1KZ engine - don’t push it when going uphill, slowly crawl and watch the temp meter, the key is to not get it overheated (install an external water temp gauge, that certainly helps) - maintenance with the cooling system is paramount. Enjoy the journey with the truck

[@JunOutdoors]

Cooling system and Overheating prevention. Will keep that in mind. Thanks for the tip!

[@JTuggy_MissionFrmGlobalMargins]

@@JunOutdoors I want to agree with @alantan7644. The 1kz-t is a great engine, I have been driving mine for 10 years now. BUT they have a weakness, like all engines have . In the 1KZ it is the possibility of overheating and 'cooking' the aluminum head. So regular maintenance of the entire cooling system is 100% important. That means a clean, good flowing radiator, properly functioning thermostat and radiator cap, unbroken radiator fan and fan shroud, good/non-brittle radiator hoses, newer water pump, a working fan clutch (if the fan clutch has not been changed or had the viscous oil changed, it probably is worn out by now just due to age) and of course proper radiator fluid/antifreeze. I do not know how much 'baseline' maintenance has been done when you bought it, but please do not plan to spend too much money modifying before you do proper 'baseline' maintenance. That includes timing belt, replacing water pump if you have no record of it being done, and checking all hoses and vacuum lines, engine seals, all of which just get old after 30 years of hot/cold cycles in the engine bay. Also: if your truck and the automatic/electric 4wd hubs on front axle, they are well known to not work and are very difficult to keep maintaining fixing. Consider converting to manual hubs, and while you are at it you can do a full front swivel hub rebuild with new bearings and seals. Congratulations on your new truck, I love your manual gearbox and PTO winch! Just be prepared to spend money on maintenance, even if the LC is legendary for reliability is it only reliable when the owner spends money regularly fixing problems BEFORE they become a big problem.

[@Umirin1]

similiar to zd in a patrol i own, i would make this 1st priority before anything as it has similar problems. radiator, egt gauge, exhaust, intercooler. nothing crazy fancy, mainly upsize these components. i think snorkel/airbox and safe tune would be after

[@anushka-nashpathirana8741]

good advice

[@adrianschonborn]

Careful with the 1kz engine. Also upgrade the exhaust to 3inch pipe to help the engine. Their heads are pretty weak

[@kntee89]

The 1kz engine is proven to be powerful and reliable , just make sure it doesn't get overheated. Make sure the cooling system is functioning well. Once the 1kz overheated it will start having endless cylinder head issues. The 1kz will run like a clock unless it get overheated. And don't forget it's a belt driven engine, if the last change history of the timing belt is unknown, better have it change before any long journey drive.

[@JunOutdoors]

Prevent overheating and watch the timing belt. Got it. Thank you so much for your tips and insights :)

[@JTuggy_MissionFrmGlobalMargins]

@@JunOutdoors Also, just from looking at your engine bay, it certainly looks like your fuel filter is old? Dark and stained anyway! If you have no record or it being changed, would suggest doing so soon and I replace mine every other oil change (every 10,000k, although that is here in Africa with questionable diesel pumps n stations, etc.)

[@azharyatim3505]

Congratulation on the latest acquisition! This LC2 certainly got the best mommy on earth, TLC at best. "JUPITER" will be my suggested name, the largest Planet on our sweet own solar system. Jun's Jupiter.

[@JunOutdoors]

Love the name Jupiter. Thanks for the idea :)

[@ThunderAppeal]

Ok bot.

[@jackmeyers40]

That is one beauty of a rig. You Tube recommended your channel and I am glad they did. I subbed and as a fellow Overland enthusiast I am looking forward to your build. My build out is done mostly with composite panels to keep the weight down. The company I work at rebuilds Aircraft and I was lucky enough to acquire some composite floor panel remnants and built my platform with a wood 2x2 frame and also a fold up "rear door" kitchen box. The box is 29x18 and I was able to mount it using one hand because it it so light for my door. Again thank you for your positivity and enjoy that sweet rig.

[@JunOutdoors]

Hi there, thanks for the sub! Your build sounds very interesting. Would be great if you could share it on any platform so we could get some ideas!

[@briantroxell7874]

That is a cool truck. I love it! And a manual transmission and a snorkel 💪 congratulations!

[@JunOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@rozitahipeni8715]

Love to see you are living your dream,you go girl!! A good wheel is the best partner for a great adventure❤❤❤

[@JunOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@ken-ab12]

As a Forester owner, I hate to see you retire your old Forester, but I give you a thumbs-up for this classic LC, great choice, and applaud you for your courage in chasing your dreams. Keep it up.

[@ThunderAppeal]

Ok bot.

[@JunOutdoors]

The Forester has been great. Of course I have bought this one for specific reasons, which will become clear later on :)

[@peterrichardson8671]

I love your enthusiasm, looking forward to your adventures. We love our cruisers in Australia.

[@JunOutdoors]

The cruisers are great. Thanks for watching!

[@heaven-is-real]

I predict she will eventually get more aggressive offroad tires for the big adventures. This is awesome.

[@fijianz1]

Your beautiful smile just lights up the day.

[@JunOutdoors]

[@Abdullahidahire]

Excellent car, I have a similar car 1993 same engine and it has never failed specially the engine. Durable and stress free with go anywhere attitude. I'm sure you'll enjoy. Word of caution just watch the weight when you are building it up for overlanding

[@JunOutdoors]

That's very reassuring to hear. Awesome. Yes, I will be mindful on the weight as I start building the rig. Thanks!

[@nocondition]

It's beautiful congrats.

[@JunOutdoors]

So happy for you welcome to the family

[@JunOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@gj0628]

@@JunOutdoors you welcome

[@fatmanoverlanding]

What fantastic buy. These rigs are tough. There is a very good reason why the 70 Series Land Cruisers continues to be very popular here in Australia despite not having changed much in way of exterior and interior design since the mid-80s.. They just go, and go, and go, and go. And you're not wrong, 200k kms on a Toyota diesel engine is nothing. Have fun getting to know your rig. And you'll find out customising your rig for your perfect overlanding rig never ends (we call them "Tourers" in Australia). There is always something to tweak and/or improve as time goes on. But that's half the fun of owning a 4WD. Congratulations. 👍

[@JunOutdoors]

Thank you. I guess there are many good reasons that have earned the 70 series their great reputation. Your words are very reassuring, now I feel even better for buying it! Can't wait to have all the fun with it :)

[@roslanabubakar9801]

Congrat! I have multiple LCs include 95 LC 1hdt-Ft. and 80 series LC converted with poptop for long travel. I'm in the U.S. ( California). For your engine specific, it's critical to have the injectors and it's pump service. Have fun.
