Been looking to change my tyres as they are getting a bit worn out, current size is 275 70 16 on some wheels that i really like. Been offered some 265 75 16 at a bargain price but wondered if anyone else had changed to this size? I have used the tyre comparison calculator and it show very little...

SOLD SOLD SOLD After clearing out more stuff I have found my gazebo made by draper. It is 3m x 6m and has 3 x pairs of sides so fully enclosed if needed, they are still in the plastic wrapping. The 2nd pic is to show the sides but on a smaller model. The pictures are from the Draper website...

I have been doing all the usual stuff and thought it was time to sort the breathers as just corrected an oil leak from the speedo drive and changed the oil. Now, I have searched though all the stuff on here and yes there is loads of mods which I will do, but still cant find the actual breather...

With more clearing out in the garage I found these that I bought a while ago and never used. Looking for £75 which seems to be half price, plus postage at cost whatever that works out to be or collection from Southampton.

While working on the 80, I have been digging through the garage to find all my od stuff and came across these spare hitches that are surplus to requirements. Not sure about postage etc but sure something could be worked out before I put them on gumtree. Bradley Doublelock: £75 All cast and...

As I have been out of the loop for a while, I thought I would ask a couple of questions as I go through my 80. I have searched quite a bit on here and have found lots of useful info for doing the work but the main things are obtaining the actual parts. 1. I am going to install a separate trans...

Need to replace mine as leaking but wondered if I need any extra gaskets for the intake pipe that goes over the top of it or is it sealed with RTV Sealant instead? 24v Auto

As I posted recently I now have another 80, bit of a different model spec than I've had before but this one came up and I liked it. On the surface it looked great, and it is, I just have a long list of things to do to it as it seems to have gone through many various uses. Lost count of the...

I thought I would post in this section as haven't really been around in a couple of years due to travelling and work but back now and took delivery of another 80 series last night, this time a 24v auto as never really liked the manual box in my last 24v despite it being very reliable. Waited a...

After a long absence, I have had to sell the 100 series I only just bought as I am starting my own business doing training in areas like Health and Safety and First Aid, amongst other Agricultural stuff I wont bore you with now. This had me thinking what sort of vehicle would be best and after...

Just took the plunge on new tyres for the 100. Went for the ST Maxx in the end, hope for better results than last time. Sent from my GT-I9295 using Tapatalk

Need to replace two of the tyres on the 100 and until I decide what I want to do with it I don't want to spend a fortune on new ones or change the size just yet and I'm sure there are loads of sets knocking around in the garage unwanted :thumbup: I currently have Runway A/T on there and only...

Just getting off the tunnel on my way to Paris and all the dreaded lights came on the dash :icon-rolleyes: it was nothing obvious like belts/fuses/circuit breakers/connections etc so kept the engine running and got straight back on the next train without switching it off and made it to Folkstone...

Has anyone done it? Not worried about the wiring or mounting side of things but the existing head unit seems to be slightly overlapped by the dash panel and the opening may not be large enough for the new one to poke through, I know some have the thin strip around the edge that can be left off...

Just to give a quick :thumbup: For the new Cruiser I did the usual calling around, online quoting and even went down the high street (scary prices) but my situation is a little strange due to being overseas for a while and having some gaps in my history and not being able to prove my insurance...

Having withdrawal symptoms so bought another Cruiser, 100 series this time as its the best one to get :eusa-whistle: Not going to modify it at all, totally standard and its staying that way :shhh:

As I may be in the market again for another cruiser the v8 lpg models are quite an attraction but wondered what to look for on the LPG as heard about additional lube systems, certification and multi point systems? What are the questions to ask the seller on the specs of the system or if I was...

Not mine but spotted when looking for other stuff http://www.gumtree.com/p/wheel-rims-tyres/off-road-jeep-tyres-bargain-/1112683302

One more for you guys, any recommendations for a website design and someone to create a logo etc for a new company?

Hey all, have been asked to set up a little project but need to be instructor level in the above subjects (as well as a few others) and need to get the right tickets so I can issue industry approved certificates. I have taken the courses before as an operator but not instructor and wondered if...

Well its been a while I suppose, sunning myself in Australia and living the high life :icon-cool: Sadly might be all coming to an end due to the worldwide downturn in the Agricultural business so will need to sort something new back in the UK I know we have a few truck drivers on here (the big...

