found another way round , but good on you mate , youll have a few credits and campfire tales : >>
Awesome took on a deeper then "normal" river and there vehicle floated before they got across. The driver then waited for it to sink a bit to get the traction needed to get back on the track and to the other side....Fantastic job that took nerves and knowledge to pull off!!
LMAO...That creek crossing is up around Mt Walker in Lithgow NSW. I have avoided it many times after rain for that exact reason!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the video. GO THE MIGHTY 80!!!
+Scotty MSU It didn't float, the front wheels were always in contact with the river bed due to a big iron weight at the front called a 1HZ. The back of the LC was up in the air due to a pocket of air trapped inside the vehicle. Land Cruisers have good door seals which helped, but if you notice the rear barn doors are above the water line so the cargo area remained full of air.
+Harvey Smith How do all the electrics and things go after a crossing like this? I've always wondered. I guess the snorkel connection must have a damn good seal on it! Does water get in past the firewall and mess things up?
The electrics get wet! Sometimes you will see lights, indicators windscreen wipers all acting erratically by themselves. Hopefully the sensitive components are high up in the dash somewhere so they don't get effected. There may be an odd fuse blown on the normal components, but generally they will dry out and work again fine. Your right about the snorkel. This is far more serious if it goes wrong. If you suck water into the engine you can end up bending con rods. Which is a complete engine re-build.
My Landcruiser (the same) has been through a river this deep but not as wide and mine sunk and maintained traction. Perhaps both fuel tanks were very low giving 130lts of floatation and no cargo?? None the less, great driving to get it out.
Awesome video. you have to watch the whole thing cause it turns out different than you'd first expect. Toyota rocks! Check out their secrets here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/0071392319?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creativeASIN=0071392319&linkCode=xm2&tag=wwwf097b-20

Looool
LOL
Mate, you need to come and visit us!
Bullshit, they have floods in there.
@@dannelleabajar4703 lived in London for 13 years of my life. not a single flooded road over maybe 7 inches once every few years. your 9 foot snorkel looks retarded.
Now that was deep!! Wonder if anyone else crossed the river after that...
higher than usual, usually a lot lower than this as ive crossed it with a pretty standard prado lol
If you guys weren't so far away from everything I know and love, I swear to God I would come to Australia and beg to become a citizen. You guys have more fun than anyone on the planet.
Yep. We do!
As long as you aren't from the US, more than welcome.
@@chippyjohn1 I’m pretty sure he’s from the US
@@chippyjohn1 the US is British conquered exactly like Australia was
@@aldente9310 Difference is the Sociopaths went to the USA, hence the United Sociopaths of America. Australia just got petty thieves.
Couldn't believe he survived that! Crossing the river like a boss. 👏
I saw that car for sale , owner says . " great boat , can tow 2 skiers "
Omg comment of the year.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Hahhahhahaha
I guess Land Cruisers are also River Cruisers.
incredible .....i dont think anyone can ever top that ....for a moment the vehicle lost contact with the ground ...great driving man ...gave you a perfect 10 out of 10 ....Nam Jamaica
Fi real mi bredda
There is a reason the Landcruiser is king of the bush.
THEY ARNT LANDROVER PERENTIE IS
AWESOME!!! Salute to the driver skills and his Toyota...
My favorite part was when he threw it in reverse and went with the current after drifting off course. Right full rudder!!!!!!!!
Was he still reving while changing gears?
I don’t think he reversed at any point
@@MrScrimbo1 he was reversing from 00.46 to 1.06
That was probably the wires shorting out.
Well done toyota.... 10 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
He should be ashamed, he clearly did not have nearly enough beer in the back of that truck. More beer equals less floating.
"Toyota told me I could be anything. So I became a truck. And a car. And an SUV. And a boat..."
this hapend only with Toyota...respect
My dad used to do this in his international Scout with a Fuel injected Chevy 350
I own a 79 International scout and a 95 fzj80. Can't vouch that they can both do this but sure wouldn't be suprised. Especially with the heavy original motor out of the scout, even as much as I love it. Both are tanks and have been unstoppable off road.
A
Ive done this in my 2005 limited JGC. good job on snorkle..looks like its done right..sealed electrics..diff is sealed nice.
pfft yea man snorkels are totally unique to Toyotas... my beat up piece of shit Chevy must be using sorcery when submerged lol...
80 series Land Cruiser best 4x4 of all time
that makes it a River Cruiser :D
I have a River Cruiser too! But it is 2nd hand
Bloody amazing! A good example of the old saying "Never Give Up" and well done to the driver!
That driver's courage and precence of mind wins some sort of prize.
bought it on car sales - sold it on boat sales
Thanks great video only Toyota can go anywhere
Legendary vehicle. Legend driver. Unbelievable.
