looks great. nice work

"helped" me get a new exhaust system in from Aussie

Lookup some "Expats returned to UK" group FB etc. (I see equivalent in Ireland) and should be able to help from those that have gone before

great pictures. Must checkout channel Loved Morocco few years back ; must go back again

looks good. I may be heading to the Balkans next month via a big long loop to include Spain/Portugal

Ollie I'm near Galway but down in Cork visiting family. I've a 97 USA 80 model (petrol + LPG) and 100 series are nice

how long were you chasing the issue before you made the decision to get it done?

Can be a slow process tracking it down. I've had both rear windows fail with molding "seal" going bad

Wow - quite a feat to get in from Venezuela. Whats the spec on it Used to live in CO and spent some time hunting/camping up Montana way. Nice memories

good you were able to do temp fix

and Happy New Year to ye guys from the West of Ireland Hoping to get a chop to my 80 and put a cabin on the back ... (Dear Santa)

Exploring a chop on my 97 1fzfe RHD USA truck. Will either go custom (like Michael Clark) - Maltec like (Dirt Sunrise) or do a pickup bed that can have sides added (so like a 'pickup') so "cabin" can be taken on/off The large range of demountable campers (particularly in France/Germany) are...

thanks Shayne. Hopping to do some camping in Wales with friends but great to have another spot. Cheers

Heading to Brittany for a few weeks camping and noisying around (may look at some older farmhouse properties) at start of Oct Coming across Rosslare to Fishguard, visit some friends and then down to London and across the channel (ferry - as have LPG) Any touristy places to see, some (remote)...

little bit of cleanup required when you got back

Just managed a 3 hr return trip from camping (Co. Kerry) with soft pedal (had bled all 5 points overnight and kept thinking it may be a bad master brake cylinder) and at end of trip noticed a leak near PS/FR with line towards caliper. Not sure why as its an extended brake hose recently (last...

I'm looking at getting in (via some expats that are returning back to the old sod and piggyback off their container for household goods) either a Manta or a Pacemaker system, including manifold/headers all the way back. Only issue appears down under they don't have dual cats and will need to get...

I spent several weeks doing under chassis mechanic aerobics, derusting, painting and rust proofing on my 97 80 series during Covid period last summer. Glad to see I only had about 5% rust and mostly all just surface related and some elbow grease resolved that. Happy it should all be good for...

Good to see the updates ... thought you got lost down a ravine : (

Nice work on the heat shields

Mexico is great and fantastic food (even if I'm a meat-n-potatoes guy). Found most of C.America too hot and sticky and ending up on the coast which is great. S America is just wonderful with lots of open spaces and scenery.

not hearing a 'knock' but strange the slow-down?

Spotted an Aussie like 80 driving towards Galway, West of Ireland the other day. In my suburban Corolla and not my 80 so not able to chase! Had twin rows of seats and custom cab at back. Similar to twin cab 80 series Any ideas of who?

Clive, I like the side brush guards.

I've the plastic tabs (like Chris indicated) ready to be replaced on mine. I cleared up my drains etc. and also added extra sealant to the plastic but to no avail. Still leaked. For last year I've just tapped up my sunroof so water can't get in. Waiting for dry day in the mood to take down the...

Richard, hows is your LPG running and the Flashlube? I'm considering installing a Flashtube as no 'additive' for last 4 years and running LPG more now. Any way to gauge when needed? Thanks

looks good. What is the alu. metal casing from?

I use ChapelGate, 80breakers, PartSouq, Amayama and some US dealers for parts. Best if you can get outa Aussie (especially if you can get w/o VAT, import taxes)

I've a US 97 petrol, if that helps at any time

couldn't get mine seperated with needle and didn't want to force. Will look to try again at some stage but will pickup a donated Camry or Corolla piece (on the basis one of those trip meters may work

I've an idler pulley to replace, likely this week and will see (once get my dash all back together - due to aerial coax that ain't pulling thru with radio aetenna needing replacing) if thats my issue or if need to did into A/C compressor

352K on mine - 1997

interested in what you get done

looks great, Mike. Awaiting the inside adventure. Whats the top dimensions (ground to top of roof when closed; front of truck bumper to rear and side to side)

nasty

very tidy lookn

fixed up ok and will keep an eye on 'em,

Disagreement on locktite is that Toyota doesn't mention it, but then doesn't mention this part anyways as replacement so no torque specs. Diehards no locktite, others use it just in case On the grease, maybe leakage on oil. Will need to check later

Did 4 hour easy drive on Sat and felt very slight tremor on right turns. No other issues. Thought maybe front bearing on front right was loose again and maybe need to tighten up (had to tighten 5k ir 2 months ago and don't do a lot of driving, no offroad atm) Was due an oil change and some other...
