Build Playlist: • 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser
In this video I go over how much I've spent in the past year of building this 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80. These 80 series are not cheap and they will often demand a high price of entry to even get into the platform and the cost of repairs can add up quickly, not to mention the aftermarket parts!

If you plan on doing some hard core wheeling, 4.88s ring and pinion are what i have run with 35/36 inch tire range. 5.29 pinions are just too small in my opinion . But i know some 80’owners that run them with 40s with no Problems. 4x4 lab rear bumper is great, metal tech skidplate, RCV gun drilled front CVs, they have rear axleshafts now, double cardan front drive shaft, ARP STUDS when you rebuild your axles . I have factory lockers but you may want to do Harop elockers.

  • I've been thinking about rebuilding my 97 40th Anniversary with 295k on it, which I basically love. Original paint (bad condition) and interior (worn). Not too sure of the condition of the components of the power train, but would consider it worthwhile if I could get to a stage of reliability. Interior and exterior needs work as well as the HVAC as apparently the AC module is no longer available. Electric components are rotting as well some trim parts. I'd like to figure out a better gas mileage as it's running at 16 mpg normally with a cylinder having problems. No interlock, but it working on the tranny, then could be added. I was happy to see your video and appreciate your insight into the various elements of a rebuild.

Upgrades/maintenance after purchase: Full hose replacement, new steering box, new power steering pump, blue fan clutch mod, scan gauge, marlin rock crawler steering upgrade, white knuckle rock sliders, new seal kit for the birfield joints, new ABS module, replaced lift kit, new break master cylinder and full set of new breaks (disks and calipers), upgraded steel hose break lines Current total investment is around $25k.

  • Nice info. I bought a 93 landcruiser, triple locked with 330k miles back in 2021 for $3800. I use it on the beach for surf fishing here in MD. After I bought it, I painted white, added 33 inch tires, replaced battery, and its been running great. I've put about 4000 miles on it and no major issues. I had to replace a throttle cable last month and the AC just stopped working . The previous owner was a gear head and did a lot of engine repair so I consider myself very lucky. I might sell here in MD later next year.

    • You are seriously the luckiest person on Earth. Triple locked are pretty rare and when you find them they usually cost, your first born child.

  • Awesome break down, really comprehensive and thanks for the extra work including part numbers too! Agree with everything except recommending Wits’ End - he’s scammed hundreds in the LC community for taking payments and never shipping orders.

    • I've had some issues with his shipping but have always had it resolved by contacting him with no problems. I try to keep an open mind because I think he dealt with knee complications/surgery, his wife was sick or something, moved shops, and was dealing with some personal issues.

  • How does it drive with the oversized wheels & tires? I bought a 1997 4Runner, it had 15” oversized negative wheels & tires, it road horrible. I replaced the wheels with stock 2020 4Runner 17” wheels, with the factory offset. It rides great now. It goes over giant pot holes, & cracks in the street much better than the other wheels. It feels totally stable on the freeway now. Yes I had it aligned. Great. Job on your Land Cruiser! Awesome you’re paying attention to mechanical detail. Not just tying to make it look cool.
