    Hilux  Original or OME / Ironman torsion bars for 1992 IFS Hilux?

    Should I replace the original torsion bars on my 1992 IFS Hilux with OME or Ironman torsion bars? Do they improve the ride quality? The car has more than 200.000 km / 125.000 miles and I recently bought new Kayaba shocks, new control arms and various other parts. Should I replace the torsion...

    Will the LEVEL 8 Hauler 16x6 wheels fit?

    Has anyone tried the LEVEL 8 Hauler 16x6 wheels on a J70? Would they fit the front wheel hubs or do they require some machining? I've seen that the Level 8 MK6 do need machining to fit Land Cruisers. The lug nuts' holes also look quite small on these. Part number: 1660HLR006140M08

    Steering knuckle arm is very close to the rim

    The steering knuckle arm on my RJ73 is very close to the rim and that makes rim choices really limited. As you can see in the picture below, there's only a half inch gap between the arm and the edge of the rim. And that is because I've put some old 16' rims from my BJ42 and they are quite narrow...

    Floor to frame seal

    I am rebuilding a '92 RJ73 and after I separated the body from the frame I noticed two sponge-like parts attached to the frame that were in a bad shape. Does anyone know what is their purpose? Can leave the car without them or should I replace them with something else? They seem impossible to...

    OME or Iron Man greaseable shackles and pins on stock leaf springs

    Has anyone tried OME or Iron Man greaseable anti-inversion shackles and pins on the original leaf springs? They suppose to fit since they have two pin sizes (15 and 18 mm), but do they work well with original leaf springs, do they have the same length as OEM shackles? What would you choose...

    Should you grease the leaf springs?

    I am in the process of restoring the leaf springs suspension on my '81 BJ42 and somebody recommended I should grease the leaf springs. I've searched the forum and the internet and came across divergent opinions on this matter: NO, you should never grease or oil the leaf springs because...

    Help me improve my suspension - BJ42 3B 1981

    I have an '81 BJ42 with the 3B 3.4L diesel engine and from the day I bought it some years ago I found the ride to be bumpy and tiring, especially I if use it outside the city for trips longer than 30 min. I'm not sure if the shackles are ones the car came with, but I think they are in the...

    Light / Heavy Duty J70 Body Panels & Suspension Differences

    I'm in the process of getting a younger sibling for my BJ42 (3B engine) in the form of a medium wheelbase FRP top 70 series. I've been browsing the forum and different sites for some time I can't find definitive answers for a few questions so I thought I could ask you good people since you have...
