Does anyone have any solution to upgrading the alternator with out a custom bracket.

Hey guys! I bought my 1984 HJ60 a few months back for a bit of a bargain. She was pretty much stock except for a bullbar and a saggy Old Man Emu lift. She even had the 2H fully rebuilt 4,000KM's ago. Maybe the bargain was too good to be true... She wouldn't start one morning I thought it was...

Curious as to any off-roading warehouse or outlets from Brisbane/Sydney/Melbourne Australia? Planning a trip to Australia and wouldn’t mind doing some shopping for my Hundy/LX470. Any recommendations is appreciated.

Got to the chance to do some 4WD and touring un in Australia's Norther Territory with my 60 Series. Bloody awesome trip and they have released it now as a digital download at https://www.roothy.com.au/product/roothy-dvd-digital-download-darwin-unplugged/. The 60 performed really well and held...

I guess we all get excited to hear about new products making our overloading experiences interesting. I tow a relatively big camper trailer and was in the market for reliable towing mirror or some kind of wide-blind-spot attachments to my side-mirrors. In came the clear-view towing mirrors and i...

I was lucky enough to pick up a 10/74 FJ40 in June of 2017. It is my understanding the truck spent most of its life in country Victoria but the last ten years in Perth, Western Australia. After a months reading this forum, tinkering along I thought it was my turn to document my progress and...

Full disclaimer: New to the forum and will be new to the Land Cruiser life if I can pull this off. I apologize if this question has been asked before but I didn't find anything in my research so I'm hoping I can still get some information. It looks as if I might be moving to Guam next spring...

Anyone here tried buying anything off gumtree (Australia) before? There's an item there I'd really like. I've signed up and all, but not sure of the risks or pitfalls of buying something through it. Wondering if there is any experience here.

Saw this today, imagine it is pretty rare. A shame it is in Australia. J-FJ56F-Q Fire Truck imported from Japan pickles.com.au/trucks/item/-/details/C1979--Toyota--Landcruiser-J-FJ56F-Q--4-x-4--Fire-Truck--3-Seats/402284087 I see SOR have one similar but does anyone know of any other 40/50...

I am interested in planning a vacation to Australia. When is the best time of year to visit? Looking to go in the next year and want to hit the rain forest, desert, barrier reef, and beaches. Hopefully rent some cruisers and see some wild life. Maybe check out some goods for my 80 and 120...

Hey guys, long timer lurker, first time poster. Picked up my 83 FJ40 LX 3 weeks ago from a guy in Sydney and drove it the 1,000km home to Queensland. I really wanted to do a restoration myself, but after a lot of soul-searching and comparing my ambition to my actual skills, it made more sense...

Many, many moons ago (it must be at least 12 years, because I got it before I was married, "when it was still my money" as SWMBO said at the time) I traveled to Ballina, NSW, Australia in response to this ad: Yes, even in 2004 the Internet was a place to skive off and search for a dream. It...

Anybody have any experience with these valve body upgrades from wholesale automatics from Australia any info would be appreciated thanks

Anyone in Australia that would be willing to help a buddy of mine (who is not on mud) find a 75 in Australia? Ideally he can find a nice one, have someone in Australia do all of the baselining, make sure everything is good to go (brakes, suspensions, etc.) and then we can import it to the...

My wife and I will be spending the first 3 weeks of April 2017 in Australia. We’ll be in Sydney the first week, and then 4 days at Ayers Rock. We have no plans for the remaining 10 days – and we didn’t realize we’d be there during Easter. We’d like to go to the southern GBR, perhaps flying in...

Hey guys Im looking to buy a diesel 40 series. Hoping to find one over the next few weeks/months. Im not looking for a restoration project but a few things here and there are fine. Im also not looking for a fully restored car. Just due to $$$. Some things i want: SWB with a hardtop (these...

I'm buying an HJ47 Troopie and have the possibility of having some parts shipped in a container from Australia thru austousa. I know parts are not nearly as available in the US as for an FJ40 and was wondering from the owners of HJ47s what parts I should think about trying to get and have...
