80 vs 100 Series and Why the 80 Series Toyota Land Cruiser is NOT the Answer 

There's something so special about the 80, even if it's just a grocery hauler. I have/had a bunch of Toyota trucks - Land Cruiser, Tundra, Sequoia, 4Runner - and the 80 is still my favorite.

80 series hands down. Solid axles and.classic look and a beast

Nice video. Over the last 20 years, had a 60, bought an 80, added a 100, and sold the 100. Today, the others are gone, except the 80. Going on 18 years and 248,000 miles on my locked supercharged 80.

For 95% of poeple the 100 series is the way to go. Better power, more comfortable and still very capable. For the other 5% that want to do more off-roading and having it even more capable (and a lot cheaper to mod) the 80 series is king...especially the 1995 and later (OBDII) and if you can get the 3X locked. I have a 1997 Collector's Edition 3X locked and it's absolutely amazing. My 3rd 80 series.

In Australia we had a 105 series. Cross between 80 chassis and 100 cab.

I love my 96 Land Cruiser has 330k an triple locked. Running like a champ an going to be getting a lift for it soon

I have a coworker with an 80 and a 100 series. After listening to what he had to say, I went with a 100 for myself. My truck is used as a family car and adventure rig, so what it lacks in more hard core off-road ability it more than make up for in everyday practicality.

I bought a 2001 100-series in 2019. I don’t need it for any of my hobbies. -the styling was already 20+ years old when I bought it. My perception of its appeal hasn’t moved at all over the past 4 years. I like it as much today as I did then. If I had bought a new vehicle I would want the new hotness by now. -I don’t care if my kids throw a football at the door panel. -a happy-meal or donut with a tailgate is a memory. -3 rows of seats, and the 3rd row reclines. I can put row 2 up and at 6’1” have my legs straight while sitting in a reclined 3rd row. -I can sell it for my cost +inflation. -(90.4 cubic feet of cargo capacity)+(tow hitch box that can carry 500lbs with 24 cubic feet)+(150lbs roof rack limit)=camouflage from 2nd cousins along if I can help them move.

Hm, I wonder how that 80 gem would ride with a 5.7 3UR-FE engine with a TRD supercharger?😇 Dealer upgraded Tundras had 500 ponies in that configuration. The 80 would become a reeaaly great sleeper-both on-road and off-road one. :)

Had a few 97 80 series and recently traded it for a 100. Honestly, the 100 serves my purpose better for long, smooth, highway road trips. 80 felt like a rough tank, it was kinda similar yet so different from the 100. Will get an 80 again some day, some odd nostalgia factor about it that I miss. The 100 is an overall better mix between modern and classic.

Does your 80 Series have a small lift? I have a 96 and have an OME 2.5 that I haven't installed yet. Not sure if I want to do it or not. Great video!

HDJ81 owner here. 1-HDT powered. I wish the USA had gotten the diesel in the LC. The diesel is a great power source for the 80 series LC.

Completely wrong about the 1fz comparison. I’ve owned both 3fe and 1fz there is a huge difference in power and speed. The 1fz is not good on fuel but is still better than the 3f with miles per gallon.

I think having the right suspension makes a world of difference in the 80. Kinda hard to compare a solid axle front vs independent front.

19:30 شكرا فيديو رائع منكما وجلسة في الخلف مميزة 👍

Wish the States would get the Mighty Nissan Patrol. Especially the y60 and the y61. They're Legends!

I had the choice between a 1997 LC or a 2006 LX, the LC was abused with lower miles, and the LX was pampered with more miles. I chose the LX

3:27 👍

15:03 لذا من أراد شراءها عليه اختيار منطقة غير وعرة عاشت فيها لكي تجدها بصحة جيدة والان قليل جدا لكن ١٠٠ مناسب للشباب والعائلة والسفر والصحراء. شكرا

If you had smaller rims, bigger tyre wall and better tread pattern the 100 would do much better even without a lift.

05 LX. My alternator died 2hrs away from home.

13:33 👍

15:00👍

I like the 105 series

2:24. مثال: fj80 يمتلها جدنا و ١٠٠ يمتلكها الأب 😜👍

14:34 نعم عائلة رائعة قبل اخرموديل

0:15 شكرا لاهتماك..لهذه الفئة التي خدمت عدة ممتلكين وسائقين..بمل جدية وعمل لا تخت المزلة للمناسباا😜 لكن اعتقد اي سيارة أثبتت وجودها وبعد طول عمر.. لا تحتاج منا لمدح وتعريف لها!!😜لكن يبفى وفاءا لها خاصة ٨ سلندر شكرا

I love my 80 but sometimes I’d like to get a 100

only thing better than an 80 series is a 105, 100 series is too much of a downgrade to compete unless it has an fte

friends only let friends buy an fzj80. 91-92 hard pass especially with that Camry dash, no lockers, anemic engine, drum brakes and no full float axles.
