My 1997 HDJ81 has finally arrived from Japan!

It's full-time 4WD, auto-trans, and has the turbo-diesel 24-valve 4.2liter beast under the hood.
Steering wheel conversion is going to be done in the coming weeks. Suspension upgrades will come later.

By the way, how does the stock suspension on this car compare to the HDJ80?

looks great .. you woul be happy.

81 and 80 series suspension are the same .. axles, suspension and so.

What does the sticker on the rear (the one with 350KG) refer to on HJD80/81?
Is it gross loading capacity?

Pretty sure its tongue weight limit.

Nickw - thanks for the response. But does "tongue weight limit" means? It's a measure of what?

Weight on the very end of the trailer, the part that hooks onto the ball or pintle, on a "y" axis. In other words the amount of pressure the trailer will put on the hitch connecting the trailer to your truck.
