Good choice on the colour! IQ

Commend your bravery! IQ

As subject heading indicates - anyone got any recommendations for an engine stand that can take the weight and length of a 1hd-ft. Machine mart has one rated at 346kg http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/ces-750a-engine-stand Anyone with experience of this or ... Recommendations...

1hd-ft's dropping valves is more a result of incorrectly adjusting the valve clearances is it not? Or more specifically not supporting the valve bridge when tightening the locknut, which results in the collets working there way out. IQ

Wow! I hope you're good with a welder, and I hope you've got a good camera to document it all (for us please), can't wait! Are these the candidates for the 1UZ? ... a real romantic! IQ

... I back the theory about seized UJ's not showing play but causing vibrations and also what seems like backlash. Could also check rear brake shoes. IQ

I would say 10.5k is about right, if it's also free from rust... but yeh good price, was following that, too much temptation. :) IQ

Brilliant - just answered one of my questions in another thread. Thanks Andy/Frank! IQ

Will a 40 do? http://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/407965-project-ambitious-1uz-fj40-help-needed.html IQ

I want to remove both batteries to carry out some exploratory surgery. Is there a time limit on how long things can be left disconnected? Does the alarm or immobiliser have an internal power source to save specific settings (do they even need one)? What's the correct procedure to disconnect a...

Brilliant start Chris.... looking forward to future updates! IQ

Congrats to you Chris, no more long journey's down the motorway to come back disappointed! Now the real fun can begin - looking forward to your build thread. IQ

No one said anything about a requirement to be compatible with other manufacturer's filters, Roger. Although yes I agree it's handy to have one tool instead of many. But again I can't see the chain type tool working on modern oil filter housings, with plastic caps, needing 32/36mm sockets, e.g...

Have a look here: http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_E_1994_TOYOTA_LAND+CRUISER_HDJ80L-GNMEXW_1603.html (this time of the 1HD-T) Is it not #16268, PIPE, WATER BY-PASS, NO.1, Part #:16268-17020 ? IQ

This might help, it's courtesy of Rosco, who is a member here on the forum. It's from MUD of a 1HZ, and not a 1HD-T IQ

hmmm... there's another thing that I just added to the "To do" list. Except my rear axle looks worse than that... at first when I saw yours I thought, what's wrong with that!

Rob, this stuff is well regarded....if you want to use an RTV. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kart-Wurth-Silicone-Special-250-Core-Plug-Engine-Sealant-Best-Price-on-eBay-/360640038279 IQ

I've had success with a combination of hitting the outside edge of the flange and also on the studs, but as mentioned already you do have to use some force, hence the reason for the brass drift/copper hammer. IQ

How do you keep warm during the day in those temperatures living out of a landcruiser? Especially with no eberspacher?

Nope, got a 1998 registered 80, manufactured in 03/1997, however badged as an Amazon, which does have the turbo stickers. HTH IQ

Congrats.!

Gary, with 5th being located in the middle of the box it's not a problem with the H151F, on others 5th is located at the back of the box, making them weaker. Frank/Jon, thank you for taking the time and effort to document this for the rest of us - it's fascinating! Are you doing requests...

Does application of the brakes have any effect? When was the last time you checked/greased your UJ's? ..wheel bearings?

"Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. - September 20, 2001 J W Bush" Is that what you're asking Graham? That was an article in the Gaurdian, about Mali (and some other places), no mention of kidnappings.... or Algeria for that matter! Do you agree or maybe think there is...

I have a '98, manufactured in 03/97, with an H151F. I bought it at 72K miles, currently has 81k. 1st to 2nd was tough, especially when cold, but when I changed the oil the gear changes were a lot smoother, including 1st to 2nd. I don't know when the oil was last changed though. I used Castrol...

Brilliant - thanks for sharing!

I'm thinking of buying a 2nd 80, a petrol perhaps! Just sold my 54 reg Passat TDi.. I must have it real bad. IQ

Thanks Jon, another decision, is to whether go for an Air Compressor or a Welder, first? i.e. which to add to the tool set first. I was looking at the Lincoln 231c or 271c from rapidwelding.com http://www.rapidwelding.com/dynamic/DisplayItem.aspx?c=K14046-1&zl=3...

I've got an iPad 2, and am very pleased with it! Very.... practicle, for want of a better word. IQ

Hi, I need some advice on which air compressor to go for. Searched here and also google. I'd be using it for impact tools, painting, sanding, etc. Anything that needs doing on the LC80. General consesus, it seems, is to go with something that has 14 cfm, 3hp, and a 150l tank. Am I on the right...

What tools did you use to get the rear axle and the propshaft looking like that? IQ

Wow... what a start. Please.... keep the pictures coming. This is exactly what I been wanting to do, I love the 60 and the 40 series, but have never welded before in my life! IQ

Amazing! Just finished reading Part 1 - thank you for sharing. Which camera are you using?

Tapatalk looks to be good... thanks! IQ

Hi Rob, re: calliper rebuild I've just finished rebuilding my front callipers, the truck was pulling to one side, mileage is 80K miles, brake parts were all standard OEM 80 Series. I also found uneven pad wear (one down to metal), and partially rusted inside surfaces of both discs, so I...

Any changes to be made in tapatalk?

Brilliant pics!! Also looking forward to trip report ... no pressure though! ;)

Would the BFG's not start to perish before you could get the max mileage out of them? Unless you do a decent amount of miles in a short period of time. How long before the rubber starts cracking - 5/6 years? 10K miles/year would yield 60K over a 6 year period. Food for thought...

Well done!
