Thanks! ok yeah my vin shows model code HZJ73LV-MNW. I'll continue the research!

Thanks Juan! Do you have a resource that you pulled these from? Partsouq did not give me the right numbers.

Is 67831-60180 and 67831-60190 the same as 67831-60170? I'm just confused on what I saw on Partsouq.com and megazip is out of 80 but has 70. So just trying to understand what I'm looking at.

I learn something new every day from this forum. I will go grab a bottle of fluidfilm today.....I went down the rabbit hole watching videos of people doing it to their entire cars. I'll look around for the foam that will work, and where to source the plastic. Thanks!

Oh...I feel like an idiot. I read "Remove the grease nipple and drive a bumpy read to haven the yokes compress and excess grease being squeezed out." as I needed a "bumpy read" like it was some kind of tool, but it was so much simpler, just go for a drive. My bad, that is WAY easier, I will...

Thanks Ralf this helps me understand the pieces of the car better. I meant like what would you buy to put in the zerk fitting when I remove the nipple? I can guarantee I put to much grease in so I’ll remove some

Woof, ok well I’ll be taking those fittings off today then. Can you help me understand the rod thing better?

Got her on the lift today for: Oil Change - AMSOIL signature series 15W-40 Synthetic Diesel Oil - filter (90915-30002), plug (90341-18021) <- thanks OGBeno, and gasket (90430-12031) The newer 10mm allen bolts work great. Transmission Oil change - (The severe gear instantly made the shifting...

Oh wow that’s awesome! I’d love to do that to my doors, my lock/unlock switch doesn’t work. Did you get a guide for this? And where did you get the door plastic for it?

Awesome! I appreciate this, yeah I had a few but obviously not the right ones, I was scratching my head with the repair manual but I’ll be more vigilant. Plan to do this soon as well.

BCM - first.....we seem to live "close" to one another. Just thought that was neat, I grew up in Loudoun County a long time ago. Anyways, when you did your diffs and trans, did you use AMSOIL Severe gear or the AMSOIL Manual Trans Gear Lube. They are both 75-90 and I've seen both used so I'm...

More accomplished this weekend! I just got done with the fuel filter replacement and whoever put the old one on did NOT hand tighten. I ended up removing the entire housing and doing the screwdriver twisty method. New one is a happy camper (Toyota part 23303-64010). Ralf - I took your...

Thanks all for the info. I don’t know why I assumed it was Japanese, it even has a service sticker in it from Norway. My brain just assumed that it was shipped there, but what you’re saying makes sense! I did a full coolant flush yesterday following Cary’s procedures: Coolant Flush Process...

Thanks Juan! Really appreciate the info. I will keep the top on for the time being and do more research. I will look to source the lap belts and figure out where they can install. Ugh I was hoping it was just paint but that makes more sense that its the panel I guess. I will research...

I've been on and off the forums now for a few months and finally decided to post and introduce myself and my car. I recently inherited a 1991 HZJ73 with 218k km on it, left hand drive (I believe Japanese spec). This is my first Land Cruiser. I love it and want to do what I can to learn...
