Consider that it took 25 years for my 80 to reach 300k and maf, injectors, engine wiring harness are all still readily available from Toyota. I’d be more concerned about governance and our ability to legally drive or afford to run gas powered...

I find the logic of not building sn 1fzfe now "because parts are gonna be NLA in the future" weird. All the parts are available now. Parts availability isn't really a roadblock to building one now. It's like saying "i wouldn't install an LS...

I chose to rebuild my engine 100%. Bottom end/top end. Everything is brand new. Almost everything under the hood now is replaced and brand new. I have now roughly 4k miles on everything under the hood. It was not low cost and sure I may have been...

I'll let you all know where Olathe Toyota lands for me. We have a local agreement with them for our club. Maybe they will consider a nationwide (worldwide) discount.

I’m not looking for wheels — but if I were, I wouldn’t want those wheels on a 60. To me they seem out of place. But that’s probably just me.

How do they compare to Valley Hybrids? I got a quote from them for the H55 plus tcase with lower gears.

I recently purchased a new + assembled H55 + TC from Kurt @cruiseroutfit with all other necessary components. As they are out of Utah...no tax which made it cheaper than other options. Great ppl there + very helpful. While there shld prlly...

I am sitting on a 4.7V8 from a 2003 4runner right now and plan to do the same swap. I spoke with people who have done the swap and they agree that it is a worthwhile improvement in power. You just can't throw factory number rating out there and...

I must say I am surprised it took this long for this to come up. :) Well it is an interesting story. I started out with the intention of swapping a 5.3 w/4L60. That is the simplest and most straight forward swap. And yes, I know all the rational...

Update on the engine mounts. I had originally decided to use the 100 series engine mounts. I placed the mount brackets in the same location as the 80 with the exception that they were lowered down to get the 4.7 to the correct height I wanted...

Watching this one. LS motors are impressive and I have nothing against them, but I couldn't bring myself to put one in a Landcruiser. It's like ordering a Budweiser with sushi... I won't judge anyone else for it, but I'm not going to do it.

Engine is set and the transfer case shifter is very close to original position. Now to make transmission mount.

Maybe not spotless, but...Motor mounts made and engine placed. I used the 100 series motor mounts. I did have to cut off the 80 mounting plates as the frame on the 80 is narrower than the 100 and the engine would sit to high. Fabricated some...

Nice color and patina, glws! 356 Registry, I have a C Coupe... Landcruisers and 356s are good combo!

Not sure if you want to stay OEM, but there are also aftermarket extended breathers available. ARB has one (ARB 170112 Differential Breather Kit), as do several other vendors (search eBay, Air On Board has one, and there are several unbranded...

Ya a basic hone and fresh rings and bearings might be all it takes to get a 1fz several hundred thousand more miles.

It sounds like an engine you could potentially pull out, throw a gasket & seal kit in it, new bearings, new hoses and drop it back in. If you have the capability, it's a couple of weekends to take care of it, & you'd potentially have change from...

I imagine if you could find a supercharger kit brand new at a much more reasonable price, you might see more people going that route over engine swapping. $5k for a used unit is a tough pill to swallow. Nevermind the fact that don't come up for...

With over 300k miles on my 1FZ, I often contemplate the eventual need for a rebuild or perhaps considering a swap. I've been with my truck since it had 190k miles, and for the last 60k, I've enjoyed the added power of a supercharger. Living at...

Will the auxiliary tank actually cause you to fail a smog check, or is it just illegal? I don’t really care if it’s legal or not as long as I pass smog.

That was it thankfully! She accidentally had it on. I should have known this but I'm more in touch with my Tacoma and 80. Thanks again!

Hopefully that's it. True story but that exact thing is how I ended up finding this forum when I got my LC in 2018. Google search for why I couldn't turn the damn AC off on my new LC is how I ended up on here. Thus why I called myself CruiserNewb...

I forgot about that! I will check when she gets home. Thanks!

My situation might be related....My wife's 2013 is having an issue. I cannot get the fan to shut off, I can make it blow stronger but when I hit the off button, nothing, still blowing on the lowest setting. I cannot turn the system off. Here we...

welcome aboard this crazy train :flipoff2: yes, you are in the correct rabbit hole with your query.
