That’s absolutely great, thank you

I’m loving all the ‘rules of thumb’ this is great, thank you

@fbnss do you want these seats? I’m going to just get rid otherwise….

@Gr8Yota my pal from Bungay can collect them this evening from me, we’ll meet in Luton. He’s then on 2 weeks holiday, but can hang onto them for you

All the paperwork is done, the ship is 2 weeks late…. I wish we had more time away

HZJ. It was early o’clock

Thanks for the advice, I collected my new windscreen rubber from my local Toyota dealer

Does anyone have a good checklist for daily checks/weekly checks on your 80 series for long drives? I’m going to be going on a very long drive soon, my mechanic was as good as I could get (given that I was let down by the Land Cruiser specialist I was originally chatting with); he didn’t manage...

Hi everyone, I bought an Australian import 1993 80 series 4.2 HDJ80 with a 1HZ engine (based in the UK). It has the factory sub tank fitted. Looking if it from underneath, the sub tank looks like it runs straight to the engine, once you have pressed the sub tank button on the dashboard. Is...

@Gr8Yota Harpenden in Hertfordshire

@Gr8Yota if you aren’t too far away, I can drop them over to you

@Gr8Yota why don’t you come & get them, if they don’t fit, see if anyone else can use them? I am leaving the country soon, it would be a shame to see them go to waste

Thanks, I’ll give it a go

Hi, does anybody know where I can get my hands on (in a relative hurry) the windscreen rubber seal for a 1993 80 series? HDJ Thanks in advance…..

I have no idea. I can measure the distance between the bolt holes if that helps?

Hi Iwan, I don’t know if they are original. Just really very comfy….. Here’s another shot of my floor, we are currently laying prior to selling the house…., hoping prospective buyers like it too :-D

I have a pair of front bucket seats that came out of my Australian import 80 series. They need some love, come with covers. They are undoubtedly the comfiest seats I have ever used, but sadly don't suit our configuration right now. If anyone is interested, drop me a line. Collection from...

Thanks Dave. Another member posted a link to a headlight shop, but I wasn’t able to find a compatible bulb (yet). It’s simply for brightness not a ‘look’. I had also heard that the fancy big LED lamps were frowned upon & potentially being made illegal by the UK government as a retro-fit.

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have an upgrade alternative for these headlights? They are currently the original chunky glass lenses, I’m looking for a sealed unit LED upgrade. See pics below for currently installed & ones that I would like to try & find….

Morning Everyone, In preparation for our long overland trip, we are separating the cab from the cabin with a dog guard style grille. We also needs separate key for the back door. This is no longer available as an off the shelf part from Toyota, does anyone have a recommendation of a good after...

finger trouble ‍♀️

@fbnss I’m just up the road from you, near St Albans. I’ve been scaring the shiny locals in their shiny 4x4’s in my lairy J80

Hi Bodie, I hadn’t actually thought of doing a thread relating to the trip, but if folk are interested in reading it, I’ll gladly post some pics & words along the way

@StarCruiser do you have another set to sell? Thanks

I am also looking for those gulwing wi does for my 80 series. Any links or info gratefully received. I am based in the UK….. Many thanks guys

Morning everyone.... I'm Jude, owner of a pretty shabby 1993 80 series Australian import called Cyborg We are currently doing a whole host of upgrades to make it a great overlanding vehicle. We (me, the other half & our 6 year old) are shipping out at the start of June for 15 months of global...

Bmonck, any chance of seeing some pictures of your water tank set up? Sorry all, if it’s off topic, but I am genuinely rubbish with IT (was looking for a way to DM) & I haven’t had my second cup of coffee yet…..

Hi, I’m a newbie on the site & was looking for other info when I saw your thread.….. We are shipping our J80 to the States for the start of a 15 month global excursion. If you are on Facebook, I strongly recommend you look up Overland Sphere. It’s a goldmine of overlanding info. One of the...
