I ordered timing belt kit from cruiser outfitters and set out to install today. The kit ncluded a tensioner that is not like my vehicle at all. Since my belt did not look very old, I figured I could just go on in and change the water pump, etc. So removing intercooler and all peripheral things...
I added bulbs to my cluster today for diff locks. Since it is the HDJ81, I found this little noisemaker and removed it.
ps-I will gladly trade it for a FSM 🤣
pss-My rear diff locks well. The front only blinks. Just about to clean and reinsert harness connectors. I am sure there are many...
Hello Legends! I just came across this mod, wanted to get your opinions or experience on the subject.
I have a 95 HDJ81 1HDFT
also wondering on a couple of other topics:
I was told dex II ATF is great additive on every 3rd fillup to keep turbo diesels running clean. Anyone doing this...
I thought I had seen a group for JDM, for now I am posting in 80 series general. Has anyone owned a JDM triple lock, or done the axle swap? I have a 95 HDJ81, yet to find a FSM in print or pdf. Am about to look for Aussie ebay. Anyone with RHD models know where the 4wd ECU is located? I have the...
I have seen a thread about removing the reverse beep module on the back of the cluster in HDJ81. I am wondering if the speedo on cluster could be swapped with a spare LX450 that I have.... anyone tried this to get a mph/kph speedo on the JDM? Also, my cruise control will not set at 115kph, will...
I am used to rotating spare in 80 series according to FSM pattern. I now have a JDM set of wheels, with no spare. Trying to determine, is it a bad idea to drive on a spare that was not in rotation? I have a set of five originals, and thinking I should just buy tires for them if I can’t get a...
Good day!
I have a set of springs removed from 97 LX450
There are color markings on each one. I am assuming this is how you can tell which side they are for... or is it not?
I am wondering if they can be used on a 95 HDJ 81, if they need to be reversed, and if it would be suitable for...
Greetings everyone! I was looking at a Prado SX 3.0 Y-KZJ78W-PET and need some guidance. It says 30th anniversary. My understanding was 40th anni in 80 series was 1997. So wouldn’t this be a 1987 model instead of a ‘93?
I can seem to find solid info on fair market value, and the things to know...
Good afternoon friends!
My transmission has recently been shifting up & down between 2nd & 3rd when cruising around town. It tends to happen when barely accelerating or coasting. Shifting between all gears is smooth. No noise or vibration or any reason to think the trans is not strong. No check...
97 LX450 Today an intermittent yet obvious problem in the Front Right presented itself. It felt like when you go from smooth Highway to the groove pavement noise and vibration. Considering temperature, After an hour drive avg 70mph, when nearing destination, in a 35 zone the problem started...
Greetings!
I am getting the power on indicator but cruise will not set at any speed. Brake fluid is full. But It happened twice that when I tried to set cruise at 65-70mph the overdrive shifted down to third. I turned off cruise power and it went back to normal. Anyone experienced with this...
Hi, I just purchased a 97 LX450 and since a freeze is coming tomorrow, I want to flush cooling system. Currently a super diluted with hint of green. I looked around and see 3 drains, should I empty, refill with distilled a couple times then red toyota???
Will there be any problems to avoid...
Newbie apologies, thanks for your patience! I have just acquired 97 LX450 with original wheels and I’m looking to lift and go up to 35s. My friend was asking about going to wheels larger than 16, and whether or not performance (on road) would be better with less rubber flex, etc.
Is there a...
