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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Just a couple of items I've got on ebay from this lot: https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/make-me-an-offer-many-parts-for-sale.150743/ - happy for others to make offers on any of these before I place on ebay...

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/

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...

I'm having a large clear out of kit and essentially, before I put anything on ebay I want to see if anyone here would like anything. Essentially I just want you to PM me an offer and if I like it I will sell to you. Some of the kit is quite heavy or large but I can take it to the Adventure...

Stumbled on this guy’s playlist. Some are very basic and he’s got an interesting presentation style but there is some decent footage in amongst all of them. Worth a look. He could use the views too. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAGJGfo-N70swo4oi03DINAgV7pGYLKkk

Australia now has zero tolerance on asbestos making any sort of import fraught. It seems as though the UK banned most asbestos very early but white asbestos [chrysotile] in 1999 around the time the 100 series appeared. Brakes, brake lining, clutch and gaskets are the areas of concern on classic...

Used condition and in good working order. These guys explain the setup better than I can: I think the guy who removed it may have cut the wires to the front battery so I'm throwing the cables in but you may need new cables for the long run depending on where you put it. Also throwing in the set...

Can anyone suggest a supplier or two for small metal taps for our water system in our truck? Most RV suppliers have huge taps and we are looking for something much smaller, similar to the sorts of taps you get on beverage dispensers but more hardy.

Mad Matt is trying to build his subscriber base on Youtube like a lot of Aussies but unlike a lot of Aussies he's making them about an 80 Series rather than the ubiquitous [Ronny Dahl] 70s or Gavin Gillett's 200 series. The key is that Matt takes requests in his comments for videos so if you...

May be of interest.

My Mazda 3 just had the check engine light come on so I've been looking at the Autel AutoLink AL319 OBD2 Scanner which looks a versatile entry-level device. Does anybody rate it? While looking I found a lot of Bluetooth devices with apps - all look interesting but each with pitfalls. Which ones...

Wondering if people know about Nene apparently going into liquidation? Here's an auction of vehicles - unfortunately no land cruisers. Apparently this company has been formed by the ex-owner. Twisted Automotive are the new importers for Hannibal SA now.

In our back seat area we're constructing buffalo board storage compartments. The lids won't be hinged. The lids also won't overlap like a box lid but will be flush instead. I thought I'd take a look at available fasteners to lock the lids for security and I've been blown away by the styles of...

I'm in the process of working out the best way into my 80 for 240v [for a C-TEK charger when available] and for a solar cable [or two]. How do you all get cables to roofracks and the sides? Pics would be great - if you have them, post them. I have gullwings in the rear quarter but I'm not keen...

Getting a bespoke tank fabricated to fill dead space behind a cargo barrier. Looking at stainless as plastic walls are too thick cutting the litres. I've not played much with fittings before so I'm looking for recommendations on best fittings for the tank. Should I use male or female connectors...

This is a neat US solution for an overlanding table. One downside I can see with it is the thickness is 1.5 inches due to the curved stabilising bar behind the tyre. Does anyone know of similar products in the UK? http://www.tailgatertiretable.com/installation.php

I've removed the rear seats of our truck in readiness to add two leisure batteries in parallel on the rear seat floor in the middle. The associated electrics (CTEK) will be mounted on the rear cargo cage above this. I'll be adding two AGM batteries here but wanted to ask if anyone can recommend...

Not a lot you can add to this review - but if you could what would it be?

I'm looking at getting an item or two from South Africa but the quotes I'll be getting are only airport to airport so I need a partner to clear customs/pay VAT and deliver. Does anyone have recommendations as the two I approached wouldn't deal with individuals. I know they will charge an arm and...

Look at the price on this 40 Series https://www.rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/LF16/London/lots/r121-1973-toyota-fj40-land-cruiser/381810 . I know it isn't quite ebay but I thought it would be of interest. $0s seem to be going up in value. In 20 years our 80s will be priceless...

Has anybody dealt with Roadpro based in Daventry? They have something I'm interested in getting but i've not heard of them before.

Can anyone recommend a place in the UK to buy MOLLE panels of varying sizes like this: There is tons of MOLLE equipment out there but finding larger panels of it is tough. The ebay suppliers just have small panels and odds and ends. In a wider discussion what are your favourite disposal...

