Hi…did you lift your vehicle? How many inches? I just bought a 1998 100’s series from a former boss here at México and had been looking for ideas to put mine beautiful, neat and shine like yours without putting too much on. Thanks. Juan Valdez
Hey Juan! Thanks for the kind words my friend. Yes, We do our own work; vehicle was lifted 3.5”. On a 1998 UZJ100 I would recommend going with a 2” lift and 33” tires.
@@tampacruisers Great amigo, will take your advise for sure, actually this is my very first 4X4 project for me. A lot of friends have 4X4 and didn’t catch interest in past, but a week ago was offered to me for $5k this LC with 127.000 miles on it and checking out realized that it was in a really good exterior and interior shape and here at México these units have high value, so i didn’t think about it ;) please other questions for your expertise…I’m considering Method Race Wheels brand at 17X8.5, think will have no problem with tire space on turns? If i lift 2” could fit 33´s without any problem or should i stick on 16” wheels? Thank you in advance again 🙋🏻♂️
Wheel size is not going to be the problem here, wheel offset and backspacing is! Make sure to get proper offset wheels (0 to +15 is ideal for a 100 series).
Hey Logan! Previous owner resealed whole engine and head gasket was part of the job. We currently don’t have records of it, but did run compression test and they came back on OEM specs. Thank you!!
@@tampacruisers didn't have bad intentions... just thought there would be commentary. I'm a new 80 series owner and have been scowering UA-cam for info and insight
@@seansavage4766 no worries my friend!! Always happy to help. This video is a walk thru of a vehicle that will be going for sale soon. All of the work will be in the listing. Always like to put my videos with original sound so viewers can listen to the running engine to confirm timing and condition are up to par with how good she looks!

Do we know if the head gasket has ever been replaced?
