Take the Eighty every day of the week 💪
80 for sure
Hi guys Love the adventures , were is Simon.
My edic motor shut down and stopped the engine in my 47. Mine sat in roof deep freshwater for 24 hours in the middle of the Adelaide River floodplains NT, and like yours, I drained the engine through the glow plugs, changed the battery and oil, and fired it up. Ran well for years afterwards. Never venture into water with your windows up!
80 hands down guys.. bloody epic.. although you read that river so wrong still drove it away
Lets be honest, Jase was freaking out as much as Mitch! 😂
Ive had 2 80 series and 1 100 series fantastic vehicles. I had 1 80 same colour TD as yours fantastic oh ps i had a TD 60 series before them go Toyota 😊😊

Jase, need to do a video on the problems you had with the BYD
Land Cruiser … for sure 👍🏼 ❤️🇦🇺
Had an Avis Land Cruiser rental in Darwin back in the 90's, it had a 'tide mark' up on the dash where it had spent the wet season bogged somewhere the mechanic told me. Still ran ok, hard to kill a diesel.
So much fun dog