Can anyone post a link on where I can buy one of these in the UK? This is from an Aussie website.

Would one of you be able to post, or direct me to, a picture of an installed 2.5m roofrack? If you have one, what are the pros and cons besides the obvious ones like overloading it? Do you have it sticking out over the windscreen or projecting backwards? My current Patriot roofrack is...

Has anybody fitted this console fridge to an 80? http://www.engelaustralia.com.au/products_details.asp?productid=21396. I know it will be a close fit so I'm interested if anyone has actually tried. Aware of the Watch options. It is more about banging into it while driving.

Hope this isn't someone on here : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3529853/Now-s-sticky-situation-Toyota-Land-Cruiser-gets-stuck-mud-trying-cross-estuary-completely-submerged-30-minutes.html

If you change your valve body the kit comes with a supplied transmission pan gasket which works well - it is cork from memory. I need to drop my pan again and I can't find a part number for the 80 series auto box gasket. I found 35168-36010 but it seems to be for the A440 box according to...

PM me with offers for rear upper door glass to fit 80 series VX 1994. I do not think the rear demister works - it may do but I never used it because the window was covered. Also rear quarter siding glasses are for sale but not the rear quarter window frames because the last owner put rivets...

I would like to sell my rear leather seats but am a bit fuzzy on a realistic price for them. I can see in Toyodiy they are more than 1000 euros new. Mine are in very good condition as far as i can tell and I am selling the with some good quality canvas covers [which only need a wash]. I just...

Selling my old Dobinsons shocks and springs. The kit was for a 2 inch lift done by the previous owners. They drove the truck to Cape Town [not back] so the shocks are about 25k miles old. The black marks on the shocks and springs are from a myopic Dinitrol sprayer! The shocks are FRONT SHOCK...

I'm selling an Australian Strongarm dual rear wheel carrier and receiver soon but wanted to offer it here to members first. To fit an 80 series. If you are interested, make me an offer via PM. I will favour members with more than 10 posts [to avoid runarounds]. Here is the manufacturer . I have...

I didn't know this - has anyone tried this out? http://blog.toyota.co.uk/10-things-that-are-free-when-you-own-a-toyota . I asked a Toyota guy if it was indeed true and he replied "We might struggle to have a 73 Corolla bulb in stock, but we can order it." Some of the list is silly but someone...

My rear upper door panel has terminal rust - found after removing PO's coverplate - so i need to source a another. I have asked Karl [no reply as yet] but does anyone else have one? Milners stock one [thanks Chris :thumbup:] so I am just trying to find out if it is OEM or not at the moment...

This is an interesting development for the East African market. A brand new, basic 4wd which comes in at around £6,600. http://www.nation.co.ke/business/Kenya-made-car-goes-on-sale-at-Sh950-000/-/996/2497628/-/159v4fmz/-/index.html

I was speaking to Clyde Tait at http://www.bushlore.com about their current 4wd rentals in Southern Africa. They are really getting a good reputation for great rentals and good service. The even have a model where you can sort of lease a truck from them and they buy it back. Anyway he...

New online mag called Unsealed 4x4 . It's from Pat Callinan who is well known in Oz for his TV and DVDs . You may need to register to see it but the multimedia approach is pretty decent and will get better. You can watch him in action here. Pat is a Patrol man.

Thought I'd like to share a couple of highlights for me at Goodwood this year. There was this: and no, I'm not sniffing it - checking out the rear coils as it was a Land Cruiser 70 Series, which had Prado on the rear door, from Afghanistan. and this: ooooh and this: but besides these...

The diagrams seem to have disappeared from http://www.toyodiy.com/ - would be good for people to post alternative sites they know. I've found diagrams on this one but it has weird ads starting up randomly. https://partsouq.com/en/catalog/toyota/model?catalog=GR&model=LAND+CRUISER Is ToyotaDIY...

This is a neat idea for a rachet spanner http://pmmonline.co.uk/products/wera-tools-uk-joker-combination-ratchet-wrenchesspanners The video in the story explains what it is good for. Has anybody had experience with them and can you suggest a good place to buy them?
