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
Cooling system and Overheating prevention. Will keep that in mind. Thanks for the tip!
@@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.
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
good advice
Careful with the 1kz engine. Also upgrade the exhaust to 3inch pipe to help the engine. Their heads are pretty weak
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.
Love the name Jupiter. Thanks for the idea :)
Ok bot.
Wow, let the adventures begin!
Congratulations!
Your parents gave you the perfect name, Jun means Talented, handsome, ruler. The Parents that decide to name their new bundle of joy Jun can see that their future is bright with beauty and skills not to mention a spectacular gift to the world.
Your beautiful smile just lights up the day.
You're very kind. Thank you so much :)
Ok bot.
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.
Ok bot.
The Forester has been great. Of course I have bought this one for specific reasons, which will become clear later on :)
Love to see you are living your dream,you go girl!! A good wheel is the best partner for a great adventure❤❤❤
Thank you!
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.
Prevent overheating and watch the timing belt. Got it. Thank you so much for your tips and insights :)
@@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.)
1kz in my Toyoya Granvia and it is a beast of an engine.... eats roads and hills for breakfast... great engine and vehicle !! LC 😊
That's very reassuring. Thanks!
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.
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!
That is a cool truck. I love it! And a manual transmission and a snorkel 💪 congratulations!
Thanks!
I predict she will eventually get more aggressive offroad tires for the big adventures. This is awesome.
Congratulations on your new rig🎉 amazing specs, it’ll be able to go everywhere and anywhere. Enjoy creating new memories😊
I'm very lucky to have found this one. Thanks!
Congratulations June… you should call her Elsie!
Thanks! Haha if I call her Elsie, all the LC owners in the world will respond!
Ok bot.
sounds great
Hello from Australia 🇦🇺, congratulations on your purchase! Keen to see this build🤩

I love your enthusiasm, looking forward to your adventures. We love our cruisers in Australia.
The cruisers are great. Thanks for watching!
Enjoy. I went for an LC troop carrier with a 1HDFT speciafically for the mechanical fuel pump. great vehicles. Stay safe and happy exploring
The Troopy is great!
Congratulations Jun on getting your new truck.Looking forward to watching your adventures as you conquer the wild world. Happy outdoor adventures 🤘

No need to rush.. So happy that u get ur dream. Go girl!
Slow and steady :)

Wicked truck! Following the build.
Happy for you Jun. I am also very happy to see you driving your new Land Cruiser. I wish you all the very best

Awesome choice. Plenty of LC2 roaming here in Sabah. There's plenty of them here for a good reason. They are really bombproof!
Such a brilliant choice!!! 👍🏻👏🏻

Very good I think you’re off to a great start can’t go wrong. Your priorities are in order. Will definitely follow through you and look forward to your future videos.
I sure hope so. Thank you so much :)
damnnn, Toyota LC MK2, accesories is abundant. and reliable
Congratulations! Looking forward to your off road trip.
Took me nearly 2 years to build up my toyota prado 97.
Slowly but surely!
Yes, slowly but surely!
Love to see ur upcoming adventure with this beast ❤❤❤❤❤
Haha. Your excitement put a huge smile on my face all through that video Jun. I can imagine the channel is going to go up a gear from here. A real adventure wagon. Congratulations and I wish you health to enjoy it. I remember the video where you were at the overland meet up and you were well into it so this is no surprise. You say you are going to take your time and go slowly…yeah, right, I bet. 😂 pull over Eva, Jun coming thru…
Thank you so much. Haha heck yeah. Pull over Eva, Jun coming thru!
You made a perfect choice The Toyota Land Cruiser is the best ever. I can see your vision and ideas on how you want your LC to be. 👍👍
Thanks! 👍
Congratulations! ... on your new campanion. Looking forward for your new advenctures and fun.
Thanks!
U are amazing....the taste u choose your truck that is a real man...taste...proud of u...
Thanks :)
really nice... congratulations!
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. 👍
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 :)
Congratulations 👏. Looking forward to a lot of outdoor adventures 🏕️ with your new LC Jun.Stay safe and all the Best 👍
Thank you! :)
Congratulation June Welcome to the world of LC. Hope this Junita will serve you well in upcoming years! Love to see more videos from you. Now i miss my LC2!🥲
Thank you so much. Aww you had an LC? Get it back please! haha
You look genuinely happy. Am so happy for you 😊
Thank you!! 😊
Congratulations 🥂 here you go for more adventurous content! Stay safe!
Thanks and cheers!
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
That's very reassuring to hear. Awesome. Yes, I will be mindful on the weight as I start building the rig. Thanks!
Wow.. congratulations! Glad the dream come true and looking forward more videos
Thanks!
Yay.. congratulations... so excited for u.. can't wait for u build n adventures!! Wooot woot!
Thanks!
That's a nice truck. I would give it a new satin black paint job.
It’s equipe with Alpine radio. Congratulations!!!
Congrats! Welcome to the LC2 Club owners!

