Still searching? I am going to send a raptor green 1998 HZJ105 to a friend of me in California. He will import it and sell it. Maybe to you..

A manual. All 105's are manual. Added into title. Yes, you have to wait some months before you can drive it legally on the road, but you can just bring it into the USA without problems. But I think there isn't another 105 with 16k on the clock...

I am careful with the crappy pictures I have now. When I know the value and have a plan, I'll order a professional photographer to make this thing visible to the max :)

I am gauging the worth of a nearly new Land Cruiser 105.. Bought this in Sweden, where the Swedish army has used it as a communicationcar. But they used it barely, because there's 25.000km (16.000 miles) on the clock. (backed with maintenance registration) I am in the Netherlands and before I...

I know, but this is with the bigger nose. So we can't just rely on the fact that it has worked in later models. Well, we would upgrade from the 1985 diesel to the 1GR-FE (and drive it on LPG (Propane and Butane)) But the problem seems to be that nobody knows if the 1GR will fit :) I had hoped...

Does a 1GR-FE fit into a 1987 HZJ75? We think about retrofitting this engine into this 75. But we are not sure it will fit under the smaller bonnet. Are there any succesfull stories?

I think you have to offer this amazing volunteer to help him with digitalizing this one :) Good luck!

The low rev torque of diesels makes them ideal for scrambling over rough terrain or rocks without stalling. I've seen 100 diesels with more than 1 million km's (700.000mi), that tow 8000 lbs. EVERY DAY, from new, without any complaints. A diesel is stronger. A gasoline is faster. So as long as...

Not available yet indeed. But I plan to sell a 105 from 1998, Diesel, Manual, in februari or so (Atlanta).

Any updates on this? I'm in Europe and I also want to ditch these stupid measurements.

Wow... You rock! Thanks. The parts doesnt seems to be that expensive too. ( if it really is deliverable what would surprise me too :) )

That would change the entire discussion :)

I thought the LX470 problem was due to the blue light around the speed meter? I have the PPE+PS 6S and 6G motors laying around. Now someone asks me if I can fix his gauge cluster. A LC with those blue lights (I thought LX only, but appearantly it is just facelift) Do you guys think I can fix...

It is not for myself but for a friend from Russia that is not on this site. I pointed him in the repairing direction. I have not that much trust in the Magnuson route, because in first it is a different set and that results in variation of measurements. Only if they bought the design it will...
