The door decal says :
Read the owners manual.
Comply with the owners manual.
Don't park your Cruiser in high grass or near other combustible materials.
Bottom right .... Company logo and name.

Recommended oil type and oil changing schedule for the turbo.
Recommended oil type and oil changing schedule for the engine.
A reminder to allow the turbo to cool down after running at highway speeds.

Cool.

"remember to let turbo cool down"
so .. for how long?
why didn't Yota put a pyro in as a stock gauge?

It would have been nice.

Has any light vehicle manufacturer done that? I can't think of any.

There may actually be a recommended time on the decal but my interpreter charged by the minutes so I was rushing him.
I will go by next week and let him look at it again.

It would be interesting to know the thinking behind the "combustible material" warning. Even my Japanese friend admitted that was strange.

 

[crushers]

i can't think of any but then Yota is supposed be a cut above the rest ...

There was a time when manufactures warned drivers about the heat associated with a catalytic converter and the fact that they could cause a fire in high grass. Perhaps this is Toyota's idea of a generic warning regardless of engine type. Just a guess.

Lucked out on the metal water line. After removing 1.270cm's from each end the remaining tubing was actually in good shape and after cleaning and adding a coat of POR15 to the exterior and interior, we are good to go.

*Note ..... I used centimeters instead of inches because it makes me feel smart.

I sent an email to a gentleman who has a Spanish 70 Series so I will have an answer about the European models in the next day or so.

I own a 1985 BJ73 sold new in Spain.

My truck saw hard service as a tractor and has been repainted so not much in the way of decals remaining.

 

[Gun Runner 5]

I emailed Chris to see if any of his European Cruisers had "English" decals.

My Canadian BJ has english stickers

My HJ75 which doesn't have a winch or turbo only has the one decal.

 

[Gun Runner 5]

Cleaned up the oil filter housing.......

My HJ75 which doesn't have a winch or turbo only has the one decal.

With the "conventional" "L" transfer shift patten like an FJ60 and no 4WD button.


The 74 has the same pattern as a 62 and the button.


By the way send me that screw in the lower LH corner of the photo so I can clean it up for you....

No 4 Wheel button ..... Old school 4 Wheel drive.

Cleaned up and also repainted the fuel filter housing.

That screw has character .....

Anyone know what this part is?
It wasn't hooked up when the engine was removed and it's not hooked up now.
It is however cleaned and highly polished now.
