Hi Low budget - thanks for your help , we looked at the tranny mount and it was cracked !!!
But not obvious until you try to lift the tranny up and then you can see the whole mount has broken away from the tranny
Ordered a new one and it's in being replaced
Thanks

Hey Lowbudget, thanks for your suggestion
We checked the transmission mount and it was cracked, so the gearbox was resting on the mount but was totally detached when going over a bump.
However changing the new mount, the gearbox is still moving a little going over bumps, so I guess this could be the engine mounts? Or is there some movement expected on these things when going over bumps?

Hi desert rogue,
I am an expat living in Dubai,
I drive a 2004 LC100 for 11 months with 200K KM. I had/have same issue as you described and partially fixed by adjusting shift linkage that connects the shift lever and the transmission. i will post a picture later which will give you more clear information on how to adjust the linkage.
I have spent lot of time in researching about LC100 with 1FZFE. I would also like to hear from someone with similar aged LC100 to acquire share information.
Cheers.

forgot to mention that i also replaced both engine and transmission mounts, which did not help.
Have something similar with the shifter moving in my car (1fz and auto), engine and trans mounts seem fine aswell.
I'm starting to think all FZJ100's have this issue.
Hi,
you can fix it to some extent, mine was moving quite a lot. i ended up replacing the lower control arm and upper control arm bushings, but did fix gear stick moving around. But adjusting linkage improved a lot.

Cruisers and LX's are incredibly popular in the UAE and they aren't afraid to use them hard out on the Dunes. 166km is absolutely nothing for a solid axle 105 series. We have lots here in Aus and anything under 200km is considered new.
The only reason I can think of that it needs some of that stuff is Hot climate and Dune runs. Fix it up and enjoy. Keep an eye on the head gasket. They are notorious for short lives in the heat. Check CV boots and wheel bearings for sand entry etc...
Otherwise very low km find. Best of luck. Sounds like a nice truck.

The OP's truck is a 100 series and not a 105, the 105 could only be bought with a 1HZ diesel in the UAE. The head gasket on the updated 1FZ is no longer a problem like it was with the previous gen. That said we do love to use them hard out on the dunes

Interesting all the international variants. We got just about them all here I think. Used to have a 4.5 105 series. Ate a head on me lol. Could not spring for the 4.2 diesel at the time then fell for the 2UZFE.
