I had a set of sliders sat in the garage for 6 years before I sold them. After driving extensive lanes across England and Wales, and 1,000s miles of off-road trails across Europe and Russia, I have never once needed a set of sliders. For the cost of a set of sliders I would imagine there are...

Much cheaper on eBay Denso Alternator Fits Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Land Cruiser Amazon DAN1114 | eBay - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

It’s not coming to the U.K. Not sure about elsewhere in Europe. We will be getting the new 250 though which looks to be a proper return to form for the Toyota Land Cruiser.

Sounds like it could be a good option…..

Unfortunately I just haven’t the right experiences to trust getting something made will be made to an appropriate spec for the 80 and how it is used. An OEM prop is properly balanced and constructed and can take the stress the 80 is subjected to when used as I do. I have had some poor...

I am in for the same. As I understand it you need the whole prop. Front section won’t be enough. It is possible to source second hand but you take your chances... I am still undecided as don’t want to find myself needing another one. Good option from over the pond would be Brand New Rear Drive...

Based on my experience I’d definitely warn against a cheap replacement. I bought a new alternator from Roughtrax and it’s lasted less than 12 months. If you’re keeping the vehicle for a while I’d invest in a quality replacement or rebuild.

My understanding is that if EGTs are within ‘safe’ limits the 1hz is probably okay at 17psi but it is a big if. I don’t believe it is possible for EGTs at 17psi of boost to be anywhere near safe without a good intercooler. Is your EGT probe in the manifold? If you are managing your EGTs within...

There’s also nothing specialist about changing a Land Cruiser head gasket. Anyone with experience can do it. Just ensure they are happy to use OEM parts which you can easily source via Amayama or Partsouq, and use the FSM specs. There are very detailed write-ups available listing all possible...

I have a 2way indeflate. One of the few ‘gadgets’ actually worth having. Hardly used in UK but used 100s times on 6-month trip. Makes airing up and down much easier.

Not quite. The air in the intercooler has already been pressurised (i.e. compressed) by the turbo. This is why it gets hot and why an intercooler helps by cooling the pressurised air. If you get a leak it is a boost leak and you lose power. Your engine needs pressurised air, not air at...

I’d suggest reading through this thread, especially the first 20-30 pages or so https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/the-official-1hdt-intercooler-thread.514067/ There is extensive data testing a2a, w2a, and top vs front mount. All data converges on front mount a2a being the optimal set-up by a...

All good here thanks. Just got back from a 6 month tour of the Balkans. Hope you’re all good. I’m keen to come back to Portugal soon, be good to catch up and drive some trails.

Yep, will be a voltage issue. Either alternator or cable as suggested

I may be wrong but my understanding is FTE pump runs higher line pressure than the FT pump in which case the injectors will not work…

I’m in the process of finding someone to do mine…..

I do….. Ping me a PM and we can discuss if you’re interested. Here’s a link to the initial build. Evolution of a trailer - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

12-14psi is considered the ‘safe’ limit for a stock turbo though some have run it much higher….

I only noticed because the temp was outside of the range for my setting. I usually set the temp to 2C so the range is 0-4C but I saw it was over 4C. When it happened I could see the compressor light was on but it wasn’t running. I simply switched off and on and it worked again. Only ever done it...

Still for sale and open to offers. Otherwise going on eBay.

You can buy blanking plates from @chapel gate on here

Superb. We’re just returning from our 6 month trip to the same countries! I’ll do a little write up in a week or two. No doubt we visited many of the same places.

That bolts directly to the chassis

The only tip I’d give is to check if what you want already exists. Unless you can do it yourself, good fabrication is not cheap. With hindsight I could have ordered a self-weld kit from the US for about the same as my solution cost.

Flexible lines are often easier to fit than hard lines.

If the LC200 is a standard 12 volt system, I would suggest simply removing the existing wiring and running dedicated feeds from the starter battery to wherever you want to go. You can then be sure the wiring is as it should be. I have a trailer with a DCDC charger powered by a single feed from...

I believe Terrain Tamer do an uprated clutch. Definitely available in SA

Did you ever get these wings? I’m looking to overhaul my bodywork next year and need a couple of new wings.

You could rebuild yours. Detailed write up here. Power Steering Pump rebuild guide - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] Rebuild kit from Roughtrax Genuine Toyota Power Steering Pump Seal Kit - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

I used this company to rebuild the AC compressor on my 80. Much cheaper than a genuine replacement. My compressor wasn’t listed on the website but gave them the part number and they said yes. Automotive Compressor Repairs Ltd+44 (0)1932 571980 - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]. This was around 4...

The coolant mixing with ATF is another of those supposed issues with AFAIK absolutely no evidence in Toyotas. I’ve certainly never come across any report of it happening in a Toyota. If the OEM radiator is in good shape this is not going to be an issue and as I stated above, that is a...

People who don’t understand the Toyota cooling system are forever suggesting that. These are the same people who often then go on about the dangers of over-cooling your AT fluid. Both are rubbish. You’ll find that those who do understand the system suggest keeping the standard cooler and adding...

Or just order from Amayama or Partsouq.

I wonder if roughtrax would rebuild a box with a new shaft supplied by you…? Shafts can be got from chapel gate

If you did want a fully rebuilt box you could probably get one from the US for significantly less than Toyota even including shipping, import and VAT 19721: 1990-1997 Toyota LandCruiser Steering Gear - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Stronger shaft and arm are available but not needed unless running bigger tyres. I believe roughtrax do fully rebuilt steering boxes on an exchange basis

You’ve already answered your first question. There is no way round the 90/180 rule. You simply have to manage your time in Schengen and non-Schengen countries, evidencing your time in each with stamps in your passport. There are no options for long stay visas that are not very complicated and...

I can’t match Nick’s experience above but have done lots of 4 week trips in different types roof tent and currently 2 months into a 6 month trip living in roof tent with a child. As Nick says, what sort of info are you after? Also good to know if you intend to do extended wild camping, cold...

My aux tank is plumbed in such a way that I only switch tanks when it runs out as the gauge is so unreliable. Do you have an additional fuel pump?

I also have the same on my current 80 and had one on the previous 80. Both always read 70-80c under normal driving, spiking to an absolute max of 95-100c when engine severely worked (climbing alpine pass towing in 30c).

Hi Thelal, We’re currently in Croatia and driving a very similar route to you over the next 6 months - April through September. Our plan is follow large sections of the Trans Euro Trail through Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, North Macedonia, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania...

That’s a nicely built truck. Will be interesting to see some pics from Cruise Moab.

I don’t run any at all. They don’t last long with regular off-roading

I’ve had no flares in UK for 7 years without issue. They are not an MOT requirement

I’d already got a quote from my local dealer before posting. It is not critical enough to warrant such an extortionate price. This thread was simply to ask if anyone had one spare as I don’t have enough time to risk shipping from Amayama or Partsouq.

Not in the UK it isn’t!

Just checked and they’re different part numbers. I also leave on 2nd April. Thanks for the offer

Yeh if I’m stuck that’s what I’d do.

Yeh as would I normally but I don’t have enough time for it to arrive! My fault for not thinking of it earlier.

Dave did indeed convert to 12v starter from a 100 series but it is not a straight swap as there are a different number of teeth on the cog which needs sorting. The starter I linked above is a straight swap. It is the one that I and many others have used to convert from 24 to 12v start. This is...
