Welcome to the club Emrah.

Hyrdo steering sounds interesting!

What were your reasons for doing that conversion and how did you do it?

If your going to change the engine I'd advise fitting a 3litre 1KZ-T instead of a 2.4TD. My LJ70 started off with a 2.4TD and putting the 3 litre in made it so much better to drive, especially with bigger tyres!

I also started off with a Suzuki!

Welcome Emrah

I too like the idea of hydraulic steering, but surely, you must have had some difficulties with the registration authorities to do that, I'd imagine, unless it's an all time off-roader.

Pics would be great .... (Actually they're mandatory on here )

Here are some pictures.it was one of my first messages so i was not allowed to send. Now i can

In Turkey there is not need for registration for hydraulic steering or disk brakes. But engine registration is almost impossible.

Hi good looking fj/BJ 40 from tonytoyota.

Nice looking truck.

I'm in Turkey again soon, but dont get over as far as you, Antalya mainly.

Cheers

Thank you for comments.
Antalya is not close you are right. Antalya has many LC fans and many LCs. The best overland modifier mechanic in Turkey is in Antalya.

I'll be in Turkey next week, but only Istanbul, nowhere near Mersin or Antalya

Great pics and the truck looks proud.

Any chance of close-up shots of the hydraulic steering please?
