    a 1997 Omani diesel 80

    If you anyway willing and going to spend money on the turbo, why dont you do some upgrade to it? There are nice aftermarket options for it and you can stay "conservative", not chasing big hps, just better low end responses. That is what I personally dont like about my FT, low end rpms are...

    Builds Tenerife to Texas: a 1997 HDJ80 Tale

    There is a reinforcement that you will need to have this properly installed, I think it can be installed via the glovebox. I am debating myself also about the necessity of this Handle... but as I have two of these, if you need a bracket let me know :)

    I am thinking about doing the upgrade for Holley lights, how do you like them so far? I have them same quad headlight setup, its okay, but could be much better. Not blinding incoming traffic is super important to me. Thanks!

    Now that I spend more time at home, more small projects are getting done finally! First, winch cover was replaced, along the bumper corners. Next step will be the side trim pieces, but I am still waiting on the delivery of the last missing one. Also started with the subtank project :) The...

    Recently seen some people doing cleaning/ tightening on their seat belts, mine were also due for a maintenance so here we go. Removing them is quite easy, 2x 14mm and 1x 10mm bolt and the trim pieces. I found this video very helpful for the belt mechanism itself, 80 series belts are slightly...

    HDJ80 maintenance and modification thread - another one...

    When you choose the front door speakers, keep in mind that those have to be very shallow so the window mechanism fits behind it. There are threads on it on mud which ones can fit. Also, the new seal for the door comes without the black sticky matterial, so best if you source that also as the...

    Added some storage space today to be able to get the sunshade set out of they way. They are quite bulky actually, it does not hang down to much.

    I love the quad headlights but recently I was thinking a lot of going back to the original ones. As part of it, I sourced a brand new complete left side assembly. Hard decisions to make :D

    No posts recently, but a lot was happening. Suddenly two more 80s appeared in my yard....how could that happen? :rolleyes: The first one is from the South of France. A lovely 1993 VX spec Hdj-80. All the nice stuff you could get back in the day for an 80 in Europe. This will replace my dads...

    As an European origin 80, I am pretty sure it will be the Lexus style center cut one

    Wanted to get this done for such a long time, the leftover glue and yellowish buttons were always hurting in my eyes... will also replace the center control panel frame with a new one along this job, maybe install my OEM radio too. Before: There was a lot of disintegrating foam behind the...

    Not a lot happening recently, drowned in work... but my daily banana job gave me some happiness : NOS air filter installed. Also, now I am the happy owner of two partial FT engines to make one good one. Will be a fun project for 2023/4.

    Seat gear work again on the Hdj-80... I just realized I miss the entire shaft two connect the two motors. I have lead on a nice set of brown non electric fabric seat set from a 97. I will get some cover on them, loose a lot of weight and all the pain in b@tt with these plastic gears. Also, no...

    New rubber on the hzj-80. These are toyo MTs, 255/85 R16. I really like this size and look so far! However, the Hzj-80 might will be for sale soon. There is a good chance to buy a Hdj-75 (Yes, a 75 series pickup with an 1hd-ft in it), factory locked. Would fit our needs better. I also missed a...

    Great to see this on the road! Also this white colour and steel rims, looks so good! Simple but great, fitting the work horse profile of these old cruisers.

    Little Hzj-80 time! Last year a I bought a gearbox and transfer to get it rebuild to overcome the worn synchros on the truck. It went to a specialist to get both gearbox and transfer rebuilt. Turned out it was not really neccessary, but now its good to go for sure ! And now the rebuild...

    No, its a picture from the internet. This is mine: I think these are the standard type side trim pieces on that 80 too. The difference that its from factory without flares. I think this was not a common thing, but in the venezuelan production was quite prevealent. The important difference is...
