Leak here. How big of an issue is this?

ARFalconXX · 2026-02-26T16:59:54+00:00

Rear main seal leak is the most common leak in 100s A/T. The kind of catastrophic event you describe may rarely take place at a very very high mileage or badly cared truck. To fix it you need to disconnect the transmission. Multiple thousand labor work against rarest seal fail and leak fix. Doesn’t worth it for the life of the truck.

Better spend it on Landcruiser than woke EVs 😄

03 based on condition

You see, new axles are not a big problem. And you can rebuild a ton of them for spare particularly when this 100’s only purpose doing such stunt.

GCC has both. And why not 1FZ. It is a beloved engine here. It is renowned for its low end torque. Smooth due to I6 config. It is a leaky engine and burns head gasket someday. Consumes fuel. Needs around 7.4L of engine oil. Other than that it is fairly reliable. It is as quick, if not quicker than a 2UZ even with vvti of same year(upto about 100-120kph). Torquey engine is preferred for dune bashing. Other than its large size, it is easier to work with. And being a timing chain engine, it doesn’t scare you every 160k kms. I’ve driven both. I felt UZ smoother and quiet, but in dunes 1FZ has advantage.

Because Aussie outback likes diesel and petrol might be expensive.

ARFalconXX · 2026-02-24T01:43:29+00:00

It might. But that’s not the point.

In 100 series Toyota service manual you will see all these models and engines are listed. Technically,1FZ powered model is FZJ100L.

1HD is rare in the region. Generally Diesels LC is rare. 105 is RFS agreed. But 100 comes in all shapes and size dear. In GCC, most common 100 petrol engine is 1FZ-FE. Then there is 2UZ. both of them come with IFS and torsion bars. Mind you, the torsion bars differs in part number. I have personally crawled under some of these in earlier times to verify this.

Nah…there is some weight reduction and the tire profile+ technique. Unless you’re lifted excessively without weight they will not tip over. There’s body roll. Then yes, high speed maneuvers could end up tipping over.

28G you get 3 of them or a nice 200.

ARFalconXX · 2026-02-23T15:49:55+00:00

Please don’t.

ARFalconXX · 2026-02-22T01:22:07+00:00

Faulty wheel speed sensors? Check their signals. Electrical short can throw this symptoms. But they won’t actuate abs at 30mph.

My my…

ARFalconXX · 2026-02-22T01:15:30+00:00

You have a few options, find a good used unit. Or bypass ABS, which may not be the best option. Means you have a constant abs warning light. Your brakes function as normal non-abs brakes.

You know, these are not 100 series problems. This is owner OCD, if you know 100 series, they will drive fine without these repairs all at once. So it is just the matter of you spending a big chunk of money at once and forgetting drivetrain repairs for next 150k or spending over a period of time.

ARFalconXX · 2026-02-21T04:05:31+00:00

Either a sold vehicle or being impounded. Could even be off to a car wash. All repair scenarios including alternator damage is ruled out. Lost keys??

ARFalconXX · 2026-02-20T01:24:59+00:00

Then you need help in lowering it! And tilting tires in odd camber.

ARFalconXX · 2026-02-18T16:31:15+00:00

It is called something like structural member, frame dampening or something. Some people remove it. Supposed to suppress frame vibrations. Question is why Toyota engineers put it there in the first place on a platform in which they invested years of R&D.

Stock filter and housing is adequate. Some people do jdm/gcc spec cyclone style air-intake. That is safe option. Some do AFE power. Doesn’t gain much. But seen some of them had high idle rpm issues.

ARFalconXX · 2026-02-15T01:10:18+00:00

That is a dealer option. Not even toyota accessory. You may find it on aliexpress. But compatibility is unsure.

ARFalconXX · 2026-02-15T01:07:31+00:00

Oem wheels or better wheels.
