This is the factory Toyota 1FZ-FE spark plug wire set made by Yazaki, Toyota’s official wiring vendor! These wires are made specifically for your 1993 – 1997 FZJ80 powered with the 1FZ-FE engine. These are not the ones for the FJ80 (powered by the 3FE engine).

The Toyota 1FZ-FE Service manual does not specify interval changes for spark plug wires, but recommends changing spark plugs every 45,000 miles. Due to the simplicy of changing and best practices of maintaining your 1FZ-FE engine, we’ve made the following service interval recommendations.

The original Toyota Oil Filter for F-engines (1958 – 03/69) is the large “drop-in” “oil bath” version. However, once Toyota converted to a screw-on oil filter, this filter donned part number 15600-41010. (This one shown is only for display purposes / private collection). This Toyota part number continued from 1970 F-Series engines through the 2F, and 3F-E Land Cruiser engines. It also made its way into the 1FZ-FE model Land Cruiser for a short period of time before moving into the smaller of the three filters without technical explanation.

Our beloved FZJ80 / 80-Series Land Cruisers are now 25 to 29-years old and mostly likely have collected 200,000+ miles! If you want to make it to the 400,000 mile mark, major services are paramount! Cooling is MAJOR and a SERVICE overhaul of your heater/cooling system is in order for your 80-Series Land Cruiser!
This kit includes eight OEM formed heater hoses used on the FZJ80’s 1FZ heater system. These are all found along the firewall by the heater control valve. There is one .5″ (12.7mm) X 90-degree bend heater hose that is no longer available from Toyota but we have an OEM solution included in the FZJ80 Cooling Kit. Also, the factory heater hose clamps that came on the 1FZ-FE / FZJ80 are one-time-use clamps from the factory. We’ve upgraded this kit to include the OEM Toyota Constant Torque Spring Clamps such as used on the Power Steering lines. Set it and forget it until you reach your next major overhaul service interval in route to 400,000+ miles!

This modification is known as the “Blue Hub Fan Clutch Mod” for 80-Series Toyota Land Cruisers. This modification is prevalent because it correctly matches the fan engagement to the water pump rotation dynamics. This is our “Standard Modified” version, and we also have the Super-HD Mod version.

Your Sunday - our Monday, always something not going as easy as it should! While going EFI on these old FJ40’s has its benefits, there are a lot of little details to not be overlooked! We do these coversions all the time and no two are the same and not every one of them goes together as simply as expected or should or to plan.
