That 80 is in really good nick, I'd keep it pretty mild on the modifications. As you said, spice up the 4.5 a little, freshen up the suspension, a nice wheel and tyre combo and some nicer bar work. A sweet touring rig/shopping cart.
Number 1, part time 4wd kit. 2nd, 2.5 inch exhaust with extractors. Three, hit up diesel conversions australia / adventurecorp, they have a nice little diy bullbar. Number the 4th, get lockers in it. Youll immediately slip a wheel lol So jealous demi, dont let tyler dictate the mods. Look what happened to the patrols.
If you put 35's on it with the way Demi likes to sends it, be prepared for broken axles and diff centres 🤣 My vote is keep it tame, 2" lift, 33's, some bar work and maybe a locker, and do a nice touring setup in the back. You've already got two big expensive builds, it'd be nice to see something a little more affordable.
Love the intro with the cameo's of other RUclipsrs. Funny stuff. 👏 Great choice of car. Demi has excellent taste in 4WDs. Then again I'm biased as I too have an 80 Series GXL 4.5L petrol - a 1996 model. Mine is also white with black trims. I named it "Snoopy", coz of the same colour combo of the character. And like you, first thing I did was removed its 90s style aluminium bullbar that it had on, and fitted a factory bumper bar that had an JDM OEM Toyota bumper guard fitted. Great to hear you're keeping your LC80 relatively stock. Grandpa spec ones are getting rarer each year. Factory OEM bumper bars do come up regularly in Gumtree. Just be patient, as some want idiotic money for them,. But some do come up that are reasonably priced. Congratulations on the new 4WD. Looking forward to see what you'll do to it. 👍👌❤
As i own a petrol auto 80 even a 93 model hahah i can tell u they are super capable and awesome on the beach love the power of the petrol walks cirlces around my diesel mates plus simply seal the distributor and its waterproof
Welcome to the Toyota LandCruiser family. I also have a 4.5 litre petrol 80 Series auto. Uber happy with mine, but it does love a drink (average: 18-19L/100km road / 24-26L/100km offroad tracks / 27-29km sand/beach), but the engine and drivetrain are bulletproof. And when going uphill (on-road) and kitted (mine has a RTT, 270 awning, drawers, barriers, fridge etc.), it does show its lack of grunt. That's why I've been thinking about a turbo kit for a while. But unsure how that will impact its reliability and durability, which is more important to me than power. That's why I haven't done it yet. So if you decide to turbo your LC80, I'll be eagerly following that. As for tips,... look at the KAON Rear Top Shelf - so handy. And if you are thinking at fitting gullwing doors for the rear side windows, I personally like the ones from The Cruiser Company. Aussie made and very OEM looking. Congratulations on the new 4WD. Funny collab with the other RUclipsrs. Made me lol. 🤣 👍
Oh yeah guys , well done. One of my favourite cars i owned was an 80 series. I suppose with 2 nissans in the driveway you did need to buy a recovery vehicle 😂😂😂.
Keep it simple, 2 inch lift, 33s, hurricane fab do a really nice hinged lid for the tailgate. There are a few mobs that do a supercharger kit for these aswell
I’ve got a triple locked 97 with the 1Fz, yes it’s a bit thirstier and not as much low down torque but I can get 15 L per 100km on the highway… that’s with RTT, bullbar, awning, drawers, 33s,fridge yadda yadda. Go easy on the right foot and they aren’t terrible, but it will never be a Prius. Being a petrol and auto engine braking isn’t as good. But as long as it’s been maintained these things will run for up to 900k without need of an overhaul. Mine just clocked 400k and I redid the head in preparation for a turbo. It didn’t need it and was running fine. Drive line isn’t as meaty as Patrols but pretty good. Word of warning. Immediately check and /or replace the pesky heater hose!!!! The only other thing that’s a bit of a pain to get to is the fuel filter, but being a petrol you won’t need to worry about that often, unlike a diesel. And keep as eye on the swivel hubs. Not a hard job… just messy as hell.
