wow, that’s beautiful. Uro box? love to see more pics.

Sad news. Condolences to his family.

You might well find it’s cheaper to buy from PartSouq or Amamaya inc delivery etc than from TGB anyway. As for helpful Toyota dealers they seem few and far between these days.

I went on a free ticket on that original invite. Had to take the FJ thanks to DVLA not registering the Troopy in time… It was a nice weekend. It’s a nice show, if very small and the venue was lovely. I gave them a lot of input how to develop the Overlander side of the show going forward and they...

My experience of multicar was it was good value for 1st year, on renewal they doubled the premium for the Honda Jazz, (not the FJ) no explanation from them so I swapped insurer. I suspect it was a case of ‘try it and see if they just renew’)

Hmmm don’t know. Spec for my 78 is 75W85 GL5 for diffs and 75W90 in the T box and gearbox Are you a TOA facebook member? Be worth asking there

Don’t see why we can’t call a Smurf a LC….be nice to follow its story.

A friend just swapped out his. He’d be willing to sell it but doesn’t want to post. He’s Worcester direction. Send me a pm if interested with a contact and I’ll pass it on

My interpretation of his thinking, or lack there of, is that on cars where the dash illumination is always on then there is a green “lights on” indicator, to remind dumb drivers they turned them on…for us folks with old tech, our dash only illuminates when we turn the lights on so that is the...

Some wiring diagrams are availble via PartSouq if you put in your chassis no. Otherwise try ebay Australia. There are some resources on the TOA Facebook page I can look for you, Where is the fault? Is it a VDJ?

Sounds good. I was going to try and arrange camping next to the river nr Mildenhall but won’t pursue if this works. Sadly I now work weekends so can’t make it

There are lots of synthetic ropes for sale on eBay but most will come out of China with no certification. Likewise I recall asking David Bowyer of Goodwinch for his certification and was told “he sometimes tied a length to the back of the Range Rover and couldn’t break it” !!! (Not sure how the...

I tried to set up a camping weekend last year, sadly the land owner messed around but I’m going to try again for this year. Site near Midlenhall Suffolk, big flat field next to the river and short walk along river path to the pub. Have to work around the hay crop but hopefully I can sort...

Ye I know Ardingly well, cousins owned various properties there for many many years, so yes I know the many walks thanks.

Front Runner Under Console Safe for Toyota Land Cruiser 76 - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Most of the Aussies put a fridge in the space. Couple of offerings that are ‘made to measure’. If I had the space there I’d put a small safe hidden inside a console…

No it’s not the first event there. TT have done about four of these last year. I went to two, they are fun if you don’t mind the goings on of the VW crowd around you (Music, parties and plenty of Cannabis!) Totally informal gathering, good atmosphere and a separate area to the VWs but adjacent...

Possibly. Z’s now too old to travel and I’ve not the funds and I might have alternative living so I might consider selling as it’s a bit wasted sat doing nothing much or being a ‘daily’ but we’ll see I can’t think what else I’d want to drive!

The houses are built on the same springs as the 80…or similar

Just git sent the link. Didn’t expect to see that up for sale!

If your budget is tight you can buy replacement foam base from Toyota which might or might not save some ££. Otherwise I’d consider just a very good pair of tailored covers such as Escape Gear. I had a go at rebuilding an 80 seat with some success with some leather I had and using the other...

Your title says it all. A tale that sadly can be repeated by many of us about friends. Best wishes to Geoff.

Bumper made by Pete Hazard (Haz-Fabs) Chicken - Parking sensor

Finished rear bumper.

Or add a storage solution with a dash mat from 4x4 Assist South Africa. Custom made to whatever you want.

That looks amazing! love the colour. I didn’t realise Alu-Innovations left the roof unpainted on the black roof….if I had I’d have probably chosen that over white…but never mind I can wrap the edge when I get bored…. That looks too new to be allowed in the US on the 25yr rule?(your flag says...

Hello. show us pics of your Troopy and your travels please!

A friend made all my stuff for me. The sliders were welded to the chassis if I recall right. No issues with anything on MoT/ insurance etc.

Popped back to Pete Hazard for the finish off on the bumper and he came up with a method of opening the swingaway with the door… awesome. (Yep not painted yet) Also added the receiver hitch and a top plate (so now I won’t drop everything down the gap!) Thanks Pete.

I have Staun deflators and also a set of the cheaper copies. I used Stauns a lot on my old 70. They work well and take up no space. Indeflate looks good but costly, keep meaning to see if I can make up something similar

Sorry, I misread that you wanted an accessory live, but what I said would be the same for an ignition live. The accessory power outlet if you hae one has options for live, accessory and ignition. My DC-DC didn’t require me to connect in to any feed other than link it up to the start battery...

Does the 90 not have the accessory power box in the engine bay? On my FJ I picked up an accessory feed from the fuse box on an ‘add a circuit’ ran it to a relay which then powered an aux fuse box from which I could then hook up accessories such as dash cam, usb chargers etc

This one does all measurements

95mm

Got to thinking….having only recently been educated on JIS having owned Toyotas for 30years! The OE tool kits have a double ended screwdriver in them but I don’t think it’s JIS? (I have several) So they supply a screwdriver that isn’t for their screws…

Been following your adventures. Brings back memories of my trip back in 2004 but I only went as far down as AZ

The closed roof has plenty of space for bedding. I have sleeping bags or duvet and a reindeer hide stored up there. If you have a search on YouTube Troopy Africa (I think) has a great video comparing the two roofs search Alu-cab-Alu-Innovations
