I saw one HDJ105 for sale in Spain that appeared to be factory. It said hdj105 on the VIN tag on the firewall - I think it had the 1HD-T. I didn't save the pictures. It was too nice and too expensive for me...
I had heard the underpowered on the highway take and was a bit hesitant to import mine due to this, but it was unfounded. On the highway the HZJ105 is fine. I drove mine across canada, could easily speed if I wanted, and it felt like one of the more capable/speedy highway vehicles I have owned. Although most of my vehicles have been old leaf sprung 4x4s or other diesels so I am used to "momentum driving". I could see the 1HZ being a dog if you really weighed it down or lived at elevation with a lot of steep highway grades. Mine has 300k kms, is stock, and has a recently rebuilt injector pump.

Very thankful to have recently found my dream HZJ105.
1. Year, model, color, etc: 1998 HZJ105 XPP (Xtreme Poverty Pack, down to the front 3person bench seat), Natural White over Light Grey vinyl seats/floors.
2. Name of owner/screen name: mk216v & Ozzie the Aussie.
3. How long have you owned your 100 Series? First Cruiser?: A month? Third Cruiser.
4. Mileage at date of purchase and present mileage: Less than 105,000km original.
5. Your favorite mods: OEM LSD/sub fuel tank, optional Toyota aluminum Aussie bull bar bumper/tow hitch package/side steps, Outback overhead console. OEM+ mods en route...
6. How your 100 is used, ie. DD, family adventure, overland travel, etc.: Original/1st owner was the Australian CFS (Country Fire Service) where it was used as a Logistics rig and probable beer runner. I'll use it to put a smile on my face, as RHD and manual and slower is damn fun!

First looks to be an XPP like mine, as black mirrors, no side trim, same steelies as mine, later 1pc headlights/signals.
LCHM's has chrome mirrors/grille, side trim, 5spoke wheels, early fluted 2oc headlights/signals like mine.
Fun to see the subtle differences.
This is Ida, the daughter of a friend of mine who was borrowing Mr. Blue, the 2003 105. She is in love with Mr. Blue.
Mister Blue is my daily in Dubai. Right now I am in North America, just. back from British Columbia where I drove Missus White the 2007 105 around a bit and had a great time.
2001 1HZ 105 series here in Central America.I googled it and found this article that provides excellent details on the 105. Yes, the ideal combo is the 1HZ diesel with a 5 speed manual.
105 Series LandCruiser: Your guide to the Toyota 4WD - Car Advice
Toyota's 105 Series LandCruiser bridged the gap between the old 80 Series and the new 100 Series. And in the process won an army of admirers. Even though there's a firmly held view in the trade that the 80 Series LandCruiser was as good as it ever got, that didn't mean that Toyota didn't stop...www.carsguide.com.au

Last week I was at a car market in my country and I found an LC105 with 1hz engine 2006 year model
That is an EXTREMELY nice example of a late model 105
NOPE, frame on a 105 is narrower, evidently for the straight-six 1HZ diesel. Believe me, ARB bumpers had to be majorly modified.

I don’t see where you are correcting what I said. The VX trim level is almost equivalent to the US 100. Maybe we have different ideas of what “trim” is. Trim Level
My EU spec HDJ100, down in Marocco:
It comes like that for the European market. We have to de-VW on our ownTouareg grille didn't fit so well?