With the steering box, I found rather than go through the process of engineering a GU steering box, it was much easier and just as good to get a 2006-2007 105 sector shaft and pitment arm from terrain tamer, which fits in the standard steering box. Pricy, but well worth it as I'd twisted my standard sector shaft and the late 105 shaft is much thicker where they tend to twist
Welcome to the Toyota family. You will not regret this fine purchase, sir. Cannot wait for the $70k worth of mods and for it to be taken to the $1,000 track. Yes!!!
I would love to own an 80 one day. I had ordered a 76 but the wait was too long and bought a GU7 instead and I love it. But my jaw drops everytime I see a modified 100 series. Toyota / Nissan; I just love 4WD's.
Do your research on engine swapping petrol to diesel. Shaun Whale recently did the reverse of that to make Sooty 2 and had a lot of trouble with different mounting point for the engine and the box, different subframe too I believe.
I made a comment a few weeks ago about doing 33s, you should definitely do 35s though. Over 33s, it won’t cost you much more in fuel. Looks better. Same defect as 33s. Win win.
A turbo fz will blow your socks off. People have made 900hp reliably in them. Or if you want better fuel efficiency, a turbo not making crazy power helps alot.
Nice mate. Can come down to Vic and take pics with our 80. Twin locked is the go. Solid pinion spacers in the diff. Prob needs the valve lash done if it’s down on power a bit. Brace the front diff and the knuckles. Part time kit will prob save you 1-2L per hundred but will also reduce the wear on front diff parts.
They are pretty reliable I sold my one last year because it wasn’t economical ( tank a week) as a daily to drive to work, great on the Hwy I use to get 750-800k’s on both tanks
Good choice. For a tourer, dont jeed any more than 2 inch lift with some 33s. My 105 (almost same as 80) has 2 inch OME with 33 ATs and hasnt gotten me stuck yet. Depending on kms, check for burnt valves but apart from that, engine wise they are pretty much indestructible with forged internals from the factory. Only downfall with the 80series 1FZ is the distributor on water crossings. Seal it up before the crossing when you tie your fan blades and good to go.
Nice collaboration with the guys from the other channels mate! All the best with the new beast, I'm not a Toyota guy but I know how good they are. Because it's Demi's car it could be named Ladie80
Have a look where the inner front guards connect to the firewall, they rust out. Really common issue but fairly easily fixed. Other then that just ya usual solid axle maintenance shit. The upper tailgates rust on the bottom where the window rubber is but you will see that when it becomes an issue. Mines rusted but can’t be fucked fixing it yet lol
Good on you Tyler and Demi. I like the name 'Katie the 80' . You will get the attention from the Toyota fanclub. Enjoy the build, we will be following you on it😊
Thirsty is a understatement I had a 105 auto had to sell it broke my bank daily driving it lol went back to my mavrick td get 4 times the distance and don’t hafto baby it
I noticed mate that you where driving from the bago quay near the motocross track I’m guessing that’s where you got the 80 from? the best thing you can do is take it back there with all the other rust buckets go to die. 😂😂
Nice work Tyler. I have watched your channel from the beginning... great to see you spice it up a bit with the Toyota. And by the way nice intro/conclusion with your guests, you have clearly come a long way...Keep it going and I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the Toyota next. Cheers,
Hey Tyler! I’ve got a 105 series wagon and it’s my daily, I reckon keep it 2 inch lift with 33 tyres and saves having to get it engineered! It’ll still go everywhere you need it to go! Also, I got a spare exhaust laying around if you want it 🤪
Tyres, 16 rims and 305 tyres Tyler. 33's are perfect forvwhat you need mate. Dont go narrow 285, 305 the proper 33 inch tyres are great on these, fill guards out and really good off road.
Mate, what have you done. Demi is so controlling and here I was thinking she was a nice person. Poor Zeph growing up with a Landcruiser now. 😅😅 Great video, love the collaboration with everyone. NISSANS RULE.....
Good work and great intro, i am currently looking at parting with my NP3000 for a grandpa spec 80 as well. I have had 2 80's in the past and love them, great touring vehicles.
