Nice work Ronny - great video!!! Missed the bit about water & fuel capacity....but that's all we missed. Fuel - 93L factory tank + 180L Long Range Tank + 40L in Jerry Cans = 313L capacity which is about 2200km. Water - 55L Bladder between rear seat & cargo barrier + 20L Jerry can behind fridge = 75L which lasts us 2 weeks being conservative. Since the video, I've done my battery upgrade, catch can & intake clean.....getting ready for power increase next.
Hey Ronny, Thanks for your great videos. Really helpfull for somebody starting Off roading in Australia. We have a Pajero nm series (manual petrol with 300k kms) with: Barwork - No bullbar; no sidesteps, no rear bar; no underbody protection Lights and coms - stock, no coms other than a couple of hand radios Tyres and suspension - KONI shocks with 2' lift lovel springs under the hood - "powerful" 3.5 petrol NA no dual battery no engine tune. The rear - takes everything we need (no fridge, no drawers, no etc...) Interior mods - none We just added a Rihno pioneer rack with roof top tent and jerry can holder for extra fuel. However with a bit of creativity we travelled more than 25000 km in the last couple of trips. e.g. Tanami, Gibb river rd, savannah way, twilight cove, balladonia to esperance (off road) Maybe one day you could make a video with a vehichle that has a different approach to adventure travelling. Equiped with just the bare essentials. You were my reference when preparing for big road trips. Great work, Thank you very much
Should do another modified 200 series Rony (not a chop either) heaps of new builds local mate. Would be keep to see a recent model with all the fruit but still legal
I'm running Kumho MT51's of the same size on my 2004 L200. They're great on lighter mud (3-5 inch depth). Looking forward to giving them a go in the winter but I can vouch for them so far!
This popped up in my feed and I thought it was a recent video. I soon noticed this was the guy who documented the dusted engine and was surprised to think he mustn't have done anything to improve his airbox second time around... but no, realised this is 5 years old! Still worth watching though.
Im kinda looking at a 200 to replace my 80 right now. I kinda like they they aren't the obvious choice, plus the 5.7 we get in the states is a great motor.
As a 200 owner it's a hell of a rig, the 5.7 is fantastic, though I would love that 4.5L. Head over to ih8mud.com. Tons of knowledgeable guys in the 200 section to answer your questions.
It is possible to purchase one and I am sure the price would be extremely high as the 1HD are around $10k here, but more importantly it would be impossible to register and use the car on public roads.
26:18 TIL you can't go off road without a chemical toilet in Australia. It blows my mind it was so frequent of an occurrence, that a rule had to be made.
Smashing vehicle, with some great mods. One question though - I notice this vehicle in particular, but also the others carry a lot of gear internally in the boot space and back seat. Would this not present a danger to the front seat occupants in the case of a motorway collision? Is there a bulkhead in the back? Is the gear secure ?
12kerryman - I've got a cargo barrier between backseat & cargo area which protects me from all that, the green box on my backseat is strapped to the seatback & the only other stuff in the backseat is bedding & clothes. I feel safe when it's all packed in.
Hey Ronny, i am new to the channel and are really enjoying your videos and learning quiet a lot, im also new to the whole 4x4 scene so detailed videos like this are great! Some people might cringe to the idea but how about a video like this based on a Holden Jackaroo preferably a 1992+ i notice your in Weston Australia but i know someone in Victoria you might be able to interview with a Jackaroo that isn't really a Jackaroo anymore with tonnes of custom parts etc. depending on how far you will travel. Other then that i would love to watch a video like this of any Jackaroo you can find really -Tyler
Great setup, gives me a headache trying to keep up with what is what. I don't think i would ever add that amount of tech to my wagon. I would be waiting with dread for it all to go wrong.
I know there are some modded Grand Cherokees buzzing around in the outback, any chance of featuring one of those in a future episode? Great series, BTW, looking forward to the Unimog one.
