Thanks. My one is an Australian VDJ79, and the new speedo is intended for an HDJ of some description as far as I could tell.That is very nice!!! Is that speedo for another model?

Very nice cluster that. I am presuming that you have the 1hz? The red on the rev counter starts directly after 4000 rpms on the 1hd-fte motor. It's interesting the little differences mr t made. The 1fz was different again.Changed the speedo to an mph version, it was in km/h originally and I changed the dial face but in doing so damaged something as the needle was behaving quite erratic between 30 and 70mph. So I went for a new Mr T unit which is working well now.
Before:

With just the dial face changed:

No its the 4.5L V8, 1VD-FTV in my one.Very nice cluster that. I am presuming that you have the 1hz? The red on the rev counter starts directly after 4000 rpms on the 1hd-fte motor. It's interesting the little differences mr t made. The 1fz was different again.
They are.....?Solid brick of gold right there.
They are.....?
Thankfully the truck itself has the ultimate anti-theft device (aka a manual transmission).If you leave it on there in the parking lot it will be a Gone Pro.
Don’t they sell GoPro mounts at Wal-Mart?While not directly 70 Series related, Rob did design a do-dad to securely hold my Go Pro.
I can now share my trips to Wal-Mart with everyone. View attachment 2210905View attachment 2210906
Not like this one. It’s fabricated from scrap 1HDT parts. The Wal-Mart ones are not.Don’t they sell GoPro mounts at Wal-Mart?
"Upgraded" my e-hubs...
Heh, I just did that too. Wish I'd done it years ago now.

What are E hubs? I've got the manual Aisin one's and I've seen the auto type on other 70 series but not heard of E hubs before.
Thanks for the explanation, like you say a neat idea but maybe not so neat in the real world. Probably expensive too compared to the manual hubs.I think they were just used in the select JDM 1990+ 70 series. Basically Toyota ran wires in the spindle to a special little slip ring. The hubs had brushes and more wires to a little motor. Pushing a button in the cab turned on the motor to engage/disengage the hubs. Neat idea, but too delicate to survive long in a landcruiser world. I serviced mine carefully eight years ago, and they did faithfully perform fine since then. But there is always that question when you push the button..."will my hubs work this time?"
Here's how my hubs looked the first time (these are the e-hubs):
Did you put some type of sealant on the arms above and below your knuckle? Never seen that before. Neither are places that leak.
