So I jumped in the 40 this morning to take it for a run, gave it a glow and noticed the controller not glowing like it does normally. I could not get the old girl to fire up at all and the first thing I thought of was the glow plugs. The current plugs had been in for around 3 years/20000k's...
Hey guys,
Today i replaced the diaphragm in my B diesel. It was tricky to get too even with the EDIC motor removed. They cover plate still had lockwire on it, so i assume the diaphragm i took out was original. Anyway i replaced both my fuel filters at the same time. I primed the system and...
Hi all,
I recently scored a "Customer Service Facts & Figures" brochure on the FJ40 from back in 1970. Says on the bottom that it was published by Thiess (sales) PTY. Limited, which were the sole Australian importers and distributors. I thought a few of you might like to see some big pictures...
Well, i replaced all four glow plugs on my 79 BJ40 today. Looking at the state of the plugs i pulled, i guess it's glad i did! Plugs #2 & #4 were blown out on the tip. :eek:
Now it doesn't get very cold where i live, compared to some places you guys reside. The lowest it has been is maybe 5...
Well i just bought a BJ40 yesterday. :bounce:
I've been looking for a BJ42 for a while, but the few i looked at were pretty neglected and asking a for too much money in my opinion. I went out and looked over this 79 BJ40 that come up for sale a couple of days ago and put a deposit on it right...
Hello guys, I've been lurking around the 40 series and diesel tech sections of mud for a quite a while now. I've always loved 40's and right now i've got my heart set on a BJ42.
I've had an 80 in the garage for the last 4 years and currently i own a 1997 turbo-diesel 80 series and it's...
Falco80's HDJ80
Well i just recently picked up my ultimate 80 and i'm wrapt with it. She's a 97 HDJ80 with the brilliant multivalve, mechancially injected 1HD-FT. All white, with white flairs and alloy bar. Everything is pretty much stock Toyota with the exception of springs and shocks, which...
Hi guys, after a recent day out wheeling i had a quick check under the cruiser and everything appeared ok. I do recall hearing a couple of loud bangs as i crawled up a steep rocky climb, near the end of the day, but figured it was just the rear hitch or sidestep smashing the rocks. I was under...
Bolted up some new slotted front rotors yesterday to replace the originals. Replaced the pads and front wheel bearings too while i was at it. The wheel bearings took me a while to do, as it was my first time, but it all worked out ok. I love the massive 4-piston calipers on the 80! It's great...
Hi Guys and Gals,
I've been visiting this awesome site for a while now and i decided to join up today and become part of the action. My name is Dan and i'm living on the west coast of Australia. I've had my 80 for almost 4 years now and i just keep loving it more and more...:D
It's a 92 model...
