Well the 120 failed MOT today and garage not letting me have it back unsafe to drive. Brake pipe leaking apparently and he is telling me has to drop tank to fix. Now i have not gone under there looking at brake pipes but aren’t the pipes routed the same as a 95 down the chassis over the axle to...

Hi all. It has been a while….. hope I find all of you well. The 95 is no more but I now have a 120 with no mods at the moment. I am going to have a look around and see what has been happening and catch up then update my profile. Steve

Well it has been a long time in coming but at long last I have finished the latest boot boxes for my truck. The metal (12mm box steel) from metal 4 u, which I have to say gave me a fantastic service even down to the delivery driver who carried the order around the block as he couldn't get his...

Gents, Today I took the old girl for her MOT and I am pleased to say that she past with no problems. So why tell you that. Well here is the thing, couple of weeks ago the Brake compensator valve spring had snapped. Toyota do not sell the spring as a individual item and I was not going to pay...

Hi all, I know that this has been covered before but I would like to run this past you guys before I take the head to find nothing. Now then as some of you know I have had a problem for a while now and I have been to France doing the Massif and had a chance to do some serious observations. Now...

Guys, This one is for you auto box specialists out there,.. In general my box is fine it has done 175000 miles now and has developed an odd habbit. On the Colorado it has an overdrive and when it changes from one gear to the next it uses the overdrive chambers as a cushion for the main change...

Guys, I fixed the winch but whilst doing a service on the electrical system I found that the solenoids in the solenoid pack are degrading fast. Whilst looking around for new ones I found these http://www.devon4x4.com/index.php?page= ... &Itemid=14 Has anyone used one of these to replace the...

Have any of you guys taken the motor apart on the warn winch?. After the lack of perfomance of mine at Lincomb I have taken it apart and found that it is full of Lincomb orange. The gear end is fine and I have stripped that down and in the prosses of cleaning, however the motor end is full of...

As some of you may remember a year ago my Colorado developed a Canary squeek that turned out to be the rear UJ on the rear prop shaft. Well I bought a new UJ from Milners and fitted it and all was good the squeek went away alog with some of the vibrations. Well nearly one year to the day of...

Well guys as some of you know I have just come back from France where I suffered a slight over heating problem. Nothing that I could not keep under control but needed looking at. Whilst in France Jon Wildsmith and I took a look at the old girl and found that the condesor fins were knackerd and...

Here is my truck at play, she has been nick-named the Black Widow by the kids on my Street. She is a Colorado KZJ95 with a 40mm lift, winch and lots of other bits and bobs. Here she is playing in the woods. Showing off a bit of articulation at Lincomb Farms and the trap that caused a...

Well guys, I am looking for a new Lap Top/Carputer, now it has to be able to do three things well. 1: It has to be able to deal with editing and have enough memory and processor speed for the downloads from a 1080 HD video camera. http://www.goprocamera.com/index.php?ar ... oductid=30 2: To...

As some of you know there are a few of us on here that are doing the Raid Astrix this year, it is a gentle ramble (if that is possible with a convoy of Landcruisers :lol: :lol: ) through France using nothing more than a trip meter and road books for navigation. In fact Lap tops, Tom Tom's etc...

Has any noticed that down in the whose logged in section that every now and then there is Google (bot) and you can not click on it to find out who it is. Any one know what or who it is? Steve

Well I finally got round to changing the back door hinge today. I have had an annoying rattle from the worn hinge for weeks now. It is an easy job all I did was back the truck up to the open garage door so that when the back door is open it leans against the wall on the number plate lights. I...

Now that I have the trip meter I have been looking at Map wheels. Now there are lots out there, digital and analogue the choice is surprisingly large. What would you guys recommend? Steve

Well whilst giving mine a good clean I noticed that the centre box (exhaust) has taken a knock and I think explains the loose baffles that I have. I was wondering what would happen if I removed it and put a straight through instead, would it affect the turbo back pressure thus resulting in...
