It's M16 x 1.5 (with 22mm hex head diameter) on mine.

I've been driving 80 Series LandCruisers for ... call it 30 years. Admittedly I drive them hard, use them for work mostly. I do not get the electric window mechanisms to last anywhere near as long as a decade! Same for the mirror mechanisms. For me a major draw of LandCruisers over lesser...

Why?

Heya has anyone tried (successfully or not, the value of failure is widely underappreciated) to retrofit manual ('wind-up') windows on an 80 Series? Electric windows (and mirrors) are *the* Achilles heel of the 80 Series ... along with the powersteering pump of course :).

Hi @JohnnyUtah2. Well I tried everything, short of getting the Jigsaw out. Tried both fenderless and fender- compatible flaps. Nothing did the trick. Ended up modifying weighted aftermarket mud-flaps from West Coast Offroad: West Coast Off Road | Off-Road Accessories - Cabracks, Lift Kits...

You were right, '93-'97 flaps are a bit different from pre-'93 ones (not just the hole pattern). Just ordered them, wish me luck.

Sorry lots of irritating autocorrect typos in there!

Thanks for posting!!! Woah that guy sure got it down. Not sure those are factory mud flaps he used, though (?). I actually have a full set of factory mud flaps from my other LC ('91 80HZJ), spent hours playing around but there is *no way* to make 'em work with the kut-snakes on my '97 HDJ80...

Hi all, want to jump in on this thread with a challenge I have not been able to crack. I too have installed kut-snake fenders (see pic). While I like the fenders, on my 8" lift / 40" tire setup the mud kick back is out of control – I desperately need some mud flaps that will fit this setup...

Oops thanks!

Looking for extra brackets for ‘LabRak’ roofrack. Company is extinct. Any leads welcome! - djJ.

Hi all. I am looking for an extra pair of brackets for my ‘LabRak’ roof rack: Love the rack but company no longer exists so hard to find parts. Any leads most appreciated! - djJelt.

Greetings @Devils_Paw_80, @COYS, @mudgudgeon: For what it's worth I've seen regional differences in the lexicon around 'Landie'. Generally speaking I've found 'Landie' to be in common use to denote both LandCruisers and LandRovers in English-speaking parts of the Southern Hemisphere, which is...

Sorry that was sloppy of me; above should read GLX trim and 1HD-FTE engine.
