Hi uHu, Thanks for your reply, I don't know what FSM means and how it would help me find the height of a standard 100 Series at the rear so that I could compare that measurement against my modified 100 Series

Hi This video may help

Hi, I am looking for a measurement from the Bump Stop to the Axle on a 100 Series IFS at the rear end, with Standard springs fitted. I have a 100 Series Ute and have lost the wheel arch reference point so need to take the measurement from the Bump Stop to Axle. I had KTRS-95 fitted but after...

Thanks Chris, I see I just needed to hover over the magnifying glass for it to say Search my bad

How do you search the Forum, I have looked for a Search Tab/Button but can't find it, is it a case that I can't see the Woods for the Trees, I am sure it must be in front of me somewhere.

Parson Cross not heard that for years, I was brought up in Grenoside, those were the days

I believe there must be more 80's per sq mile where I live in QLD than anywhere else in the world, lucky me :) and they look like they will go on for many years to come. You can buy good rust free examples, for between $8K to $15K, I am on the look out for a good low mileage (anything below 200K...

I have EFS on my 80 and have a distributor near me in QLD, what lift kit was you wanting? I can ask them for a price, but postage will be expensive due to the weight

No the Face Lift applied to the Australian market too, with the Auto box a new addition was you get to press a button which skips the 1st gear and puts the drive in 2nd gear, good for driving on the beach.

Thanks for the pics they look nice and bright

Looking at both sets on offer more closely yours look to have 3 rows of 5 LED's (15 bulbs in total) and the other type, 5 rows of 5 LED's (25 bulbs in total) but your LED's look bigger and maybe brighter and better quality.

Hi Dervis, Can you please tell me if the reversing bulbs are better than standard on this type, the other aftermarket type seems to offer almost the top half of the unit to white reversing/indicator bulbs, but yours seem less so and for me they look more like the originals (plus my 80 is red)...

If you spend the time preparing the body work, then you could get the price down quite a bit because a lot of the expense in repainting a car is in the labour required to sand the old paintwork down to accept the new paint finish. You don't need to go back to the bare metal, but if you do over...

You could buy something like this in OZ with no rust and a V8 Diesel, just thought you could use it to compare prices in Japan. https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Toyota-Landcruiser-2008/SSE-AD-4522106/?Cr=11

And then there is the LX450 https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/26913496 https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/25047539 Not a V8 but still a very nice 80 series

here are a couple I just found https://www.carfax.com/vehicles/JTJHT00W723518944-used-2002-lexus-lx-470--virginia-beach https://www.carfax.com/vehicles/JTJHT00W733524731-used-2003-lexus-lx-470--dublin The second one comes with the later 5 speed box

Hi Silviu, I own a 100 series V8 (275K on the clock) and in the 7 years I have had it my only real expense was a new starter motor (touch wood) The US will have lots of V8's for sale and you would also get a good buy on a LX470, same car with a better paint job and more sound proofing (also...

I have the same problem with my sunroof (Australia sun) but I also found the roof was not going fully back into place (warn linkage) so I removed the garnish (which had become very brittle and broke) to get to the bolts that hold the sunroof into place and added more shims (large washers) this...

My seats in the 80 are leather (Not good here in Australia) and are badly cracked I was going to get Sheepskin covers for them (which a lot of Cruisers have in OZ) but I would not mind replacing all the seats with a set of Velour 40th Anniversary (at the right price and condition) My 100 series...

Thanks that's an interesting site, I looked up the electric motor (not found the part I need on there yet) and the price was $261.94 a lot cheaper than the Toyota parts department. They also show a Daihatsu with the same parts number, (cheaper) so does that mean either part will fit because they...

New gear pressed on, it was easier than I thought it would be, now the other side to do.

For anyone with an electric seat that's not going Forwards and Backwards then this little plastic gear might be the problem. You can see from the pic that in comparison to the replacement gear the original one is badly worn in the middle. I now need to press the old one off and then press the...

The PS seat had the part that I am looking for still in place (so I will swap it to the DS and wait for a PS replacement) here are some pics of the part, I think a UK salvage yard might have it, or I could have a go at fabricating something out of threaded rod

Thanks, but Toyota no longer supply that part new, however they do still supply the motor that drives the part that I am looking for at a cost of AUD $770.00, so not sure if our parts are cheaper. B.T.W. Its not the very big spiders that I worry about, its the small deadly ones :)

I am in the process of repairing my electric seats to allow them to move forwards and backwards. I researched it online and found Gamiviti make replacement plastic gears and ordered 2 sets (1 gear and 1 end cap per set) However having taken the DS seat out have found there are 2 gears per seat...

Well if you decide to take the turbo off please let me know, I would buy it and fit it to my eighty :)

Welcome Paul, your Turbo will make a difference when pulling your boat and if you take it off I am sure you will wish you hadn't.

Thanks Clive, it is a 1998 100 series, so one of the first 4.7 V8's. I am looking to replace the body with a 2006 MY white LX 470 (cut it down and place it on the same chassis) this would give me a car which will have a few more refinements and a 8 year newer cab.

Well done on spotting that from the pic :) my Ute is 6202 mm long, which makes it 87 mm shorter than a full size Tundra

View of chassis extension plate making the wheel base 900mm longer than standard, would not be easy to park in the UK

Here are some pic's of my 100 Ute that I took today while on the dog walk
