Hi - 1st post in the mini section...converted from rusty diesel cruisers!! I'm putting my 87 reg cab back together after a little roll-over and was wondering what side does the longer wiper arm attach to? Orig wiper arms and seems they are 2 different lengths, which side for what length...
I'm selling my HJ61. It has served me and my family well over the 10 years we have owned it. I imported it direct from Japan and have regularly maintained it. It turns 25 yrs old as of May 2013, chassis # hj61-0008331. Has rebuilt rad and alternator (2012). It does need some work but I have...
Happy New Year All!
I have a rusty HJ60 with 2H diesel 409,000 kms, the A440 auto trans, NO A/C, Dec 1986 build date, 24 volt system. 25 years old and good for US import. I bought it as a parts rig a few years ago. The frame is quite good suprisingly, but body typical of Northern Canada...
I hope this is not too dumb of a question but after a lot troubleshooting and fiddling around I'm wondering if I can check the continuity of the rotor with the alternator still on the truck (1988 HJ61 24V)? Across the slip rings I measured no resistance. Measuring through the brush holder...
Hi - apart from picking up the phone and calling somehwere in Aus (which I will do if needed - suggestion on ARB dealer there?), I am really hoping someone in North America has ordered a ARB OME Dakar suspension kit for a 1992 HZJ73 with the 1HZ and has part #'s to share.
Are late 1980's...
Hi - I guess this is a bit of a "group vote" as I really cant make up my mind...truck is a 1992 HZJ73 with a stock fender flares, riveted on in at least 8 places EACH to the body panels. I really dont like the idea of them as rust magnets but then again I dont like the idea of drilling out the...

I know this is parts section, but I have my HZJ73 listed over in the "vehicles" forum and figured I should post quickly here too as techincally I guess it could be a great pile of parts for somone or a bunch of people although I personally dont want to cut it up for parts. Has lockers with the...
Hi All, I was hoping someone could post up this paint code on the firewall tag of a champagne/beige/gold metallic colour late 80's FJ62 88/89? It would be really appreciated!! I have a factory 2 tone coloour scheme on our HJ61 from Japan and it has 27G paint code - which does not seem to match...
Hi Folks - anybody have experience ordering some paint for the 2-tone scheme brown / champagne colour for HJ61? I'm getting some minor bodywork done and the shop was wondering about trying to match up the metallic "champagne" beige/gold colour. Brownbears early 90's FJ80 has very close paint...

Hi all,
Pondering a new project and looking to get some info on approx figures for aftermarket filter sizing, flow capacity, in-line electric fuel heaters etc -> looking at a WVO system install for spring/summer use. I'll start it now cause it will take me ages to finish!! :D
I'd...

Trying to "adjust" one front shackel mount on our hzj73 - the one attached to the frame. I have a pipe on it approx 4ft. Thought I was getting somewhere but it was the pipe bending. I was thinking of going and getting a longer one tomorrow but maybe this isnt the way to do this. SHould I...
Hi, I think this truck would be a gen 2?
I am going in for a Motor Vehicle safety Inspection in a few days and was reading the inspection requirements. Question:
Can someone please have a look at the rear side glass (not the middle sliders but back in cargo area) and tell me what rating...
While swapping shackles on our 73 recently - I notice a little sticker on a rear spring - scrape off the black paint slowly it says "Be.." I'm thinking woo hoo - BELTONS...so I happily keep scapring it says "Better Springs Manufacturing" Australia. I cant make out much more than that except a...
After spending the whole day on my knees and back at my folks place replacing the scary shackles and busings that came with my truck (HZJ73) - I was bummed out to see that I have about 2" lean measured from the bottom of the mirrors. RHD (drivers) side is the lower. Dam! What causes this...
Hi,
Might be a dumb question but do you grease the inside surface of the steady bearing before you put it on the mating driveshaft surface or should it be a dry fit?? I greased it but I think I maybe shouldnt have :confused:
Really appreciate knowing what is "correct" as I got some kind...
