    AHC LC200 takes a bow

    I do agree regarding the CSC, as it definitely raises the rear. I also asked myself if it could be front springs going soft, but the CSC should still block the fluid transfer. The habit is stronger if there has been some weight in the rear being removed after parking. Correct, no dash...

    AHC LC200 takes a bow

    Our family hauling darn stock VDJ200 takes a bow while parked several hours, typically overnight. It lowers the front and raises the rear. Starting up it immediately adjusts by first dropping the rear and then lifting the front. No drama, but it looks weird. It cracked open tube nr1 from pump...

    Noise coming from the front of the engine 1VD-FTV any idea ?

    We have a 1VD-FTV, but no sound after start up. But after three weeks of stand still; maybe something running free from oil, like cam chain tensioners or valve lifters? If this, the sound should disappear after a while.

    AHC harsh ride after shock replacement

    Update. The dealer looked at this again, receiving input from this forum as well. They claim they have been bleeding again, and that the bushings had been torqued weight on wheel the first time. The car now feels good, and as I expected with a tiny difference between front and rear, and the...

    The Land Cruiser hut...

    This thread is great. Replies are focusing on simplicity and beauty, but I also see a man with family and small kids planning and conducting a complicated logistical operation over great distance in time and space with limited material resources. You even manage to do charity and rebuild a 40. I...

    AHC harsh ride after shock replacement

    Pre-loading of bushings sounds plausible. Maybe more than trapped air, since the system itself seems to function. Tire pressure checked and unchanged at 37psi. Good inputs, thanks!

    AHC harsh ride after shock replacement

    Tnx for quick responce! According to what they said, they bled it. Height adjustment works fine, quicker than before. But yeah, I guess there can be air trapped in damping force control actuator or spring rate switching valve without that effecting height adjustment noticeably. You have...

    AHC harsh ride after shock replacement

    Dear Forum, I seek knowledge- and experience based input: As a consequence of sandblasting mishap, we have replaced both front shocks on our VDJ200 w AHC. Vehicle mileage is 225k km, front shocks are now 12k km. On first ride w new front shocks I immediately noticed a harsher ride and an...

    Land Cruiser vs Cyber Truck

    I think the year was 1993, I was a 20 yo student at an army tech university, and I saw a picture of a 6M1 colored 80-series in some rocky desert. I immediately fell in love with it, and have owned one 6M1 since 1998. I will keep it til I die, and I hope one of my daughters will keep it running...

    HDJ80 cranks, but wont start, need help

    I think it is wise to check the primer/filter unit thoroughly. If the engine does not start at all, it means the pump and filter is empty. This engine should start with fuel only in pump and at one single dose of injection. I.e, fuel is being driven back to tank by gravity when nose is uphill...

    1hdt fuel consumption

    But your first numbers are still not off. My -94 1HD-T in a light car with manual 5speed does 1,04ltr/100km combined aggressive city/hwy and some Webasto, and down to 7ltr/100km hwy. But again, light car with stock size tires. The cruising speed is also important, around 70-80km/h it is...

    Best mod for under $100?

    My best sub 100$ mod would be to adjust idle to 850rpm with hand throttle (HDJ80 m/t). Much better driveability by hitting correct rpm shifting up and down, better power pick up after shifts and after take from standstill. But I guess most forum members have to calculate in hand throttle. And a...

    Daily driving a Solid Axle Land Cruiser (I hope) for the next 20+ Years??

    The french 80 looks like a good project. Just buy it, then you realize you've found the car of your life. There is no such feeling as the feeling of a 1HD-T.

    Builds Cummins R2.8 H151 Swap into 1993 FZJ80

    Your work is absolute premium and way beyond what most of us can do. But I am a bit puzzled why you shortcut the filler tube. It will annoy you every time you're at the gas station. I have just replaced diesel filler tube on my HDJ80 living in salt, and it went ok. Compared to 3D modeling, FEA...

    Cover-less...?

    Thanks for the feedback! I have this crush on keeping it original, so your answer gives me relief from EPC and from searching in my garage ;-)

    Cover-less...?

    Honoured forum, I can not remember if there should be a cover in the rear right wheel well of my in-process HDJ80, protecting the rear silencer. I have tried looking for it at EPC, but so far no luck. Can someone please take a look and check if they have a cover in there? And if someone have a...

    Best M&S tire?

    With danger of simplifying too much: It is important to separate between "winter terrain" (WT) and "winter road" (WR) conditions. The M+S marking does not automaticly make it a true winter tire, it only makes it legal to use in winter conditions. WT favours either a tall, skinny and agressive...

    Official 35" and under!! Post pictures!!

    This thread is too good to die. Bump! 285/75-16 Cooper Discoverer M+S studless winter tires on stock 16x8et0. Up front new no name HD springs, sits level with 24yrs old stock springs in the rear. Kind of funny to read about gearing/power/mpg issues on the gasoline a/t versions. This m/t stock...
