I may have missed it, but who did the diesel conversion?

PM sent re: left and right headlights from the 1991 FJ80.

Agree with the above. A larger exhaust is required to handle the increased air flow the GTurbo produces and avoid excessive EGTs. But keep in mind that higher air flow on the exhaust side also means higher air flow (vacuum pressure) on the intake side. This higher vacuum can cause oil to seep...

Here’s the best way I can put it. Owning an HDJ81 in the US needs to be your serious hobby. Otherwise, you’ll think that keeping it running in top form is too time-consuming, too expensive, or both. You have to enjoy the learning and the doing of the mechanical work yourself. And you have to see...

Diesel Fuel Injection Services in Portland services my 1HD-T injectors and does excellent work.

I’ll pick them up. PM sent.

A heads-up to anyone intending to rebuild their 1HD-T injectors: I discovered last week that Denso has ceased production of some sizes of 1HD-T pressure adjusting shims listed in the Toyota FSM chart.

How much for the upper instrument finish panel? I can pick it up.

Mine is fully hydraulic. The FSM for the hydraulic A442F appears to show some design differences. I was hoping to see more of a similarity in serial numbers, as it would be nice to have a backup for parts, and the price is attractive. If you were a bit closer, I’d probably take a chance. Best of...

Yes, a fully hydraulic A442F from a ‘91 HDJ81. I don’t suppose you have the frame number or VIN from the donor vehicle?

Could you post a photo of the serial number plate (example below)? Thanks.

I’m in need of one BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2 tire, 295/75R16. It can be new, or used with approx. 12/32” tread remaining.