I've heard it said that the Australian four-wheel drive people over there are the craziest officially after watching this video I concur completely LOL great video guys
Just six letters, TOYOTA

The BEST water crossing I have seen!!!
superb driving + fantastic engine optimisation + very good car body to take the load = Great Luck and Great Job done
these TOYOTAS are unstoppable , this is why i LOVE toyotas , they have everything for everyone ,
i don't like toyota except land cruiser...
I used to not like toyotas, I can no longer deny toyota, I've tried to destroy a few of them and it is not an easy task.
must remember not to buy that crusier but well done none the less
no problem, its, fresch water, not salt, and al the plugs are waterproof, also inside the car., just the radio not :-)
other 4 x 4 will take you there ,Toyota landcruiser, will bring you back ! cracking vid, we must mention a awesome 4 x4 guy too!!
this was very satisfying to watch and I'm not even a off roader or own a truck for that matter. Brilliant job
That certainly was impressive. I really wish that we could get diesel powered toyotas here in the states.
This is why the Toyota Land Cruiser is the Ultimate SUV, also known as the king 👑 of SUVs 🚙.
It’s not an SUV it’s a Truck, car and a boat
This guy is str8 nuts!!! Balls of Steel don't even compliment this man's driving ability.
Got one of this toyota. And proud to have it.. :-))
I WAS HOLDING MY BREATHE THE WHOLE TIME LMAO. HE MADE IT!
That was very close to becoming a "hold my drink and watch this" moment hahaha
Lets put an advertizement up for Japan and the ol TOYOTA. Oh WHAT A FEELING. 😂🤣😂🤣😱
better luck than judgement and bloody brilliant driving.
it´s not a car, it´s a boat.
it´s not a driver, it´s a captain!
Like a BOSS!!
Handled it like a badass. I want to know if any of the other rigs tried to cross after him.
ضم سمتش حسو سننس مس مشكتشوكس شك شكةس نةضح
Fucken oath mate!
Nah he just got fuckin lucky
That's Toyota trucks 4x4 for you , they're badass
LAND CRUISER JAPAN MADE IS EXCELLENT 4X4 IN THE WORLD
Unbelievable...
Now, This is a CAR !!!
no, it's a boat
***** Mate, an 80 series is around $15,000
wasabus2 is probably Australian
mate, chiz.
***** bullshit, you watch xxxpon on youtube using your toy so let them using their toy or through you device for homless
Thats my landcruiser. Good boy.
We did something similar in Iceland in a Toyota. The water was up to almost the windows it was freaky. What was even crazier was that someone was trying to cross the same body of water on a motorcycle!
Icelanders are nuts. Have you seen the film of them driving snowmobiles across water? Liquid water...
No1sonuk lol lots of people do that
+Eric van Bezooijen Have you got a video...no? Then it didn't happen...
+Eric van Bezooijen Have you got a video...no? Then it didn't happen...
Mr Bond is somewhere in Australia inside his Toyota Land Cruiser.
Dang lol thats why I own a toyota!!
this guys is 2015 best video of the year
I think thats an every day commute for a normal landcruiser.
Im just surprised Australias nanny state hasnt cracked down on off roading. After all this guy could of injured himself or worse yet the environment!
Tony Chris It's funny because in my state we can buy crossbows, bows and spear-guns but we have to have a firearms licence to buy a paintball gun!
+jason gardner 2 things 1. you're* and 2. i believe/ hope he was sarcastic
+bannablitz247 Ya at the end I was, but Australias nanny state will catch up with Englands where offroading your vehicle is illegal.
it actually floated away like a boat because the spinning of the tyres in the water was creating and effect like a boats propellers and creating motion because of water being displaced by spinning tyres. so eventually it drifted on the less deeper area where tyres touched the ground. amazing and lucky I say. if he had stopped the throttle and didn't let the tyres spin he wouldn't have reached the shore
amazing once the exhaust was under water I always heard you were done great job great video Bravo !
We gotta love a safari snorkel?
later that day it got stuck in a pothole and rolled over.
Thats unreal. Nick job keeping it together. Thumbsup
That was awesome other then all that water inside but at least it made it, it made it look easy actually its incredible what vehicles can do when built properly for those particular conditions etc!
ha, good vid. i remember the old man doing similar in a old nissan patrol, the headlights had about 3cm of water stuck in them for years.
Looks fun!!! We love this kind of recreation here in Ohio!! I enjoyed the video, thanks
What a badass! Just keep your foot in it mate!
Nice puddle jumper
those land cruisers are legendary, overbuilt and designed to get you there
mix of good luck and good management , personally i would have turned around , and found another way round , but good on you mate , youll have a few credits and campfire tales : >>
A Defender chassis would rot before it got to the other side
Lol
No, a Defender is so leaky that all the wheels would’ve maintained traction with the bottom of the creek and not floated with its bum in the air
Once in the drink never push the clutch in as once the clutch plates separate they get slippery and motion ceases.
