Just git sent the link. Didn’t expect to see that up for sale!

If your budget is tight you can buy replacement foam base from Toyota which might or might not save some ££. Otherwise I’d consider just a very good pair of tailored covers such as Escape Gear. I had a go at rebuilding an 80 seat with some success with some leather I had and using the other...

Your title says it all. A tale that sadly can be repeated by many of us about friends. Best wishes to Geoff.

Bumper made by Pete Hazard (Haz-Fabs) Chicken - Parking sensor

Finished rear bumper.

Or add a storage solution with a dash mat from 4x4 Assist South Africa. Custom made to whatever you want.

That looks amazing! love the colour. I didn’t realise Alu-Innovations left the roof unpainted on the black roof….if I had I’d have probably chosen that over white…but never mind I can wrap the edge when I get bored…. That looks too new to be allowed in the US on the 25yr rule?(your flag says...

Hello. show us pics of your Troopy and your travels please!

A friend made all my stuff for me. The sliders were welded to the chassis if I recall right. No issues with anything on MoT/ insurance etc.

Popped back to Pete Hazard for the finish off on the bumper and he came up with a method of opening the swingaway with the door… awesome. (Yep not painted yet) Also added the receiver hitch and a top plate (so now I won’t drop everything down the gap!) Thanks Pete.

I have Staun deflators and also a set of the cheaper copies. I used Stauns a lot on my old 70. They work well and take up no space. Indeflate looks good but costly, keep meaning to see if I can make up something similar

Sorry, I misread that you wanted an accessory live, but what I said would be the same for an ignition live. The accessory power outlet if you hae one has options for live, accessory and ignition. My DC-DC didn’t require me to connect in to any feed other than link it up to the start battery...

Does the 90 not have the accessory power box in the engine bay? On my FJ I picked up an accessory feed from the fuse box on an ‘add a circuit’ ran it to a relay which then powered an aux fuse box from which I could then hook up accessories such as dash cam, usb chargers etc

This one does all measurements

95mm

Got to thinking….having only recently been educated on JIS having owned Toyotas for 30years! The OE tool kits have a double ended screwdriver in them but I don’t think it’s JIS? (I have several) So they supply a screwdriver that isn’t for their screws…

Been following your adventures. Brings back memories of my trip back in 2004 but I only went as far down as AZ

The closed roof has plenty of space for bedding. I have sleeping bags or duvet and a reindeer hide stored up there. If you have a search on YouTube Troopy Africa (I think) has a great video comparing the two roofs search Alu-cab-Alu-Innovations

The 80 Series is quite a bit wider than the 70’s not sure how much wider the axles are

They are rubber trim from here: Rubber Flexi Wide Arch 40mm Wide Fender Flares Jimny Discovery 4x4 Offroader | eBay - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] Same stuff is for sale in Australia by the metre for a fraction of the price but found it too late. It is screwed into the arch (holes drilled and...

@Pachyderme80 The ply floor is bolted down through the main floor, it wouldn’t move anywhere but I did this for safety in the event of a rollover. Anything bolted down to it actually goes through and bolts either to steel rails or the main floor again for strength in the event of a roll. I...

I ran 255/ 85 but on 16” rims. Yes on an 8” rim you are limited current rims are 8” and I run 255’s again and that’s about as narrow as I can go.

The Toyo is a good tyre and good value. I ran my KZJ70 on a taller narrower tyre for all round use for much better performance off-road than the stock size, if you do a lot of off-road it may be worth a look if there is more choice in a different size.

I guess about 8yrs as that’s how long I had my FJ. Used for tyre rotation every 5,000 miles so 8 times, plus a few other jobs like fitting sliders and bits, but nothing where it would have been under heavy load so didn’t expect a failure.

Just a heads up on a good replacement jack if anyone else is after one. The OE telescopic is an OK thing but it is slow to use and the three piece handle is a PITA. On my 70 I replaced the handle with one from a Daihatsu Fourtrak which is single piece and thus doesn’t wobble everywhere, I...

I don’t think any of the light duty J7’s had difflocks, some have LSD’s. Is it a JDM car? Virtually no JDM models, any series have lockers.

Autodoc are good for general service parts, good quality non OE, have a stack of filters from them. Plus if you leave your items in the basket for 24hrs good chance they’ll send you a free carriage code.

Can’t help with value, you’ll need to look at what else is for sale and compare condition. See them on the TOA page for big variation. Are you sure about the mileage? 50k on a 10yr old Troopy seems way too low, especially given it’s condition. Rust around the roof and gutters will be...

Ah yes I have a friend in Vermont and she spends half her life fighting rust on her FJ Cruiser.

Yes you could do that and doing it via a relay is the correct way. But I’d recommend using an aux fuse box rather than a busbar so you can easily fuse all your accessories correctly. I ran the same set up on my FJ, trigger wire from the cabin fuse box to a relay to a common input to a six way...

Had my KZJ70 13yrs inc two trips to USA and Canada. 250,000 miles… The FJ Cruiser for 8yrs before swapping for the 78

Greetings. Looks like you’ve put a lot of work into restoration and upgrades. Try the TLCA wedsite for advertising as they’re USA. Ih8mud.com

Hello, That’s a great collection of FJ’s. my understanding is the NE is tough on cars with heavy salted roads etc so you do well to keep them so clean. Thanks for sharing, I can only dream if ever owning a Forty!

Beautiful truck. Hardtops don’t just blow off though! Hope you manage to sort that as they’re pretty rare anyway. I have a workshop manual for body etc that will cover most of the vehicle, message me your email and I’ll send you a link to the scan I did. For parts try Partsouq and Amayama...
