    1fz-fe 80 Series buying advice

    Like Essexpete says, probably depends on cost of fuel where you are. My LPG converted 1FZ-FE powered 80 gets high 'teens to the gallon in mixed driving and 10mpg towing two horses but with the cost of LPG in the UK is on a par cost-wise with my old KZN185 Hilux surf / 4-runner. Early petrol...

    Help with Diff rebuild

    Thanks to John for his input here. For info (it might help others) the diff went back together with new bearings (Toyo from roughtrax) and the original shims and came in smack on the lower limit for ring-gear backlash with pre-load in tolerance

    Help with Diff rebuild

    Hi John, do you have the FSM pages for the diff rebuild? I've got the Max Ellery manual but have heard various errors in the 3rd party manuals......just want to make sure I have the right settings for preloads and backlash. Thanks .

    Same problem with my old surf years back.....get the grinder out.....just make sure you cut the stubs short so you can wiggle the end bit out of the hole.....

    Help with Diff rebuild

    Very many thanks John, I'll certainly keep that as an option - I'll try the existing shims and see how we go. By the look of the pinion nut I think someone has been in there previously and the backlash felt a bit excessive - although I didn't measure it before I stripped the diff

    Help with Diff rebuild

    Hi all, I've pulled the diff out of the 80 today planning to re-bearing it but the crown wheel bearings are shimmed - no threaded adjusters, so I need someone with access to a Toyota shim set to rebuild it for me ☹️. Any recommendations......ideally South Wales/ Bristol/ south Midlands as I'm in...

    Re engine petrol 80 series

    If LPG is a thing in NZ, why not consider an LPG conversion? Granted you won't get more power / torque but it'll slash your fuel costs for a fraction of the cost and hassle of an engine change......

    FZJ80 Body moldings saught

    Pleasure Matt - I use megazip regularly either for parts that my main dealer can't get (Like yours they are extremely helpful). Their prices are often better than toyota UK, even with import charges etc taken into account. They've never let me down yet so I'm sure you wont be disappointed

    Double Din stereo swap

    1FZ gasser vs diesel

    No experience with the 1HD, but as far as the 1FZ goes, 205bhp - I find it plenty powerful enough to embarras a few other 4x4's on the road (90mph is totally doable), smooth, refined and sounds lovely with a 3" stainless exhaust. Fuel consumption is pretty eye-watering (anything between...

    Manifold and exhaust system

    Is your 80 petrol or diesel? My FZJ80 has a very nice 2.5" stainless system by longlife exhausts. Added long before I bought it and still going strong. Sounds nice too. As for headers for the 1fzfe, I've only found them in the USA or Oz. You could always get a custom exhaust shop to build you a...

    Headlamp Upgrade

    Why complete light units not just bulbs? I've just fitted LED bulbs to my '96 '80 and the difference is night and day (!). The only downsides are - they're not strictly legal (I'll pop the halogens back in for the MOT and take my chances with the rozzers), and the standard bulb-seals dont fit so...

    80 series not running

    Check the mounting bracket for the igniter unit (it's on the left hand inner wing). The unit gets its earth through the bracket - if the bracket corrodes through its not always obvious as the wiring tends to hold unit roughly in place but there's no earth = no spark. Happened to my '96 FZJ80...

    Rustproofing, updating methods and products.

    Did they actually do anything? If that was my truck I'd be asking Mr Krown for my money back. By way of comparison, my 80 looked similar 12 months after Dinitrol treatment. The garage took one look, emailed the pics to Dinitrol who confirmed they had used the wrong rust-converter first time...

    Harmonic balancer removal

    I had a locking plate made up for my 1FZ. If your pulley is the same you'd be welcome to borrow it. That plus a very long 3/4 breaker bar had it off no probs. both air and electric impact wrenches would'nt touch it. The other advantage of the breaker bar method is you don't have to take half the...

    Diff Lockers on 80 Series

    Not sure if both diesel and petrol have the "pwr" button but it feels on my '96 petrol like it does a bit more than just hanging onto the gears longer. Genuinely seems to make more power in the same gear (I'm wondering if it advances spark a bit?). Makes a fair bit of difference when towing...
