.....looking for an AHC & electrical guru for insight......I have an 04 LX470 w 106K miles on it. I had the AHC fluid changed recently and everything seemed fine.
I recently had a Tekonsha P3 brake controller installed using a Tundra (nothing listed for 100 or LX470 andmy research on MUD, etc...
Hi Gang,
It was great to see many of you at Cruiser Days. Great work by those involved.
As many of you know, the Sea to Sky Highway is blocked for the long weekend due to the slide at Porteau Cove.
Milena and I want to make it to our property in Birken, just north of Pemberton.
Have...
Hi Gang,
I just purchased a set of IPF combo (driving/fog) lamps for my HJ60.
As you guys know, the HJ60 runs on a 24V system except for the head lights and the radio.
I plan to replace the 12V H3 bulbs with Hella 24V bulbs (100W for driving, 70W for fogs).
Powering the lamps will be...
Hi gang,
I have checked the MUD :confused:posts and several wiring diagrams but nothing clear.
So, I need some advice regarding fog lamp wiring on my 1986 HJ60.
The system is 24V except for the headlights which, as mentioned many times, are a unique "Canadian" 12V set up.
In wiring...
Hi Guys,
I just tried to start my BJ74 and had quite a surprise.
A little background:
1) Running great lately
2) Vancouver weather has been very wet and last night was clear and cold at plus 2 deg C
3) I just tanked up at a new Shell station. Used their lower grade diesel. Also, I...
:confused: Hi gang,
My 1988 BJ74 now has 166,000 km on it. Starts in a split second, even in sub zero C Vancouver winter.
At about 120,000, I had the injectors serviced (rebuilt).
It used to spew the black in the hills until a few months ago when James B and I shimmed the waste gate on...
Hi Guys,
I hope a few of our Aussie friends see this and have some knowledge.
As you know, the front porch on the stock BJ74 stainless bumper w factory PTO sticks out one hell of a long way. You could set up a chair or two and have a chat with friends.
Has anyone successfully fitted the...
Hi Gang,
This sign has since been removed. It was nailed to a tree at the fork where we turn off the main FSR on the way to Clear Creek, Harrison Lake, BC.
What character. The wording is great. Its a warning for us all as we venture into the back country.
And note the bullet holes. I...

Hi Gang,
I have searched Mud on this topic to no avail.
Is there a PCV valve on a 13BT? I have checked the PCV hose and cannot easily see.
The reason I ask is that I have "oil seeping" at the the #1 & #2 air cleaner hoses (the wide bore rubber hoses at the turbo intake and exit) AND at...
Hi Guys,
One of my marker lights has burned out. Its the lower one in the BJ74 front light pod.
The bulb says 9H on the side and has stamped 24V5W R5W E4 2AT Japan 8.
The Toyota dealer had a tough time matching. Anyone of you guys - Rob M, Allstone, Steve T - know the NAPA or Lordco...
Hi Gang,
Anyone know how tough it is for a diesel (13BT) to pass Air Care? I heard the test is for opacity only and that they test at idle.
Thanks,

Hey. How's that for alliteration? :)

Hi Gang,
I'd like to throw out an idea where we might equip ourselves in the future for safer off-roading and improved ability to serve the public.
Thanks mainly to Bill W., several of us who do not already have our Amateur Radio License are about to obtain. THis will vastly improve...
Hi Mates,
A week ago, when it was just pouring rain here in Vancouver, I was driving around with wipers on, fan on full blast, headlights on, fogs on, stereo, etc. I drove for a considerable distance, stopping a few times.
Finally, when I went to restart, I heard the dreaded slow engine...
Hi gang,
I just had a Tru Cool LPD self regulating cooler installed. Paid $200 installed, incl tax. Its rated to GVW of 14,500 lbs.
The problem was where to place. The a/c, etc left little room around the rad. So we put it up under the bumper. In a worst case scenario, it could be knocked...
Hi Guys,
A few weeks ago, I drove from Vancouver to Princeton in my BJ74. Normally, the factory temp gauge reads dead centre or a bit below, highway & city.
On a couple of long hills, where the grade is about 8% for several miles and outside temp about 90F, the temp gauge rose to almost...
Hi Gang,
Anyone know the best jack points for a Jackall on a BJ74 with the stock bumpers front & back?
On the front bumper, it looks like Toyota has put a groove in the stainless bumper to allow the toe to grab the frame or bumper mount before it starts to bend the stainless. Am I correct...
