    LJ71 Replacement Steering Wheel Options?

    Too many white knuckle moments have taken their toll on my steering wheel, I can feel the plastic coming loose from the steel rim underneath my hand so I need to find a new one. The stock item has been a good fit for me, plus it says "LandCruiser" on it :cool: ...but I'm guessing a new OEM...

    SWB on 35s - Wheel alignment tuning Q's

    Hi All, I'm hoping for a little knowledge from the hardcore here on my plan for improving the setup in my heavily modified LJ71 to get her driving a bit nicer on the street. 4 years ago I swapped in an 80 series rear axle & a Y60/GQ Nissan front axle, using the donor axle suspension setups (or...

    Good Compact 12V compressor?

    I'd like to mount up an air compressor under the hood of my 70 series but space is tight. It would be really tidy if I could fit something in alongside the battery, that space is ~12"L x 5"W x 6"H - I know there are plenty of cheap crappy little compressors that would fit but I'm happy to spend...

    Gearbox compatibility - HZJ78 R151F vs LJ71 R150F?

    My gearbox is getting a little noisy so she's in for a rebuild. Looks like a few gears need replacing, new is silly $$$ & ex Japan so I need to track down some parts. Scoping around 2nd hand first but a backup plan might be this new box for sale locally: Brand New Toyota R151F 4WD Gearbox So...

    Cleaner control relay? Can I junk it?

    Wondering if I can get rid of the 'cleaner control relay' just behind my right headlight. I think it's something to do with the non working headlight washers. Is it connected to anything important? All the wires from it go back through the firewall as far as I can tell. Will continue tracing...

    80 series rear axle/suspension into narrower chassis?

    Hi All, after a few grenaded diffs in my LJ71 I've got an 80 series rear axle & a Nissan GQ front axle to swap in. Anybody else put an 80 axle & coils in a narrower chassied vehicle? (must have been done but my search fu is weak) I'm planning on retaining the suspension geometry of the axle...

    Matt paint - How? Which? What?

    Hi Guys, I'm my LJ 71 is in the shop getting a bit of trail rash beaten out & I'm thinking of doing a full repaint in matt army green. The stock two tone metallic paint is still fairly solid but is going white in a few places & I never liked the brown on brown look much anyway. The job doesn't...

    Oil press gauge dead - fried something

    Hi guys, while I was waterproofing the 1UZ the other day a redundant wire from the old 2LTE loom fell on the exhaust & subsequently fried itself, at the same time the oil pressure gauge & 4wd light stopped working. I checked the gauge sender unit with the meter & it still works ok. I'm...
