    A strange thing happened on the way to work today ( or 500 000 km ticked over)

    As I was on my way to work this morning I noticed an idiot light I haven't seen for a while was on. Time to do the timing belt again! Oh, I nearly forgot.....................It also turned over 500 000 km so I guess I can call it run in now. Not the best pic, but you get the idea.

    In cab winch control in early curved dash

    After much procrastination, I finally got around to organising my in cab winch control switch. It started life as an antenna switch, but with a bit of help from NLXTACY's how to threads I have relabled it as the pics show. The antenna symbol sorta works for the winch I think, and they do look...

    Sway bar mounts - Mine look different to the FSM

    I have just put new bushes in the rear upper and lower control arms, and figured I might as well do the sway bar rubbers and mounts while I was at it, as they were just about to drop out on their own. I got all the rubbers and cushions I needed from the local dealer only to find when I got...

    New Boots : BFG M/T KM2

    At the risk of being flamed for starting yet another tire thread, I just wanted to post some pics so here goes. After waiting months for them to become available in Australia in LT 285/75R16 I have finally picked up a new set of BFG MT KM2 for my truck. I have had BFGs in the past in the old...

    Have I got my crank bolt tight enough??

    I am wondering if a 275 lb bloke pulling on the end of a 5' breaker bar with most of his weight will generate near enough to 362 ft/lbs to tighten the crank bolt on my 1HZ? OK, now the story behind the question The strange rumble on start up that had been happening for a few days, turned out...

    Anyone in Europe have an EWD for rear fogs?

    As the title says. I am looking for an EWD for a European or UK spec 80 with rear fog lamps. With winter coming on in the southern hemisphere I have decided to sort out a set of fog lamps front and rear. It would be great if anyone can help with a wiring diagram for the factory set up with...

    Early OEM fog light switch Part No.?

    I have found several posts on the later square switches, but I am wondering if anybody can supply a part number for the earlier curved style of OEM fog light switch to fit along the top row of the dash as pictured below? A number might at least stop the dealership from saying "but 80s don't have...

    AltFuel  Cleaner engine oil with B100?

    One thing I have not seen discussed anywhere, (maybe I'm just looking in the wrong spot) is whether or not running B100 makes any difference to the amount of soot collected in the engine oil. As biodiesel is cleaner burning, with more detergent properties etc., etc., Doesn't it follow that...

    Can anyone in SoCal do a bloke a favor?

    I have a Xenarc in dash display that I am hoping to use for an in car PC install. I have picked up a 2nd hand unit on ebay which needs a new ribon cable to make the screen work reliably. The problem I have is getting money to Xenarc in Santa Ana to ship me the $15 part. They will not (they say...

    Steering box Specs / Interchangablity

    The steering box in my truck is leaking and I have access to a change over from a low milage wreck, but my truck is a '93 and the wreck is a '92. Does anyone know if the steering box was changed in the '93 update, or are they interchangable? I seem to recall someone (maybe Mickldo?) talking...

    1HZ injection pump tacho pickup

    Can anybody tell me if there is any difference in the injection pump body for a 1HZ with a tacho pickup, vs one without a tacho pickup. I have had one diesel shop tell me I have to replace the pump if I want a tach, another tell me they can rebuild my pump and add the pickup, and a...

    After market tach & dash illumination?

    I have just fitted an Autometer 2888 Tach to my HZJ80. It's nice to finally know RPMs. I have hooked everthing up as per the instructions but am having problems with the lighting in it. I picked up the power for the light behind the rheostat for the dash lights by tapping into the white wire...

    Differences between H150F/H151F 5 speed

    I did something horrible to the gearbox in my HZJ80 on Thursday (Lots of banging and clunking!!!) and need to find a rebuilt/2nd hand box for it. My understanding of the diesel boxes is that the H150F has a 21 spline input shaft and goes behind the 1HZ (HZJ80) whereas the H151F has a 14 spline...

    Mirror wiring plugs?

    I am looking at putting electic mirrors on my hose out (base model) 80 which didn't have them from the factory. (Nor does it have power windows or central locking.) I have found the plug for the switch behind the blanking plate in the dash, beside the lighting rheostat, but am wondering what...

    Rear Axle Splines. How much wear is too much?

    I have been putting off doing my rear wheel bearings for a couple of weeks. No major problems, just PM. Anyway, I finally bit the bullet this morning and got into it. After pulling out the short axle I noticed some wear on the splines as the photos show. I ASSume the long one will be the same...

    Vibration coming from rear axle???

    G'day, I'd better introduce myself before just jumping in and asking questions. I have been lurking (mainly in the 80 section) for a few years. I run a '93 HZJ80 which is closer to a 70 series in terms of running gear than an 80. It is a 1HZ with 5 speed manual and part time 4wd so any questions...

    Rumble/Vibration from standing start?

    I have tried searching but I am wondering if any of you can help me diagnose a vibration I am getting through the seat of my pants as I move off from a standing start (very scientific description eh!). It sort of feels like really baddly scalloped tire(s), but goes away as soon as the...

    AltFuel  Biodiesel or Snake Oil???

    I stumbled across this site today, and was wondering if any of you guys had heard of or maybe even used this stuff? http://www.dieselsecret.com/ It sounds like it converts WVO into something resembling biodiesel, but not quite? Being the confirmed skeptic that I am, I have always...

I'm in Melbourne, Oz, running an HZJ80 with a 1HZ diesel and 5 speed manual gearbox. I've had the 80 for 8 or 9 years after my...
