    Radiator Location for Water to Air Intercooler?

    I have a long term plan to fit a water to air intercooler to my troopy. With the AC condenser already mounted in front of the radiator, there doesn't seem to be much room to fit a water to air intercooler radiator in front of them. Any ideas on how best to mount it? I suppose I could...

    Volvo Portal Axles Under My HZJ78 Troopy

    Rather than hijack Hulsty's build thread by rambling on in response to a question from Clint79 about a planned mod to my truck, I thought I'd start a build thread on this upcoming modification for my HZJ78 troopy... I asked Marks4WD a few months ago, and they said their cruiser portals were...

    Twin Transfer Sticks for 70 Series

    I had previously seen hilux twin transfer sticks, and after working out they were not going to fit my R151F and whatever the transfer case is in my HZJ78 (anyone know?), I had a look at my transfer shifting mechanism and figured it would be possible to fab up a twin stick shifter for it. I...

    HZJ78 Troopy Diff Pinion Angles?

    Any idea of what the pinion angles on the front and rear diffs, at standard suspension height, on an HZJ78 Troopy are? Can probably try to measure it myself, though I'm not sure how acurate I would be, just wondering if anyone has already done so. Thanks.

    R151F/HZJ78: More Overdrive?

    R151F/HZJ78: More/Higher-Ratio Overdrive? I need more overdrive, as in a higher ratio, in 5th gear/high range, from my R151F gearbox and transfer case in my HZJ78. Reason is to have lower revs at highway cruising speed, 110kp/h for example. (diff ratio and tyre size changes are not an...

    PTO Hydraulic Pump for 78 Series?

    I plan to put a rear winch in my Troopy eventually. Am considering using a hydraulic winch. Would prefer a PTO hydraulic pump, rather than tapping into the power steering pump, as I assume that a PTO pump would be more powerful and possibly more reliable. Any idea what I need to get a PTO...

    70-Series Drawings and Diagrams

    Here are some scans of 70-series drawings and diagrams from the factory repair manual. I have removed some of the text, arrows and smaller parts shown in the manual to leave just the body. Might be useful when planning mods. If there is interest I will scan in some more, different...

    Triggering negative switching from positive?

    I have just had a Harrop (Eaton) ELocker installed into the front of my HZJ78 Troopcarrier. I would like the factory dashboard front locker light, in the combination meter, to come on when I activate the ELocker. The Elocker has it's own loom to power the ELocker with positively switched 12V...

    Power Windows in a 78 Series Troopy?

    Any relatively easy way to get power windows into a 78 series Troopy? Reason being I'd like to put some good speakers in the doors eventually, and I'd like to keep them above the high water mark when it gets flooded, so as high as possible in the doors, like where the manual window winder...

    RHD HZJ78 Axle Dimensions?

    I want to buy some Longfields and stronger axles for my year 2000 model HZJ78 RHD Land Cruiser Troopcarrier. Does anyone have exact dimensions for the birfields/axles/etc. (and rear axles if possible), so I don't have to pull them out and measure them before I can order them in?

    Offroad Snow Driving Tips?

    Can anyone give me some tips on offroad driving in the snow? Most people that give advice on Australian forums say to just air down the tyres, but I'm not sure if they are really getting offroad onto 4WD tracks, rather than well graded dirt logging roads. I want to get into some remote...

    Eaton(/Harrop) ELocker Opinions (& vs ARB Air Locker)?

    A local Australian company, Harrop Engineering, is working with Eaton to release/distribute Elockers to suit local Australian 4WD's such as Hiluxes and Landcruisers. I want to get some front and rear lockers soon for my HZJ78 Land Cruiser Troopcarrier campervan, before our winter, to hopefully...
