    Aftermarket A/C / Factory install for 1986 Land cruiser?

    It should not be too hard to find a full kit from a FJ 60 that is getting parted out. You need to determine if the truck ever had AC and it was removed. Very few were sold with no AC...

    Discussion on US parts availability

    Thought we should banter this about a bit.... In the US we have great access to new and aftermarket parts. Prices are generally OK. The VAST majority of mechanical and interior parts are for NA spec vehicles only. We get a bit of JDM stuff here but not much. If you have a petrol 40-200...

    Steering issue

    Hi This sounds like castor issue. The axle is rotated too far to the front causing the overall geometry to get wonky. Is it lifted? Could be worn knuckles letting the castor get out of whack. Camber could be off as well. Again; knuckles set this as do ft wheel bearings If driving and...

    Wagon Gear - 80 Series Tailgate Lids

    Could not resist jumping in..... I know these products and have used/installed them a bit. Honestly, worth every penny. Small scale international shipping out of the US is a giant PITA. I understand that issue only too well. I also know the demand for these products is very high in the US. I...

    A different approach to 80 series front axle rebuilds. Really?

    Really nice write up. I have never even considered the feeler gauge method! We do a lot of axle rebuilds here. On 80 series 90%+ of the times we do it the shims that came out will be fine with the new trunion bearings providing 7-9 lbs of preload. If the truck has big tires I will fiddle the...

    I am a dealer for Nitro :) We will be VAT registered eventually but until that time I will absorb the VAT into the price. HMRC is pretty cheap on duty % for used parts but new stuff seems to float between 2% and 10% depending on the item. Of course the 20% VAT is painful! And BTW...this paying...

    Thanks guys. We have LOTS of parts! We ship weekly from the UK to the US all Defender junk (I know, don't get me started. I can talk for hours about US Defender owners) and now my shipper can offer me a weekly return service at a great rate. This will all be sea freight so we are not talking...
