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.

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.
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....
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
I forgot the specs, Cruisin Armor (bumpers, sliders, ladder, rack, skid plates), Iron man 4 inch lift, bird dog wheels, pro comp xtreme mt2 315/75R16, gturbo, intercooler, madman ems1,
Any one have any experience with a body and paint shop in Edmonton. I have some rust at the rubber window seals on the back hatch and the rear side windows og my HDH81 that has to be addressed. Likley need to pull the glass for all 3 windows to do the repair properly.
David here,
Bought my cruiser from KKtrading directly more than 3 years ago and imported it myself. It's a 1990 HDH81 VX Limited. 2 tone burguny and grey. Its stock and with 31 BFG TKOs and is locked with a factory winch.
I'm on the north side and have been in Edmonton about 4 years. I'm...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
