Thanks.

Nevermind I found what I was looking for in the FAQ Retro fit Locking Diff to Non Locked Housing Can't figure out how to delete this thread now that it's unnecessary. Just ignore, I guess.

Pipe dream: when I'm famous and rich, I want to triple lock my HZJ80. Currently I've got manual locking hubs on the front, with no locks on the centre and rear (same as the average HZJ79/8/6). I'm a complete noob and not terribly mechanically inclined, but trying to learn this stuff as I go...

Thanks all. I'll try the cool water on the injector pump head experiment and see if it works. I have access to a very good diesel fuel injection workshop, so that might be my next stop. Thanks again!

- I have a 1994 HZJ80 GX (non-turbo 1HZ) with 380,000 kms on the clock. For reference, I'm based in Kenya, where our best quality diesel is probably not up to par with average diesel elsewhere, but I only buy diesel from reputable, international companies (Shell, Total, etc.) - When the engine...

So not exactly "this weekend" (more like "this month") - but did a 4,500km trip to Northern and Western Kenya towing a trailer. Northern Kenya is renowned for being extremely remote and inhospitable. Western Kenya is a little more "civilized", but we still had a good adventure, especially at...

My driver side window (RHD 1994 HJZ80 GX) has been giving me issues. The window glass itself seems very tight in the channels, and has to be pushed down from above. The window regulator (the X-frame thingymajig) flops around and doesn't hold the glass firmly, thereby causing the glass to come...

My temporary solution was to use velcro until I could figure out something better. I was literally about to rip them out with brute force one day when I was fed up and so red-faced angry I couldn't hold a screwdriver steady.

@Delancy yep, that's the one. Found it on the EPC and I'll check with local suppliers. THANKS!

This was pulled out of the steering assembly on a 2013 HZJ79 I'm in charge of. I've been told this is the reason the horn no longer works. I am clueless when it comes to vehicle electrics. Maybe something to do with the airbag? I'd like to know what it does and if this number is the part...

Awesome video. Thanks!

Hi all, My 1994 80 GX's rear hub is leaking fluid from this one single nut (as shown in the attached photo). A couple of questions: 1. How serious an issue is this in the short-term? 2. How big a job will it be to fix it? I'm assuming some seal is compromised? I'm a bit of a novice when it...

Thanks everyone for your help. Might try flushing it and starting again with new fluid to start with. If that doesn't solve it, I'll try more invasive stuff like fiddling with the crimp and seal. Cheers people

Please excuse my layman terminology (I'm no mechanic): So after a long trip I took out into the desert, my power steering reservoir has been giving me issues. It seems to be leaking from the lid (the oily residue begins at the top, not the bottom of the reservoir exterior). I've checked the...

D'you have a photo? Did you buy it online? Link?
