I haven’t had the time to do this yet. Anyone else?

Oh wow that’s horrible. So sorry to hear that, I hope it went okay for you. I get what you mean but I think the pressure would be the same as the same hydraulic cylinder is working bigger pistons. It may do the opposite as it’s like a Venturi effect. The bigger the orifice the lower the...

The issue with brake bias is more to do with the lspv in the rear of the truck. If you have lifted your truck it messes it up.

Guinea pig at your service. I have ordered these parts ans will keep you updated.

Has this been done for older land cruisers? I have just ordered the damper and hinge and gonna modify the 80 series one and make it work... will update if it works seamlessly.

It turns out it was the idler pulley, busted bearings inside.

I have had my original compressor reconditioned with new condenser, new dryer but expansion valve wasn't replace as the AC shop said it was fine and if it fails they would put the new one in. All working for them and put 800cc of R134a gas in. This may be a bit low but it was working so they...

I have just done this mod, very nice and brakes crazy well now. No ABS but haven not skidded yet....

I would like to do this job, good write up, thanks. I have one question...how do you connect to original lines? why have you used hard lines? why not just flexible lines to connect back to original?

What about all the hard lines? I will get a new Evap and ev abs yes I can get a shop to do it. Do I need loads of kit to do it myself?

I am UK based and R12 is illegal here, I am sure mine has had R134a in but its been left open and hoses off before I got the truck, I have got the dryer, condenser and compressor(rebuilt) and now just need expansion valve and evaporator. What do I need to do to ensure its clean before I recharge...

Sorry, I meant for flaring and replacing all of the hardlines

I replaced the rusted dust shields on the back of a 1991 JDM HDJ81 in November last year. I had trouble with the hard lines for brakes and I used the rubber lines to rotate as the copper ones were just corroded. I have seen the "manifold" where they all go, or is it the proportioning valve?? It...

I have a HDJ81 Jap import, I think I understand the system now but two things I still don't understand.. 1. Where is the evaporator? 2. How do you actually flush the system as my pipes were left open when I bought the truck, I am replacing all parts but not sure how to do it. Also how to I fill...

Did you end up making these?
