Toyota FJ80 3FE
After owning a 3FE powered FJ80 Land Cruiser for a short period of time, I realized there is not much vendor support or even information on the Internet regarding our unique Land Cruisers. With only about 15,000 imported into the US, there’s not much of a market to cater to.
I know we have a less powerful engine, we don’t have full-floating axles, and we don’t have rear disk brakes or factory lockers. Even though we don’t have all the desired options on a FZJ80, we have the reliability of a mighty 3FE engine. No worries about cooling problems, no head gasket problems, no pesky heater hose, no timing chain, fewer electronics and the list goes on.
In my opinion, our 3FE powered Toyota FJ80 Landcruisers are the best expedition vehicle for remote travel. Why should I be in a hurry to get anywhere? Its a 3FE state of mind.
Just for us 3FE powered 80-series Toyota Landcruiser owners, I’m assembling a list of resources that pertain specifically to our mighty vehicles. If you have a resource that should be included, send me an email so I can post it here.
