I am driving a HDJ100 up from Latin America right now, 1HD-FTE. Extremely reliable and not even close to gutless. What do I know though!? 🙄 Here is the oil after 265,000kms and over 2,000kms since last oil change. Ya all keep enjoying your...

Did that mod on my 2H/12HT

On @gifu ‘s suggestion I picked up a 95-97 FZJ80 air cleaner lid instead of the HDJ80 lid I am running. Better flow always wins.

I would just get the 11V ones and do one switch/relay direct, simple.

I tested different glow plugs once and it’s surprising how fast the wrong ones will come apart. The proper slow glow ones will take full voltage for only about 3seconds or so, any longer and they go Kaput.

I would say the square relay is you’re after glow. With after glow setup you need the proper glow plugs.

It's a good size for the Troopy and still gives you easy access to the door handle. It's also relatively lightweight since it's made of aluminum. Going to put recovery gear and a fuel can in it. Backwoods Adventure Mods has them on sale, too.

Ute going into hibernation. Also drained/refilled coolant.

The same but lower KM

Would be nice

Hmm… thanks for the tip. I’m not too worried about it anymore since I will be swapping out the engine

I mixed and matched cluster parts and finally found one where everything works except the fuel gauges. I replaced the kmh speedometer overlay with the mph overlay from the cluster I had built. I checked and replaced all the lightbulbs. For...

Cheers

Oil and filter changed. Getting her ready for winter hibernation. Wife wants her spot in the garage back

Finally found an affordable winch. 😁

interesting search. good to know other options

Yup, fill-er and giver, it doesnt spill much My stupid 3b filter is this way too, huge design fail

Even mounted on it's side or upside down, you can prefill the filter and let it sit a bit and soak into the filter elements. Not a perfect complete prefill but better than not at all.

So we have reached 6 years (Okay, it was the day before yesterday officially, but still...) This rig has come a long way in the last 72 months: 5 international trips, two awnings, 4 different rear build outs, 3 rooftop tents, 2 different...

Move quick and spill a little. I suspect it doesn't really matter though.

I have a plastic dash era 79 series and it didn’t come with delay wipers… how is that even possible? Feels so 60’s to me. Anyways, after some searching it seems everything is the same on delay vs non delay wiper trucks. Only the wiper stalk...

Changed the oil and filter today, been six months already

Camping spot Mornings were around freezing. Buddy heaters sure add to the moisture content in the tent with two people when it’s cold out. Need to make sure I get the Espar diesel air heater installed by next summer-dry heat
