If your near Kamloops, Tony at Alltoy 4X4 is awesome.

Throw-out bearing is making noise so I figure it's clutch time. Also have a diesel leak most likely from the injection pump, a sometimes hard sometimes soft clutch pedal (after recent Chinese clutch booster installed) and a steering box which needs a rebuild (adjusted in fully).
Time not being a factor I would do most of it myself. I was hoping there may a good mechanic in the Kelowna region somewhere that has experience with the BJ series diesel JDM Landcruisers.

Still looking for a good JDM mechanic, Kamloops is 3 hours away otherwise I would go up that way. Replaced the clutch a year ago and now have a rattling noise upon acceleration which seems to be getting louder. Any help would be appreciated.
I have heard the mechanic for jcruisers/mustang conection in Armstrong is good.

other than that and what has already been mentioned EBI at the coast would be a safe bet.

I've dealt with their mechanic once before and I found him to be a backyard special who likes to use cheap Chinese replacement parts. I would never recommend him.
i understand its a drive but I say AllToy with tony. He has done numerous jobs on several of my cruisers over the last few years
wowzers I retract my previous statement.
I have found that although it is more hassle and time, it is 98% of the time better to do the job yourself - especially if you are keeping the vehicle long term.
The clutch and steering box any Mechanic shop should be able to handle - as for the pump there is a diesel injection place in Vernon that I used 13 years ago that was good. My pump has a leak coming from the primer pump - which is common have you checked where it is coming from ? That is an easy fix in your drive way.

I just tried Truckworks in Kelowna, had them replace an exhaust manifold gasket (with a broken bolt in the cylinder head), weld up a broken baffle in the muffler and adjust brakes. I supplied all the parts and was satisfied with the work done.
good to hear