Finally you bought a bitumen warrior for shopping trolley duties and something to drop the kids off at school with….. Oh you might want to go off road….mmm you might look at a gu diff swap for the front then! Great vid mate looking forward to videos of taking Zeph to day care! Also I noted Zeph whining when he was in it… at least he knows cars lol
Well done guys this 80 does look very honest inside and out , as for buying Toyota instead of more Nissan's, I enjoy change too , let's call it best of both worlds
The oil pan gaskets are a misery on those unless you have the engine out. There's even a specific pattern in the FSM for the FIPG stuff. I'd also be curious if the head gasket is original. IIRC Australian-spec FZJ80s had less issues with those since there's no EGR to heat up cyls 5 & 6 like here in the states.
Finally got a cruiser😅😅 Replace bushes front to rear and she will be a completely different drive. Great looking 80, can wait to see what you do with it!
Congrats on the 80, great change an addition to the channel. I’m a Toyota guy that likes GQs and GUs, so enjoy the process, I wouldn’t throw 35s on it straight away, 33s are very capable on 80s, esp for Demi as a daily driver, def do your suspension, bushes, get spring rates right esp in the rear, plate the chassis around the steering box if ya going to go hard off road, Id do it anyways, keep ya fluids & filters fresh and she’ll go and go and go. Enjoy, if anymore pink jokes or Rose Gold, I’m gonna have nightmares, 🤘🍻
Epic gang, great to see some familiar faces & now Demi won't want to know you haha! Thanks for the new vid, our fam loves your content, always a good natured bit of banter between you two! ✌️👍
All nissan bogans will definitely hate you for owning a cruiser now..dont you remember in past episode when a cruiser past by,your mechanic friends nick said typical cruiser owner 😂
Congratulations Demi and welcome to the 4wd crew lol with the grill you should get her a custom one with either Demi or the name of the car in it 🤷🏻♂️
Finally a decent car on the channel 😍😍
What a great community, well done for supporting each other 🎉
Absolutely
Epic with all the clips mate good job!

As i own a petrol auto 80 even a 93 model hahah i can tell u they are super capable and awesome on the beach love the power of the petrol walks cirlces around my diesel mates plus simply seal the distributor and its waterproof
Also the 1fz engines are sluggish until u hit 3k revs then they liven up real quick haha they definitely love abit of limiter

Do you have a business name of who supplies the superchargers?
@Kristian MacDonald try bullet cars in Queensland, great guys to do business with

Reinforce the panhard mounts too as they tend to rip off the chassis.
Congratulations guys. It's great to see a combination of manufactured vehicles on your channel. I think this is going to be exciting.
Finally a proper car on your channel 😁
Welcome to the Toyota family. You will not regret this fine purchase, sir. Cannot wait for the $70k worth of mods and for it to be taken to the $1,000 track. Yes!!!

Now that's a great find, love a good 80 series. Interesting to see what Demi will do to her vehicle 😊 !!
Best FZ auto mod is heat proof the gearbox tunnel. Makes it sooo much nicer for cruising.
few mods for you mate 2 big bottles of nos in the back 8" lift on 40" treps and might as well Ls swap it and supercharge it
Best idea yet
Do your research on engine swapping petrol to diesel. Shaun Whale recently did the reverse of that to make Sooty 2 and had a lot of trouble with different mounting point for the engine and the box, different subframe too I believe.
1 owner with history, that's a find. Great collab. What you saved in purchase money will prob pay for a lot of fuel. Like it 👍
I made a comment a few weeks ago about doing 33s, you should definitely do 35s though. Over 33s, it won’t cost you much more in fuel. Looks better. Same defect as 33s. Win win.
Had to laugh at the other RUclipsr's comments. Good luck keeping as a mall crawler. And yep, you are dead to me converting to Toyota. Good ep
I can't wait to see new 80 series build episode..hope more company will support you in this new demi cruiser 🤘🏻
"Get more of those LED whips" hahahahhaha
A turbo fz will blow your socks off. People have made 900hp reliably in them. Or if you want better fuel efficiency, a turbo not making crazy power helps alot.
