Wheel bearings are the same. .. I have a 1990 hdj80 and they are the same as my mates 94 fzj80

Has anyone got a good dimensioned drawing of an 80 series? I am particularly looking for the body at the moment but whatever you have I am interested in. basically I have an idea for a roof top tent that i will model up and post to get some feedback... If someone already has the...

Mine was doing this as well... it got worse and worse and then I found out the Cat converters were blocked... once I removed them it was all good... having said that I'm not sure how to test if that is actually the problem... I thought it might be so I went ahead and did it... removing them is...

I don'k think speed itself matters... It is the power required to move the car that dictates the amount of energy(fuel) used (more power=more fuel). So my conclusion so far is that it is best to keep the revs where the engine gets its maximum power output per revolution (for me this is around...

Yeah just filling up and doing the maths no fancy GPS or anything Dougal i guess you were joking but avoiding top gear for a tank might actually be a way to test it... then i could avoid 1st for a tank and see if there is a difference... will probably destroy my truck doing this though. It'll...

So far high revs and low load seem to be better. I managed 650 to this last 80L fill up which is 100k over the last few. It'll take a few more tanks before i can say for sure though... it could have just been good diesel or my gauge being dodgy

I think that is the same on the 1HZ. it doesnt seem to matter where I have the pedal its either on or off. I havn't installed any gauges yet so can't say what my EGT is. So far I've got 420 to half a tank cruising around in 4th instead of 5th!!! ... now the top of the tank is much bigger than...

I have had my first diesel now for a few months. turbo hzj80, I get about 500 - 550 ks to the 80L main tank (sub tank is there but doesnt work yet). I am aware that diesel's fuel delivery is governed by load on the engine so my question is... Am I better off to drive with higher revs/less...

I think there could be some useful additions to this setup... An accumulator, a large ram and a tube to make a "hydraulic cannon" WHY? ... because with a grappling hook and a f**kload of cable fhultgr could have the first landcruiser that can winch himself backwards up a cliff! alternatively...

Great thread landtank thanks Power Steering pump -hp line>winch -hp line>steering box -low pressure line> reservoir This makes sense... PS should be unchanged when driving but do you lose much when winching?

Alot of talk about winching when upside down... Now I'm yet to roll my truck but why would you winch it around whilst upside down? Why won't a hydraulic system work upside down (apart from the fact that the engine wont be running)? wouldn't the precharge in your accumulator be greater...

So are you guys using the power steering pump to drive the winch or just the pulley? I was thinking along the lines of replacing the AC compressor with a hydraulic pump but never thought of using the PS pump already there. Can you link that thread I can't seem to find it If you do use the PS...

That is the greatest thing I have ever seen!... It must have cost you an absolute mint! I've thought about making a hydraulic winch setup but I'm put off by the need for a tank somewhere. It looks like you know your s**t on this stuff so I hope you don't mind if I hit you up with some tech...

That is some aerial you have there on your tailgate!

No cruise control, manual, full time, no sunroof, no lockers no freezer... actually pretty much no options. I think they are just for optional extras that i dont have I printed off the FSM the other night (all 1500 pages!) so I will check the wiring diagrams out Thanks
