Landcruiser FTE build! 100 JDM cab on 105 chassis swap PT1! 

It’s a great feeling rolling that chassis out mate. Hopefully get the 100 separated tomorrow 👌

Thanks Craig! Good to hear from you again mate. I’m definitely in the process of some preventative maintenance on the chassis whilst it’s uncovered!

Thanks mate! Doing my best to keep them coming! I haven’t found a solid answer but I figure I could paint the 105 body the same colour as the 100 and then swap everything over and it’d be legit so can’t see why you’d have to get it engineered if that makes sense

Thanks mate, yeah the JDM is hiding a couple of secrets I’ll get to but overall I’m bloody stoked with it. Good call, I didn’t mention that. I’m reusing the tank in the 100 cab so petrol tanks are going with the old cab. I’m jealous yours is done I can’t wait to have it on the road!

When I researched for my swap, they reckon 100 tanks won’t fit. You’ll need to use 105 petrol tanks and swap the diesel pickups over, which is what I did. If the diesel tanks work I’ll be keen to know. Few people have mixed results with the stock power steering pump, but mines fine. I just took my time bleeding it with the axle on jacks going full lock side to side Won’t be far off, just a few decent days on the tools and she’ll be running 👍👍

I will let you know once the cab is off the 100. I’ll get them side by side and take some measurements but I am under the impression they are the same

Hey mate no it’s not a requirement. I have heard mixed reviews with people having issues with the steering shaft binding up when using the 100 crash bar. A couple of people have now mentioned that with their swaps the steering shaft was a mix of parts from each and they haven’t had any issues
