One thing to note: the tire date code is actually week then year. so 1121 means the 11th week of 2021. This is true for any tire made after 2000. Also you could see a week 53 if the year starts/ends on the right day of the week. Otherwise, great video!!

Thanks for that detailed checklist. I'd definately add AHC acumulators and it's system performance in general to the list if the car has one. It's also good to check the AC compressor performance. Not to mention checking the drive lever operation and center diff lock one. Good to look at the sunroof condition and operatuon if available. Anyway - a very helpful video for those who want to buy their best car in the world ❤

Mine looks very similar to yours - was a NJ 2006 truck - great walk through! I'll need to replace my muffler soon as well, small hole in it. Gotta love rust! I am going to be using a wire-wheel brush and the rust converter called Corroseal very soon!

Great video, and very detailed. One thing I notice on yours is the upper radiator hose appears to be touching the engine beauty cover. The OEM hose has a slight bend away from that cover, but generics do not. Worth checking out as that hose is under pressure and could end up being compromised where it’s rubbing.

Thanks for the flag! I know for sure it is OEM becasue I replaced it in 2019. I wonder if the beauty cover is slightly warped and causing it to touch. I'll take a closer look!

Hi Greg, I am closing in on a Landcruiser soon, do you have the list available?
@evaz6495Ай бұрын
Man! Out of the whole video the last 30sec was interesting. It’s Land Cruiser but you did a great job turning it into LX470 interior. How much did it cost you to do so? 😊

I ended up selling the original Toyota parts on eBay so I think it only ended up costing me 100-200 total! I'll do a video on that soon!

One thing to look out for is the TRD sticker. Anyone that puts a fake sticker on their car might not be the smartest person.
