Its the 1fz-fe. Stretched the head bolts and head gasket let go. Replaced head gasket with a Cometic MLS and some ARP studs instead of head bolts. Waiting on turbo to be built to strap to the side....
Well you know... just the usual, head gasket replacement, rebuild fuel injectors, extractors, new alloy radiator. Head rebuilt, replace harmonic balance seal and oil pump cover gasket.
To the OP, have a good look at the Kaymar rear bumper. These require no cutting of the rear crossmember and incorporate a rated 3500kg tow hitch. I put one of my 100 and Kaymar is pretty much the 'go to' brand here in Oz.
Dd my 2000 105. Cover 35 to 40k a year. Love it. Used to have a 62 that was a dd as well. Covered 320k in it without a problem. Landcruisers are a way of life here.
The way our road regulations are here in Australia, when you're fitting the kaymar stuff you wont have to cut or remove crossmembers etc, but drilling out and enlarging holes is normal on some.
The transport authorities here class removal of crossmembers as fairly serious and that leads to...

hahaha thanks guys! Yeah we do things all wrong here, steering wheel on the wrong side, photos upside down, water that swirls down drains the opposite way....
Thanks for the comments Beno, I really wasnt prepared for how big a step it is from the 60 to the 100, I'm in love all over again!!!
Thanks Bonze. The vapour system is fairly advanced, it runs its own individual gas injectors that are drilled and mounted into the inlet manifold, has its own computer that links into the existing sensors to control delivery rates etc. This is a SprintGas system. It either runs on straight LPG...
Hi all,
Been the owner of a 62 series for the last 12 odd years and loved that truck to death... sadly the time came when it just wasn't feasible to stick with the 62.
Enter the new 105, this is a 2000 model, 5 speed manual with the 1FZ. I had a very good idea of what I wanted and found...