I have a new 2017 land cruiser and I take it out camping for half days ... its pretty much factory stock. I would love to do some over-landing and camping over the whole weekend, but I am not sure about how you manage to live life with a heavily modified car like this one. I mean I dont think I can pull up to the office, or go to a fancy business dinner something like that ... Please do enlighten how do you transform that back to an everyday car. The LC is expensive and I cannot have another car for Sunday-Thursday and take out the LC for weekend fun
I drive it to work everyday like you see it, sure that means its slightly less fuel efficient, but I leave the draws in and packed, fridge running and tent ontop. All I have to do for a weekend is pack food, clothes, bedding & camera gear. I rock up to work & go to parties in it, if people see it and ask me about it, I treat it as a conversation starter. If you enjoy camping and 4wding then your proud to share your experiences and stories with others. Kind Regards - Graham (Owner)
Hey Ronny, you got a Prado 120 lined up by any chance? Gonna be my next purchase. Over here in the states we only have the GX470, but I want to see how the Aussies get their Prados done up to give me ideas.
In Oz we now have the 150 series Prado and are very popular . 4.0Litre V6 or 3.0 litre turbo diesel . But let Ronny tell you more as I have a USA imported 2015 Toyota 4runner
I was informed that you cant fit bigger tyres on the 200 series as the ECU cant be programmed for the bigger tyres- that was from a toyota salesman at a Toyota dealership.
American here, so bare with me...What's the difference between "touring" and "overlanding/expedition?" I understand rock crawling, mudding, general USA type off roading, but would like to know how the Aussies define the differences.
bit of advise. I would swap my pantry draw with the tool draw, How do you like having to move the fridge back in when you need to get some gas or beans?
great car when ready for off road imne would have it in Spin Tires and I would normally check it against other brands and models and like put for a great car but it is still far from a legend
elltie - Sorry mate we did miss the fuel capacity. It's got 93L factory tank + 180L aux tank + 40L in Jerry cans = 313L Also carry 75L water (55L in a water bladder between my back seat & cargo barrier & 20L in a jerry behind my fridge.
bruce 130013 - With it fully loaded and all the gear on the roof it's somewhere between 14-15L/100km.....which gives me 2000km range on the highway, add some 4x4ing in I can safely work on atleast 1500km from every tank, regardless of condition. Without the stuff on the roof it averages 13L/100km but I only have 273L of fuel so can still only get around the 2000km mark. Considering weight and size - it's impressive numbers.
Wow... That Landcruiser is an overlanders' dream
This vs Troopy. Comfort vs storage
Nice work Ronny - great video!!!

Great Off-Road Adventures - Graham Reinders
How did you go with the power increase? Big difference? Better ecobomy?
How did the power increase go ?
So the air box mod in video clearly did not work then....
Sometimes when i just look at a car I know it will drive well, the 200 series Landcruiser is certainly one of them !
I agree about the stay out of the mud I leave that to my children now an try preserve my bearings awesome truck the 200 well put together
Greetings from Slovenia 🇸🇮
Wicked. This is a great tourer as well. Would love to see more 100 and 200 tourers.
Hey Ronny,
Thanks for your great videos. Really helpfull for somebody starting Off roading in Australia.
We have a Pajero nm series (manual petrol with 300k kms) with:
Barwork - No bullbar; no sidesteps, no rear bar; no underbody protection
Lights and coms - stock, no coms other than a couple of hand radios
Tyres and suspension - KONI shocks with 2' lift lovel springs
under the hood - "powerful" 3.5 petrol NA no dual battery no engine tune.
The rear - takes everything we need (no fridge, no drawers, no etc...)
Interior mods - none
We just added a Rihno pioneer rack with roof top tent and jerry can holder for extra fuel.
However with a bit of creativity we travelled more than 25000 km in the last couple of trips. e.g. Tanami, Gibb river rd, savannah way, twilight cove, balladonia to esperance (off road)
Maybe one day you could make a video with a vehichle that has a different approach to adventure travelling. Equiped with just the bare essentials.
You were my reference when preparing for big road trips.
Great work,
Thank you very much
selmopcarreira be carefull them engines absoulouetly hate water and yeah what mods you planning
my god this is bloody awesome!!!!
Don't be scared to scratch it. Buy it. Love it. Love it.
Should do another modified 200 series Rony (not a chop either) heaps of new builds local mate. Would be keep to see a recent model with all the fruit but still legal
I know I just commented but this car is a dream... I love it!
I'm running Kumho MT51's of the same size on my 2004 L200. They're great on lighter mud (3-5 inch depth). Looking forward to giving them a go in the winter but I can vouch for them so far!
