I apologize for my ignorance during the making of this video... the 105 & 70 Series LC still have a Solid Front Axle I meant no disrespect to all the other countries that received those wonderful vehicles
One last thing mate... You've researched some great 80 info over time, but could you please try saying TOY-ota ? It's never been TEE in any language, as you keep saying.
Mate , I have had a 1HZ 80 for the last 25 years and I love it to this day. Only problem is everyone wants to buy it off me -) You guys over there only got the petrols, my slow and steady diesel is legendary for reliability. In a quarter of century it has NEVER let me down. It has always got me home. G'day from Perth Western Australia
My 80 series used to be petrol but now it has a 6.5ltr Chev Cobra V8 Turbo ( Humvee Spec ) .... it now has proper torque and power that it really deserved .
The U.S. spec FZJ80 was only available with a 4-speed automatic, A442 and A343 respectively if I'm not mistaken. . A 5-speed manual was offered in other markets outside the U.S. for the 80 series. The 5-speed automatic came along in late 2002 for the 2003 model year of the UZJ100. Early 92 production FZJ80 models came with drum brakes in the rear, some had semi-float rear axles and up until 95, ABS was an optional. These oddball models are few and far between as most U.S.-spec cruisers were ordered with almost all of the available options at the time. Good basic introduction video to the 80 series! It gets very technical after the basics for the 80 series platform.
Thanks for the nice video. Yes, as pointed out below the 105 has solid axles and was produced until 2007. Several variations, very rare in the US I understand. UN used them in large numbers, well known in SA, Russia, Aus and all over the developing world. So people like to say it's an 80 underneath and a 100 on top. Mine has triple lockers, 4.2L diesel manual, air bags, full time 4x4, 1HZ engine, 2 tanks as standard. It's underpowered, lacking character perhaps, but it's the dog's bollocks for long distances in rough conditions.
He, He, My FJ60 still makes 120 KPH on a straight away. And the 80's (4.5 Lts Gas Engine and 5Spd Std Tranny) run circles at more than 180 Kph arround me
I'm in Melbourne Australia and have a 1992 FJ80R DX model or as I'm told it's called the "Povo Pack" as it has vinyl flooring, 1hz non-turbo diesel, 5sp manual free-wheeling hubs and No electric windows, No locking diffs, No 3rd row seats or sliding windows etc..... but I love it and it does me what I want from it as a daily driver and tourer. It has however got a 2.5" lift and 33's, rock sliders, bullbar and winch which is pretty much all I need for it.
I just bought a 92’ Land Cruiser 100% rust free (desert truck) for $3,000. Runs great, we just did a 350 miles road trip on deep snow and I am in love with the 80 series. I’m looking for a TDI swap because the gas mileage is awful. A TDI can put out 180whp and 330wtq. (Better than the 150/227 from the 4.0 3FE).
This is not really a true statement, my fzj80 Australian delivered has 570,000 km, the 1fz-fe is a very nice, smooth, gutsy and reliable engine, it's every bit a proper 80 series landcruiser.
Thanks for this video. I've held on to my 95 FZJ80 as a second car for many years now. Almost sold it a couple times. Glad I still have it and I've been enjoying taking special care of it lately. It only has 140K miles on it, so the rising value has gotten my attention. Probably just going to keep it and enjoy the ride though. I like the new found interest in these vehicles. It's funny to me that I'm still learning more about them today. I'm finally paying attention!
Best explaination about Land Cruiser particularly the 80 so far, you really know your stuff buddy. cheers from Malaysia, all LC cost a bomb right here. Not to mention the yearly road tax cost
Small correction, in Venezuela these were build until 2007, I currently have a 2006, manual version. Mainly the Fzj 80. 4.5l 24v. They are by far the most popular off-roader here. Luckily fuel only costs .50c/l!
Hey Man, Good video and information. My neighbor daily drives a triple locked FZJ80 with a 6" lift and 35" x 12.5" M/T tires on the stock wheels. His wife daily drives an 99 LX470. He also has a 2016 LX570 and a 40 series. Then again he also is the owner of a very successful LandCruiser restoration shop where I'm at in NW South Carolina. I'm plotting my course to buy a 97 FZJ80 or LX450. My plans are to do a Cummins 6BT swap with the factory automatic. Keep up the good posts.
