    I'd check the fluids in your transmission, transfer case, and differentials after going through deep water. Each of those usually have a breather tube, and most people don't know that you should extend those tubes to higher up on your vehicle if you plan on doing deep water crossing. Otherwise you get water in the cases and can ruin them.

    Snorkels are for so much more than water. They actually keep the the air box cleaner by sucking clean air from up high instead of down in the dust. Think more of a cold air intake. This the reason they are so popular in Australia. Great videos!

    These Land Cruisers are insane. When Katrina hit Mississippi my aunt and uncle owned one of these with a snorkel and used it to get back and forth to their house or what was left of it. It would easily drive through two or three feet of water. They would have to stop and get out and cut trees out of the way that had fallen across the road. I believe it had well over 250,000 miles at that point and still ran perfectly.

    It really is the best SUV. Mine is 2008 LC200, 4.7l V8. Got 200k kms. I drive it every day, go off-road for weeks at a time every summer (where I am from, Mongolia, in the countryside we mostly have dirt roads). I have some custom stuff like yours and some more. In Mongolia, Land Cruiser is very popular because it is reliable and has very good off-road capabilities. I know it is not very popular in the US, but it is, and similar models are, the go-to choice for a reliable SUV.

  • @fgurdradee

    the Toyota Land Cruiser / Prado / Nissan Patrol are basically the only vehicles you will find in the Aussie Outback. If you keep up that offroading you will need yourself a nice set of waterproof canvas seat covers - they are kidproof too :) You would fit right in down under. Many water crossings down here should you choose. as a general rule of thumb, you should try to walk through the water crossing to check the depth first, then do drive... Just make sure there are no crocs around

    In Dubai - we went "dune bashing" in Land Cruiser. The driver lets air out of the tires, then we go like hell! Up and down the sand dunes, fully loaded with 5 adults. There was a convoy of 35-50 Cruisers, up and down the dunes, I LOVED it, scared me as we slipped down the dunes, then the driver mashes the petal and we zip up and over-taking air a few times. These Cruisers do 2 or more trips a day, punishing the Cruiser, just fantastic!

    I had a 1989 Nissan Pathfinder SE, a 3 liter 5 speed, that, surprisingly, did the same (minus the big rocks in the water), with NO SNORKEL. No electrical issues. Stereo kept working fine during and after. No scratches because we didn't try rock climbing in water. Instead we drove at a beach in the middle of nowhere in the deep woods. The Pathfinder performed at least as good, if not better than what I saw in this video... No stopping, but drove slow the whole time, keeping steady momentum.

I sold it with almost 300k hard miles on it & it ran as smooth as the day I bought it; truly amazing vehicle. Probably the best vehicle I've ever owned & miss it every time it snows or I get the urge to go off roading.

    We bought a 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser when the birth of my little brother happened so we’d have enough seats. Me plus three siblings plus my mom and dad we just needed more than our 2003 impala. We didn’t know we bought a tank. I no longer live with them but my parents still have it to this day. 270k miles on it. Thing is unstoppable. It’s kind of trashed down for my dad driving it to work and the work he does but it’s still as mean as it was the day we got it. It towed a cow trailer that normally a big diesel tows full of cows and a bull. Sure other trucks and suvs might can do that but it did it without struggle. Felt like you were driving on a normal day without hauling anything. In addition to that it towed that trailer full of cows through a piece of land our cows had walked through so much it was like a little canyon. It’s a monster and I have offered to buy it from my dad who wants to sell it because it’s too much of a tank to just sell to some guy on the street.

      He didn't go deep enough to get any in the crankcase and most vehicles these days have o ring seals on the diptick tube anyways.
      Same as the trans: I doubt he went anywhere deep enough to get any in the trans filler tube
      Brakes are sealed, if they weren't, he wouldn't be able to stop
      Power steering fluid: if he got water in there he wouldn't have power steering before because it works on hydraulic pressure.
      rear end: they are sealed and if he got water in there, he'd have had leaks before he went into the water.....

In order to use a snorkel and water to water proof your engine you have to apply many more water proofing features. Anyone who has snorkeled thier veicle and driven into water with the necessary equipment and didn't water thier engine has gotten extremely lucky

    I'm amazed by the number of people that don't know that Lexus is made by Toyota. This is almost the exact same vehicle as a land cruiser. It has different suspension components, a nicer interior and grill is different. Other than that, it is the exact same vehicle. Lexus didn't "Copy" Toyota. Land Cruiser enthusiasts recognize it as a Land Cruiser. Engine parts are almost 100% interchangeable. When you buy parts from online off-road retailers they almost always market parts as LC/LX. Some folks even take out the AHC system and put....you guessed it....land cruiser suspension components in them. ITS A LAND CRUISER!!!

  • @RealWorldCarReviews

    Dude. You were SO lucky not to flip the LX in that water, or drown it. You should always test the depth first before driving through any type of deep water. Also, doesn’t it have a rear locking differential? If not, you need to install one if you’re doing more off-roading. Get some off-road training before you do any more in it. It’s very easy for stuff to go majorly wrong and injury to occur.
