    Front turn signals and corner lamps: amber or clear?

    HDJ80 is just the chassis code. That is a left hand drive diesel 80 series usually found in France. If you search hard enough, you can find those oem parts here on mud through members. Death Valley Paul might have all those parts you're looking for. I would start with him and go from there...

    Transmission slips after being parked nose-down on a steep hill

    @sbman Good theory as well. It was in fact on a very steep hill, and could have have simply too much pressure applied to the splines (which may have been worn down to begin with). Another free inspection to perform. Would be worth it to pull the caps and have someone stand outside the truck to...

    Transmission slips after being parked nose-down on a steep hill

    Your trans fluid might be low and parking that steep could have left a little open space for the pump to suck up into the filter. How long have you owned the truck? Have you ever topped off the trans fluid or checked the level? I would get it parked on a flat surface (gas station pump area)...

    Steering Problems After Lift and Frame Reinforcement

    Is it just as tough to steer with the front end on jack stands and the engine running? Did you get it aligned after all the parts were swapped out? Your toe could be out of spec causing the play characteristics. Lifting these trucks changes the caster even after an alignment. not sure if it was...

    Need Part Number: JDM Electric Winch Level

    If i remember correctly, the thread pitch is m8x1.25. You can track down a ''tall'' shift knob with that thread pitch (uncommon) or you can simply buy a steel adapter to go from m8x125 to (whatever pitch your tall shift knob is) I have this aisin winch and my truck was also missing the lever...

    Buying an 80 series - Estimate Help

    This is an ad/seller you should be looking for. Not saying you need to buy a bring a trailer rig (which i would recomment not to haha). But just try to find something that was owned by someone that enjoyed/loved the truck. Triple locked 96...

    Buying an 80 series - Estimate Help

    Thats a pass for 15k. I understand prices have gone up over the last few years, but for 15k you can get a clean one without all the issues listed above. for 15k you can find a well sorted truck with good paint. It sounds like this truck was not taken care of to be honest.

    The Squirrel - 1991 FJ80 "Poverty Pack" Cruiser

    Been there, done that numerous times. Currently in the same boat. Just bought my 7th Land Cruiser and told myself to just effing keep this one. Great find. Seems impossible to find such a no-frills 80 here in the USA. Enjoy it as-is. looks great.

    General Maintenance Tools

    I'm sure you'll get a ton of recommended tools. Off the top of my head for basic maintenance that you will use more than once: -Wheel bearing socket -fish scale (for dialing in bearing preload) -grease gun (for driveshafts, u-joints and birfs) -transfer pump (just a cheap harbor freight...

    I took the plunge.. ('94 HDJ80)

    What a beautiful truck. I love the options this one has. 5 speed diesel with part-time, quad headlights, etc... Wouldnt lose too much sleep about the lack of cdl. I wouldnt blame the seller either...It was the paper pushers over at the BAT headquarters that just copy and paste specs. Surprised...

    Welding The Rear Differential

    I'd keep a close eye on that clunking noise and go easy around turns. Locked/Welded diffs do not like turning on pavement. Sounds like there may be a ton of stress on related parts now when you're turning. Godspeed young grasshopper.

    RHD 1HDT - Underbody Armor? Diff, Transfercase, Trans

    Asfir is overseas but known for having good quality products. I had a couple things on my 100 series a few years back. Looks like their transmission and transfer case skid plates are only listed for gas engines which might be a typo...

    Yet another LSPV/ABS delete how to...

    Just following up on my last post in case anyone needs it down the road: I successfully deleted my lspv over the weekend on my non-abs truck. My truck is a jdm 80 series so your US model might be different. There is a tee on the left frame rail just behind the front left wheel/shock area...

    Yet another LSPV/ABS delete how to...

    Went through all the pages here and didnt see an exact answer: I have a 1990 hdj81 RHD (front and rear disc brakes) with no factory abs. Has anyone deleted the LSPV on this setup? I dont have the tee under the MC, just two lines coming off the MC. Connecting the two lines at the LSPV is...

    Buy or Pass 94 LC

    I didnt read all the posts so not sure if it was already noted, but this truck has been for sale for a couple of months now. I thought it was odd that it had Texas plates but it was in another state. I have a feeling the person bought it site unseen maybe from an auction/trade in and once he...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Found a spec of snow the other day in my local mountains. Actually surprised I came across any.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Just picked up this '90 hdj81. Flew up to Oregon and drove it back down to SoCal in one straight shot. This is my 3rd 80 but my first turbo diesel. The best part: I was averaging 22mpg and was cruising at 75mph easily.

    ROLL THE DICE ON AN OVERHEATED 80? "OIL PUMP FAILURE''

    Yep thats the one. I've been talking to him over the last few days. I told him well-running clean ones are going for 13-15. Said he's willing to lower the price for serious buyers, just an fyi for anyone else interested.