Those are still made for South Africa, Australia, UAE but they do not meet requirements for Europe emmisions (although there are a few companies that convert them) and are newer than 25 years and can not be imported into the US. I know about them, i just can't have them where i live.
You can buy a Venezuelan FZJ80 that was produced until 2008. It will be very expensive but they were extremely popular here to continue production well after everyone else moved to the 100 and so on.
I had a 95 and a 97 and loved them both. The only thing I did not like about them was the birfields.......very costly and time consuming repairs. Currently have a GX470 (Landcruiser Prado 120 in foreign markets). Liking it so far
1993-1994 have the a442 bus transmisison, 95-97 have the a343 4runner transmission, all 4 speed auto....if you plan on working it hard and towing with it I would recommend the bus transmission...
What would the advantage be for the 91 and 92? The description of that engine appealed to me. I'm a no frills guy and don't want to do any rock climbing, etc.
The first years FZJ - 93 and 94 did not have air bags. 94 was also the last year Toyota was spelled out in the grill for the LC. In 95, Toyota added the "T" in the grill we still see today.
A slight correction... Firstly the subsequent 100 series could also be had with a solid front axle - it was called the 105,but maybe not in North America Also outside the US the not all 80 series came with full time 4x4. I have the 3rd world version here in South Africa. (1997) It has a carburettor 1FZ and part time 4x4 with locking front hubs. Also no ABS or airbags. It loses out in torque / power above 2800 rpm but that doesn't matter for what I do with it. I specifically bought the carburettor version because it copes better with bad fuel and there is no electronics to drown or go wrong.
If you can get the 97 Vx diesel model, then you got the best. I have the 96Vx petrol, adding some of the extras like roof consol with fuel and altimeter. Fridge consol. Some models have the sub-tank,which can be added if you can source the OEM parts.
I have a poverty pack 1991 3fe fj80 without the third row seets , no sunroof, and no sliding third row windows! I love mine! I have the stock height suspension with 33x10.50s on mine too
The 1FZ-FE 4.5L is a piece of art. Do the head gasket at 200K and they last forever. Treat yourself to a SS set of 2-1 headers and gain some power. So smooth! The LX450 is truly a luxurious beast.
@@kylestevenson1778 Did you manage to buy the Landcruiser mate? I have the same model here in Perth Western Australia which I bought around 12 months ago. Let me know what you think of her if you managed to buy it cheers Tony
Thanks for the video. I just bought a 93 LC, triple locked for $3500 in March...300k miles but running great. It passed inspection here in MD. I repainted and did some base maintenance and got a new accelerator cable and throttle body after inspection. I use as weekend beach vehicle. I wonder how much I could sell for now?
I tried to kill my '91 FJ80 every which way possible so I could justify getting an FZJ80. I simply couldn't bring it down! It was like a young bull. Then when I found a triple locked '97 FZJ80 with 167k miles, I sold it for $500 just to get rid of it. That was stupid! Love my '97 LC, but should have kept that under powered, super reliable '91 LC. We had crazy adventures together in the deserts of California. I miss it very much! Anyway, this '97 is going to the grave with me. It's my pride and joy, on the pavement and on gravel. In essence, both of these are amazing vehicles that are in their elements in the toughest of terrains. Nice video, BTW!
My parents bought a 97 LX450 which I bought from them a few years ago. It has almost 300k on the odo and still chugs. Has 25-year-old-car problems every now and then but yet to be any thing all that expensive.
Last model in US with solid axle. Still got the 105 series in Australia until 2006. It is basically an 80 series chassis and driveline with 100 series body.
I'm from Melbourne AUSTRALIA and have a Diesel in mine and is 32years Old. Just got back from Melbourne to Cape York across to Darwin then back to Melbourne. 12000 thousands KLM never let me down
You haven’t driven an 80 Series until you’ve driven a manual, diesel 4.2l. It was released in Australia and it’s a joy to drive. It won’t win any speed trials though.
