    75 rear leaf removal

    Those rear springs are designed for a lot of weight. The bed is currently empty; load up 1,000 lbs. and the springs should flatten out a bit. It will be some work (and dirty!) but I would start with removing 2 leafs from each rear spring pack. You will be reducing the load capacity of the...

    Suspension Re-fresh/OME alternatives

    Hi all, Breadbaker, check out this thread for ideas: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/quick-question-on-add-a-leafs-what-to-do-expect.312487/#post-4776389 The Rancho add a leaf swap is well proven under FJ40s; no reason it should not work under a BJ74. Yes, replacing all of your springs and...

    Quick poll - to diesel or to gas my BJ74

    Hi all, Go with the 1FZ-E and H151 Tor! This engine, with a manual trans, and without the weight of the 80 Series, will really be nice. Regards, Alan

    Gravel road and part time 4wd

    Hi all, It will not hurt your part-time 4wd system to drive in 4 High on loose gravel roads. 4 High probably gives better control than 2 High on such a road surface at high speeds, though whether one really notices is a personal call. Your fuel consumption will be (slightly) affected...

    cross referencing leaf springs ?

    Hi all, IIRC, the HD 70 Series SWB uses the same dimension rear leaf springs as does the 60/62 Series wagons. Front leaf springs between the two vehicles have different part numbers. Regards, Alan

    Any Advice for leaf springs

    Hi all, Temuulen, cool HZJ70! :) I am confused about your question. You ask about installing leaf springs, is this on your 70 Series TLC, or on a trailer? Both are about the same: remove the old parts, and install the new parts. The Toyota service manual will say the torque...

    FJ70 thinking of export to USA. How much can I get for it?

    Hi all, albertom, cool rig! :) Yes, diesel 70 Series are quite sought after here in North America, but repair parts can be hard to get and expensive in comparison to the Toyota gas (petrol) engines used in Land Cruiser wagons (FR60, FJ62, FJ80, FZJ80) sold in the USA in the 1980s and 90s...

    knuckle problem or no?

    Hi all, IIRC either of these two kits from MarlinCrawler should work for your LJ70. BTW, the LJ/RJ Series use HiLux axle assemblies. https://www.marlincrawler.com/axle/front-axle-parts/front-service-parts/service-front-hilux/front-axle-service-kit If you are up to a challenge, I would...

    Spring over conversion

    Hi all, Cory, there is no such thing as a "spring over" kit. Doing this sort of suspension change requires some custom work. Where are you located? There may be a Land Cruiser shop in your area that can perform this kind of suspension conversion. For the home mechanic, lots of the info on...

    Fish plating

    Hi all, NSALT, I would suggest re-posting this question, a little more clearly written, in the "Hard Core" section. Think you would get a better response rate over there. Regards, Alan
