Turning my FJ 100 Land Cruiser into a tow rig

Can a Toyota FJ 100 Land Cruiser make a good tow vehicle? Yes, but if yours is like mine, there's probably a lot of maintenance and baselining needed to make sure you can tow easily and safely. This video follows about a year of maintenance projects and my brief thoughts on how well the LC handles hauling the M3 autocross car and Rav4 beach cruiser.
Don't buy OEM Land Cruiser heater Ts! These are the ones I used:

You have a UZJ100 with the V8. The FZJ100 is an inline 6. I have a 98 and a 06 UJZ100 also. Happy towing bro.

Thanks! Was the FZJ not sold in the states, I'm guessing?

[@RobertBrown-sd5dy]

@@NeverEndingProjectGarage FZJ was sold in like the Middle East and China or something. Most countries drive diesel Cruisers

Love the video and I learned so much from it! I have been looking for videos of people actually towing with a 100series but had not luck. I wanted to ask whats the ideal tow weight and also what drive train mode do you use? thanks!

I believe it's rated for 6500, I normally am pulling about 4500-5000. So not its limit, but a good % of the rated capacity. I normally put it in Ect Power mode, and then turn O/D off. On long downhills I manually shift to 2nd. It's taken me a while to get the brake controller in, but it's working pretty well.