I've noticed that the 1996 year fzj80 has been the absolute most popular year. I've saved so many 1995 - 1997 land cruisers on auto trader and other sites and the 1996's are becoming very few to null. 😒😔
Another comment from Western Australia. I live in the desert (Cue) with my 1997 HZJ80 and my wife and dog. The only problem with it is the driver is wearing out.
Looking at a very stock 94’ today. Not triple locked but babied. I don’t even think it has a Ctr Lock. Thoughts? I was thinking of building it up and adding ARB lockers ect.
Australia didn't get the FJ80, only the FZJ in the petrol models. Even then the diesel HZJ80 outsold the petrol ones about 70% to 30% and the resale value of a FZJ is less and are very hard to sell. The one to own which is like winning lotto here is the HDJ80.
are the FZJ80 comes with factory stock center diiff locker???? i know the rear and front diff where optionals, but not sure if all fjz was stock in al tlc's.
Hi I have this land cruiser with me.the engine is 4.5litre petrol.the problem is the inside cabin and gear box get heated and I can feel the heat under me and my left size leg as this one is right hand steering.please let me know how I can stop or reduce the heat coming inside as some people says it Commons in these but some says no
HDJ80 is the by far the best model 80 series. Came with the 1HDT, which is a 4.2ltr turbo diesel. I have a 93' HZJ80, with the 4.2ltr diesel which is the second best. The 1HZ is more reliable than the 2&3f engines from the 60 series
My preference 1994 FZJ80: better engine, no abs / airbag = can put on whatever bull bar I like (no paper thin engineered $3,000 bull bar) overall it has less complexity
a bit of Correction, the 80 can run 46´ tires but at risk of braking the front diff but it has good axles the 60 is the other way around where the diff is strong but axles weak and transmissions are a weak point of the 80
@@LNDCRUZIN Venezuela, came out the same ones that are in your description from 91 to 2007, the first 2 years 3f engine and then up to 95 I think with carburettor and from 96 to 2007 it has 4500 injection function, here we call it the "indestructible" engine, here 2 versions came out, the Spanish models are "autana" (basic) and la (bubble) (Full Luxury model with fridge) but mechanically both are the same, I have a Fzj80 year 98
Hello...I have just bought a FJ80 1991 and some enthusiasts bash it for not having locking diffs...Is it still Off Road worthy? I live in Baja an intend to do some mild off roading...
Nice video even tho i wanted to know from you wich to buy. In my country de go from 5k to 7k dollars and the diesel ones 10k. One question is this better than the fj60?
True they started selling it in 90 but as you know they always sell them a year ahead so the release year was 91. Just like now a days they sell the 2022 vehicle in 2021. Here’s a good article for reference www.tlc4x4.com/ch.htm
I still got mine 4.5 1996 LC.. a gift from my mom boss for $500.00 and is in the garage with a many boxes from the old crib and a Charizard card somewhere lol... but yea start it today sound better the the Subaru outback 2019 i4 I'm driving.
Would you be willing to let it go to a new home? I’ve been looking at 80 series LCs for a few years now. I’m still very young so I’m saving and spending money on more important things but if I had the opportunity to get one I would jump at it.

You haven’t driven an 80 Series until you’ve driven a manual, diesel 4.2l. It was released in Australia and it’s a joy to drive. It won’t win any speed trials though.

I have a 97lx450,but the rear locker can not work,it's super workhouse.My next dream car it t100 trunk
Fzj80 has been built until 2007. Mine is from 2004. Very nice truck.
J80 was made upto 1999. The 100/105 took over from 2000-2007
@@liamcooper5202 You're wrong, J80 was made up to 2007! Mine is from 2004.
@@sylvainlanctinfr6616 ah yes sorry. In Venezuela it was. All other markets it would appear to end in 97. Dont know why i said 99

are the FZJ80 comes with factory stock center diiff locker???? i know the rear and front diff where optionals, but not sure if all fjz was stock in al tlc's.
Damn here an hdj80 would start from around 30k usd lol the US market seems still under value the truck. Good for you guys!
