Hi everyone
We are Ernst & Jiew from Switzerland/Thailand and traveling trough USA. We love it.
We are considering for better comfort a roof conversion. Who does something like this here in the West? What are the price here in USA? Is it maybe cheaper in Mexico?
Thanks a lot for your answers...
As stated, I have a 2003 HZJ78 with tired Dobinsons on a 2" (50mm) lift. I don't know what model or size the Dobinsons are. Looking for some suggestions for replacements options (ideal length, IMS vs remote reservoir, etc.). Maybe new versions of what I have are the best route, if I only knew...

Hi partners.
I am installing the lx450 shaft in the lc78 chassis. But the front side control bar has little problem. LC80 (805mm) and LC78 (860mm) rods are too short.
The actual measurement I need is approximately 930mm. Anyone know the length of the adjustable Panhard bar (max / min), not shown...
Hey, I'm a new user (first post, go easy on me), and new to the Land Cruiser world.
I recently purchased a 2002 HZJ78 Troopy camper (pictured below) from a Swiss couple who were original owners, had the camper built and took the thing around the world (Australia, Africa, and bottom of South...
Here's almost everything you need to convert a narrow into a wide. A few modifications to your inner fenders and radiator support, and you'll be off the races. These parts are new take-offs from a white 2018 HZJ79 and they're in great shape. The clip kit contains:
• Snorkel upper and lower...
I'm starting the build of my Troopy and since I'm in Belgium, one of the first things we need is a decent air heater in the back of the Troopy.
I have an Eberspächer D2 (similar to Webasto Airtop).
The D2 will be mounted in the left rear, near the backdoor, where the factory jack sits...
So, I'm searching worldwide for the right 1HZ Troopy (or possibly a cab and chassis that I can build a camper for) to import into Canada. It must be 15 years old to import into Canada, so currently that would mean a manufacture date of 01/04. I would prefer it already had a pop-up roof because...
Hi all,
Can anyone talk to importing an HZJ78 into Canada from Europe? I can't find a single one in Canada online (for sale or otherwise).
I'm currently on the hunt for the right one. I'm targeting Europe because I would rather have a LHD. I know it has to be 15 years old.
Anyone have...

Hi folks, need little help from anyone familiar with the 1HZ engine. We are 4 people from the UK, travelling across the USA in two 70 series cruisers - a HZJ78 and a HZJ73. We got to Blanca, Colorado and have both hit pretty bad engine issues, unbelievably at the same time. I will describe the...
Hi all,
Im taking my pop-top HZJ78 on a pan-americas trip at the moment, got a bit of an issue i was hoping your expertise could help me with!
When driving, for a while now, I get what feels like the clutch slipping, intermittently, especially towrds the end of longer drives.
I thought this...
