conversion

Hi Cruiserheads, I think I joined IH8MUD years ago but, my account might have vanished. Anyways, I own a 1988 HJ60 Automatic which is ultra-rare and now I am planning to convert either an FJ40 or FJ45 to the automatic gearbox A440F I was able to acquire recently. Anyone who has done such a...

Thanks in advance for bearing with me. Here is the short version of a long story: I bought an FJ45 off of BaT in 2017 link here . Needed some stuff done, got a case of while-your-in-there and 50k later, it's a great truck, but doesn't fit my family's need (married 4 kids) and I would like to...

Has anyone used a kit like this to successfully make a factory speedo work off of a gps unit? https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/41800/10002/-1?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIg7ey08OUgAMVKwCtBh1TqgJuEAQYAiABEgLUn_D_BwE Also does anyone know how many revolutions per mile the factory speedometer uses? These are...

Righto, I’ve had a look around and I can’t find and definitive answers, hoping someone here can help! I have a HJ47 Ute, but I want to convert it to a Troopcarrier via a cab swap, as I already have a 5spd gearbox and turbo 2H on my ute chassis. How different are the HJ47 Troopy & HJ47 Ute...

Hello All! Cannot decide if graduating college (10 years ago) or owning a vehicle that allows me to be on this forum is a greater accomplishment but either way I am thrilled to be here. I recently bought a '04 LX 470 with 193k miles and I am one proud Dad. I love it. I am in North Louisiana and...

2 2017 Land Cruisers - black on black 1 2004 Land Cruiser - matte black & tan exterior I’ll post a bunch of pics tomorrow. Biggest question I have right now is - and yes, I searched the forum extensively lol - is understanding how to do a 2nd row bench seat to bucket seat conversion in one...

Hey, all. New to the forum. I've been searching for an FJ43 LC for a while, but happened across a really minty FJ75 JDM fire truck. I found a few threads of similar attempts, but most didn't have final pictures or consensus thoughts. Crusher's thread was a bit disheartening. I was wondering if...

G’day guys When I bought my 1994 1fz-fe 80 series it had been LPG converted. What I mean by that is the original auxiliary petrol tank had been ripped off and an LPG tank was fitted with all the parts that make the car run on both petrol and LPG. I know this was a common thing to do back in...

For about the last year I have been working on converting my 1996 Land Cruiser to battery electric power. I'm getting close to it driving under its own power for the first time so I thought I'd start a thread here. It'll take a couple posts to bring it up to speed. The basics of the plan and...

This question relates to the feasibility and effort to convert a right hand land cruiser 80 body to fit a left hand car. To avoid confusion, lets say you have a left hand land cruiser 80 and need to change the main body only. What would it take to adopt a right hand body? I guess the front...

Hey guys, I have a 1981 HJ47 Troop Carrier and have been looking for some time to find a way to put jump seats in the rear of the car. My vehicle is only registered currently as a 3-seater however, the seatbelt system for the rear jump seats was installed by the previous owner. In my search for...

Hey guys! New GX owner here. Just ordered a Dobinsons 3” kit with Freedom Offroad UCAs for my GX and realized I forgot to add an airbag delete kit to the package. Any suggestions for cost/value? Anything that won’t work with my kit that I should know about? Thanks!

So basically I bought an 1995 land cruiser RHD from auction with fire damage in dash. Thought it was going to be a quick wiring harness patch and plastics but unfortunately there was a lot more heat than what it looked like. Cowl harness is toast and everything to the left of the radio is pretty...

Hey guys I’m the process of engine swapping my fj73 to a 1hz-t and I know I have to shorten and length the shafts in the gear box but not sure the exact amount I’ve read on another page that it was 100mm both ways any help would be appreciated and any other bits and pieces of info needed would...

I’ve got a rebuilt 302 Cleveland and I want to put it into my 1985 fj73 landcruiser. It already had a 3f engine with a standard 5 speed. Does anyone know of a kit or has anyone done this before?

G’day, I’ve got a 1967 Fj with a Holden 253 in it and I would like to swap out the 253 for a 12ht. I was just wondering what could be involved thanks!

Hi all. I thought that before I bite the bullet I reach out to see if anyone can confirm that this isn’t a lapse in my [multiple] mechanics expertise. I had my suspension conversion. Got some decent springs put in my 2004 LX470. Side note: was pressured into the conversion because I needed new...
