This vehicle model is a true unicorn that requires a worldwide hunting expedition to capture. Left-hand-drive, rugged, simple, reliable and equipped with a solid front axle - unique in a 100 Series. The 105 is essentially an 80 series chassis with a 100 series body which makes servicing and upgrading this platform extremely viable in the US. The soul of this 105 Land Cruiser stays true to the original Land Cruisers built in 1951, featuring front and rear solid axles, a manual transmission, and straightforward analog gauges. Under the hood lies arguably Toyota’s most reliable powerplant ever produced; the legendary 1HZ 4.2L inline-six diesel, built to survive a nuclear holocaust.

Car Cave sourced this 105 out of the Middle East. It is a GCC (Gulf Corporation Council) model manufactured in Japan. The GCC required certain features due to the regional laws and climate conditions, including a mandatory fire extinguisher which is still in the vehicle. A mechanical review was completed in the UAE by a specialty shop and suspension upgrades were performed by Dobinsons UAE. A lengthy list of mechanical items were addressed and completely documented.

The 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ105 bridges the mechanical toughness of the 80 Series with the refinement of the 100. Equipped with Toyota’s legendary 1HZ naturally aspirated diesel engine, this Land Cruiser embodies reliability and mechanical simplicity. Limited electronics, no complexity, just rock-solid reliable Toyota engineering.
Paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox and part-time four-wheel drive, the HZJ105 is built for global travel, backcountry exploration, and everyday use. The suspension has been upgraded with a Dobinsons system, including lift springs, shocks, and a steering damper for improved ride quality and handling both on- and off-road.
