Narrowing it down some, i’m the wire goes through connector IG4 terminal 13. I cannot seem to find this terminal in the wiring diagram that i have though

Hey everyone, having a starting issue with the 80 and looking for some help. It is a 1993 HDJ80 with a 5 speed, euro spec. Here is the sequence of events: Had an abnormally cold day here (around 5 degrees F), drive to work fine, went to start after work and barely cranked and wouldn’t start...

I have a European HDJ80 that also doesn’t have the ratcheting once pulled all the way out. i think this was an American safety standard and wasn’t on overseas models until later. you could always swap the seatbelts from an American 80 that have ratcheting if you wanted the ease of installation...

do you have any better pictures? i checked out their website but can’t see close ups that are clear. i’m living in Germany right now, and those are WAY cheaper than US prices.

Hi everyone, had a couple quick questions. saw that some guys on this thread were shipping through the military, but never saw anyone close the loop on the process. I am stationed in Germany right now and have a HDJ80 originally from Belgium. Here is the purchases that happened: military guy...

Coming soon, 2021 GR Yaris seats. picked them up local yesterday and ordered my planted brackets today. they sit a little high, so i’m making some custom brackets to lower it a couple inches. the seat rails are also a little wide for my liking, so the brackets basically move the rails inwards...

Hey everyone, quick question… is there any specific reason that the coolant lines need to be looped after removal? I know this returns the cooling system to the same configuration, but is this loop needed for proper operation or is it solely there for the ACSD? i would rather cap off the lines...

Nice! looks like a clean rig. where in Germany are you? I just got my HDJ80 last month and live near Kaiserslautern. have you found any good parts sources locally? i’ve been ordering everything on partsouq and the import taxes are killing me haha.

only thing i could imagine is different is the inlet size on the nozzle side (due to gasoline nozzles being smaller for the idiot proofness) which would mean that the trim around it and gas cap might be different, but could still be made to work most likely. if anyone wants measurements, let me...

Partsouq has them in stock for a diesel at least. don’t know how much of a difference it is between diesel and gasoline. just finished replacing the rubber portion between the neck and tank yesterday, and spent about 2 hours cleaning the 1/2” of gunk built up on it. only a couple spots of rust...

First thing was to ditch the seat covers, I’ve always hated the cheap ones that slide around. not sure what seats these are under them, but they aren’t in great shape. I’ll add this to the list of things to change.

Hi everyone, I recently acquired a 1993 Land Cruiser HDJ80. This will be where I document the journey of baselining and modifying what the family and I have named The Jabberwocky. I am new to Land Cruiisers, but not to toyota. I have been in the 4runner family since I could drive, and i have...
