I see your point. However, if I am going to start making modifications to make it more comfortable, I probably better increase the leg room too. I think I do not need to touch the folding mechanism to tilt it a few degrees. I just need to lift it, that will create the angle.
Thank you for your response Shayne.
I think the catch for the two models is the same. The only differences that I can see are the actual bracket, the frame and probably the rear seat cushion support position as can be seen in the picture

I have imported a J71 swb from Japan. This vehicle it is a heavy duty utilitarian that is designed to carry up to 500kg. Therefore, the rear seat has been designed thinking more in having more space to accommodate cargo than in passenger’s comfort.
That is why the positioning of the rear seat...
Those are great tips Tractionman and Gary thank you very much. However, it will take some time before I can do any of them. Unfortunately, I broke my leg. Take care with the ice out there. Thank you.
Karl2000 no problem – I have done plenty of research and I think the closest place to NE Scotland that seems to be good is in Glasgow. I made an appointment this year. Unfortunately, due to work commitments I had to cancel it (It is 3 hours’ drive there – one way). So, I guess it has to be next...
Wjamie – Excellent you got money back after using it for 2 years amazing. I was not sure how good they were but it is nice to hear all those good comments. I wonder why is so difficult to find them (no commercial version). I am sure you will be very pleased with the LC150.
All the best enjoy it...
Hi Karl2000 where would you recommend to get it rust proofed close to the NE Scotland?
Wjamie congratulations for your LC what was your experience with the Jimmy?
Hi guys,
I was wondering if you know or have experiences mounting a heavy wheel on the rear door. How much weight will the rear door on then J70 can support? I am planning to mount a 315/70/17 tire, the tire and the wheel without air weight around 41Kg.
Will the hinges cope with this load? Or...
Hi Tractionman.
I don’t think that is the case. In fact the old LC are selling like hot cakes in Japan and there are some that are even more expensive than a brand new Toyota.
Fishertibia the only problem of buying from japan yahoo auctions is that you need to be in japan or have a Japanese...
Actually that is correct!!! It is in a 70 series the one from the picture I imported it from Japan after a very thorough check. ''tell me there is a warehouse full of them and somebody lost the keys to it 25 years ago :pray:'' I wish
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering what type of engine oil is the best or is recommend for the 1HD-FT’ 4.2 L (4,164 cc) straight-6 24 valve SOHC turbocharged diesel engine? Many thanks for your help.
Many thanks for the info. I have used them and it has work great so far but I thought it may be a place in the UK in case you need something fast. I haven’t had to pay any VAT so far, probably because the things I have ordered have been small (inexpensive) I guess.
You are correct probably I should have been more specific but I was waiting for any reply to give an idea. I didn't want to be so specific just in case nobody else have the same model as mine. Mine is model HZJ71V 2002 japanese market. Thank you
Hi all,
I have a 70 series with an upgrade engine that I recently imported from Japan.

Please find attached some pictures of the engine if you can give me some...
