Well, I have finally gotten around to creating a thread about my Prado. The purpose of this thread will be to outline the mods and fixes I perform.
I bought the Prado in Vancouver, BC in early December, and drove it ~600mi home to Whitefish, MT the next day. It ran and drove great with the...
These two rear jump seats came out of my 1988 HJ75 and I no longer need them due to building out a sleeping platform. These are pulled from the (U.S.) drivers side. Both are grey over grey and in good overall shape with some of the usual surface rust and a spot of black duct tape. They are...
I did some searching on Google and here, but couldn't find any definitive information. Does anybody have the specs for alignment of an '88 BJ70? Everything is bone stock, other than the tires, which are 175/65R15.
Has anyone installed a right-side 70 series snorkel on a 40 or 45? Found a good deal on one, but worried the windshield angle may be completely different.
Model: BJ75
Engine: 3B
Mileage: 156,220
VIN: JT1V0BJ7509003835

This is a great example of a Toyota Troopy. You will be hard pressed to find one in this good of shape at an affordable price. This vehicle was purchased in Italy, where it was taken care of by a true Toyota 4x4...
G'Day everyone, I posted some of this information in reply to Renago's thread about his 78 conversion. I'm new to IH8MUD, and it would have been more appropriate to start a new threads about my Troopy conversions. Here goes. Here in Australia we get the LC70 Troop Carrier, or Troopy, with the...
Going to be ordering my 45mm lift from dobinson springs next week and I'm looking for info and advice. I'm also gonna order up castor correction bushings...
Does anyone know shock lenghts for the front and rears for a 45mm lift?
I'm thinking of doing an adjustable ranchos up front, and an...
Just wanted to introduce myself.
My name is Egor, I live in Charlotte, NC
I like diesel Japanese trucks. I had everything from MMC Pajero, Isuzu Bighorn, and Toyota Highlux, however the LC is probably the best.
Unfortunately due to some financial issues, I got to sell it. It is in the best...
Hi guys,
I have found a 92 70 series with a 1PZ in it with 150k miles. I"m looking for a 1FZ but those are impossible to find where I live. All 70s here are diesels.
I plan on using my LC as a daily driver and some light offroading. I will add a bull bar, larger tires and a winch.
Do you have...
Greatings everyone!
I have never ventured into the 70 series section until now. I have been on mud for a long time and have always had 80's until now. I recently sold my 80 series and acquired a 1985 BJ70 in the process. Rig was originally from Canada, until it came down to Atlanta where it was...
Hey guys I recently picked up a 1988 BJ70 FRP from Japan. I'm running into a slight search problem and need some help. I'm trying to locate the rear roll bar to install rear seat belts. Any info would be greatly appreciated whether someone knows someone that has one they are trying to sell or...
I have been searching for one of these for quite a while now and have on occasion considered "creative importing" to get my hands on one. Fortunately I decided to not pursue the quasi-criminal route and waited on them to become legal for import. This is the result of my patience and the...
At the risk of having the PO panic, I am posting this ...
I was installing 1 1/4" spacers on the rear of my BJ74 today to match the spacers that are on the front of the truck. Install was going smoothly ... I was on the first spacer and had the tire back on with the lug nuts finger tight. I...
After searching I was unable to locate a thread where the color codes were posted all in one place. It seems there are a scattering of threads that address specific codes and colors, but nothing that could be deemed a resource for official codes and colors. As more of these vehicles age, the...
Hi All:
Figured I would start a thread that chronicles 7x specific parts that are available through normal Toyota procurement lines here in the USA market.
Obviously, we know that 7x series parts are available here as a fluke due to the suppport needed for the mining industry in North America...