Hi I have this land cruiser with me.the engine is 4.5litre petrol.the problem is the inside cabin and gear box get heated and I can feel the heat under me and my left size leg as this one is right hand steering.please let me know how I can stop or reduce the heat coming inside as some people says it Commons in these but some says no
Youre tires and wheels look good..LX 450 wheels ? Goodyear Duratrac?? what size are yours? Did you do any lift? TIA
I've had a 96 LX450 for 7 years and want to restore the interior. Any recommendations where I may find parts? Ebay, pick 'n pulls, ??
Hi what front bumper guard is that?? I just bought a 91 fj80 two tone with 345k! Love your vids
great vehicles yes, but they were not the last cruiser suv with solid axles etc, google 105 series. Available until 2007.
You are correct I was talking about US market, I definitely want to do more research about the Australian market!
@@LNDCRUZIN they were also available in the african market. I have a 2002 105 series running on 35's with the uprated 1FZFE motor, proper beasts.
Sounds amazing!
thanks so much that was so helpful
HDJ80 is the by far the best model 80 series. Came with the 1HDT, which is a 4.2ltr turbo diesel. I have a 93' HZJ80, with the 4.2ltr diesel which is the second best. The 1HZ is more reliable than the 2&3f engines from the 60 series
Got a question for you did any of them come with the 5 speed manual
The “Best” would be the 1994 locked poverty pack.
My preference 1994 FZJ80: better engine, no abs / airbag = can put on whatever bull bar I like (no paper thin engineered $3,000 bull bar) overall it has less complexity
We're lucky here in aus ive got a 1996 1hz turbo diesel at the age of 16
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
a bit of Correction, the 80 can run 46´ tires but at risk of braking the front diff but it has good axles the 60 is the other way around where the diff is strong but axles weak and transmissions are a weak point of the 80
Wait so the US never got any of the diesel versions?
97 lc hard to find one i see one sell for $13999 no run . i buy one 93 lc for $700 now run good i put arb rocker front and back
Duuudeee that is awesome! I bet you can go anywhere with that thing!
You would be surprised to know that in my country that model came out until 2007 and they were sold automatic and also manual transmission
Where are you from?
@@LNDCRUZIN Venezuela, came out the same ones that are in your description from 91 to 2007, the first 2 years 3f engine and then up to 95 I think with carburettor and from 96 to 2007 it has 4500 injection function, here we call it the "indestructible" engine, here 2 versions came out, the Spanish models are "autana" (basic) and la (bubble) (Full Luxury model with fridge) but mechanically both are the same, I have a Fzj80 year 98

Hello...I have just bought a FJ80 1991 and some enthusiasts bash it for not having locking diffs...Is it still Off Road worthy? I live in Baja an intend to do some mild off roading...
Nice video even tho i wanted to know from you wich to buy. In my country de go from 5k to 7k dollars and the diesel ones 10k. One question is this better than the fj60?
Get diesel if you can, what country are you in?
@@LNDCRUZIN Guatemala. And this series are the ones that are in good condition probably gonna get one cause the fj55 is ecoebsive and bot many parts
Pues Adrián yo creo que el diésel sería el mejor en los estados son muy caros casi 25k usd
@@LNDCRUZIN gracias por el consejo
Great Truck!
FJ80 started in 1990, but cool video!
In America
True they started selling it in 90 but as you know they always sell them a year ahead so the release year was 91. Just like now a days they sell the 2022 vehicle in 2021. Here’s a good article for reference www.tlc4x4.com/ch.htm
I still got mine 4.5 1996 LC.. a gift from my mom boss for $500.00 and is in the garage with a many boxes from the old crib and a Charizard card somewhere lol... but yea start it today sound better the the Subaru outback 2019 i4 I'm driving.
Would you be willing to let it go to a new home? I’ve been looking at 80 series LCs for a few years now. I’m still very young so I’m saving and spending money on more important things but if I had the opportunity to get one I would jump at it.
I'd be happy with a new 4runner with a tailgate.
Hey man I’ve been offered a 95 4.2 diesel manual with diff lock and 133 k miles. I drove and I loved it. What do you think about it?
The owner wants 48 grand
It’s also 4WD 24 valve with dual fuel tank. It is insanely complete
I have a 80 series diesel turbo 4.2l i6 1hdft triple locked
How are the factory lockers?
Perfect
FJ80. Love the one with the word TOYOTA On the grill
