Why I Spent $13,000 on an ANCIENT Toyota (16 year old car)

New series for Jon: HOW MANY TOYOTAS CAN I BUY UNTIL I GO BROKE

You should ship the red-Barron to me and I’ll totally hook it up, drive it for a month and sell it for 4x as much,deal

Hey jon to fix that pooling of water just flush your drain thats directly under your windshield its just clogged

Ancient? I drive a 1st gen Avalon, 9th gen Suburban, and a 2nd gen Ranger and I don't even consider them "old". In my book, anything past 2000 is still somewhat new, and anything 2010 and up is practically brand new. Hell, the "somewhat old" category to me doesn't even start until about 1989 and back. Now as for the Land Cruiser, is it really worth 13 grand? Don't get me wrong I am a huge fan of Land Cruisers I think they are great vehicles, but if I sold all 3 of my cars right now I would get maybe 7,000 bucks, and that's a hard maybe. That is 6 grand short of affording that Land Cruiser. With 6,000 dollars to spare, I have a fuel efficient, reliable and roomy full size sedan for daily driving, a compact truck for lighter duty truck work with slightly better fuel economy than the Suburban when I don't need a full size truck, and for heavier towing when the might of the 350 small block and towing capacity of a full size truck is warranted (pulling my camper for example), I have the Suburban. Moral of the story is, if I had the money to throw at a Land Cruiser, I would. On the other hand, if I wanted a Land Cruiser now, I would have to sell all three of my cars and somehow crap out 6,000 more dollars to buy one, and daily drive that thing getting the same crappy gas mileage as the Suburban on a daily basis committing to daily drive the Land Cruiser, another full size SUV. Hence, I have my trucks for truck stuff, and my car for daily economy, and the backup of having two other vehicles in case the Avalon breaks down, which it rarely does being a Toyota. Yes, Toyota does make great trucks/SUVs, however they are way overpriced and the average Joe simply can't afford them. Why not just buy a Toyota car which will be very reliable and way more reasonably priced than a Toyota truck, that you can use when you don't need a truck, and get a more affordable truck of another brand, both combined could possibly amount to just half of what it would cost for just one Land Cruiser.

CAN I HAVE 100K SUBSCRIBERS FOR NO REASON :)

Nice !!! It's Toyota forever!!!

Me to bro crazy obsession esp toyota landcruisers

I rather get a 4Runner bc the land cruiser uses a lot of gas.

hoovies garage

in my opinion you should build a small bed with some drawers, so you can put your lures, fishing reels in it. As an addition you should leave free space behind de drawers so you can slide your roods right under the bed after you finished fishing :) On the ground you can mount some sort of drawer rails so you can take it out :) sorry for my bad englisch greetings from germany :)

Sounds more like heater core

Should’ve gotten a Jeep Wrangler🤦🏻‍♂️

I would give you a Walmart bike & a stick of gum for that car

Who would dislike this video?

Had the same water issue with an old jeep of mine, mechanic tried to sell me a new heatercore. If the fluid doesnt smell sweet, it isnt the heatercore (unless there isnt coolant in the car, and just straight water which is bad) Anyways, I did my own research. The AC system pulls moisture out of the air and theres a drain pipe in the engine bay on the fire wall by the passenger footwell (yours might be the same, idk).
There should be something on the drain pipe so it points down towards the road, not the front of the car -- if the pipe is pointing towards the front of the car, what happens is when you're driving instead of that moisture being dripped into the road -- the wind pushes it back into the cabin and floods your car. I went to home depot and bought a cheap little $0.10 PVC elbow and popped it on the drain pipe, was dry for 2+ years before selling the car.
Went from a $1.6k repair to 10c, definitely worth checking into that.

Get heavy duty bumpers, roof rack on top, winch on front bumper with a sick little light bar. Axe, shovel, jack, 72-hour kit, Jerry can up on the roof rack with a curved light bar. 33" Mickey Thompson All Terrains, snorkel n waterproof the engine bay/cab. Have a nice single/double bed in the back with a drawer 6" deep 3' across and 5' long for clothes, tackle, poles, ECT.
