Yes, so it turns out that somehow the brushes on the motor must have gotten hot and got stuck in the plastic housing. I gently removed them and re-clearenced the plastic housing to allow them to move freely again, then reinstalled. It is not difficult to do but I was looking in the wrong spot to...

Some misc photos. Happy to send more to anybody who requests.

Selling my 2001 HDJ101 "VX Limited" Legal in USA this year (25 years old) 185,000km $35,000 CAD or $25,800 USD Auction grade 3.5, imported in 2024 (I am first Canadian owner), very clean, zero rust. 1HD-FTE, highly sought after diesel, great engine. Never seen winter even though it would...

Good to know, I will try this! Thank you

Hey guys, forgive me if I missed a thread on this but many seem to pertain to the switch and not the actuator. Symptoms: When I press the center lock button, I can hear the relay click in passenger footwell, but nothing happens at the actuator (I was under there with my wife hitting the...

Thanks man, despite it being a little dusty/grimy underneath, its incredibly clean. B-Pro did the importing I'm very happy with them, I just had them powder coated at Calgary Powder Coating before throwing the Falken AT4W's on. Great price, great results!

Finally got my Dobinsons lift with SPC uppers. Easy install, JDM's are a real joy to work on compared to rusty canadian trucks. Seems to me like indexing the T bars 5 splines might not be enough. I believe going with 6 splines to get 21" from center hub to fender will put the tensioner in a more...

Is the hitch sold? Would you ship to Alberta Canada? I'll pay! Hard to get the draw tite hitches here!

Haha, yes the boat it came on was Comet Ace, and my Japanese neighbour tells me that the katakana writing on the back window says "Lan Kuru" - short form Japanese for Land Cruiser. Gotta appreciate the small details like that. I'll share more pictures when I go through it this week, should be...

Finally got the truck. I'll be going through it this week and hopefully have it registered by Friday! The short drive home was fun, right hand drive is pretty different! I did have an odd surprise, it came on original 4x4 Engineering Bradley V's, which are extremely rare and no longer...

In typical Canadian fashion I'm still waiting for my truck to arrive because of our messed up ports! In the meantime my wheels and tires showed up (5th spare not pictured) I threw them on my dads old tundra that I'll be borrowing now and again for camping. Excited to see these on the cruiser...

What tire size are you running? 285/70 or 285/75?

Hey everybody, I figure I'll get this thread going early to introduce myself and follow my upcoming build with my 01 Diesel cruiser coming from Japan, currently at 167k km, grade 3.5, old man spec. Should be arriving May/June. I plan to build it into a simple camping/light wheeling/road trip...

New guy here! Thanks for sharing this, just ordered a set of 5 MR316's in gloss titanium same size and offset! I was hoping to get 701's but unfortunately you can't get them in a 17x8 +25. Once my cruiser comes off the boat from Japan and I get the lift/wheels on I will have to share some...
