    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    What a sweet piece of gear. I am so jealous to see all your crazy modified 80's. I wish germany would be a more open to such gear.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Ordered more stuff to again overhaul my flooded front axle. Decided to crazy: CV's Seals, Bearings just all the stuff gets rebuild and repainted. Love to keep the 80 clean. Meanwhile my wife used the 80 to drive me to our local dealer. Guess what arrived after 5 months? The GDJ150 Land...

    Sticky windows

    If you have not money to buy new parts (doesn't matter what parts) follow these general rules: 1. If something makes noise, moves slowly or does not move at all. Something is not right. Do not force it to work! 2. Remove the part from the truck. 3. Disassemble the part CAREFULLY as far as...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Been so busy the last couple of months and neglected the 80 series too much. Decided to disassemble the malfunctioning ARB compressor. Pretty intresting what's inside there. If your compressor is mounted in the engine bay, I highly recommend to extend your air intake for the compressor, if you...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Finally wrapped the interior in 6mm sound insulating material. Topped it all with a layer of rubber mat's. Reassembled the interior back again. Very satisfied with the results. AND recieved a call of my Toyota dealer: My brand new Land Cruiser Prado 150 arrived. Going to pick it up next week...

    Builds Land Cruiser HZJ 80 Diesel Build

    It is an OEM Spare Tire Carrier. And I love it. No rattles. Well made. Light. I have the Asfir Corner Capping laying here around. Which is a low weight alternative to a full bumper. Will report on this later. Currently I am once again in the states - what a beautiful country, awesome guys here...

    Let's see your tailgate carpet replacement mods

    Aluminium Board is the best. I had one on my 100 series with integrated storage, unfortunately the cracks and hinges attract all kinds of stuff.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Spend sunday to remove the carpet and seats to clean the inside of the flooded HZJ. Had some time left to remove the headlights, parking lights and turn signals. I was suprised how much water and mud was inside those housings. I am happy to have all of them brand new in stock and will replace...

    Name this HDJ 80 series?

    This looks not like a HDJ. I think it's an HZJ80. 4.2l Diesel naturally aspirated, no flares. I have the same model. Wheels look like Dotz Dakar.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Wheeled some muddy tracks in the Mammut Park here in germany. Decided that I had to follow the 2 short Lada Niva's. Got stuck in a mud hole. Flooded the truck up to the seats. Killed the alternator. Flooded all light housings. Drove back 180mls without any working electrics. God bless that...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    FINALLY got myself some ROADSAFE RECOVERY POINTS for the 80. They look tough and are one of the first upgrades everybody should do. Just installed them yesterday. Pretty easy installation. Made a small video covering the stuff inside the box and the installation itself. Also planned the next...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Well, to be honest - I don't care. This truck is an HZJ. It's not EU or North America Spec. It does not have any safety features except 3 point belts. No Airbags, no ABS, no ESP - just nothing. I have and want to live with that. We ordered a couple of days ago a new 150 Land Cruiser Prado that...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    To me it's useless. I am very tall and combined with my rocksliders it's easy to get inside the vehicle. That's the great thing about human species - everybody is diffrent.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Replaced glow plugs on the 80. Old ones died after only a year. Fresh ones do the trick.

    Are any of you daily driving their 80-Series?

    My company car is a BMW 3 Series Diesel. Boring car. I am allowed to use it unlimited, still I prefer the 80 or the 100. All the new cars seem to be crap from factory. The BMW had electric, mechanical and what not issues. Hate unreliable vehicles.