Decided to have a play off road with two wheels this time so have a used BMW R1150GS. Needs a few tweaks and tarting up but the price was great.

Well the time has come to get a tablet. I don't want anything apple related and lots of recommendations point towards the Samsung 10.1 tablet but what would be a reasonable spec as there seems some choices like 3g, 16gb etc.

Looking to setup a new website but never done anything like that before. Do I just register with someone like GoDaddy and let them do everything? Need to get the email address matching the site and all the things that go with it. I will get the design of the website itself done by a pro company...

What a game, although the best part was the emotion from the SA coach each time SA scored :dance:

Need a new GPS unit for on and off road mapping as my HEMA Navigator is not up to the job. Just wondered if the Montana is still the best current unit available as it seems to tick all the boxes like mapping, waterproof etc.

Simply amazing, and you thought you had problems....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxfPZOIuWbs

Out for a little jaunt in the country, was out looking for the old track to an old mining town called Jerranderrie but must have missed it, out again tomorrow. All in about a 350km trip all off road :-) I started out early and snapped the last pics, one of the best views I have ever seen.

Interesting method at about 5 mins in. The bit at 10.30 is where I will be this weekend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=Xz0hN05GyLQ

Managed to drop in on the All 4 x four spares guys today. Just like Craddocks but do all the jap stuff too. 2 x prop ujs (toyo) 1 x hose and belt kit (gates) 1 x drivers side genuine Toyota battery tray plus clamps as I don't like the steel one I have. 1 x diesel filter All for $200 :thumbup:

Made to go on the foxwing or the copies, gives acres of space! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4X4-WING-AWNING-CHANGE-ROOM-WALL-KIT-OFF-ROAD-SIDE-AND-REAR-4WD-/251176009166?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a7b41bdce This is what I am going for, a bit more reasonable but as i'm getting an...

Just found these, maybe posted before but thought I would anyway. The guy has quite a few on there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3CI4mmEv6A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlcVwWAAHw8

Just bought my spot messenger, easy to set up and use, great bit of kit but maybe a bit late after 70000kms of travelling around. Off on some 4x4 tracks soon so will log the routes and post.

Looks like a good event, will try to make this one. http://tufftruck.com.au/

I'll let you decide, here is the proof :whistle: http://digilander.libero.it/jamespaul/fc1.html

I have had to evacuate my house under the advice from the Rural Fire Service. We had temps all over topping 40 degrees but also strong winds which is a bad combination. I have gone 400kms west, doing some work out here so works well for me. This is the latest map of the area.

Think i will be ordering this :-) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/80-SERIES-SWITCH-GAUGE-COMBO-ARB-Rocker-Switch-Driving-Lights-Not-Painted-/271115138221?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f1fb8b4ad

Hey all, as the 276c Garmin is considered the muts nuts of navigators according to many reviews, is it still as current as it needs to be as i have the chance of getting one. Just wondered if things like maps are still available or is there a newer better model? (that is actually better rather...

Just doing the shopping for a snorkel and came across these two: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Snorkel-Toyota-Landcruiser-80-Series-LC80-Lexus-LX450-/120959058615?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c29b8c2b7...

Just a little shake down trip to get the feel of the suspension etc. One of my local tracks, only about a 300 km round trip, a good drive up through the National Park and then a good thrash along a fast badly corrugated road through a forest drive, the Tough Dog is absolutly perfect especially...

This is the new model by Waeco, taking things by storm and performing well even though in the Holden Commodore for now for work :icon-cool:

Just put the truck in for the new Tough Dog Suspension. Just thought you should know :whistle:

I have a dual battery system on the 80, been on since new. Just tidying up the engine bay electrics and noticed that the two batteries have been leaking, cleaned it all up, treated, painted etc and noticed that the leak is coming fom the filler caps on the batteries. Checked charging and all...

Will be looking to bring back my 80 from Oz and maybe a couple of others. Question is, if the vehicle is modified will it get though the inspections for use in the UK? Do all vehicles go through SVA? I will be adding accessories to the 80 which i can take off, but will things like the...

The new truck has genuine Toyota wheels but they are chrome, not to my taste so will change them. Has anyone had any success having them dipped and redone in a colour. I have painted chrome parts before using things like an etch primer but it never seems to last long.

Well sort of, will pick it up next weekend :dance:

As it says, off to look at a hj61 with a 12ht motor, anything to look for?
