My truck has been starting strange the last few days, sometimes it fires up fine, sometimes a click and nothing. This morning it started right away but the starter stayed engaged. I turned it off and on again, started fine. anyone else have a simalar problem? I checked all contacts...
Hello,
I recently upgraded to 37's and would like to add a "little" more lift. I was wondering if anyone has a drawing or specs for a spring spacer. I would like to fab it up before taking my truck out of commision to reduce down time (it's my DD). I am going to have it made out of steel...
Hey guys, im getting the 80 back on the road and need to do the brakes. its a 91jdm. Are there any compatible parts available? Any recomendations? Search link wont load.
Well the time has come,
I am retiring the 80 series to summer duty only. Started to see some small rust spots and the heater module stopped working so that was the last straw. NO MORE SALT for this rig.
Also given the recent insurance issues I know getting another RHD Deisel into canada...
Can anyone help with my heater problem?
Push the fan control buttons and nothing happens.
Push the AUTO button and the fan comes on full and now won't shut off.
I cannot toggle the auto button to off now it is stuck on.
I cannot toggle the vent/cabin button, stuck on vent.
Please help...
After hearing all the trouble Darwin was having trying to get insurance, I made some calls. I cannot find a single insurance company that insures RHD vehicles in ONTARIO? WTF, there is no legislation banning these vehicles? Any thoughts? Are all of the rigs in ontario now worth NOTHING...
First, I cannot find the GVWR stamped on my JDM rig. I used the ownership number. The GVWR listed for my rig 2200kg. Then we looked at the wieght for my friends 96 runner, 2500kg? and another friends 08 frontier 2700kg?
Something is not adding up here, my truck DWARFS those rigs
WTF?
Does anyone have a drawing or schematic for spring spacers. I want a quick, cheap way to get some of the sag back and have a machine shop to build them in. Just need a diagram or Photos & measurements.
Thanks

I am about to install a heater pump and plan to change the coolant at the same time. I was wondering if toyota red coolant is dexcool or another type. I have been reading a lot of post about red vs. green and there seems to be a lot of confussion. Any help from other diesel owners would be...
I was wondering if I have a smaller tank in my 80 or if the warning light for low fuel/E on the guage is just set really high to give you lots of "OH SH#T" time once it goes off? I have never put more than 75ish liters in it?
I am getting all the dash lights staying on for the first few minutes while driving. My turbo timer has a digital voltmeter and it read 12 for a few minute and then shoots up to 13-14 depending on rpm. Is the alternator starting to go or another related component?
I have seen a rhd 70 series troopy driving around my city. Thing looks cherry but it has the Lexus badge on the front and back. Did toyota ever market the 70 series as a Lexus, mabye to compete with the G wagon? Or is it as I suspect and this :censor: just made a 70 into something nobody...
Hello,
I thought I should start a new thread for this one. Can I buy a 93 rear rotor and machine down the OD to make it fit my 91 JDM rear set-up. I have a machine shop at my disposal and I can eisily get the NA 93 rear rotors for a lot less than the JDMs. Any difference in the other...
Hello,
Does anyone know how to find the JDM Toyota part number for the brake rotors on my 91 HDJ81? They ARE NOT listed on toyodiy.com, for some reason? They have all the other parts, just not the actual rotors! :bang: I need them for a freind who is going to look into a new? suplier.
Can anyone tell me what NA vehicle to use for reference for my 91 hdj80 brakes? It has disks all around but I think they are smaller than the 93 disks (15" rims fit my 91).
Any help would be great!