Pro tip of the day. You need to have the solar panel cleaned!
@ronny dahl, in future could you possibly start the car and give it a few revs to get a perspective on how the exhaust and vehicle sounds, thanks
Jackson Saunders - Link to my channel is in the description....somewhere in my videos you'll find some noise from the 200 👍🏻.
Great video Ronny and an impressive rig you've got there Graham. It's definitely a very well thought out set up.
Cheers guys - few little tweaks left and will be ready for any trip, big or small, long or short.
This popped up in my feed and I thought it was a recent video. I soon noticed this was the guy who documented the dusted engine and was surprised to think he mustn't have done anything to improve his airbox second time around... but no, realised this is 5 years old! Still worth watching though.
Good work getting a 200 on Ronny it looked real nice
Amazing Rig!
Love it Graham & Ronnie.
morning bog with a new Modified is always a pleasure. Nearly at the 100k subscriber mark Ronny!
Each and Every Video I enjoy...
and the exact year i wanted to see too. much appreciated!
[PIPES] - Link to my channel is in the description if you want to see more, or if you have any further questions.
Great Review, very relevant for a lot of people
Im kinda looking at a 200 to replace my 80 right now. I kinda like they they aren't the obvious choice, plus the 5.7 we get in the states is a great motor.
As a 200 owner it's a hell of a rig, the 5.7 is fantastic, though I would love that 4.5L. Head over to ih8mud.com. Tons of knowledgeable guys in the 200 section to answer your questions.
Tony P I'm on mud already but I haven't checked out the 200 group yet
Patrick Rich is it possible to purchase the Aussie spec diesel crate engine in the states for a conversion?
2gud4umenglez negatory. Wouldn't come close to passing import regs
It is possible to purchase one and I am sure the price would be extremely high as the 1HD are around $10k here, but more importantly it would be impossible to register and use the car on public roads.
My dream car!! Awesome vehicle 👍🏼
Another great walk around.
I wish our LC in the US had that engine. Nice truck.
Ronny mate you gotta do a Unimog soon
Fukn oath mate. We need dis!!
one is coming
Absolutely amazing Ronny, cant wait to see it
Unimog's are good for a few days, they get very tedious very quickly, slow and very limiting in the places you can go.
Jack Montgomery fight me
Ronny!! Need to do a 150 series prado 👍🏻🍺
+Scott Willmann got one lined up just need to set a shoot date
Totally agree.
Ronny Dahl Hello Ronny, How much for the rig and all the mods do ya reckon she cost mate ?
ronny ur a legend for doing this one next up prado 150 :D
Love this car! Hopefully you can find a guy with a Ford Everest!
Thanks
How I wish I was knowledgeable of all this :( especially since I plan to go off roading in Utah and around there
watch and learn
Seems a bit ott, and I love it.
Great video, thanks guys
smart owner.. can catch rohny drooling over the car.. haha
I always learn a lot from you. Keep up the good work and informative videos.
TJM bullbar looks sick on the 200, I like it more than the ARB one.
And solid - I'd happily replace mine with another TJM (if ever required).
Another great video Ronny
Ronny! You should do a review on Wayne's cruiser!
Show us how simple and practical he has his set up! Cheers
Ronny! Need to do a 2016 hilux video. Please
Super detail
Thanks Mate...
amazing rig
Getting close to the 100K subscribers! good stuff
that thkngs awesome
ronny we need to see more hilux
This is my dream car
Too many bling computers / electronics to go BING when out in the bush.
Sound quality went way up on this one Ronny. Great stuff as always mate.
good tip about dust in air-boxes..
Yep - don't want to go dusting turbos or engines.
That fire extinguisher is a joke, haha!
these 200s are a very capable 4wd
Good vid Ronny
hi ronny this is a such a nice modified car thank you for that, and maybe we sometime take some trips you know what I mean.
again thanks.
This channel should have way more subs, keep up the good work Ronny!
Greetings from the US, love the videos, would like to see more Nissan Navarra (Frontier) builds.
Nice rig and awesome work as always Ronny. It would be good to see more 4.2 Patrols :)
I like you Land Cruiser V8
thats a beautiful beast 😍😍
Thank You
i have a 200 series for touring and a fully sick Ls2 80 series for some serious 4 wheel driving
Yep - I can't beat my 200 for touring, looking forward to some more trips!!!
