Kelowna 80 Series Meetup
Next Sunday I have organized an 80 Series meet up at an A&W parking lot in Kelowna. I am hoping a few 80’s from Kamloops might show up. Any Cruiser is welcome.’
Posting this here because it looks like some Lower Mainland folks are making the trek up.

At the Christmas party at Rob’s December 9, 2023, there was some preliminary agreement of setting Saturday August 10, 2024 in Squamish for the next Cruiser Days.
Following the Cruiser Days meetup and Saturday night camp out (yet to be planned), I suggest we do the Windy Ridge Trail for our...

Aug. 12, Saturday – Squamish and Soo River Campout
Great success, stunning new meeting location, saw many varied and awesome rigs, caught up with friends, many of which I have done epic trips together. The Sea to Sky up to Squamish was a joy to drive to the...
Greg, John, Devon and I (4 80’s) are coming from Kelowna to hang out at the BC Overland Rally next weekend in Merritt.
The weather looks good.
Who else is going … thinking about coordinating camping at the event site.
A few pictures of our last foray into the wilds, including Whipsaw (actually Lodestone Lake for some of us), China Head then through two gate by-passes either side of Red Canyon, then up Gaspard FSR to Farwell canyon , including the Sheep Junction Park at the the north end of the confluence of...
One of several winter projects all ready for the wheeling season.
100 watt thin film solar panel attached to a James Baroud RTT (not easy).

Free shipping to Richmond - I can bring it to the party Dec 9.
My James Baroud RTT solar fan quite working after 3 years, which I rely upon to keep the inside dry in cold weather (mostly condensed breath).
I suspected it was the battery - a sub-C nickle metal hydride battery soldered in place. I called the dealer in Seattle and he sent me a entire fan...
I have a 1995 HDJ81 FT with the A442F transmission and have spent hours searching for the transmission ECU (#89530-60140) and can't find it. The transmission ECU was used in 1995.01 through to 1996.08 Landcruisers (the part # applies to that production interval).
The diagrams and pictures I have...
I have a 12v Toyota OEM Aisin 1000 electric winch, rated at 3600 kg in near new condition for sale from a 1995 Japanese spec 80 series. This winch was never offered as an option in North America.
The Aisin winch has a built-in relay solenoid that only connects power to the winch when the...
I finally got around to installing the LCP front sway bar disconnect kit for the 80 series. With the sway bar disconnected the truck will have more wheel travel which helps keeps the tires on the ground for better control and safer wheeling. This can reduce the chance of lifting a wheel, which...
