    1HDT vs 1HZ engine... parts availability here in the USA

    Hi Forum, If I understand it correctly the 1HZ is a more common engine globally than the 1HDT, so does that mean it's very easy to get parts for it here in the USA? Are 1HDT parts harder to come by?? and more expensive? thanks

    Shop recommendation: 1-HDT into 40 series w/ automatic transmission

    Noob question. Why is a short rear drive shaft bad? I mean, if it's still turning the rear wheels, it's working, no?? Keep in mind, this vehicle would be a street daily driver, with very very light infrequent offroading. thanks

    Shop recommendation: 1-HDT into 40 series w/ automatic transmission

    So I've got a BJ42, that I'd like to drop a 1-HDT into w/ automatic transmission. I didn't think an automatic transmission could fit, yet after seeing this shop in Japan do it... I'd like to find a competent shop here in the US that could do this swap for me. Here's the video in case you want...

    1988 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ61 Land Cruiser 12HT Turbo Diesel Wagon

    Hey Rayjon Thanks for the perspective. Yeah, I hear you... paint job and detailing aren't top priorities. Mace is going to inspect the rig for me soon, so hopefully he'll have some info on the actual condition. I am hoping to keep this next LC for a long time. I've got a BJ42 Turbo 3B, 5...

    1988 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ61 Land Cruiser 12HT Turbo Diesel Wagon

    All good answers and advice. Local IH8MUD moderator is going to take a look for me... Putting aside the high asking price, I believe the seller imported this rig in strictly for flipping. Very minimal inspection/testing has been performed. What would you look at or inspect to insure the engine...

    Automatic HJ61 12HT: MPG?

    Hey guys, I know MPG is always a tricky thing to get accurate... but do you think an HJ61 with factory automatic transmission will get 30mpg highway, 25mpg city? I'm thinking this is too optimistic, yes? The automatic transmission will eat up more power/fuel, yes? Thoughts?? thanks

    1983 BJ42 buildup/ resto

    Ah, good to know, I'll do a search on this. Couldn't locate in manual or in 3b build searches. Mine seems to be chugging out lots of exhaust, I'll have to see if this is normal By the way, your rig is looking great, we have the same kind 83 RHD Turbo BJ42

    1983 BJ42 buildup/ resto

    Question on a part: your rebuild picture https://forum.ih8mud.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=328358&stc=1&d=1243723568 There's a grey bent metal pipe that is behind the blue silicon tube. Can you tell me what that is? Looks like it's connected to the plate near the push rods Thanks

    Can someone tell me what this is?

    Ok, I'll patch the hole, haven't used the heating or vent system yet... Otherwise I could put the plutonium in there to hit the 1.21 gigawatts needed to get the BJ42 back to 1983's original shape
