Registry U.S. 70's Registration. (4 Viewers)

[MIKADO Z]

I'm on Long Island! We've chatted before, ego.auto on IG, though I've been a bit MIA over there Hope I can finally meet you in person at the next NYC meet!

Ah totally cool - I am still working out a gremlin in my Prado and I think I have finally after having my Prado back out on the road after more than a year of her sitting.The timing control sensor on my fuel pump I think is the cause if all the issues. I have the part - and even though it's only 2 bolts - it might be easier to remove the IP to replace the sensor.Its in a spot that's impossible to reach without removing brackets and hardlines.I have been driving her a few weeks now - will need to see the Prado's side by side!

I realize this has been tried before but with the increasing number of 70 Series in the U.S., I thought I would give it another shot. If you live in the U.S. ( nothing personal Canada ) and own a 70 Series can you post the type and state in which you reside. Feel free to post a photo. Hopefully we can get an accurate count as to how many have been imported.
Thanks.......

1993 J78 (KZJ78W) imported from Japan.

Check out my video clip from last sunday -This Volvo now has a rear locker and pretty much goes wherever we go.I have had to pull him out of some mud on one of our trail days but he keeps building it out to go over anything in 2 wheel drive

 

[JuanJ]

Hello,

Impressive.

Incidentally, one of the first rear lockers I ever saw, ages ago, was on a Volvo truck. There was a caution plate next to the switch: use only on slippery roads, preferably over snow or ice.

How much lift does it have?

In NW MO - ‘94 FZJ75 that I purchased a couple months ago. Had a company in Texas spray a Kevlar coating on the exterior. It’s going to head out this fall for a diesel conversion.

What wheels and specs? Using spacers?

Rota grid 16x8 0 offset with 1.5" spacers... These. Are just what I had from my other truck, eventually I'm working on getting wheels with the proper offset