Thanks. I surely hope so!
Congrats!!!
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.
Thanks for sharing!
Good step ahead for overland.
LC sounds Good ....And Congratulations Jun ..... looking forward yeah .🎉
Thanks :)
Awesome addition Jun! Congrats on the great new ride

Columbus the explorer! thanks for the idea :)
Congratulations on your new Landcruiser great choice 🎉🎉
Thank you!
Great choice. Happy camping and be safe.

Swear to God, you’re absolutely amazing.
I have no problem with clutch gear on the motorcycle, but I find myself a little bit struggle with manual gearbox in a car.
Congratulations for your new vehicle ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much :)
Wow, When I saw the notification I was like no way. I know you have talked about it many of times in your videos. And it comes with it's very own built in "Snorkel" 🤣 Congratulations, I can see and feel how excited you are in this video and that's awesome. I can't wait to see what's next🙂❤❤

Congrats! Beautiful SUV 😍
I just bought my overlanding dream truck over the weekend: LX 570 (20k miles)
Congratulations! Have fun with your new rig :)
Congratulations! Enjoy!
Thank you!
Nice Prado! I imported a 96 1hdft 80 series to Canada in 2019, updated the turbo, intercooler and exhaust. Made a huge difference. almost at 200K now.
Sounds awesome!
wow congrats 👏 and can't wait to see all your videos with the new truck
Thanks!
Gefeliciteerd🎉! Tough lady i would say. Just cant wait to see the new LC.. success.
Thanks :)
So happy for you welcome to the family
Thanks!
@@JunOutdoors you welcome
Congrats June. Following ur camping journey since watch ur video camp at Kenaboi. Happy to see ur improvement. From the black tent, to roof top tent now with new truck.
Aww, you've come a long way! Thank you so much. Really appreciate you watching my videos from the beginning :)
Congrats! Excited for you and the adventures in the future. 💯💯 You got this 👍
Thank you very much!
Good choice on getting an LC. It's tough and very capable off road. But, you need to keep an eye on the fluids. LC's are known for overheating issues. Other than that, I'm sure you will love driving it on tough trails.
Oh yes I have been told about the overheating issue. Thank you so much for your tips!
congratulations jun on the LC.... and hopefully make many sweet memories along the way. I hv a PRADO 120...its a journey, an adventure and sometimes a surprise Cheers
I look forward to all of that. Thanks and cheers :)
Congrats jun...so excited
In fact I love this truck. During my assignment with UN I used this truck for about 4years.
Amazing! Hope it served you well :)
Nice. Congrats!
You're awesome! Great choice 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Congrats, exciting 4x4
Yes very exciting. Thanks!
Congratulations from an LJ78 owner who has owned one since 1995!👍😎
Still own it? And thinking of selling? lol
Thanks!
Congrats Jun..may your day be a basket full of flowers
Thank you :)
congratulations! you have a very good condition LC
I'm very lucky. Thanks!
