might be, im not familiar with the aviation industry to be honest Chris. Call me weak but another thing I use all the time to get more leaverage on bolts is a 1/2" drive long handled flex ratchet, makes light work of any bolt

Apart from the usual tools an extra long handled 12mmx14mm spanner is great for working on jap stuff, especially prop shaft bolts!

Hi All, Some of you may have seen my 'wanted' post for a 90 series recently, and I'm happy to say that I've finally found one! This gives me 1.5 landcruiser's, as the other 0.5 is a road legal combination of 70 series Landcruiser and Daihatsu Fourtrak, but the plan is to take this off the road...

That one looks really smart Shayne, quite far away from me but worth it at that price, it's sold now though unfortunately. The good news is that I went to test drive a auto d4d the other day and I definitely want one.... then I won it on eBay but the bad news is the guy didn't the V5 and so...

Yeh i do want a d4d really because it's more bhp, the reviews I've seen recommend them over the older engine and also the truck will be newer

Still looking...

Thanks, PM sent

Looks tidy but above my price range tbh. In Edinburgh as well which isn't ideal for me but thanks for showing it to me

Sorry RL = Richard L, and you're right, you have bought what I'm after! All good points to think think about so thanks for that. I'm keeping an eye out on Autotrader, piston heads and of course eBay but haven't really found anything that ticks all the boxes just yet.... I'm not desperate so...

Ok thanks Shayne, in that case I'm after a d4d 90 with VX spec rather than GX spec if possible. unless there are any decent 120's for under £5k but think that's unlikely?

Hi all, I'm looking for a LWB Landcruiser Colorado 90, Needs to be: 3.0 D4D Diesel <200k miles Good condition Ideally: <150k miles Blue, black or silver VX LC4 or LC5 spec Non-import and standard Located in Staffordshire or Devon budget of £3-5k depending on condition, mileage etc...

yes i suppose that's one way of doing it! so do you think you're going to do the conversion?

after a bit more digging on buycarparts.co.uk i've found a KZJ70 brake master cylinder. It's more expensive but I think it might do the trick

Thanks for your reply Runekebab. I am using UK 89/90 2.4L LJ70 axles. originally solid disc front and drum brake rear, but now vented disc front and solid disc rear. (with LJ70 Servo and master cylinder). I always use EuroCarParts but could not find any replacement cylinders, buycarparts.co.uk...

Starting to have a problem with my brakes, suspected master cyclinder seal going as the pedal will slowly depress all the way to the ground if I stop with the brakes on for a while (30 seconds). no visible leaks anywhere and not using fluid. does anyone know other (potentially bigger) master...

I changed the front to vented discs and calipers a while back. did a rear disc conversion on the back of my LJ axles using the front calipers. Straightforward swap to vented discs on the front but you'll need new wheel studs as they're bastards to get out!

Hi, can anyone recommend some locking wheel nuts? I have spacers on so don't think standard ones would be long enough for the studs. Steel rims not alloys. thanks

A well made external roll cage to fit a toyota Landcruiser LJ70 or KZJ70. The front and rear hoops have TIG welded connecting pieces which then bolt to the central main hoop. pictures in links below. http://s1125.photobucket.com/user/Rich_Lott/media/justin.jpg.html?sort=3&o=274...

Hi, how similar are lj70 axles to hilux axles? I bought some deep dish rims but the front left fouls on the steering arm where the drag link comes down to the knuckle. I usually fabricate my own parts but don't want to mess with the steering for obvious reasons, but I see trail gear do High...

sorry, YD thought i had already posted a 'thank you'. cheers for that, that was the right part :clap:

Hi I'm having trouble locating the part pictured - the bush on the bottom of the gear lever that moves the gear shift. Went to my Toyota main stealer and thought we ordered the right bit but got the bit that locates the gear lever allowing it to swivel... Is there any uk places (euro4x4parts...

Exeter hose& hydraulic bloke was kind and gave me a couple of normal o-rings but i don't want to risk it tbh. I phoned alliance seals and the guy sounded promising and might've been able to supply quad seals (X shaped cross section that expands under pressure better than o rings) he said he...

thanks guys, a few more places to try, i shall give them a go a report back with my progress!

Today i tried visiting a few bearings/seals etc places with no luck. also a motor spares plade on the 'off chance', and Exeter Toyota. the parts man had a schematic diagram but it only listed the piston seals :( one of the bearings places suggested having a cheeky word with one of the fitters...

here is a pic of the seal. approx 10mm diameter

yeh the body is square cut roger. and i know what you mean Iwan but i'm pretty sure these are cut square (like the caliper piston seals are cut square) rather than deformed.

Does anyone know where to source square cut o-rings from? I'm trying to reseal a pair of 4 pot lj70 front calipers but 'bigg red' rebuild kit doesn't contain the small square cut o rings that fit between the caliper halves (not the piston o rings) and one of the seals is damaged.

no, i'm not keen on drilling discs either. i have fourtrak axle already which i think has vented discs so hopefully they might be ok for me, 312mm OD LJ78 rear vented looks like a good option, and for £18 ea inc vat isn't too bad at all (milner) or 300mm OD KZJ70 front vented discs possibly...

just had a look at your Difflock thread Ash, Looks good. Are you going to go down the KZJ route for the front or something else? is that £150 for genuine calipers etc YD? and what calipers and disks have you guys used? -i'm in the process of doing something similar. i was thinking of cutting...

is it tomorrow yet? :lol: :icon-wink:

X2 (please :icon-biggrin: )

ok thanks guys :) i'll connect the same wires that the daihatsu and toyota units have in common... as for the other yellow wires and relay... unless anyone has any better ideas i'll just let them sit there then! thanks

sorry for the late reply btw, i don't go on this forum that often but will make sure i do from now on!!

30% Devon, 70% Shropshire but parts are in devon..... if people let me know what they want then i should get the parts to them in 3 weeks max. as for the windscreen pm me an offer and i'll bring it back a week sunday :)

does anyone have any ideas?? want to get it connected up soon but don't how....

quick question, i'm fitting an LJ70 fuel filter assembly to a Fourtrak engine bay (of sorts). the original daihatsu filter assembly has wires going into the top of the assembly (fuel heater?) and wires into the bottom water trap. the landcruiser assembly also has these two sets of wires, as well...

G reg LJ70 radiator for sale

hmm, not good. last summer (well what was supposed to be summer) i put a set of IM coils on the truck i'm currently building. although my truck won't be a show truck i still don't want it to be all rusty, but i'd prefer that rather than the springs sagging. or do they do that aswell? :(

not much of it left but a few odd's & sods that will otherwise be going for scrap in a few weeks if nobody wants anything as i need the space! except for a radiator, unfortunetly there isn't much that would be immedietly usefull to build a new truck or whatever, more just random bits for running...

in a couple of years time this would be ideal, but until then i just can't afford it :( (it's a good price but unfortunately i'm simply broke at the moment!) hope you get a buyer soon, sounds sweet.

if anyone is interested i now have a G reg LJ70 radiator thats for sale

Thanks for all the replys guys :) that ebay item was pretty ideal, was relisted and only went for £100 in the end but now i'm thinking i might aswell save up for some 'decent' 35's (part worn but chunky (sorry, not really what the ad said :S )) here's a link to my project, although it's started...
