    EDIT: My LJ78W Journey

    I have decided to skip the transfer case rebuild for now and just get it roadworthy and running in 2wd. Got compression test results finally: 1. 422psi 2. 410psi 3. 405psi 4. 398psi I guess that's not too bad all things considered.

    Will these hubs work on LJ78?

    Thanks all. Due to the cost of rebuilding the transfer case I've decided to just get it roadworthy as is and just run it in 2wd for the time being. Got compression test results finally: 1. 422psi 2. 410psi 3. 405psi 4. 398psi I guess that's not too bad all things considered.

    Will these hubs work on LJ78?

    Hey all, Hoping someone can help me determine if these will fit the LJ78. Thank you so much

    EDIT: My LJ78W Journey

    Unfortunately the mechanic has stated the LJ needs more work than I'd expected, quite an expensive little undertaking..

    EDIT: My LJ78W Journey

    Thank you for your reply. I had seen this online so I assumed -13 would be okay: I am yet to purchase wheels or tyres but I want to make absolutely sure I do it right! I am excited to try the 225 95 16s, I may even put some on my 150 series. Your LJ looks great 👍

    EDIT: My LJ78W Journey

    I didn't get any replies and I worried that I'd miss out or something if I didn't buy the lift kit quickly, so I did some general research on EFS and they seem to be pretty good, which gave me the confidence to bite the bullet and just get the kit. Ended up paying $730 AUD including shipping for...

    EDIT: My LJ78W Journey

    Hey all, I've recently purchased a 1991 LandCruiser II/LJ78 that needs a good clean up and I intend on restoring it as best I can. I'm well aware that the 2LT-E is a pretty weak engine, and I'll look at engine swaps if anything major goes wrong with this, but for now I'd like to set the vehicle...

    100/105/LX470 on SKINNY tyres?

    They make the 255/85R16 look so good. The 225s are probably a bit too skinny. I am now leaning towards getting 4x Firestone MT/2 @$371 AUD ea fitted and 4x 225s on wheels@$600ish just to have options.

    100/105/LX470 on SKINNY tyres?

    Hey all, Sorry for the senseless spam, I am still hunting a decent set of tyres to put on the 105 and I have been suggested a set of 225/95R16s by a friendly fellow with an 80 (who is claiming 11l per 100km with his 1hz), this sounds kind of cool, but I am worried that they will look odd on the...

    295/75R16 v 285/75R16?

    I was once told that availability is the best ability, and for tyres, I think that is good advice. I have the option to purchase some skinnys for cheapish, $600 AUD for 4x wheels and tyres (225/95R16), do you have an opinion on them at all? I have been trying to find pictures but it is difficult.

    295/75R16 v 285/75R16?

    G'day folks, The cruiser needs some new tyres and I am wanting to increase the size but not sure of the best size. I am currently trying to decide between the following: 285/75R16 305/70R16 295/75R16 I have Commando Superduty 4x4 Shocks and King Springs (2" Suspension Lift). I kind of...

    '24 79 Series GXL rims on 100/105 series?

    I have just realised that the 79 is part time 4x4 with front locking hubs, will these wheels be compatible with the 105?

    Thank you sir. I love 2UZ, one of these days I will buy an LX 470 :) The previous owner has had this 105 for 22 years, so I can rest assured knowing that it has been loved. It's amazing how much the engine in my 105 looks like a 1HD-T rather than a 1HZ-T

    @AussieHJCruza thank you, I will look into all of these. How much should I look at spending on the above?

    New Member and New Owner of a 105! Happy to be here!

    G'day all, I've just bought my first 105, a 1999 turbo 1hz auto model with 398,000kms. I have always loved the idea of owning a 1hz vehicle and I generally prefer 4x4 vehicles to be automatic, so when this came up I knew i had to look. I've test driven a naturally aspirated 1HZ auto 105 before...
