More info here - https://www.carryoncampout.co.uk/ I think it more targeted to VW Camper vans but might be wrong.

Hi I have taken out the original Toyota driver seat plus the 1.5 person co-driver’s seat in my 78. I have replaced them with two BMW M sport seats. Much more comfortable. Now there is a lot of space between the two seats and I would like to install a decent centre console. The 80 has a...

Yes you could fit it higher on the bumper so the bottom of bracket is flush with the bottom on the bumper. In the photo I got from the web you can see they have fitted it low and over the tow hook area. I was thinking of fitting it on my truck to the left side of my hook and higher Up.

I bought this GOBI-X folding step for the rear bumper of my truck but now dont need it. I have also pasted a photo from the web to show how it is usually attached. This is a top quality South African brand, laser-cut and CNC bend in 3mm stainless steel and made in S Africa. It has a substantial...

Welcome Mambo. Nice pics

Hi LBV Friend of mine has been using this place for about 5years and rated it highly. It’s near the airport. https://www.transkalahari-inn.com.

Not used any yet but in the plans. thanks for sharing the info.

i am in the manual camp - low tech no room for failure :) I have been on numerous long trips with others and those with multiple hoses/gadgets don’t seem to have much advantage. It’s such a small potential/theoretical time saving that having yet another gadget plus their high cost makes me...

Looking at this spec doc from Toyota I think pre 2007 also had different axle tracking.

Oh was it only an issue on the post 2007 when they introduced the v8 engine?

People talk a lot about the rear axle width issue the troopy. Andrew St P-W talks about it all the time. But he talks more than he travels! Conversion is quite a big job I think. Not sure it’s really necessary. The factory set up may not be (theoretically) ideal but in my opinion it’s...

welcome and will follow with interest as its on my to do list. cheers

Thanks v much to you all for the feedback. Really appreciate it.

Hi just sourcing some parts and wanted to get a quick read out of your experiences with these two suppliers. Their prices are pretty similar. But is one clearly better than the other on actually delivering the goods? thanks

Beautiful truck. Best of luck.

Have pmd you

Hi all anyone have one of these hanging around or knows somewhere clever to get one? It’s the third brake light that sits on top of the top tailgate door. Mine still works but have noticed that it is now very dim. Power supply seems fine so think it is the unit. many thanks

Great trip report. Agree with earlier comment that trip reports seems rarer than they used to be. Am also planning a Balkan trip so thanks for all the info.

You have some nice stuff there. i have already done the interior but sent you a message via website on rear door tables thanks

That seems an odd set up. unless aux tank automatically pumps into the main tank. Then it would look like you aux tank is going down ie straight to the engine but it is really going to main tank then the engine. So then main tank looks continuously full Until aux tank is empty. I have two...

That’s a good idea Towpack. Thanks

Today as I was doing a general clean up in the engine bay I noticed the accelerator cable (between the cruise control box and injectors) was lying a little low as it reached the “half moon“ (don’t know its technical name!)- see part A in the photo. Easy to adjust the level higher (nut on part...

Brilliant Andy. Many thanks.

Oh ok. I guess we have different model 80s. The hunt goes on! thanks

Andy are these not too small at 4” rather than 6.5”? Thanks

Yes depth of speaker is main challenge. Anyone find any 6.5 inch speakers that fit 80 series round front door mounts? I am just after simple replacements nothing fancy. Thanks

Thanks @DaveS have emailed thanks @Jacob have emailed bresco too

Hi all I want to attach two solar panels to my roof. Idea is to attach the panels to two aluminium cross bars. Then I need to attach the aluminium cross bars to the airline or logisitics tracks that run down either side of the roof. So I have found these bolts that attach to the...

Hi all I am going to replace what I believe to be the original power steering pump on my 1992 80 series HDJ81. Options appear to be : 1. New one from Toyota @£1,000 (Not!) 2. New one from Milner’s or ebay at around £150 3. Refurbished - spoke to a bunch of firms that used to do this but no...

yes pls Sarah

Good to know an easy fix! Thanks
