    Soft Tailgate upgrade

    Well bugger.Sorted it out. There is enough metal to drill the hole in the correct place. Drilled a hole in the Template washer and used a 6mm Rivnut and a suitable bolt to make sure that things will be rock solid. More pictures to come. Works really good and isn’t too slow.

    1HZ into VDJ76r? How easy or how hard to convert?

    How many Kms has this motor done. Those bit of metal don’t look right. One of them looks like a chunk of rust. They do not look like shavings from a wear surface. Do you have a magnetic sump plug. If not then I would recommend one. That will collect all the free metal pieces in the same...

    4X4 Labs rear bumper mudflaps.

    My truck doesn’t have the factory flares anymore. I welded a bit of 1/4” flat bar at the front of the wing. My mud flaps are 3/8” conveyor belt cut to shape and bolted to the flat bar. They extend up into the wheel arch to cover the hole between the bar and the body. Like in this picture...

    All the "oh crap" lights are on

    If everything was Ok and you haven’t filled the alternator with mud lately then my money would be on the Alternator brushes being the problem. An easy fix and cheaper than a replacement alternator. It is even possible to replace the brushes without removing the alternator if you are a bit flexible.

    HDJ81 Won't Start Without Help and Don't Know Where to Go From Here

    Check to see if you are getting 24V at the starter motor when trying to crank the motor. When the truck is just sitting without the engine running the batteries are connected in Parallel. Measuring voltage at either battery will give the same result. If it wont crank and you aren’t getting...

    HDJ81 1HD-T BEB replaced

    I recently replaced the BEB on my 1HDT engine. First replacement was at 120,000 km when i bought it in NZ. It was a JDM import to NZ. Replaced the BEB again at 375.000km No5 was similar to the one above. Not so much wear but missing a small section of bearing material maybe 1/8” in diameter...

    New Member Introduction - 91' HDJ81 VX Limited

    A valve body is only going to be a sticking plaster on the slipping transmission. Might buy some time but a rebuild is in the near future. Most 1991 cruisers had the fully Hydraulic A442. There are 2 ways to tell. Fully hydraulic box has a shifter quadrant with 123D. Electronic A442 has 12D...

    Hdj81 troubles

    Wholesale Automatics have a range of suitable units and I believe they have a US agent. Might be just as cheap to get one direct from them.

    Ultimate 80

    My truck had the BEB replaced at purchase secondhand in NZ. At 120,000 km I had them replaced again at 380,000 km and it was time to do it. No 5 bearing was looking a bit sad. No symptoms like loss of oil pressure or ticking. Replaced them because the mechanic was installing a WAT billet...

    What contributes to “Roar” at cold start-up?

    No it doesn’t. The thermo coil drives a valve inside the viscous coupling to vary the amount of oil in the scrolls inside the coupling. The hotter it gets the more oil is allowed to enter the scroll to increase the lockup of the coupling. It is a continuous process as long as the engine is...

    Led headlights

    Another way to improve the lighting on the 80 is to upgrade to a Landcruiser Grilles grille and headlight mounts. Install 7” LED Inserts and you have vastly improved the front end lighting of the truck.

    Swapping 3X Locked OEM Axels into a non Locked FZJ80?

    Post 93 trucks should have all the body wiring harness that you need. I just body swapped a 92 JDM truck and everything was plug and play for 3x diff locks and cruise control.

    F/R Lockers not engaging

    The switch that operates to confirm that the diff is locked is a reverse light switch that is used in many Toyota gearboxes. The switch contacts get dirty. The diff lock could be engaged and still have the flashing light if the switch contacts are dirty. The best thing to do is to put the...

    1HDFT low oil pressure - Main bearings

    I had my BEB’s replaced when i got the vehicle in 2003 At 120,000km. Just replaced them last week at 380,000km. No symptoms, but installed a GTurbo, air box and big snorkel so decided that BEB’s were a good idea before injector pump rebuild and a Dyno tune. No1 set at the top. Number 5 set is...

    Front axle seals leaking AGAIN....

    Another cause of leakage from the birfield area is corrosion damage to the big Bally thing. I cleaned mine up reall good and applied POR15. From memory i just bought one of their small kits that included the prep products and a small tin of paint. They are now shiny black with just a slight...

    Super Glow vs Wilson Switch on a 1HDT Conversion

    I have never even seen the glow plug light operate on my HDJ81 with the 1HDT motor. I would be surprised if you actually needed glow plugs to get a 1HDFT to start unless it was extremely cold. I would try it out and see before getting to far into the glow plug systems.
