I am doing a coolant flush for the first time on my 1994 HDJ81 (1HD-T) and I cannot find the engine block drain anywhere. Any help is appreciated. The importer put in GREEN coolant … so I want to clear it all out before I put in the correct coolant.

I want to say that you forgot to mention drink a beer too, but we all know that we don’t have the appropriate cup holders in our land cruisers haha.

I am the proud new owner of a 1994 and it is my daily driver. This is my first official post to the forum. I was wondering if anyone knows how to install a toddler and/or newborn car seat in a JDM 80 series. One is forward facing and one is rear facing. I have these hooks on the end of a...
