as the title states, my hdj79 (1hd-fte) is randomly throwing the engine warning light. It is starting to come on more often now, 3 times in 20 minutes driving ect. Shutting off the engine and restarting it after 5 seconds fixes it. Details:

Hey fellow mudders,
I recently acquired a hdj79, build date 10/01. This will be more of a repair first than upgrage thread, and i plan on keeping this old girl a little longer than my last couple of cruisers. A little back story:
The cruiser came from a place about 4 1/2 hours from where i...

Hey fellas i need some help re a dual fuel setup for my hzj75. First the back story:
My hzj75r had no dual fuel tank from factory. However alot of the Australian delivered ones did so parts are easy to come by. Now i have a trip planned that goes through some territory that is lacking in good...

I have some fyrlyt 250w spotties and when i switch the lights off i have to also turn off the spotlight switch. Normally my spotlights should not turn on with the lights off. When the lights are on my spotlights act as...
Hey guys, i recently brought a 95 HZJ75 as the title suggests:). Now, i brought this after the sad and regretful selling of my 40 series, a HJ47. i brought the 75 because i needed a better dd than a 40. to say that i achieved that, brought the 75 for less than i sold the 40 which is a win...

hi guys, new to the 70 section so... go easy:):)
so, I've always been a cruiser man and don't really desire to change that:D. my first cruiser was a HJ47 which i had owned since i was about 15, now, i'm 18 and it's unfortunate but i have to move the old girl on. so, i need a replacement which...
hi guys, so i have a hj47, as some may know, that i put a 12ht into. now i have been driving it lots but have never been able to figure out how to make the old girl shut-off. ideally i would like to make the key work but i am stumped as to how i would achieve this. my cruiser had the 2h with the...
hey guys, just after some help. i have brought a 5-speed to go into my hj47 so that she's a little better on the highway. the 5-speed has the j40 top hat on it (yes you read that right, i found one:)), it came out of a bj42. i have a few questions though. firstly:
will i need to change my input...
hi guys,

hey guys,
I need your thoughts on a new alternator for my 2h. I need a 90+ preferably over 100A alternator. this is because I plan on running a pair of Fyrlyt Nemesis 9000 250w Halogen spotties (freaking awesome lights).
now just got the phone to one of the designers, (great bloke, really...
hi guys,
looking for a bit of help, I can't seem to post pictures as thumbnails anymore. every image will be posted as a full one and it can make pages look untidy. I used to have an option to do it but now I only have the full image button. I've included a screen shot so hopefully you can see...
I also have up for sale a front diff centre out of my HJ47. had it working, works a treat. pulled the axle from the ute to make way for a new one. the ute has 178,000 km's on it and the diff centre has not seen any use with me and barely with the previous owner. great condition.
I really don't...
hey guys,
I have a genuine underbody bash plate. selling because it's too wide for the HJ47 I brought it for. it must be a 60 or 70 series one. does have a small cutout that I reckon was to make room for a PTO shaft (refer to photos). has been painted black, was no rust on it when I got it.
