And pics from the electronic box and EGR . Note the EGR grafted to the intake pipe . Edit : From my friend's 2001 HZJ78 . Edit 2 : Note on the first foto , of the box , the sticker reads "Engine Control Unit!" , and on my friend's 78 , the sticker reads "Emissions Control Unit" .

I don't know , sorry . All I know is that 1HZ powered Land Cruisers , sold to general markets and later registered in Germany , have that box and a grafted Toyota EGR system , to comply I think with Euro 3 or 4 ( not sure ) so that they could be registered in Germany , A friend of mine has a...

Hi Giacomo Your 2008 HZJ71 was probably sold in Germany , and to comply with emissions , the company Huberfarzeugtechnik from Germany , made and applied those control boxes in Land Cruiser with 1HZ engines to be sold in Germany . Not sure if your 2008 HZJ 71 has OBDII or if the HZJ71 was...

Glad you are OK ! Best of luck with your BJ75 . Not easy/cheap to find body/chassis parts here in Europe . Hope you find them there in USA .

These are the rubber floor mats of my 1999 HZJ75 , sold new in Sweden . I think they are original . No part number stamps though .

With freewheel hubs locked , you should be able to pass from 2 high , to 4 high on the fly with no problems ( depressing the clutch as when you change gears ) . That's how my July HZJ75 , with H55F with split transfer works . On suggestion though : Check tyres pressure to ensure that rolling...

The most simple way to get Bluetooth & hands free in a 24 volt cruiser is to install a 24 radio . This one is a truck radio made in Germany by Continental . Bluetooth & Hands free . Works perfectly and is rock solid . I have an older model , made by Kienzle . Search by Kienzle , VDO or...

Hi fj73perth Just buy a cheap digital thermometer from eBay and it will give you an accurate reading from the head/radiator . You temp gauge is reading high . I suggest that you check your viscous fan and belt also ! Good luck !

Hi Bosch fog lights are not OEM . The switch looks OEM . I know several European spec BJ45 , with 24 volts that have a similar switch . They were used to power the factory installed trailer harness when you hook a trailer . I believe that some older North American cruisers such a switch also ...

From Portugal , Merry Xmas to All ! Happy Cruising !

Hi Bottombracket My HJ61 is the same year model than yours . AC condenser is NLA , but there are alternatives . Some 4-5 years ago , I bought a new one from a Danish company , Nissens , Condensers , that has them or manufactures them . Bought it through their portuguese importer . Not too...

Thanks Exiled ! Daniel is a perfeccionist and I can brag of beeing a bit guilty of Daniel doing such an outstanding work ! Cheers !

Your BJ40 from Portugal has 12 volts electrical system . Only market in Europe that had the 12V system . Both the BJ40 and the BJ45 . They were assembled in Portugal from 1978 to 1984 . All other european markets had 24 volts .

There is a fuel temp sensor inside the tank also , attached to the fuel level sensor . I don't have a diagram , sorry .

The fuel temp sensor is located inside the fuel tank , and it is this fuel temp sensor that triggers the heater located on the fuel primer .
