    HDJ81 Engine Light

    Thanks - you're right...that is the e-brake light! HA! For some reason I thought it was an engine warning light. Sounds like the alternator needs some attention...maybe I'll take it from there. Thanks for the help guys!

    HDJ81 Engine Light

    The last few times I drove my '90 HDJ81 around, the warning light has been coming on (the one that looks like this - (!) ) It comes on once I start moving, and goes off every time I stop again. I can't figure out if it's from the engine revving that sets it off, or the movement of the truck...

    hfj81 or hj61 ofr towing a travel trailer?

    I'm loving my HDJ81...but I'm not loving towing with it. It's...ok but A/T temps have been an issue for me here in BC. I have a tranny cooler too. Plus don't expect to go anywhere too fast... I certainly have no regrets...but towing is not its strong suit...for mine anyway.

    Really? I switch between gears a bit...maybe this is it? If you are driving in D, then switch to 3 say at 90kph...this will unlock it?

    outside temp was 10c, no AC, no OD. A tranny temp guage is definitely on the list now.

    Thanks for everyone's help! Definitely sounds like I should be able to expect more from it based on what other people are doing. I will have to poke around a bit, and see what's happening!

    Good ideas! It is a JDM import, but the folks at ATEB were impressed with the condition of it relative to all the other ones they have seen come through... they seem to think it's performance is about on par with how it's supposed to be. The engine performs well, aside from what I think is a...

    No it's the A/T light on the bottom of the cluster...not the turbo light.

    HDJ81 Towing Underwhelming...

    Good ideas...thanks! I'll poke around some more with this. I had the cooler installed at ATEB (reputable with 81's) before I even picked it up for the first time, so I have no before / after comparison.

    Good idea on the tranny temp gauge! The trailer is good though...it's definitely the LC...

    HDJ81 Towing Underwhelming...

    As I look toward a new camping season I've started thinking about the underwhelming performance my 1990 HDJ81 has towing my 21ft aerodynamic 3000lbs travel trailer. I used to tow this trailer with my '99 4 Runner V6, and to be honest I wish my new old rig could do as well with it. It has 33"...

    HDJ81 Factory Winch in ARB Bumper?

    Does anyone know if the factory winches that come on the Japanese HDJ81 will fit, or can feed through one of the ARB bumpers? I'd like to change the bumper, but don't really want to buy another winch. My truck is not here yet and I'm dreaming ahead... Thanks Jon

    Hello From Northern BC!

    Thanks! Hopefully I'll be driving it shortly into the new year. We passed an 81RHD heading south to Prince George this evening on our way back to Chetwynd. My wife rolled her eyes because she knew I'd be talking about it the whole way home. Great looking unit you've got. I'm starting to...

    Hello From Northern BC!

    Hi, thanks! The BEB's are definately first up. That's a good idea on the rad cover...I will check to see if it has that.

    Hello From Northern BC!

    I'm not sure they are pre-wired, thinking back to a couple of 81's I looked at in Van. I pulled the carpet back and don't 'remember' seeing any anchor points. I will let you know of any details on it as I get them. DOT approved?...don't know about that. I did ask him specifically about the...

    Hello From Northern BC!

    Yeah I think he's pretty busy, but he's been good at emailing. He said there were a lot of 3rd row seats available over there from the gas models. The seats were an extra 50,000 JPY installed. About CAD$450. He's done it before and says it's pretty straight forward. Not sure if it's a...

    Hello From Northern BC!

    Thanks...very anxious indeed. I am driving my family nuts! So far so good with KK. He sends a lot of photos of stuff he thinks you should see. His aim is to make sure you are not surprised with anything He is also very patient and will photograph anything you would like to see. He is...