Bigger tires! you austrailians! :)
Still looks a kluger , that said sounds tough
26:18 TIL you can't go off road without a chemical toilet in Australia. It blows my mind it was so frequent of an occurrence, that a rule had to be made.

Hey Ronny reckon you could cover the older model of either the ranger or BT50 be awesome to see what someone have done to one. Cheers
Hey Ronny, reckon you'd be able to show off another Jimny? They seem like a really appealing first car!
Hey Ronny love the vids could you possibly do a hilux surf/ 4 runner
Nice

MOOSEDOWNUNDER what
What what?
vary cool
Unimog please Ronny!
Within the next 2 episodes ;)
That's so exciting!
Cool
I wish I could could get these in the us
My dream
Interesting.
I know there are some modded Grand Cherokees buzzing around in the outback, any chance of featuring one of those in a future episode? Great series, BTW, looking forward to the Unimog one.
gas on top of the car oooooo intresting haw in warks with the heat. BOOOOMMMMM BEY 200
Cristi Sifcevici it's diesel
I think the US 4runner looks to be a more serious off road vehicle. This 200 is closer to a Lexus version of the US 4runner
4Runner for going offroad and Land Cruiser for going home again 👍
I have a new 2017 land cruiser and I take it out camping for half days ... its pretty much factory stock.

HAPPYFUNTIMEx2 prado mainly roof racks larger tyres and jacks on prados tho my neighbours do have two pradis tyres lift roof rack ervything
20:58 bigfoot sighting in the background
I wonder how heavy the car is. Thank you
Ronny, which is the purpose of so manny breathers installed?, Thanks
Hey Ronny would you be able to do a review of a 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ. Cheers Luke
Please do a Holden RC Colorado
awesome videos, can you do a modified episode with a ford courier?
That scrawny dude has a good cruiser
I was informed that you cant fit bigger tyres on the 200 series as the ECU cant be programmed for the bigger tyres- that was from a toyota salesman at a Toyota dealership.
Steinwaygrande .2 inches bigger mainly all you can do
Amazing the crap car salesmen tell you. Bu thank you for the information I`ll bare it in mind.
American here, so bare with me...What's the difference between "touring" and "overlanding/expedition?" I understand rock crawling, mudding, general USA type off roading, but would like to know how the Aussies define the differences.
Freedom Rider - nothing really. Touring is more of an Australian term.
bit of advise. I would swap my pantry draw with the tool draw, How do you like having to move the fridge back in when you need to get some gas or beans?
no you dind't understand i meen the Propan gas bottel on top of the car noth the gerycan.
Hey Ronny! Love the modified videos, any luck on getting a dmax on it?
still looking had a few lined up but they are stalling due to more mods going on
Awesome!!! Can't wait
My dad has a Nissan Nicaea you should try one out
great car when ready for off road imne would have it in Spin Tires and I would normally check it against other brands and models and like put for a great car but it is still far from a legend
Thanks for the new video, is the size difference between fridge drop and fridge slide really that big?
I must of miss the fuel capacity. ronny could tell the tank capacities please cheers
elltie - Sorry mate we did miss the fuel capacity.
It's got 93L factory tank + 180L aux tank + 40L in Jerry cans = 313L
Also carry 75L water (55L in a water bladder between my back seat & cargo barrier & 20L in a jerry behind my fridge.
Graham Reinders whats the fuel milage on it how long do you normally get out of a tank
bruce 130013 - With it fully loaded and all the gear on the roof it's somewhere between 14-15L/100km.....which gives me 2000km range on the highway, add some 4x4ing in I can safely work on atleast 1500km from every tank, regardless of condition.
Without the stuff on the roof it averages 13L/100km but I only have 273L of fuel so can still only get around the 2000km mark.
Considering weight and size - it's impressive numbers.
Graham Reinders thats pretty good i get about 3800km on a tank in my 300tdi defender
bruce 130013 - Wow - How big is the tank in your Defender then?
Ronny can you review a Nissan patrol 3.0 Litre cab chassis
Wondering if there is a 150 prado modified episode ?
