I installed it on my HJ75. Needed to extend the back which was easy peasy. Harness was almost new condition and I bought all the relays 12 V. EVERYTHING worked. What took the longest was deleting the daylight box. I ended up jumping 3 sets...

Just did the worst thing I could do to my HZJ 73.... ON THE 4th of July, I have brought home an American Icon, to distract me from the stuff I need to do on the cruiser. Engine was not locked but only God knows what is the health state of it...

Finally I have working ac in my troopy. Had to look for parts from many source, but hardest part was probably the hoses and specially fittings. I wanted to use Toyota's original cooler unit, amplifier and dashboard controls. Compressor, codenser...

70s and all Landcruisers… every oil change (~3000 miles) I also grease the drivelines. Eventually the bottom of my rigs have a layer of black dry grease. Over the years it accumulated to a massive amount. I figured to tackle it with high...

Happy wife......

It's all about making your life partner happy. Morning cappuccino in bed while the sun comes up. Somewhere in the CA desert in our 80...

Finally did a short shakedown run after a slurry of upgrades. New power steering box/pump/ressy/lines, new TT radiator, HDT fan/shroud, turbo blanket, downpipe wrapped and added a second undersized trans cooler in series behind the valance. Also...

So while the troopy is being tested with Georg @orangefj45 ive been working on the galley. I’m using a CORIAN counter top. It is an amazing material. I had to counter sink the sink (😂) so built a frame from CORIAN and glue it on the bottom of...

This is how I like my cruisers best

Joe, I fell in love again!!! :)

Georg @ Valley Hybrids & Terrain Tamer

Rip it buddy. Take it to the limits. It need that. Thanks again for you and your team incredible help. You guys make it all worth it!!!

New OEM H152F installation is complete, first test drive was a success. The troopy is back on the rack for a final inspection, then we’ll put some miles on it early next week. What a fantastic build, truly a pleasure to work on this cruiser and...

it was previously repaired and not done right , so far no good body parts have gone out . I did chuck a bunch of miscellaneous mudflaps and bumper parts the other day . If I don’t immediately realize what model/version it’s from or I have to many...

New transmission is ready for install. We’ve got the transmission input gear and retainer swapped out. Installation planned for tomorrow. Stay tuned …… Georg @ Valley Hybrids

I love you Georg!!!!

Stumbled on a H152F for an amazing price, and since @orangefj45 is working on the truck, figured that we can swap the H151F with this new one. For reference, the gear ratios below as far as I know.. Meanwhile I've been working on the galley...

My dealership in Palo Alto provide me dealer prices because one of our 40 series (frame off) was parked in the showroom for a year 20 years ago while my son was in college. GM then gave me that huge discount and I was grandfathered into the...

Welded the support for the drawers today. I’ll Sika the powdered aluminum faces to them so the face of the cabinet will be uniform.

Bummer, got a call from Toyota dealer. They received a H152F and trying to get rid of. $2500 +tax. I could not resist. Lucky troopy. My buddy Georg @orangefj45 will do the input shaft swap and install it. I’m excited. Currently it’s sitting...

I have used them in my 80 for 6 years and in the sprinter van.

Dang dude. Having you stop along the road and help someone with their Cruiser is like having some guy named Jesus show up at a wedding to help with the bread and water!

I ordered a new fully assembled head from Australia with gasket kit. I’m working with performance_tube_fabrication to see about an intercooler setup bc it is the right thing to add. I see an upgraded turbo from Kinugawa turbo that is a plug and...

What are What are you doing about the head? If these are minor cracks that are common, they can be repaired. I used a shop in Oakland CA, that has been doing diesel head repairs for the last 50 years. They had CAT heads that were 7’ tall...
