The part is not available in Australia either but though it may be useful to someone. I shall crawl back in my little hole now. :)

70 series Door Check Straps.

70 series 1HZ insulated fuel inlet hose. After my last two builds, it was great to see so much still available... even using some later items on earlier models... very versatile indeed!

Yes... 79 series has... VDJ has a totally different trans tunnel floor... anything after 2000/1 (not 100% on this so don't grill me) is different to the 75... I know that a 2000 HZJ78 Troopy is different as they have an R box, not the H55. They also have a foot rest with the manuals as earlier...

Ok... I thought only gray was available for 70 series now. As for models... HZJ73/75. I know they are different... but a 75 will work. I have suspension seats in my 73 so that also throws a curve ball. The later 79 floor/tunnel are different to the 75 as well. I've use an aftermarket vinyl for...

I've been out putting a few more miles on the Middy... absolutely luv driving this thing! Still working through engineering and getting the AC sorted atm... They look a treat together!

Hi all... I'm sure this has been brought up across all the Landcruiser models before... Vinyl flooring... What is actually available still... and more so... who has stashed one (or more) up in their attic for a future build? I have spent some time searching and ringing around with very little...

Hi Matt... Thank you... yep... I had it on the bench and went through it... well... I did what I could and then tested as much as I could before fitting it into the 73. I didn't want to hack the petrol loom... I used everything 75 so it made sense... dash cluster, metal frame, wiring loom...

Thank you sir... 🙏 They are a very versatile vehicle indeed... Beno... would you know where I could find numbers for HZJ73 vehicles delivered to Australia? or any numbers as far as how many were built? Eric

Hi all... I'd like to share our current build for those interested. We have had our FJ73 MWB for some years now... I recently finished a HZJ75 ute build and really enjoyed working on these modular masterpieces... so much so I decided to tackle another build on our 73. The Middy is a 1986 FJ73...

Doubling up the gaskets is a good idea! 👍

Thats all you can do. I think using genuine flange gasket and sealant is a must as well. The mounting flange on the exhaust manifolds could also be warped... would be good if there was a way to machine them flat again...

Ok cool!! thats a bit better that my local Toyota!! I think that will be a good option for sure.

Hi there Pete... sorry... I not been on for a bit... yes... seems like the 94 header pipes are NLA. I still have not changed mine as yet. Like you... Im thinking that we can make the 95's work but it all depends on cost.

Awesome! Thanks very much for your reply. I did have a read of the bulletin and although it seemed to relate to certain cars in the US, it was interesting to find out just how important the fluid is. I am certainly more educated on brake fluid thanks to the the know how here. As they say, you...
