    Patches84's FJ45 Troopy

    A good thread and great Landcruiser photos (if not tainted by some criticism of Australian or Australians). I currently have a 1997 40th Anniversary 80 series Land cruiser with the 1hz diesel engine and 5 speed manual gearbox. I've modified it with a rear detroit locker, Safari turbo, dual...

    Lightforce 240's on an 80....are they too huge?

    Mine's a turbo-diesel, but I don't have any overheating problems at all.

    High praise for the Pioneer speaker replacement behind stock grille!

    I just checked to make sure!! No speakers at all in the front doors of my 1997 40th Anniversary. There are only front speakers in the dash, rear speakers in rear doors, and one speaker in the cargo area!

    Can I just confirm that you placed the front speakers in the doors. My 97 has the front speakers in the dash.

    HDJ81(Diesel) owners….what are you getting for mileage?

    When I first used my cruiser (12 months ago) I used: 93.36 litres 785.5 km's =8.41 km/l =11.89 l/100km =23.9 mpg (imperial gallons) That's city driving (ideal conditions, but normal driving). This was for the non-turbo 1Hz diesel and 5 speed manual. There's no way in the world I would get that...

    After being in Oz for a month I want a snorkel

    Although it took a bit of effort, I made sure that I fitted all screws, and sealed everything! LOL It's good to get that cleaner, cooler air into the engine and not have to worry about getting water into the engine (especially for a diesel). Cruisers definitely look better with a snorkel...

    What would you recommend for a good set of driving lights?

    All 40th Anniversary models have those alloy wheels here.

    What would you recommend for a good set of driving lights?

    These lightforce lights are the best driving lights that I have ver had, or used. I use them on the open highway when touring (never really needed them for around town driving...). They have decent mounts too, not those tinny ones that forever adjust themselves, especially when you go off-road.

    Yuca's 80

    Doesn't your wife get annoyed parkin' it in the kitchen like that?

    Anybody has an 80 with coolant temp measurements and big offroad lights? Experiment!

    Although mine is the 1HZ turbo diesel I haven't had any issues with overheating. My last trip was towing a loaded camper trailer, 4.5 adults, air-con on (warm and humid day) and included open road and low range 4WDriving and my temp guage pointed to the usual spot.

    Gas Mileage (Improved with Nitrogen filled tires??)

    We have a tyre sales company here in OZ, that likes to promote nitrogen in tyres. You tend to see a lot of women driving cars with red valve caps here, as well as guys that are easily talked into sales gimmicks. One motoring organisation here has made it public that putting nitrogen in your...

    dropping a diesel in an 80

    The biggest cause of failure in the outback is computer failure. Once they fail then that is where the car stays. Diesels also don't use spark plugs, coils, leads, etc. This might not be important where you live but here reliability can be paramount. The reliability and economy are the main...

    dropping a diesel in an 80

    The main reason that I like the diesel in my cruiser is that it is extremely reliable and no electronics to stuff up. I also can drive over 500 miles without having to find a fuel station. I never smell the diesel while I am driving, and the diesel sound (which I like) is only there while...

    High and Low beams at same time?

    H4 outer (low or high) these are 55/60w (or thereabouts) as standard, but I've fitted 90/100w H1 inners (high) Ive fitted 100w Lightforce driving lights (via separate switch in high beam circuit - legal requirement) 100w

    High and Low beams at same time?

    Aussie versions don't have the low beams on with the high beams. We have the twin square headlamps. The outer lamps are low OR high, and the inner lamps are high only. Do your 80 series cruisers use H4 bulbs. If so then you probably don't want high and low filaments on at the same time due...

    HDJ80 auxiliary fuel tank

    Simply remove your spare wheel and measure the space for yourself. I have moved my spare from under the car to the rear wheel carrier. There is now a huge space for a larger auxilliary tank (or a second spare tyre). The existing auxilliary tank is located behind the diff and above the spare...

    Wife questioned the 80

    My wife once told me that if I didn't sell the cruiser then she would leave me!!!! Jeez I miss her!

    1997 LC getting 11 L/100km???

    My 1997 80 series 1HZ diesel 5 speed was getting 24 mpg around town (ideal conditions, normal driving, and imperial gallons) and some open highway driving. This has dropped to 19 mpg since I have fitted the turbo. 976.3 km (606.64 miles) 114.77 litres (30.32 US gallons, or 25.25 imp gallons)...
