Just picked up a nice 2016 Prado turbo diesel with 125k km. VX trim. We are not going to go nuts with mods and buildout on this as the Series 80 will be the adventure machine and the Prado will be the “luxury” car for airport runs, dinner dates, on road trips etc.
We would like to fit a pair...
So my rig is a HDJ80 with PTO winch. I recently had to use the winch when taking the "shortcut" from Volcano Arenal to Monteverde when my kids were visiting. There was a small landslide blocking the road but it had two ruts in it from another vehicle already having crossed it. I went for it...
I spent too much time searching and watching YouTube videos and I'm just not clear. My slider isn't working because the cable doesn't move at the valve when you actuate the sliders so I'm trying to manually put it in closed. I'm not sure if the cable pulls to close the mixer or if the cable...
My HDJ80 is in Costa Rica. I am in a remote area right now 5 hours drive (half offroad) to San Jose, my mechanic and Toyota parts.
How far can I drive with this leak? What am I going to destroy if I drive while losing this oil? Is this the diff oil coming out?
So I have a '93 HDJ80 in Costa Rica. I was on a long journey over last 3 days way down in the Southern Pacific area (Zancudo, Pavones, etc.) Ran a bunch of back roads and trails. All unpaved and many with a rocky surface that jiggles the car endlessly. After I got back to pavement I noted a...
This item was on my '93 Land Cruiser in Costa Rica. I took it off and bought back to states because some forum members expressed interest in it. It has been sitting in garage but time to find it a new home.
First $50 takes it. Free shipping to CONUS.
If you want to call or text or email...
Want to replace this with identical if possible. It is from '93 HDJ80 left hand drive.
The reason I am replacing mine is because the plastic covering is no longer "stuck" to the metal rim inside. The plastic rotates a bit around the metal rim inside and it drives me crazy. I need one that is...
Brand new never used in original Slee packaging with instructions. This sells from Slee for $69. I bought it when I first get my HDJ80 in Costa Rica thinking this was one of the must have things for a Series 80 but then I realized that my Costa Rican HDJ80 already has this button in place (it...
OK. I've got a great HDJ80 in costa rica. It is our daily driver and only vehicle (at least until my Wolverine RMAX4 1000 is delivered.) We love exploring Costa Rica and need a capable rig. I have dented and scratched rear bumper and rumpled the side steps a little bit. I want more armor so...
I was going to buy from one of the excellent vendors here and have shipped to Costa Rica but it is crazy expensive to ship and labor is very cheap there. My "guy" said he can have anything built - just tell him what I want.
Short of just sending pics of some good products any suggestions for...
Other than ARB. I have a good contact at ARB Costa Rica and they can get anything ARB but I'm not a fan of their rear bumper. My last trip down I got hung up in a river on bunch of big round boulder and ended up denting/scratching stock rear bumper so good excuse to get some more armor on...
My rig is in Costa Rica. I had a good buddy down for a trip recently and we did some wheeling in the jungle.
Found a package at home today with this inside.
For comparison sake
My rig is at my 2nd home in Costa Rica so I can't look/evaluate/plan very well but I think I want to bring new J.W. Speaker LED lights down next trip. I have limited tools and installation resources there so I want to try to get a good plan together before going so I am not dealing with wiring...
the size of the base plate under the emblem? I want to get rid of mine next trip down to my house in Costa Rica. I was going to purchase a flat emblem with 3m tape to put over hole or get a custom emblem made (maybe come up with a Burro del Pantano logo?) to cover the hole.
By the time I get...
I want to get rid of it. Obviously the only right way is to patch and pain the entire hood. Any creative ideas for a work around. perhaps a flush badge of some kind?
I'm going to try to bring a "TOYOTA" grill down next time too. Hopefully Southwest will let me carry it on. ARB bumper...
Greetings to the forum. I just registered after using this site for various research leading up to my purchase of a 1993 diesel Land Cruiser in Costa Rica. I have a house there and decided to go ahead and get a vehicle which will be used for both airport runs and for bashing about the jungle...
