Sooo... a little update :icon-biggrin: Got around fitting the turbo, suspension kit & wheels... and some window tint :icon-cool: The turbo made a hugeee difference! It's like I've put in a completely different engine! Very happy with how it's turning out :icon-biggrin: This is how it...

Thanks!

Finally got around fitting my suspension.. both front and rear springs got out without compressors, that is after undoing arb & panhard rod on front and flexy brake hose on rear. But new springs needed compressors to get in, just a little compress on the front and a little more on the back...

@ Jeepmadmike ... what truck is it ?

@ Gav Peter ... pretty confident I can do it myself, have done much more then just changing some suspension. Thing is this is my first ever truck.. so I'd rather ask then rest it on somewhere which is unsafe or which can give me trouble during work. For instance, a mechanic friend of mine told...

I agree with ben, now that you're going to put in money and effort to upgrade your truck I'd opt for something more powerful... Another cheaper option would be trying to find a 2.8 3L engine as found in the hilux... now that you have a 2L-T engine you can use its turbo system to turbo charge...

Only thing I'm still concerned of is where and on what am I going to rest my van on... Any suggestions please ?

Anyone ?

Hello guys, I've just bought an Ironman 2" lift kit for my LJ79 and am planning on fitting it in the next couple of days. It seems they're pretty straight forward to install.. provided the axles articulate enough for the springs to get in without compressors :think: Will they ? Please...

Changed all flexible hoses; problem still persists. Think its the master cylinder that at's fault. Anyone has ever experienced a similar problem ? Maybe its not letting the fluid to return into the reservior thus keeping pressure in the lines..

no taper for sealing ?

Hello guys! Currently gathering parts for turbo charging my 2.8 (3L) LJ79. All parts at hand came off a Surf's 2L-T... Since I use my cruiser daily I am planning on fitting the turbo on a weekend so by Monday morning I can use my truck to go to work :icon-biggrin: Question time; I am planning...

forgot to mention I've also flushed all brake fluid and bled the system...

Hello guys :icon-smile: Currently stuck on a problem with my front brakes.. thought you might give me some advice. Basically after starting and driving for a couple of miles the pedal gets hard and both front brakes start to stick. If I keep on driving the problem gets even worse.. the wheels...

Thank you very much for your comments :icon-biggrin: Currently waiting for an Ironman 2" lift and 33" BFG MT tyres... will post some photos when everything is installed!

Thanks Iwan_t24 :icon-biggrin: That is very precious information you've just given me! Cos tomorrow I am planning on buying all the parts for the turbo conversion. Why should I need the sump also ? Is it because of the oil return line ? Can you confirm the following list is all the parts I...

Hello guys :icon-biggrin: After a lot of searching I managed to buy myself a Land Cruiser, specifically an LJ79. These are exactly like the LJ78 but instead of the 2.4 turbo (2L-T) they have a n/a 2.8ltr (3L). Modification plans: 1. Turbo kit from 2L-T engine 2. 2" Lift kit & 33" tyres 3...

But thank you very much for your help Sir! :)

No they don't seem good. Mine are rounded in the corner and deeper. These are good for the Lj70 & 73 but not the 78 & 79.

Hi, I need to replace my RHS tail light lens on my LJ79 since it is broken and soon have to test my van. Today I bought an LJ70 item, thinking they're the same, but unfortunately they're not :( so I returned it to the store. I tried searching online but didn't manage to find any... can you...

The guy selling the vehicle just texted me saying he's changed his mind and doesn't want to sell anymore. What a bugger :icon-cry: So now I'm on the look out again for another Cruiser... will keep you updated if I find/buy something else

Hello there, My name is David, and I'm from sunny Malta :icon-cool: I'm new to this forum, and also new to Land Cruisers. I've been wanting a LC for a long time now, but since they're quite rare here in Malta I haven't managed to buy one yet. Most models we have here are the 70 & 90...
