A little maintenance this weekend. Yesterday I got a much needed welding job on a broken exhaust hanger. Today was an oil change. 21,441 kms or about 13,332 miles. The last oil change was at around 9,000 miles. Runs like a top and is now ready...

Best engine Toyota ever built. I have one in our 80 and one in the troopy. Would be the perfect swap. I recommend posting a video with the oil fill cover unscrewed and just sitting on the treads while the engine is running. Good luck mate!!

Just an example of what a reputable business will do; I am eating $15k on a job right now which may go to $20k. I feel it is due to subcontracts and overseas parts. However, it’s my business and it went through me with my recommendations to the...

Nice work, Galen. 💪💪

and just 25 months later….

Last night I finally got everything bolted together. The airbox lid is 80 mm or about 3.15 inches. I bought some 3.25 inch silicone couplers and a 12 inch 45° intercooler pipe. I cut it down to size and used a cheap bead roller to make absolutely...

Selling for a friend. This came from a low-mileage US Army LAV that was demil'ed after the Afghanistan withdrawal. I was told the truck had less than 100k on it when disassembled and based on the condition, I believe it (factory bar code...

@Mag71k5 I had a lot of cruisers at that time and just acquired a larger farm. Between various Land Cruiser builds, and building the infrastructure for the new farm, I decided I need to slim down my Land Cruisers. The red 80 was fantastic but I...

:cool:

Thanks for this information. I was able to repair the gear. I had a machine shop we know the owner of cut the keyway larger on the gear, and then they manufactured a custom step key. they also had to polish the taper, and machine the cap nut so...

After putting it all back together....I sat in the cab, turned the key....click. Again...click. Battery load tester: 400CCA on each battery. Out the door to Batteries Plus at 4:42pm, in their door at 4:57pm (they closed at 5!), and home by...

@gilmorneau and @ikarus THAKK YOU. Today’s theme was reuse, reduce, recycle. I reused sme old vacuum line, the plastic T, and the line hold down clamp. I will replace this vacuum line with fresh when it gets here from Partsouq next week. I’ll...

If it's only the EGR you want to delete, there's not much to it. There's one vacuum line that goes to both VSV's that operate the two EGR valves. That vacuum line can be removed and capped. Follow it from the EGR VSV's back along the intake...

I ended up with a very simple setup. I can't remember all my reasoning since it was a couple years ago but here are some pics and a diagram. I have a total of 4 vacuum lines. SICS and BACS are tied together with a T and go straight to vacuum...

Time to lean on y’all for a little advice. This is a 19 97 Euro spec HDJ80. I want to delete the EGR and not have all the lights go off on the dash. Pump still has SICS and BACS. I’ve started searching through MUD, but can someone give me the...

I had to order some extra piping to go from the 80 mm/3.25 inch airbox lid to the 3.5 inch G turbo. The factory OEM tubes size down to 2.5 inches which just didn’t make sense. Clamps, piping, and couplers are on the way, as well as a bead roller.

Got the correct quad headlight clear corner lens sub harnesses from Stedman. Much lower profile than the standard harness at the bottom.

I finally got moving forward on the PDI intercooler. I picked up the correct early valance from @Hamachi to suit the turbo grill. I had to clearance the lower valence edges quite a bit. The turn signals fit with just a tiny bit of overhang at the...

Well lookee here. Dang it. I knew I never throw anything away.

Greg, it's the taper on the input shaft of the infection pump AND the taper on the gear that's bigger. I'm sending a Yanmar 6LPA-STP pump and the -STP injection pump gear off to Australia to have it de-tuned and the shop promises to send me...

Had some free time and decided to take a better look at the calipers, and as I thought they both had a couple frozen pistons. Slapped a set of calipers that I had in stock on it. I'm letting the crusty rotors ride for now, old pads had a good bit...

I'm at least the third one who asked Dave to order these. He said MANY PEOPLE ARE ASKING.

Spectacular, Ian. Just spectacular.
