Thanks Dervis - saw the Febest write-up too. My back is pretty full though so I'm gauging where the body mounts will come up in the back as I may only need to pull the drawers withoutout removing the mounting frame etc.

Actually, I believe these are the parts. Posting for others to use. So if anyone has advice on the rear most body mounts, that would be great.

Hi everyone, I noticed a few people have replaced their body mounts from time to time and I wanted to ask if anyone has the part numbers for the rubber/washer/bolts? Also, I wanted to ask on the rearmost body mounts, I have a drawer system fitted - does this all have to come out to change the...

Hope everyone is safe and well. Looking for some pointers. My 10A Gauge fuse will only blow in reverse and typically not when I move the automatic transmission lever from park to reverse - more when i actually begin reversing. It does not blow in normal drive conditions, only reverse. I tried...

Towpack, that was a revelation, confirmed by looking at the starting wiring diagram. Thank you! Now I just need to work out why, occasionally the indicator or the power windows blow the gauge fuse. And buy some 10A fuses in the meantime!

Interesting issue today. I was stuffing about with the driver's window while leaving the house. I know in operation, according to the manual, it can suck up to 14 amps. Went down town and parked up and couldn't start the truck. Could hear the solenoids clicking in on ignition and the starter...

Guys - so helpful as usual! Nick, your bullbar dips in an interesting way to expose that sensor - helpful though. Mine goes straight across. I think I now have a "freed" air temperature sensor.

Just had my air con condensor replaced in Oz and have excellent aircon again. However, when i got the truck back i noticed this sitting on the bullbar. The guy who didn't said he'd never seen one on an 80. I looked up the part number and it is temperature sensor Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ 80...

Reconnecting Clive - I got it out ok but I'm trying to put the hard washer tank back in and getting the hand in to reconnect that hose is proving difficult as the clip keeps knocking it off and it is difficult to sit flush again.

I can see my target in this thread https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/removing-the-front-wings-on-a-land-cruiser-80-series.145412/ but I'm a bit nervous about the "fiddly" and "rusty" descriptions as I am not looking to create extra work - already had a bolt snap on the innocuous...

Not sure as the front has the rear motor, the front motor and the lights motor [I think] plus tubes running off. Therefore the back one [which is much larger] is a mystery.:think:

Hi all, after watching a teenager take out her washer tank I thought it was child's play...until I got in and realised that the auxiliary battery plus wire to the changeover relay combined together to make a simple job pretty tough - not much room. I got the pesky tank out but I'm not struggling...

Exactly Chadr - my Aussie experience is that you need them but may never show them. https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/apply-international-driving-permit-idp . Moggy, sorry but I'm still not getting why the EU is to blame for the UK's decision to leave resulting in IDPs back in...

I agree there's no need for it unless the current Government drives us off the cliff with a no deal. Still, I don't get why you are blaming Europe :think: The UK government introduced this legislation to REQUIRE IDPs in March last year [see point 23] [read it all here -...

Not sure why it's the EU's fault Moggy? The UK is leaving the EU rather than the reverse - and in a no deal, becoming a "third country". As a non-EU country, Aussies technically need an IDP for some European countries e.g. France https://www.aaa.asn.au/international-motoring/driving-overseas/ ...

Requirements for all UK drivers when driving abroad from 29 March 2019 https://www.gov.uk/guidance/prepare-to-drive-in-the-eu-after-brexit Still.....blue passports eh, lads?

Thanks for the replies - I'm just getting the exact post codes so I can pass on via DM for an accurate figure. EDIT - PMs sent. Thanks Flint, I'd read that horror story of the truck but the Agriculture link looks new to me - although it confirms earlier agriculture things I'd read. We are...

I may not need it but I'm keen to avoid salt before putting the truck into the container to Oz later this month. So if the prices aren't silly I am looking for a recommendation for a transporter company [tilt tray may be ok or I may be too heavy, not sure] with the right size vehicle to take my...

Thanks both - checking now.

Chris is right about the media too - pick most reasons the EU are a media target and you can find the actual facts here https://blogs.ec.europa.eu/ECintheUK/euromyths-a-z-index/ . For the Monty Python fans out there "What have the romans ever done for me?" . Well put in your postcode and find...

Mine failed - first noticed this by seeing 19V being applied on one side of the gauge fuse (driver's side fuse panel) leading it to burn out a few times. The guy looking at the truck suggests the 24V has burnt out 4-6 separate circuits as he's seeing earths on the A/C circuit and the aftermarket...

This link shows the original Australian specs as stored by NSW state government.

I'd recommend Dinitrol. Plenty of info on the web - they do a rust converter too.

I agree with Moggy. German/Dutch or UK ports will have the better deals and people on the forum will know contacts. That said try someone like https://www.msc.com/bgr/about-us for a quote at least and then we can help with Northern Europe comparative prices. Container is better than RORO for sure.

Welcome Ahmed - that is some bumper bar. Would love to see some pics of your truck in the countryside - lots of beautiful areas.

Precautions using EZTV are a good thing https://www.engadget.com/2015/05/19/eztv-pirate-site-scammed/

My brother has one in Oz and loves it - others owners love them too. As with some pick-ups, if overloaded, you can break the chassis as per the pic in this thread https://www.exploroz.com/forum/135859/mitsubishi-triton . Search "triton" on that thread for some decent feedback. Little bit more...

Welcome Jamie, I'd also suggest watching this: and reading this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Overlanders-Handbook-Worldwide-Route-Planning/dp/1905864078 [buy a second hand copy]. Enjoy.

NOW you tell me :doh::icon-biggrin: . If you win the bid Andy I'm sure we can work out some way of getting them to you using "land cruiser club post" . Chas is right on the Dobs, my old like was 50mm and it was a nice ride. Alternatively, if you really want them I'm happy to end the sale as I...

Just bumping this thread as it will drop off soon.

Spotted this on Facebook. May be of interest for anyone wanting to kick-start their overlanding from Eastern and Southern Africa. https://www.facebook.com/128084743930829/posts/2244901378915811/

If you ship your own vehicle and stay less than 12 months, plus ship it out, you will be on a carnet so won't need to go through the local registration cost and process. This is a good thing as I'm shipping mine out to live and the 4WD rules for lifts and mods vary State by State. One thing I...

Great stuff. just to clarify, the springs here are new. They were fitted once and removed without driving a metre.

If anybody attending the show on Saturday wants 20 or so 4WDaction DVDs plus a couple from land cruiser club SA let me know and i'll bring them along. Giving them away.

Hi KH, using this page as a guide http://www.smithiesoutback.com.au/ZC7565---RIDEPRO-COIL-SPRING-REAR-50-75MM_p1CB89DBD-4A6D-4852-9885-9C088C10676E.html they are £96-107 pounds a set new so what about £40 for both, although they are naturally heavy so we would have to work out some way of...

That's interesting as I have madman too and the issues I had were poor earthing for the sensors by the installer and if the earth points are not completely fantastic, it can give some erroneous readings e.g. I found the power windows were changing the boost pressure and I was testing it a lot...

Finally for today, I have around 20 4WD Action videos for free. Stumog has first dibs on them but if you are going to the show let me know and if he doesn't want them, I'll hand them over. Feel free to make offers on other stuff in this thread as it is a good opportunity to make a handover at...

Bit of a weird one. I know my condenser is shagged [leaking] but the rest of my system has not been tested so I could feasibly have more issues. I was about to start getting it rebuilt as I have a new condenser and dryer on hold with Simon Holton - but here's the unique issue. I'm prepping the...
