I wrote somewhere in this forum some time back that I will get back to an 80 and here I am, when I sold my previous one I thought I would move on, but I did not get enough.
Found a gem, 1997: in good condition for the price, and most importantly it has a freshly rebuilt GEN 2 1FZ-FE equipped...

Hello everyone, just thought Id share the results of my new 1FZ-FE Stroker build. 583 Foot pounds of TORQUE on pump gas TO THE...
My friend had a 1994 80 series with manual transmission he was the third owner of the vehicle, it was always parked in his garage(around 12 years), he never used it and I have been eyeing it for a while but never pulled the trigger. Until now that is, I asked him if I could try it he said yes...
Hey guys,
I tested my LC100 with the gen 2 1FZ-FE on the Dyno today to get a baseline and I’ll retest it after the head mods to see the difference.
My 1FZ motor is completely stock internally, it was rebuilt around 5 months ago
Only mods currently: 4 inch cold air intake and a full exhaust...
Hey guys,
I found a gem today as I was browsing the car sales website and I am really excited.
A bone stock unmodified 2001 G Standard LC100, which is very rare to find on sale since we locals value this trim of the land cruiser the most. Which is the barebones trim of the LC100 equivalent to...
Hey guys, I am creating this thread not because I have a technical issue, just for the sake of curiosity. I hope you guys don't mind that I am bringing up a different series land cruiser in the 80 series section, its just that there is no other section with 1FZE experience.
When I say FJZ100L I...
Hey guys,
The kit I am looking at: marks4wd part time kit.
Link to kit: LandCruiser 100 series part-time 4WD conversion kit
In Qatar all 100 series cruisers from: 1998-2002 (Part-time transfer case with H2, H4, N, L4 Lever), 2003-2005 (Part-time transfer case with H, L4 lever, and a button on...
So I love tinkering and convincing myself that I added power.
cold air = more oxygen = more power
I am a firm believer that a aftermarket air intake only adds power/torque if air temps are reduced. AFE is the only kit that I know of that takes air from the factory airbox location the fender...
So I am using my friends @ALBO land cruiser for about the next week and a half, we got his 1fze fully rebuilt with 6 new OEM pistons with a .50mm overbore and a head port and polish, new oil pump, new timing chain, polished valves All OEM parts. All else stock. Stock intake stock everything...
UPDATE 1/16/2021: I sold the engine and all aftermarket parts and went back to stock, I will no longer be posting here.
Hey guys,
*On my 100 series cruiser.
My 1FZE engine rebuild + upgrade has finally finished, and is hopefully ready for the upcoming dune season!
I'll be posting updates...
Hey guys,
So I have a 100 series equipped with the 1FZE engine, I primary drive on soft sand beaches and sand dunes.
My clutch is currently worn out, and I will be replacing it with a brand new OEM clutch. However, I am contemplating whether I should go with a brand new OEM flywheel or an...
Hey guys,
I am looking for heavy duty or polyurethane motor mounts for my 1FZE engine on my 2006 100 series land cruiser, I couldn’t find ones locally or by searching on google.
I’m posting here because the 100 series section is mostly the 4.7 V8 engines.
Does anyone know a brand/company or...
Hey guys , my friends 2003 LC100 has recently had starting issues , where it has become increasingly difficult to start, and it idles very roughly. It almost sounds like a very lean air fuel ratio.
It has a 1FZE inline 6 engine
However sometimes it starts up and drives perfectly which is...

Recently I decided I would remove the spacer on the rear 3.0 KING bypass shocks, that extended the shock shaft about an inch. Which means one inch of extra down travel and increased internal piston movement so added travel.
This in combination with the total chaos extended rear links (upper &...
Superchargers absolutely transform these rigs, its awesome seeing these compete and shred out in the dunes on weekends.
First clip shows LX570 2015 vs tundra and Ford f150.
Second clip shows 2017 LX vs BMW M5 on the drag strip.
Credits goes to the owner of the clips.
My 2007 LC100 has outstanding ride quality out in the trails and sand dunes. 60MPH+ over large bumps, whoops, jumps and it is much much more comfortable and stable then my LC200. I tried everything absolutely everything with my LC200, different shock brands, revalved the shocks many times...
Disclaimer: My intention is to share my experience, and what worked best for my application and use. I am and will never claim to hate on a specific shock brand, and say one is better then the other overall and instead provide details of how they all performed in my testing and where they excel...
I recently got rid of the KDSS sway bar system on my 200 series land cruiser, while it did improve small bump compliance over washboard roads and uneven terrain, I noticed that the tires would drop much faster when going over a pothole, ditch or even when the tires are free like driving out of a...