GU steering box and diffs, manual locking hubs and a locker
I have always been a Mitsubishi Triton but I just bought a 80 series Toyota I and I love it is a one owner ⛏️😁🇦🇺👍
Welcome to the Toyota club 🎉 tailgates are the best 👌
Kinsella’s front bar, lil 2 inch lift on 35s with a whole lotta cutting 😮💨
Nice mate. Can come down to Vic and take pics with our 80.
Twin locked is the go. Solid pinion spacers in the diff.
Prob needs the valve lash done if it’s down on power a bit.

The upper tailgates rust on the bottom where the window rubber is but you will see that when it becomes an issue. Mines rusted but can’t be fucked fixing it yet lol
Look out for cracks around steering box they are very prone to it, i can tell you from experience
leave it stock , put some all terrains on it and take it to the Cape and back to show people how little mods you need to go 4wdriving
Na allll of the mods
Be different to all the other channels, be the one ,you can do it
Good on you Tyler and Demi. I like the name 'Katie the 80' .
You will get the attention from the Toyota fanclub. Enjoy the build, we will be following you on it😊
Tyler, that is awesome!!! Love it!
Now you will have 2 great brands in the garage….. forget the N - T difference - same same but different!
Replace all the bushes would be nicer to drive and put a turbo on run only 8-10psi max so you don’t send the piston out of the block
Thirsty is a understatement I had a 105 auto had to sell it broke my bank daily driving it lol went back to my mavrick td get 4 times the distance and don’t hafto baby it
Good to see you listen to your partner and done what your told. A long healthy relationship.
I noticed mate that you where driving from the bago quay near the motocross track I’m guessing that’s where you got the 80 from? the best thing you can do is take it back there with all the other rust buckets go to die. 😂😂
Send it for a few laps around the track, that will be the end of it for good
Nice work Tyler. I have watched your channel from the beginning... great to see you spice it up a bit with the Toyota. And by the way nice intro/conclusion with your guests, you have clearly come a long way...Keep it going and I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the Toyota next. Cheers,

80s are amazing, I'm rebushing and new suspension, few rust spots.
Go anywhere... slowly 😂 enjoy!
Finally some class 😂 look forward to the build
perfect.. keep the patrols for the 4wding and the toyota for Mall crawling.
Lol that was a great intro! Looking forward to the 80 build.
Tyres, 16 rims and 305 tyres Tyler. 33's are perfect forvwhat you need mate. Dont go narrow 285, 305 the proper 33 inch tyres are great on these, fill guards out and really good off road.
Hahahaha the intro music nails it 😂😂😂😂😂
Be prepared to repair windows every few Months 😀 when they fall off the runners.
Cracking video Tyler!
Loved the colab intro with your fellow you tubbers!
The outro, which am currently watching as I type is also hilarious!
Do 33s. It’s in between too small and too big. I think the ambush bullar looks sick on these
Best intro & edit to date 😂 🤌🏻
Single space cab 33's on 2" hpd hood turbo 3" exhaust canopy tray keep her white and keep her simple
Tim's reaction in the opening is very funny 😅😅
Welcome to toyota 80 series 1FZFE own one for 9 years and done tough tracks and broke nothing. You will live it
Auto's are way better on the beach so your first road trip with it should be to Frasier Island!
Mate, what have you done. Demi is so controlling and here I was thinking she was a nice person. Poor Zeph growing up with a Landcruiser now. 😅😅 Great video, love the collaboration with everyone. NISSANS RULE.....
Nissans are the most unreliable vehicle I’ve ever come across
It was great
@@rickywhittaker4978lol every gq owner is a liar hey
Good work and great intro, i am currently looking at parting with my NP3000 for a grandpa spec 80 as well. I have had 2 80's in the past and love them, great touring vehicles.
Bumper ot hoopless bullbar would look sick
Keep it basic
Suspension upgrade, fresh brakes and a few tweaks on the motor.........
