There’s a couple on eBay for similar money. Might be in a bit better nick but not by much.

Think I’m a bit late to the party here but it’s worth bearing in mind the Intervolt DCDC chargers. The gen 2 ones can cope with standard wet, AGM, Gel and lithium (with a suitable BMS) with solar MPPT input and a display in the cab. All at 25A all day long in Australia heat under the bonnet and...

When you get it out Bryan, take it to the bench and strip it down. The 80 series ones suffer from burned solenoid contacts which are available and an easy fix. Parts are probably available for yours. Chances are the rest just needs a clean. if you’re not up for that and simply want a...

Hi Bodie, These are the ones I make. https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/80-series-rear-gullwing-doors.143392/ PM me for pricing as everything’s gone up since 2015 but I am in the process of making another batch so not should be available within a couple of months if not sooner. Rich

Good point there Rodger. :lol:

Except it was then re-listed for £50,000, didn’t sell (obvs) and is now back on at £40,000. I’m not so struck on the rattle-can looking black details round the lower edges of doors and arches etc. Or the chequer plate in the driver’s footwell. Could these be hiding some rust issues either...

And it’s up on eBay too… https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-Vx-Amazon-Overland-Expedition-Camper-Not-Vw-T5-T6-/234152865506?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Any body shop will match paint to a sample rather than the paint code Rich as the original paint will have changed slightly. You have the best colour there btw. Me, biased? :icon-biggrin:

Looks like the one on eBay in slough posted elsewhere on here for quite a stiff price. Krown is a good bet imho. To see it displace water like a waterfall when applied is a revelation and Rob is super thorough with his application. It doesn’t cover up nasties or trap moisture.

Rubbers ordered. :icon-biggrin:

Apologies to Bat as I’ve only just seen your post. After more than a year this is going to be if no use to you Bat but for anyone else the answer is to run a minimum 25A cable and five it accordingly ar both batteries as close as possible to the terminals. That said, if there is any distance...

As a reminder I have stock of the Mark 2 version of these. Same features except they have replaced starter battery solar charging with lithium charging capability. PM for pricing.

Thanks Rob. :thumbup: 1, Nick, fbnss GMR x2 2, Steve, steverjuk GMR x2 3, Tom Burnet 4, Rob, RobfromYork GMR x2 5, 6, DandyLandy GR x2 7, Trev GM x2 (already have rubbers) 8. Jonesysi G 9, 10, Felix (2566) GMR x2

@Tom Burnet @RobfromYork Guys, can you get in touch please so I can order parts.

This has come in since I fitted mine and since my tester commented, it was a grey area at the time. Like I say, keep a pair of spare candles, sorry halogens, somewhere on the truck and change if need be, or if concerned, change before the MOT. With properly aimed good quality LEDs with a perfect...

Every vehicle LED you buy in the UK says ‘for off road use’. I asked my MOT tester about this and he said it’s a grey area. It’s probably that legislation hasn’t kept pace with technology, well, that’s my guess anyway. I decided to keep my old pair of halogens handy in case I’m stopped, where I...

Philips Ultinon LED lamps. No need to change the housing and they won’t disappoint. I’ve had mine several years now, maybe 4, I lose track. My MOT tester said they were the best pattern LEDs he had seen. The difference is night and day compared to halogens, no pun intended. You’ll cry at the...

Yes. Just make sure it’s a good one. Diesels are superb but not super refined as such. I’ve driven mine for over 18 years now and I still get a smile on my face when I jump in. Fabric seats are comfy and mine have lasted 27 years so far. Imports are no big deal. I was able to get parts for mine...

They aren’t rushing things now they’re this close to the finish line. It’s all getting done properly.

Beat me to it. :lol:

And now… 35

Hi Daric and welcome. Sounds like a good pair of cruisers you have. As said, some pics would be great to see. Best wishes Rich

I’ve got them fitted inside the springs as ‘helper springs’. Can’t remember offhand where I got them but mine has slightly taller springs, 30mm or so, and they work really well. I don’t remember ordering anything special but I guess if there’s a big lift they could do either taller bags or a...

Update time. I’ve placed an order for ten pairs of gullwing doors to be punched. The manufacturer I contacted, didn’t get back to me so I rang only to be told it wasn’t for them. :angry-screaming: So, back to the original maker, who did a perfectly good job last time. Material being ordered and...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :clap:

Roof rack now sold. Might keep hold of the sliders. From memory they were as stated for a 1” body lifted auto. I have an idea or two on how to mod them back down… if I ever fit them.

Classic. I can imagine a range of stuffed seagull toys with voices. Patrick really should do stand up!!

Great weekend. Fantastic company, 2 legged and 4. Good to see familiar faces and meet new friends, Jon and Alf , Raj who’s car I almost bought off him :whistle: even if Lynn didn’t fall for it. (You’re a great sport Raj for going along with that.) And thanks to HMG for the Jaffa Cakes round the...

Two full English on the Saturday please for me and Lynn.

On my way up to Manchester area for Lynn’s uncles funeral with two octogenarians, Lynn and her sister in the 80 we past the highest point on the M62 around Saddleworth moor. In the outside lane at 70 Lynn got half way through saying ‘what’s that’ when I realised we had a flat on the offside...

Wow!! Welcome Jim, looks like you saved up all your Christmasses and birthdays to arrive all at once. That has to be one of a kind and very interesting indeed. The AC probably blows cold as I’m guessing it’s still got R12 gas in it. Don’t be tempted to change this unless you have to. R12 is a...

I never realised what a work of art these things are. Good luck with the sale Matt. :thumbup:

It’s a head Turner alright… …for all the wrong reasons. More like a head shaker.

Roof tent and Batwing now sold. :-)

I almost put that in the description :)

Didn’t realise you were in Greece George, in that case you should have no issues with rust.

Hi George and welcome to the forum. move no idea on the articulation, someone may well know better but at a guess I would say that nothing would be lost. A word of caution though…LOOK UNDERNEATH before you do anything else. 120s sadly are subject to serious rusting. I’ve personally seen one...

I almost put that in the description :-)

Yours if you want it Nick. Shall I bring it to Brackley?

And here’s the rack for in the back. Bolts together with the divider underneath or would hold up pretty well without. Again, I never fitted it, but I was told it fits to existing mounting points, at least at the front. £50.

Sliders, I’m informed by Jon Wildsmith (correct me if I’m wrong). These will likely support the truck on a lifting bridge if you got stuck on one. 100mm x 50mm box section and about 80mm x 50mm channel, plus tube ends for jacking. Hoops have surface rust but it’s not as bad as it looks and would...

Sides are pretty much as new. The canopy fabric is undamaged but is a little marked from the ally rails. As can be seen it will self support to deploy and is probably fine without any wind but the legs give stability at other times. Some pics from today as I’ve just folded it out to check. The...
