I have these mats from Unique Mats. They are absoloutly brilliant. They are molded to suit, they couldn't fit more perfectly. Its dark in my shed so im using a torch for these photos which make the colour look a little more off. In real world light they look genuine. Of all the mods and stuff...

This is the PDI intercooler. Pictures from their website. There is definately no room for an auto cooler unless I completely remove the grill which isn't an option. Also I don't want to swap in a manual transmission. I've driven manual Landcruisers my entire life and I'm still loving the...

Hey guys just seeing if anyone has any ideas or has done anything similar. So I'm currently trying to work out how I'm going to power up the 61. The current plan is a new Gturbo, 3 inch exhaust and have it dyno tuned. It's going to be pretty expensive and ideally I'd like to install an...

Incredible job mate. This is probably my favourite 40 of all time. I loved what you've done with the gauges and diff lock switch. Keep up the good work!

I just thought I'd add I installed Terrain Tamers Parabolic kit on my HJ61 earlier this year. It's incredible, I'm not exaggerating but it rides better than my 80 series in comfort. A short wheel base 40 will be different but if it's even half as good as the ones in my 60 it's 100% worth it...

I've had the Terrain Tamer parabolic springs in my HJ61 for probably 6 months now so I rekon I can do a bit of a review They are super light. Way lighter than the old leaf packs. You probably shave off 20kg - 40kg. They handle and feel incredible. It really does make the car feel like it is...

Hey mate i believe it was this one...

Cleaning my shed I just found another kit. It comes with 2 grommets and the metal sleeve. I cant remember if I bought it from Toyota or a online shop.

I use a Lokka in the rear and have the front unlocked. I spend most of my time in the Vic high country, on average I probably go away two weekends every month. I love the Lokka. I feel it's fine on road. It bangs every now and then on road in real tight carparks, but off road it turns the car...

I believe you can still get the rubbers genuine. I just replaced mine last week with genuine I bought a while back. Before I had the genuine ones I used rubber grommets that you would use for pushing through wires through a firewall. They worked pretty good. You can get em from any auto parts...

Wow I can't believe I never thought of that. Is it a straight bolt in job apart from enlarging the hole?? I had completely given up on ever having an electric antennae again. Good job!

I put brand new 76 series genuine electric mirrors on my HJ61. FJ62 will be the same. They cost an absoloute fortune, but I really wanted the electric ones. They plug straight in a electric works amazing, super smooth. The mounting isn't 100% perfect, but it's definately close enough. There is...

Ok the 3B is fixed! So I was fully convinced either the injector pump had failed or the timing gears had somehow failed. I was about to start pulling half the car apart and I thought I better ring the injector shop first to check how long their wait time is. I ran him through the symptoms again...

Yup definately keep it! It's part of its history. I've never even seen one in real life before. If you can make it so it work somehow even better.

I just finished opening up and inspecting the fuel control relay. It looked fine in my opinion. Only one spot that had a tiny bit of powdery substance but I don't think it was anything. You can see it in the first picture, it's in the middle of the board to the left. It's definatly never...