The lady's got an awesome rig
🤙🕶
All right a bit of a variety , Nissan and Toyota. Welcome to the club guys👌
Awesome. Would love to do a video with you some time with my built TRD Hilux. Some people take the whole Toyota/Nissan rivalry way to seriously.
Finally you bought a bitumen warrior for shopping trolley duties and something to drop the kids off at school with…..
Oh you might want to go off road….mmm you might look at a gu diff swap for the front then!
Great vid mate looking forward to videos of taking Zeph to day care!
Also I noted Zeph whining when he was in it… at least he knows cars lol
Fish plate it. the Panhard box can brake we did it with our one
Well done guys this 80 does look very honest inside and out , as for buying Toyota instead of more Nissan's, I enjoy change too , let's call it best of both worlds
Marty’s flexy 79 would whip up a spicy custom grille for you, part time kit into it would be good for the running gear
The oil pan gaskets are a misery on those unless you have the engine out. There's even a specific pattern in the FSM for the FIPG stuff. I'd also be curious if the head gasket is original. IIRC Australian-spec FZJ80s had less issues with those since there's no EGR to heat up cyls 5 & 6 like here in the states.
Loved the collab clips mate. Great bit of entertainment added. Up the 80's
Finally got a cruiser😅😅
Replace bushes front to rear and she will be a completely different drive.
Great looking 80, can wait to see what you do with it!
epic car. Part time kit is worth while and watchout for rust in the back window and the 2 rear slide windows.
Loved the intro! 😂😂 can't wait to see what you guys do to it!
Nice interface with other utube crews!
80 series is the G-O-A-T
Congrats on the 80, great change an addition to the channel. I’m a Toyota guy that likes GQs and GUs, so enjoy the process, I wouldn’t throw 35s on it straight away, 33s are very capable on 80s, esp for Demi as a daily driver, def do your suspension, bushes, get spring rates right esp in the rear, plate the chassis around the steering box if ya going to go hard off road, Id do it anyways, keep ya fluids & filters fresh and she’ll go and go and go.

About time you bought a NISSAN RESCUE VEHICLE. Took you quite a while to see the light. Congratulations.
First time here
Loving it
Plus I love eucalyptus trees , they are special
finally turned to the proper 4by
Awesome! Glad for you guys
Best video yet. Love the other channels Imput
Epic gang, great to see some familiar faces & now Demi won't want to know you haha! Thanks for the new vid, our fam loves your content, always a good natured bit of banter between you two! ✌️👍
Nice, neat 80 Tyler intro was gold mate.....ya traitor😉🤣😎👍
I quit like Katie the 80.
Keep up the good work mate.
Demi will like the 80 bus once you’ve finished with it I think.
Luv the montage “ pretty cool stitch up “ hope you’re leaving this one alone so the kids can get in 🤠
When your done with your setup, would be great to get a no BS fuel economy idea. 👌
something to look out for is the fuel consumption
Wo wo wo wo..hold on hold on....so demi is proud nissan lady?hahahah...enjoy yout toyota demi...love your content as always tyler
Ha ha ripper episode - Harry n Sam cracked me up
😂😂😂 How good are the Cameos! 👌
You can make the Crome look new with using still wool on it
Had an 80, had a 100, now got a 76 gotta say the 80 was the best all rounder, don’t break it mate 😂😂
That's mad!!! Definitely a turbo build!!!!!!
All nissan bogans will definitely hate you for owning a cruiser now..dont you remember in past episode when a cruiser past by,your mechanic friends nick said typical cruiser owner 😂
Congratulations Demi and welcome to the 4wd crew lol with the grill you should get her a custom one with either Demi or the name of the car in it 🤷🏻♂️
Good to see you branching out, my question is why 3 solid axle coil sprung cars ?
So looking forward for the mods
you whipped out the crew for that intro!
Like both the 80 an the gq but I bet the 80 is more reliable then the gq 😂
A change is as good as a holiday!
Nice 80!
