    For Sale

    Have a trailer hitch for sale for an 80 series. It was bought new for the truck and used one summer before I wend another way with my build and had to remove it. It's a class 3 hitch from U-Haul and basically new. If you are interested PM me. DW

    Who the hell are you? ( intros )

    Two tone bandits. The paint has grown on me after all these years. I'll definitely come out to the next meet up in town and try to get out on a trip. Its been a slow build. Lots of bugs to work out still.

    Who the hell are you? ( intros )

    New wheels and tires.... I'm a little easier to spot now around Deadmonton with my new sneakers. 9+ years on the road in Capital City as a lone wolf with my beast....

    Pro Comp Xtreme MT2 vs Cooper SST

    I'm running the Xtreme MT2s. Just got them, but so far just road experience. They hum but don't howl, there is no lug slap. I run them on a diesel and my roof rack engine makes more noise at highway speeds so the hum its really nothing to me. I have them mounted on 16x9 wheels and they look...

    LED dash light package?

    I sort of did this upgrade. Installed the dome, cargo and map light. They are super bright. I have the bulbs for the dash, but I have not installed them yet. I got the whole package together. The gauge cluster is a PITA to get at, I've removed it before, but I won't do it until one of them...

    Possible HDJ81 purchase, thoughts?

    I must admit I do not tow any distance with my 35s and stock gears. I have a set of 31s I throw on the truck for any serious towing with hills, but as I have said my trailer is probably closer to 5000lbs all set up. I also have a G-Turbo Badboy set up that gives me some more power to the...

    Cruisin' Offroad Sliders

    Not sure if this helps or not... Jason can set them up anyway you want. If you want sliders like wings he can do that as he makes them custom.

    Possible HDJ81 purchase, thoughts?

    I have thought about the valve body upgrade for the lock out of 3rd gear, which you spend a lot of time in towing in hills. I used 4low a few times myself to get cooler temperatures on long stretches of road. You need OD lockout to cool the transmission and you can achieve that at 40km/hr. I...

    Possible HDJ81 purchase, thoughts?

    I've had mine in Alberta for 9 years. The trucks are reliable, but any truck that age is going to need maintenance. I do everything myself and that is part of my enjoyment. I also don't use it for commuting to work so if it sits in my garage for a few weeks apart, or even a month it's not a big...

    Edmonton area mechanic list

    I've had good luck with Len at Automotion in the west end. He is fair and seems to have a really good appreciation for Japanese diesels. I had him remove my injection pump so I could have it rebuilt at a local specialist diesel shop. Len and Automotion was great, the diesel shop was another...

    Lost key on JDM HDJ81 Land Cruiser

    Go to Lexus, don't waste your time with Toyota. They will likely have a smith they will recommend to you. I had go to Edmonton Canada Data Safe Fireproof Data Safe Storage Fireproof Data Safe Data Safe Storage (Edmonton)as they were the only ones in the area who can cut a key that style...

    Fuel Leak, 1991 HDJ81

    I just had the same problem. I assume you are in Canada where you are driving a HDJ81. This is a pretty common problem with the Japanese imports and there really is not cheap way out. If you know what your doing you can fix the seal (probably the top seal) yourself, but in all honesty the...

    Heater Too Hot or Too Cold

    Seeing as it's winter time I thought I would add my 2 cents about the automatically contolled heating system. If you are having problems and your heater core is not plugged, then the water valve and blend door servo motor is the problem. The flow of coolant to the heater cores is controlled...

    Heater input needed

    It's pretty easy to do. There is no need to do any plumming. The coolant flowing to the heater cores is controlled by a water valve in the engine bay at the top and just right of centre of the firewall. The valve is actuated with a cable control. Just disconnect the cable from the water valve...

    Personally I'm holding out for the next generation Fords. I hear it's a Quad Turbo, 12L, 10speed 8 Door (F-Million). They are designing it for the Alberta Soccer/Hockey Mom Association. It's supposed to come standard with Panda Skin Seats, 30" wheels, and bumpers with pikes on them to...

    Can someone explain to me what the F%@$ is going on w/ diesel prices?

    Diesel is definitely cheaper to refine per litre than Gasoline. But in demand with US/Can markets, gasoline is still king and therefore more competitive pricing than compared to diesel. The US has significant extra set of taxes on diesel verses gasoline.There is no conspiracy to it, just math...
