Hey mate good, been abit busy this week with a few things. Got the EFS 3" lift kit in, upgraded shocks to XTR. 80 searies rear in the front, and I forgot in the back 009 model number I think the 79 rear maybe I would have to check receipt don't have it with me atm. I went with 350 rear and the...

Good advice mate cheers, appreciate the help :D. Notching the sump it is ! Now for suspension next, then 35s, then decking out the inside. Most major company's only do 2" lift kits, the only 3" 80mm kits out there use extended shackles which are illegal. As I said earlier I can get a engineer...

would I get the HZJ75 1hz sump? or the 105 1hz sump? or are they the same thing

Cheers chappy, yeah don't think ill be putting roof racks on it. Cheers Locked you have been a great help.. the 1hz does seem to have a shallower middle section however does it hold less oil overall? The current sump looks a lot bigger. Im guessing I would need to swap sump, oil feed and...

I am having mixed feedback to go the 1hz or 1hd-t sump, oil pick up + dipstick. I am waiting on Toyota to provide me a details on both sumps but have yet to get back to me. Google isn't being much help . Current sump is

So perhaps like Clint mentioned I should look at pre 90 hj75s with 1hz sumps? Are they the same volume ? is there anywhere I can view all the different sumps which fit this motor having trouble finding pictures. Cheers guys What would give less chance of roll over, 2" lift on 33s or 3" lift...

in regards to OEM suspension, they say they only do the 2" kit, but I can ask for them to reset the spring pack to 3" can I?? It seems all the 3 " lift kits around are only 2" kits with the 1" extended shackles.. which are not legal. I can get 3" lift and 35s engineered but no extended...

Hmm where would I go to look at different sumps? Just walk into Toyota and talk to their parts department ? The sump dips down like 1-2 cm and then a few more cm to where the point of contact is, then further back into the sump dips down once more to where the oil drain plug is.. So after the...

The troopy already had the engine and running gear installed, im guessing the guy sold it due to the sump issue as it has been pretty hard trying to source a solution for it ! It seems all 3" suspension kits here in Aus for leaf springs are the 2" kit with extended shackles to make 3" , which...

Cheers for the reply's guys ! That explains it Locked79 - I'm having a lot of trouble with suspension shops here in Sydney, some don't want to do the job and some are just messing me around. Today I went in to enquire about a 3" EFS leaf spring kit installation and moving the front diff...

G'Day G'Day, My names stevo and I have just purchased a 1985 HJ75 Troopy and recently joined these forums, so I thought I would introduce myself a little. Born in Sydney, straight after HSC, landed a scholarship in computer science but my heart lay elsewhere and took off to Alice Springs...
