    Lubing front end knuckles

    My bad. I should have with every oil change in the engine, you should lube (grease) the knuckles. That's exactly what I needed to know. Thank you from the bottom rung on the ladder!

    Lubing front end knuckles

    Hey guys, here's an easy one. Never had a LC or any vehicle with this type of front end. My manual says to lube the knuckles every 5k with oil change. So, is it talking about opening the plug on top and adding lube there? If so, with what a spoon or tongue depressor? Or, Am I missing...

    Lj78 arches/flares

    I've seen 4 inch flares on the internet, but that's a lot of flare. I am currently looking to track down a 78 (wide) which appears to have about 1 1/2 - 2 in flares from the factory. Whether they are removable or not, I don't know.

    I called Dobinsons in OZ this week and they don't make an adjustable Pan Hard for RHD LJ78's.

    Rear Springs for KZJ78

    Not a lot of help as I have just joined the Cruiser world with my 78. Of all your options, I would ask myself the following, is 20 % more enough? OME and Dobinsons are all I've found so far for the 78. But I've just started looking. I really like the thought of the air bags. Total...

    Hello

    It was very easy. As long as you have the signed registration and a bill of sale, and the VIN or in this case the Chassis numbers match (registration and vehicle) you only need pay 2.5% duty on purchase price. Note: vehicle must be 25 years old to import into the U.S.

    Hello

    As requested, a quick introduction. I'm Jim and I have just made a 1991 LJ78 a U.S, citizen. I've been looking at RHD Turbo diesel rigs to import and settled on this little gem. I will be personalizing this rig in the months ahead. That means I'll probably be asking a ton of questions as I...