Ceramic clutchs not affected when wet
Awesome took on a deeper then "normal" river and there vehicle floated before they got across. The driver then waited for it to sink a bit to get the traction needed to get back on the track and to the other side....Fantastic job that took nerves and knowledge to pull off!!
DAMN. that's some fancy 4 wheeling
In the jungle of Peru they do this ... with passengers!
For sale price to be discussed minor water damage lol
OMG That is just beautiful!!! bwwwaaaahahahaha
Damn looks sweet . Notice at the rear one wheel is spinning , needs a rear locker to perform better .
Respect to the BOSS
Epic!
LMAO...That creek crossing is up around Mt Walker in Lithgow NSW. I have avoided it many times after rain for that exact reason!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the video. GO THE MIGHTY 80!!!
Like it. Almost exactly the right level of water-proofing.
They turned the Land Rover into a Pond Rover lmao!
*Land Cruiser ...
Darkstar22177 Yes Land Cruiser, where was my head last night lol
+SpydreX Official lol, yeah sometimes I mix them up
its a Toyota not a Land Rover
+SpydreX Official Pond Cruiser, then.
0:25 second car: 'wtf no wayyy' and pull back....
OMG Are they sailing? What a amizing crossing! :)
From Texas, USA.... incredible !
Do you need to pass a boat licence to drive that land cruiser ?! :P
Well done mate ! Cheers from Switzerland !
Love off Road.. but WTF.. is that a submarines? How did it float?
snorkel
+Sam Flynn the 80 series land cruiser is very buoyant that's why it floats. I don't know why it's so buoyant (cabin pressure?) just that it is
+Scotty MSU It didn't float, the front wheels were always in contact with the river bed due to a big iron weight at the front called a 1HZ. The back of the LC was up in the air due to a pocket of air trapped inside the vehicle. Land Cruisers have good door seals which helped, but if you notice the rear barn doors are above the water line so the cargo area remained full of air.
+Harvey Smith How do all the electrics and things go after a crossing like this? I've always wondered.
I guess the snorkel connection must have a damn good seal on it!
Does water get in past the firewall and mess things up?
The electrics get wet! Sometimes you will see lights, indicators windscreen wipers all acting erratically by themselves. Hopefully the sensitive components are high up in the dash somewhere so they don't get effected. There may be an odd fuse blown on the normal components, but generally they will dry out and work again fine. Your right about the snorkel. This is far more serious if it goes wrong. If you suck water into the engine you can end up bending con rods. Which is a complete engine re-build.
toyota tough. snorkels are a must if your gonna try this. great effort
and diesei
The Aussie spirit that our Diggers had, crazy for attempting such a feat and when in deep shit Never give up !
Need to hook up a trolling motor for that
i can to without a snorkel. hold my beer
My Landcruiser (the same) has been through a river this deep but not as wide and mine sunk and maintained traction. Perhaps both fuel tanks were very low giving 130lts of floatation and no cargo??
None the less, great driving to get it out.
This is Power of Toyota , Gods of Motors
shiet, i can do that.
here hold my beer.
This is James Bond shit. Half car half boat.
You Aussies are the greatest!!
If you're gonna sell it you might want to re-register the number plate because if the buyer saw this - they'd run lol
Just amazing!!!!
Nerves of steel is optional when it's a company car.
That guy deserve a medal!
Yep... just don't take your foot off the gas peddle and you wont stall... Good Work. Great Car/4x4...
Hilarious ... Guy at the end! Fuck me
i know right i lamo for bout half an hour
that's either very good or very bad driving
Awesome video. you have to watch the whole thing cause it turns out different than you'd first expect. Toyota rocks! Check out their secrets here:

Wow, Land Cruiser swimming through a lake! Incredible.
They floated across. Then the front end found land. Well done
I guess he thought it was worth it to ruin the interior of his car.
Just a little dirt. He's using his vehicle how he wants/needs to use it. It's a rig; not a fancy Cadillac with 4 inches of carpet inside.
A little dirt? You're joking right?
Its a Toyota 80 series standard.... the entire interior is plastics and vinyls.... Nothing to ruin.
Worst part about all of this is cleaning and regreasing everything and probably draining and refilling the diffs
I highly doubt he would be doing that sort of crossing without diff breathers.... takes the breathing hole of the diff up to the snorkel tube.
I can see now why you people gave up your guns
+Ric Aldrich our guns were not given up they were taken from us.
in europe also.....
yep, blaim martin bryant
That's lucky and funny. Persistence pays off for sure.
Used to have an 80. never know it could do THAT!!
