Thanks Rob, I've it booked in for the work. I was hoping to make time to try it myself but am way to busy with other projects.

Hi all, I had to replace the front left ball joint last year because the tester failed on a worn boot. It failed again this year but the new boot is fully burst open and the drop lin has worn. I think they tightened it on to tight because the castle nut was gone way past the pin. Do ye think...

NS4x4 are the best! I'm going to pop into halfords tonight for the bulb and might order the lens too. The CVRT hate my jeep right now. She is in the exact same shape she was last year but the list of major fails is getting bigger and bigger.

Can you give me the blub specification for that? I'm in the process of buying a new bulb for my red light on the same one. The lens is cracked as well but it's €111 for a new one, it's crazy!

I've just finished the work and what an emotional roller coaster it was. So the back door started cracking years ago and the pervious owner made a mess of the body work trying to fix that and actually welded it into a bad position. To fix it I took the door off, cut his welds out, bolted on a...

Thanks for that awesome replay Rob! I was already suspecting it was mild steel but still wanted to ask. That bar for strengthening the back door is brilliant. Maybe I'll make my own as it seems to be just a simple bar. The area to fix already looks terrible so not much to loose by attempting a...

Hi all, The back door on my J120 has separated at the bottom corner by the hinges. It's causing my door to hang wrong so it won't close easily. There are signs of previous attempts to fix the issue and its all gunged up with apoxy. My question for you, landcruiser enthusiasts, is would the body...

Hi, Can you please send a copy of the manual to me? [email protected] Thanks a million,

Hi Karl, Thanks for the the reply, I would be skeptical of most things so I'm going to proceed with cation. I was thinking of trying a bit of Hammerite Underbody Seal. Hammerite Underbody Seal I'll have a look at the other threads first though, can you point one out for me? I tried a search...

I still don't think that't it as my sound seems to be coming from behind but sound do be bouncing around so I'll have a good look at the box as mentioned above and see if it could be the culprit.

Hi all, One of my friends got his j120 undercarriage sealed by a guy for €600. He is quite happy with it but I'm hoping to find a do it yourself solution for a lot cheaper. Has anyone ever tried it before and have any tips like what sealer to use and where to apply it?

That is interesting, I'd like to know more about this air box and how to get to it. The dog is having a hard time with it because it can be quite loud. I dropped a message in the maintenance chat but the guy with the manual hasn't got back to me.

Hi Shayne, I think op was talking about a buzzing from the drive train at certain revs when accelerating. Have you ever heard of that happening in a J120.

Hey 2toyotas, I have the same issue with mine, maybe they just are like that. Then again it is a very old machine I bet there is a drive chain issue. I have yet to get it inspected.
