Hello Wayne,

You were to convert an ex mine truck into a plow truck, much like you did like this Troopie. The thread was lost when the server went down. What happened to that project?

does that troopy have front hubs off hilux

crushers · 10-04-09, 06:34 AM

i will be running a thread on the ex-mine truck when i get back from delivering this unit
http://forum.ih8mud.com/diesel-tech-...1978-fj40.html
to San Fran next week.
it will on this thread here:
http://forum.ih8mud.com/70-series-te...urbishing.html

the troopie was a temporary substitute for the ex-mine rig. in the spring the plow attachments will be moved over to the HZJ79 and the troopie will go back up for sale.

cheers (good memory)

the troopie is a Kenya spec truck, no heater, no power steering, vent windowed doors, metal fan shroud and manual asian hubs. cool bone stock, as basic as they come, troopie.

Clint79 · 10-04-09, 08:37 AM

no air con isnt a suprise but no power steer is a little rare ay? will you convert it or keep it old school

JuanJ · 10-04-09, 12:47 PM

Hello Wayne,

I was about to write on the HZJ40 you built when I read this thread.

Congratulations on a job very well done on the HZJ40. Saying or writing anything else would be superfluous.

Good luck in California. If you can register a vehicle there, you can register it anywhere.

Regarding the Troopie, I was asking myself whether it was as basic as it looked. Thank you for confirming my first impression.

JuanJ

Nice 7x series mate
Does your troopy have manual wind up windows? just curiuos is the std trim cruisers have the loom for factory lockers

Gib009 · 10-31-09, 01:00 AM

Nice rig... maybe build a swing away tyre carrier to get that tyre out of the truck. Otherwise great looking 70!

Thanks! but i want free sight out of the rear window and a short ass possible vehicle.

The "double floor" in the rear works fine fore me

NorwayCruiser · 11-14-09, 09:00 PM

Hello friends.

This is mine Land Cruiser LJ70...
I just started the build, and so far it has on
33" km2 mud tiers,
16" rims that i painted black
2" Old Man Emu lift kit! whit nitroshock absorbers/dampers... (sorry for my english)

A snorkel and the start of an roof rack.

Hope you like it. im planing on painting it the Jeep rescu green color whit black details.

Tanks for a greate forum!

1985bj70 · 11-14-09, 09:09 PM

^^^ nice rig, 33x10.5 tires?

lulo · 11-15-09, 01:25 AM

Nice LJ-70

Clint79 · 11-15-09, 05:57 AM

Nice rig mate
i like how the door frames and middle piller are painted black
kind of like the style the top of the range 80 series have

NorwayCruiser · 11-15-09, 11:32 AM

it is 285/75 r16 tiers so, it is aboute 33,2x10,7

think tl looks beter in this short rig than big fat wheels that makes the car lock like an rc model..

Nice that you made notis of my black b-pilar.. it vas a projekt to make the car look a bit longer.. and it cind of helpt!

My next projekt is to install the ARB diff lock in the rear axel...
and also owerhall it compleatly...

I had to make a new ending on the tail pipe also..
I bent it when i came down a hill the other day!

Not the best placing trom toyota in the first place......

Think this is better when offroading...

Clint79 · 11-16-09, 04:50 AM

Nice dumper mate
i think you would be better witha locker in the front for your first locker in the vehicle

crushers · 11-16-09, 05:19 AM

disagree, lock the rear first. locking the front affects off road steering and makes the front gravity affected on sidehill situations.

disagree again
If your just getting one locker first thing you want to stop is open wheeler action yay?,nay?
so in the front it go's and yes toy rear lsds are sheet but a sheet lsd is better than a open diff IMO
If a locker in the front affects your steering as bad as people say these people must have girly arms

i find my front locker pulls me through tracks alot easier than a rear locker pushing and also find with a front locker when i want to turn through and over other peoples tracks it turns
with the rear air locker in the back of my old fj75 i used it more doing circle work than wheelin itself ,when i did testing locked and unlocked i found i was getting more places with it unlocked untill and only untill one rear wheel was of the ground then yes a locker but for the 99% of both back wheels on the ground the open was fine

Thinking this way ..from what ive experienced b4 lokkas and see all the time to those with single spinners in the front
driving through sandy tracks, gets bogie, loose momentum, then stop, try to take off, oh what do you know single spiner in front, one wheel digs in twists chassis there for puts the oppisite rear wheel up then sheety lsd cracks open cos one wheels of the ground and bogged ...OR
Front locker keeps both front wheels digging through boggieness even even chassis level(side to side) then rear diff stays flat or level as such and lsd has a better chance at keeping 2 wheels spinning

But Dont forget this is for MY type of 4x4ing /wheelin terrain which is mainly sand ,white beach sand and dune's, pine forrest black sand and hills
So i guess it comes down to each to their own terrains
kind of like leafs and coils ay crushers

crushers · 11-16-09, 08:21 AM

LOL!!
each to their own, but looking at his pics he wheels the same type of terrain that i do.
for this reason i will stand behind my suggestion.

in reality, any locker is better than no locker but experience is more important than either.

HEMIDOG · 11-16-09, 11:58 PM

My BJ73

Clint79 · 11-17-09, 05:25 AM

Nice rig mate
Even cooler front grill just need some 79 series side indicators

HEMIDOG · 11-18-09, 02:10 AM

A keen eye there Clint. Will the 79 indicaters bolt straight on and cover the gap in the guard?

This is our general terrain mate best combo ive found so far is front locker and bfg's
We actually slowly got this 79 out in 2wd with hard tyres for a laugh

crushers · 11-18-09, 07:12 AM

this is more our type of terrain...

all is fun no matter what we play in...
