I have been meaning to start a build thread since 2017 when we got her. There have been a few distractions with my boys projects that have slowed the start. The fam made an adventure out of it to fly to Nanaimo, BC to pick it up and drive it back to Texas. We drove in the winter through...

Hello! All of my time so far has been over in the 70-series section, with my JDM HZJ73. This week, we picked up our HDJ81V from Japan, and drove it back to New England. I intend on using this thread as a way to document both the build/maintenance, as well as sharing our adventures. Please...

Lesson Number Four: Perfect Conditions. If you have ever read an online advertisement from Spain you may have seen the phrase "perfectas condiciones". This is like driving the US highways and seeing signs claiming WORLD FAMOUS pancakes or chili or doughnuts... It is an over used catch phrase...

My old 3B blew up and I got a new one, although it has higher Kms. My old 3B had the injectors rebuilt 60k miles ago so i figured I'd go ahead and swap them but they don't look nearly as good as the ones I pulled out of my new engine. I don't know much about injectors/how to tell when one is...

Right, 91 HDJ-80 with dual batteries, you know the 24 V start, then revert to 12 V when running. I'd like to fit an auxiallary power source to run a compressor and the like with the engine running or not. Can this be done, and can the auxiallary power source (assuming its another battery), be...

Hello fellow 90 series owners! I took delivery of my KZJ95 a little less than 2 months ago. I have been slowly taking care of baselining. Spending most of my time changing ball joints, suspension, and taking care of surface rust. However, the biggest issue that still needs to be addressed is...

Hey there so I have been working on my cruiser for years and got this valve body a while ago but never installed it. I had bought it before I found out my transmission needed to be completely rebuilt so I did that with the wholesale automatic billet torque converters. Even still I didn’t want...

What you are looking at is a 1996 Toyota Hilux Surf, the SUV version of the Hilux pickup which is known around the globe for its reliability.

I need to replace the cylinder head on my 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ45. Please message me if anyone is selling one or knows where to find one. The background story is that I bought the truck in October 2020 from a consignment post from Elite Land Cruisers. When the truck arrived I thought the...

Hey guys, It seems crazy to me but my water pump pulley grenaded its self! Can’t seem to find one anywhere! Anybody have? I’m located in Ontario Canada 2hrs from Toronto but also have someone flying here from Seattle Washington in the next two days that could pick one up in that area! If none...

I have a 1994 Hilux LN106 3L with 160,000 km. When I changed the oil two months ago, after ~6,000 km and one month on new oil and filter, I borrowed a funnel from a friend to pour used oil from one container to another, and when he put the funnel into a bag he always uses after oil changes, the...

Hi, I have a 1983 Toyota pickup with the 2.2 liter L engine. I am curious about opening pressures for the injectors. I have sent the injectors off to be tested and rebuilt if necessary. The shops is saying that the tested pressures seem high. The Toyota manual for the L says the pressures should...

I’ve been trying to get a HDJ81 5 speed for years, but finally solicited the help of an importer over a year ago after little success in tracking one down. Yet, after a year, I’ve had as much success with an importer as I had myself. In fairness, I *hear* things are weird with imports and...
