Steering box leaking? Steering making a noise? Replace all those gaskets, O-rings, and wear items with brand new factory ones! This kit works with ALL 80 series trucks worldwide, LHD AND RHD both.
Please note this does not include any needle bearings that may have been damaged, or any other parts that may need to be repaired.
We hope to one day have a more comprehensive FAQ/info page detailing the nuances bits of info about these trucks. This page is in no way complete! Our plan involves expanding our specialty to include these trucks. Our focus is mainly on the JDM ones, with the many more options they had in theirs over the USDM offerings! Some of our knowledge comes from research on the internet, but the majority comes from original Japanese brochures, parts diagrams/catalogs, owning multiple versions, etc.
As with many other Toyota offerings, the 80s were split with different options and aesthetics between early models (zenki, 1990-1994) and later models (kouki, 1995-1997). One of the biggest changes from the 60 series to the 80 was switching all 4 corners to coil springs. All diesels still are 12 volt chassis, but with a 24v starter system, and all had dual batteries.
From 1990-1992, gas engines were only available in VX and VX Limited trims. The only way to get 3 row seating was with the gas engine as well. In Japan, the "van" version means 2 row seating, and "wagon" means 3 row seating. SOB swing out back doors, or LUB lift up back doors were the two rear styles. Unrelated to "van" or "wagon" designations. ABS was optional on all models except STD.

Originally, the 80 series was released with 4 different trim levels.
STD
STD was the base model, with rear drums, horizontal opening rear doors (Swing Out Back), no 3rd row seat, only available with 5 speed manual, part time 4WD, no spare tire on the rear door, only engine option was the 1HZ 4.2 N/A inline 6 SOHC diesel, bore/stroke 94x100mm, 135 HP @ 4000 RPM, 206 ft lbs @ 2200 RPM, compression ratio of 22.7:1 and only available in 045 white. Most modern creature comforts/features were either not available, or were optional extras. They had mechanical free wheeling hubs, and a 1 touch 2-4 selector. The STD trim was only available from 1990-1992. As a stripped down version of the chassis, it is often lovingly referred to as the "poverty package"
GX
Originally, GX only came with the 1HZ. In 93, STD was dropped, and the GX became the base option. The carryover 3F-E was replaced with the new 4.5 liter 1FZ-FE DOHC inline 6. Bore/stroke 100x95mm. 9.0:1 compression. 212 HP @ 4600 RPM, 275 ft lbs @ 3200 RPM. The N/A 1HZ also could be had in VX and VX Limited trims from then on, only available in automatic trans. The gas 1FZ was also available in GX trim starting in 93. From 96.5-97, the 1HD-FT was also available in GX trim.

Electrical/Alternators
The 1990 diesel trucks all debuted with 60 amp alternators, though winter spec 1HZs got an 80 amp one, and the 1HD winter spec got a 100 amp one. Gas trucks had an 80 amp standard, though the VX Limited and VXs with dual zone A/C had a 90 amp alternator standard. When the 1FZ was released, all came with 100 amp alternators standard.
Additionally, zenki 1HD-T trucks got an analog green light in the tachometer showing you when you were in positive pressure, an old school Toyota gimmick for many years in various models. When the light is on, that means you're getting your extra money's worth since you bought the turbo version!
The kouki 1HD-FT trucks did away with this light, replacing it with a red light if the turbo is over-boosting, and another red light telling you when to change the timing belt.

Despite the truly terrible paint job, this truck is overall in quite good shape! Interior looks good, engine starts immediately and runs just fine.
Not the best looking example, but a pretty solid running truck, and the price shows this as well. It loves trail riding and getting dirty. Dont have to worry about scratching/denting this one! Contact us for custom upgrades as well!
After 25+ years of off-roading, mud, dirt, grime, sand, rust, road salts, etc., you may be having issues with your factory triple locked Land Cruiser or LX450 engaging the electronic e-lockers. Fortunately these are still available OEM new, without paying $875+ for the Toyota box! We only use OEM Toyota parts for anything and everything where we can, as nobody built a better 80 series than Toyota themselves!
You'll need to check your truck to see what the specific issue is, as replacing this alone might not fix your locking issue.
Please contact us for availability, rarely more than 3-5 days for this to ship out.
Please note that if you do NOT have a triple locked K294 axle code Land Cruiser, you will need much more than this to convert your diffs using factory parts. You would have to hunt down the rest of the parts including all of the axle hardware, the wiring, the switch, etc. We do not have a source for those parts.
Brand new OEM replacement hatch handle. Your Cruiser has seen at least 25 winters now, so you may not have much left of your original handle. We personally had one too many winters, and the handle crumbled in our hands when trying to open the back hatch up!
Please note this does NOT fit the barn door GX and poverty spec trucks. This is for the horizontal split hatch ones, which include those with the side mounted spare tire.
Even if only the black plastic handle part is damaged, you may need to replace the whole hinge assembly. Ours was too rusted away to reuse, so we offer this option for replacement.
Includes the metal hinge, the plastic handle itself, and the 2 bolts holding it to the hatch. Usually these bolts are just as crusty as the rest, so we include brand new ones from Toyota as well. Toyota is known for having superb zinc coating on their hardware, so definitely not worth skimping out there.
Is your triple lock knob getting crunchy, yucky, or just worn out? Good news, these are still available new, and quite affordable! Ours has seen better days, so we decided to replace it with a new one. Very easy, simple, straightforward replacement.
Or, you could always just put one in a truck to replace the blanking plate, to make you feel better, or try to fool someone else into thinking you have a triple locked truck.

Rusty rear window on your 80 series? Yeah, us too, on both of ours. Pretty unfortunate. So what do you do? Repair and restore!
This kit includes all OEM Toyota parts to replace your aging hatch seals. Some of the part numbers are different on USDM trucks for some reason, so keep that in mind that there might be slight variations between what you have on your truck and our JDM offerings.

You'll need to have a professional address the rust before you install these parts. With rust, you should always expect it to be worse than it looks. Once the rust is properly treated and repaired, you'll need to reinstall with this kit!
Depending on your specific individual truck, there may be more parts that need to be replaced or repaired while youre in there. Keep that in mind and be prepared for some sad surprises.
Since we never got these 5 speed Land Cruiser transmissions in the states (zenki 60 series was the last manual Land Cruiser we got), finding replacement/wear parts like these bearings can be difficult. We do have a set of these bearings in stock!
If you're in there replacing your clutch (probably could use it at this age!), you should also be replacing these normal wear parts. Dont get stuck with garbage aftermarket no name brand ones, stick with the ones that are good for 200k+ miles!
If you're not sure that this is the right set for your build, please reach out to us beforehand and we can double check!
If your Toyota was made sometime in the 80s or 90s, and it has a manual transmission, you can bet it used this pad! The clutch pedal and brake pedal both use the same pad, so if you want to replace both while you're in there, keep in mind they are priced each, so you'll need 2.
Comes in any color you like, as long as it's black!
Great for restoring an old Land Cruiser back to its prime. This is an OEM Toyota part, fits all 80 series Cruisers.
Replacement OEM Toyota water pump that fits 5 and 6 cylinder 70, 80, and 100/105 diesels. The same water pump was used on 1PZ, 1HZ, 1HDT, 1HDFT, and 1HDFTE engines. Typically ships within a day or two! Includes the gasket as pictured.
Although this might not come in a Toyota box, this absolutely is a legitimate OEM Toyota water pump. We do not sell knockoffs.
Our most trusted bearing brand with one of our all time favorite engine/chassis combos!
Includes rod bearings, main bearings, and thrust washer
Please note they are special order in the USA, so there may be a few weeks wait time
