Thanks Andy

Did you/have you run into any issues with an MOT after the delete??? I’m asking the same question as want to do the same thing…

Well that didn’t happen ;-) Work & life got in the way… So now we’re planning Spain in the summer… Will start a new thread.

I would live to give it a five star paint job, but then it would get scratched on the next trip, and our kids would continue to dirty the rear… so i can’t see the point of a 7 layer showroom job (i got quoted 22k in surrey) for a car that won’t sell for double that (when i’m dead and my wife...

Thanks!

I'm interested too - my 2 (front & back) lockers don't engage, so want to get that sorted out too.

May be duplicate of this: Reputable / decent bodywork - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] Sorry ;-) But since I've named shops above, maybe better to keep this one... I spent an hour looking for a DIY workshop near me this afternoon, and no go...

Hi All, Can anyone recommend a good bodyshop that will work on an 80 series...? I want to do a Raptor coat, but also need to sort some rust out - so needs to be a shop that knows metal and ideally has done Raptor before... So far, speaking to: - Tricketts (they have done rust work for me in...

Hi All, Coming back up for air after what was a hectic period at work.... and now starting to get ready for the summer adventures while I wait for new job to start. So, I have an Oztent RV4 + side awning + sides + roof basket + 270 degree truck awning (which also has one side for wind), which...

Redtail Overland - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] For the price of a well made teardrop trailer… Looks good though!

@felix2566 yes & yes. Let me know and I’ll see if I can get a shipping savings.

Holy crap. You’ve all instilled the fear of god in me. ;-)

I'm battling the rust worm, so watched these last night to understand what I need to do for the tailgate, hope someone finds it useful...

Hey Folks, Before I begin - I'm completely new at the idea of towing, so apologies for the n00b questions.... so here goes: Context: On our recent trip to the Pyrenees, there was a couple towing a very nice trailer, which was a very good DIY copy of the Patriot Campers X3: X3 - [Leaving Land...

I'm not saying it's a deal (or that I would spend 35k!) - just posting and then getting my popcorn ;-)

Hi Derek. What’s the interior trim like? And the steering BBC wheel leather? Would you mind DM’ing prices for the: - centre console fridge - overhead altimeter / compass - wheels (assume 5?) - snorkel - window weathershields Thanks!

2007 Land Cruiser Amazon 4.2 TD Auto - Beautiful Example... - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] £35k. Devon.

That’s the question I’m wondering @frank rabbets - is there any downside to taking the rear grommets out? I guess the flip side is the accumulation of dust. But as @Gr8Yota Says - the end of a cable tie should help keep the holes clear… If I ever get to Iceland can put them back!

Video 18-09-2022, 14 31 48.mov - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] Truck has been parked up for a few weeks, under a cover. Took her out today for some errands and this happened soon as I parked on an incline… I fear this is from the welder that fixed the seatbelt mounts but am not sure whether it’s...

Yup. But it’s not a Cruiser!

@Jacob100 that’s kinda why I think the Hilux is maybe a good compromise. The 2016+ models are Euro6 and you can still build a good rig with one. It’s not a Cruiser. But you can still live & go into a city and do stuff & also getting off the beaten track outdoors.

Sticking with the 80 for now. If we can’t escape London before ULEZ costs are prohibitive then it may have to be sold. Hopefully not. I love it. If we do have to sell, then after moving will look for options - Japan import / 70 series / Hilux / another UK 80 For now it’s undercover ;-)

Just spotted the typo now @Shayne ;-) Yes indeed - that is the plan to escape ULEZ

Tibus look too good to be true! All that lift and no need to change anything else!? While still keeping a daily driver that can do 80mph!?

Thanks @Andy - probably the Dinitrol layer that’s covering it then. Gonna check today

Thanks folks - I’m basically asking the question: Is the 100 series the last land cruiser in the UK suitable for Overlanding? If so, then for longevity the Hilux is probably the only other viable Yota option, or importing a 70 series from Aus or SA. Us for ULEZ, that is solved by moving out of...

Ahem…. Feel stupid asking this, but where do you get the chassis number @hopeless wanderer ?? ** ducks behind couch ** Thanks!!

2017 Toyota Land cruiser Invincible 2.8 D4D | eBay - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] No mileage listed, but… just wondering: - what series is this model? 120? - what are the mod options here? I’m assuming there would be a roof rack somewhere, but what about stuff like aftermarket bars & rear tyre...

landcruiser 80 hjz81 4.2 Amazon import japan 91k miles collectors classic mint | eBay - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Tip top @steph toy nc Looks like a beast ;-) What’s the setup you got there? And is that stock paint, or a raptor/matte paint job? What is the make of rear carrier - looks super neat & great for clearance. And those tracks…. If only we find those in Blighty…

@Lorin link above, sorry

My bad! Sorry. Here you go: Quarter Panel Mount: Quarter Panel Mount, 80 Series- right (batch 5 pre-order) - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Just seen that Joey is doing batch 5 of the QPM’s. I’m going to get one. Is anyone else interested in a group buy?

@Raj i recall you’re near enough to London? Would you mind DM’ing me your guy? Our AC wasn’t quite cold enough in Spain in August (last done in 2016) so want to get it checked & cleaned if I can…

I’m a bit out of my depth here so pls forgive me the newbie question: If I have a 1994 80 series diesel with two batteries in the front, why would I want to add another battery in the rear to do the “house” stuff, like awning lights & charging gadgets & powering fridges etc. Is it simply...

I’m interested too

Great to hear!

@Shayne Thanks for both raptor & sprayer links. Could definitely start on the rear tailgate that way.

This is closest to what I’m going for. Kut snake flares are only ‘cos I’m led to believe that if I take the fenders off it’ll fail an MOT. But looks like some folks are getting away with it if tyre size is appropriate (285’s ??). I can’t seem to find a definitive answer here. My main worry...
