Since we don't smoke, replaced the lighter... Next is a digital.

It's been another month! I have finished all of the welding that needs to be done on the driverside of the vehicle. I'm so burnt out on it I'm not even going to grind anything down or make it look somewhat decent at the moment. I just want to get...

I can chime in a bit as I have owned a few 80's, 100's and now a 70. -The biggest problem with maintaining a 70 series is replacement body parts. Interior and exterior. If you smash a fender or your front grille, its not as easy and coming on...

Welcome. A. You can daily drive anything if you try hard enough. That said... Diesel Toyotas aren't the best short mile DDers around! Be sure to give her some long hard miles too. I daily either a HZJ77 or 73 depending on the current state of...

I would skip the HZJ77 and look for the HZJ76 from Japan as those are now becoming importable.

Finally added in the temp sender in the radiator hose and went for a test. Only got about 45 drive in it so not a real big heat sink. 93F today, running down the interstate at 65mph. 2350rpms EGT 769 12psi 188 degree water temp. I still have...

Another weekend, another few projects knocked off the list. New cambelt water pump rad hoses turbo coolant hoses thermostat etc. Modified and chucked some old drawers in the box. And also redid the deck with some new transply.

it's a lot. aiming to get a good start on timing, h2o pump, radiator, coolant hoses, and a/c system this weekend. I've had a lot of help from @OlYellr and my son korbin, and my wife emjay. as in wouldn't have a fraction of this done over the...

making some progress over the last few weeks. lots and lots of electrical, side window removal and repair. I'll just post some pics, in no particular order. modded coastal kit. tire carrier soon. side windows out. window weld is the spawn of...

120,000 miles young. 27 years old. Amazing. I put 10,000 miles on it officially. Love this thing and it's cold ass AC

My kzj73 had a small but annoying rear main seal leak since the day that I bought it 2 years ago . Ordered a new seal and called the guys at Terrain Tamer US to upgrade the stock clutch to a HD clutch ! While in it I dropped a set of 4:1 gears in...

I've put about 6000kms on this trailer since my last update, from around Alberta, down through Montana, Idaho, and Utah. It has been absolutely flawless and has gone places I didn't think it would ever go. Here are a few pics from various...

Shot of my Bj73 (well, parts of it), with mount Mont Blanc (🇨🇭).

Quick trip to Baker lake yesterday for some swimming. Snagged a shot of Mount Baker on the way out. Hard to beat summer weather in the PNW.

Got this as a backup part for my HZJ77 but going a different route now so I don't need to hang on to it. Brand new Toyota sunroof glass with the rubber gasket. The rubber gasket itself permanently glued onto the glass and is not sold...

Some useful heater hoses from Toyota: 99556-30500 is a 500 mm bulk length. You can get less or more by specifying the length you want in the last four digits of the part number. 87245-14500 is a 90 degree bend with about 100 mm of straight...

Cheers

I was able to find it here: Original Custom【公式】オリジナルカスタムパーツ車用品専門店｜SANO AUTO - https://www.sano-auto.com/original_custom.html (scroll down to "BJ Grill"). Looks great! I reached out to them via their contact form on their website about trying to...

I've gotten this combo out for a few trips in July already, mostly within a few hours of home. I'm hoping to have my gullwing window before the end of the summer, but the duct tape tint is holding for now.

I drove over the Blue Ridge via Swift Run Gap to get license plates for the newest member of my little RHD fleet. Could only go uphill at about 40-couple mph but it's good enough. EGT's did not get too high. Boost was off the scale. Monument...

Snagged a set for an HZJ77 like 2 years ago from our favorite parts person named Dave. Little more wheelbase than a LJ70 but here are the part numbers I used. Outer LHS Rocker – 61402-60010 Outer RHS Rocker – 61401-60010 Inner LHS Rear –...

Ceramic is the new digital. In the 1880s nobody knew what digital meant but consumers had to have it. Ceramic is the new digital. A great way to bilk the customer for an additional $150 in unnecessary crap which they dont understand... The mark...

No data, got it.

That did concern me. Wish I had experience with standard carbon tint to compare to, but that's unlikely to happen. Since you have strong opinions on this, feel free to share any data you have on carbon vs. ceramic tint and why ceramic isn't any...

I want to respectfully push back on the idea that this thread—bringing together concerns already raised by multiple community members—somehow caused the outcome here or influenced managements decisions. This thread didn’t create the problem; it...
