Seems like I've got a little treasure in my garage

😂🤷‍♂️ the car and parts are still present

Are you sure? $10.000+ for the OEM Aisin Winch?

Hi mate, just wondering where you get these specs from. I found the repair manual and this number is nowhere mentioned: https://www.sugarlump.no/cruiser/HDJ-80_11.pdf

Sorry mate, it's gone already

Hey everyone, I’ve got an 80 Series Land Cruiser with an automatic transmission, and I often need to use low range for steep hill climbs when off-roading. My question is: if I’m climbing a steep hill and it’s too much for the car, causing it to roll backward, what’s the safest way to reverse...

What did you use to clean the solenoid/shaft? What did you fill with penetrative oil exactly? Sry, pretty new to this stuff

I'm excited to share the culmination of our ongoing project: a custom fitout for our 1996 Toyota 80 Series VX Limited, designed for long-term travel and off-road adventures. After months of planning , we’ve completed the build, and I wanted to give you all a detailed look into what we’ve done...

Great advice, thanks a lot. I've saved it, and when the time comes to make changes, that's what I'll refer to.

Hey mate, Thanks for jumping in. The entire service, including flushing the oil and transmission, was done about 8000 km ago. I'll check the transmission cable next—thanks for the hint. I've added that to my list as well. I'm still running the stock exhaust since it's in near-perfect...

Sry, been away. Entire car was imported stock standard. It even came with the factory bed/kitchen 😅. I'll bring it to Cornell Diesel Systems North Brissi and see what they say. Thanks Mate, really appreciated your help

Yep, imported it last year in November.

Are you serious? The car picks up around 1200rpm but I can definitely feel a boost at 2100rpm. Maybe I should get this checked.

Nope, everything standard and turbo kicks in around 2100rpm. Is it supposed to start by 1800rpm?

Ok, great, will give this ago as well in about two weeks time when I'm back home. Yeah, turbo kicks in around 2100 revs
