Hi all I'm looking to order some 4.56 gearing for my shorty as with 35s and a 1fz it feels really under powered down low and I constantly have to grab 4th or 3rd when I want to go upwards...which happens quite a bit here in Colombia. Can anyone confirm what spline count a 2003 fzj71 would...

Good to know, thanks for that bit of info. The owner of the shop I plan on taking the car to has a tidy 80 series, so I am sure they will be able to have a look between that and the 73 they often have in there to potentially see if there's a match. Won't know anything until after Easter as...

Thanks I got in touch with my local workshop of choice yesterday and they said to bring it in when I am able to. Given there's a national holiday all next week here it'll have to be after that, which given I don't have the week off work means I probably won't drive the car anyway. The 80...

Fair point, will have to grab some and get underneath it this weekend. Assuming this is in reference to my experience with Toyota. I've since found a workshop that does a lot of work on patrols and cruisers. A lot of restoration work as well so with any luck they know there way around cars that...

Mind sharing that link, here or privately? The biggest issue shipping stuff here is you pay 19% tax on anything over $200. I can get ship small parts like hears or syncros in batches via the US and get them in no worries but a gearbox will be a nightmare. But not out of the question if I can...

A few pictures from when I purchased it, I haven't taken a lot myself because it hasn't changed from this and when I'm out in it I'm too busy with a huge smile on my face. The best I've come up with regarding a kit, is cross referencing what comes in the kit for a 92-96 80 series kit which I...

I recently bought a 2004 fzj71 here in Colombia. It's in great shape, no rust and the motor runs great. It's been a while since I owned a manual car, and my first 4x4 so I'm really learning on the go here. My ONLY gripe with the car is that it seems to clash going into third quite a bit, and...
