One of the biggest things I appreciate about the Mud community is the perspectives and knowledge that is provided from members around the world. One of the difficulties when talking about diesel fuel and additives is the difference in fuel...

@MonsterCruiser , I won the auction! I was the only bidder. I can't believe it 🥳 Thank you... PM me your email, I'm gonna send you money for a pint at the pub 😄

And back on the road! Super rad couple. EDIT: those of you with 05/1995 and later 1HD-FTs: make sure to take a look at your injection pump and see what style fuel cutoff solenoid you have. If you have one with a “control unit” black box...

Sadly I have to miss it this year :frown:

Got a free second to update this thread! We made it back home on October 22nd. What an amazing trip!! I've been so busy since the moment we got home that I haven't even had time to check out my pictures until now. Somewhere along the coast of...

Another project I tackled recently was the heater controls. This is a super common issue on 80s and other cruisers with push-button HVAC. The little indicator lights are so dim you can't see what your heater and AC are doing. At first, I thought...

Speaking to the girl who owns and built this green Bundera modified the roof off a Suzuki. Did the rust and paint work herself as well.

Brought her 1200km home, not sure on plans, if I'm honest a wagon is probably more use to me these days so she might not stay in the fleet very long. Nice to do some km listening to a 1VD though!

While the dash was out, I decided I might as well just remove every piece of interior trim in the vehicle and clean it inside and out. The center console was already out, but I partially dismantled it and cleaned it inside and out with some good...

Been gathering parts for a little something-something that rhymes with automatic to manual transmission conversion. Something super new, something forever borrowed, something hella old or however the saying goes. On the hunt for the plastic MT...

I installed an ARB compressor hidden in one of the side wings of the new drawer system and put two ARB air line quick disconnects on either side at the gull windows for easy access. Compressor is switched on with a matching Apielle stainless...

With the dash out, I also pulled out the evaporator, HVAC diverter housing, entire blower assembly, and all the ducts and vents too. I thoroughly disinfected all of the ducts, disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled the evaporator assembly, and...

When the cruiser arrived in Yokohama, my broker was kind enough to send several hundred photos and 4 or 5 decently long videos going over the entire vehicle and everything that was perceived to be wrong with it at the time. One of the concerns...

There is an outside chance I will be down there visiting my mom, and if I can swing it I will try to make this ;)

Doing both axles at the same time was definitely the right call. One of the front hubs had virtually no grease in it, which was pretty shocking. With only 149k on the clock, I doubt these have ever even been serviced. I reassembled the whole...

Photos continued:

Just got It back home and admiring all the hard work Jason and crew at ozark overland put into it.

Ah yes, I am already a member. I had the truck out at Cruiser Days this year as well! The truck is all torn apart again, but I will have it back on the road again for spring, hopefully.

Wow dude, that is one inauspicious start to your 81 experience :eek: Hope things improve for you quickly. An 81 with an FT is a great vehicle. You're a local, so pop over to the Coastal Cruisers board here on mud and say hi. We sadly aren't a...

Afternoon solo run just to get out of the house. Local trail I’ve heard called the slabs. This one’s not on the chopping block as far as I know. Fun trail. Tight forested climb up to exposed granite. Parts of the trail remind me of eastern...

I'll be out of town... again :frown:

One of these shapes is not like the other... One of these shapes doesn't belong...

After a lot of research, comparing modules, and testing, I wanted to share a confirmed fix for the Japanese-market 110 km/h cruise control limit on my early HDJ81. Model: 1992 Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ81V Engine: 1HD-T 4.2L Turbo Diesel...

This… Plus this… Equals 🥰 Cheers

Jim Brantley, there's a name from the past. Does he still have Knuckles?
