Unfortunately not Toyota. My previous set were OEM but I could not find anywhere to buy genuine. I bought these off eBay - pretty sure they’re the same as the ones below. Fit is okay - I had to trim a small bit that hit the door mirrors on each side. For me they’re good enough as it allows to...

Start adding pinstripes! Planning for Greece, Bulgaria and Romania in 2027…. Fancy joining us?

First pic of finished job. I’ll get a few more soon. Overall I’m very pleased.

PM sent. Much appreciated :thumbup:

That would be amazing if you do Andy

Has anyone got a set of third row seat brackets I could buy….? These

Napa alternator can be had from eBay with 3-5 year warranty depending on the seller. They tend to be well reviewed and are half the price of a genuine new.

On mine the whole snorkel had to be removed to get the bracket off! So unfortunately, not as easy as it could be.

I’ve been down this route. I looked prices everywhere, amayama etc and it was all ridiculous. No way it’s that special!

Just checked on Safari website and 60 bracket is unfortunately completely different.

Thank you for the offer. I should be able to see if the part numbers are the same on Safari website…. If not, I’ll get the measurements and post up. Be interesting to see if they are the same.

Yeh I suspect this is what I’ll have to do if I can’t borrow an 80 one. You’re right templating the flat shape and holes isn’t hard. Getting the angle correct will be a pain.

Has anyone got an unfitted safari snorkel for an 80 that I could borrow the pillar bracket to make a copy? This bit I removed my snorkel when the truck was being sprayed and have somehow lost the bracket! I am more than willing to pay for the privilege of just borrowing the bracket and...

I look forward to your build. One of these is in my future at some point….

Fitting the new pipes is a super easy job. I would suggest fitting them yourself then simply booking a re-gas which any AC place will do.

I love that front axle. I have been looking at an adaptor that allows the H233 high pinion Patrol differential to be fitted in the 80 axle. Uses an ARB locker with 80 series side gears to work with the 80 axles. My biggest concern was knowing who could do the work for me but that company looks...

Yep, this. Baseline service is more important than any mods. Much more than just oil and filters. Consider front axle rebuild, all suspension bushings, check UJs, check cooling system, all new belts and hoses etc….

I will follow this with interest. Is exactly what I would like to do. Wink4x4 do a kit for matching the 8HP to the FTE. Probably the best diesel engine and auto transmission combo you can put in an 80.

If the canvas itself is leaking I would suggest requesting the spec of the canvas used. Either way, if the seams are sealed as you say, it may be possible to completely resolve the issue with a proper canvas waterproofing treatment.

I would second Gr8Yota. Definitely seal the seams and treat the fabric and check again. What fabric did they use and what is the hydrostatic head?

Yeh, I get the same. I either get no results or just the most recent. Search won’t locate any of my older posts

Hi Luis, I had same issue. The aluminium ac pipe had become porous. I sent my pipe to these guys and they repaired it. I asked for the porous section to be cut out and replaced with flexible hose to make refitting easier. If needed they can replace the entire pipe with hose, just using the pipe...

I wouldn’t assume you’ve got a problem that needs fixing until you’ve checked and verified what the temperature is doing. My suggestion would be to fit an aftermarket coolant temp gauge. Drive for a bit and get some good data on your temps. That’ll tell you if have a problem that needs looking...

Also worth a search for solenoids for AW450-43LE. They are the same and often found cheaper.

Just Hammerite Kurust. I think all converters are pretty much the same thing!

Whilst I had it off the truck, I have taken the opportunity to spruce up the ARB. It is not in great shape with some significant rust in the side quarters, so I cleaned it all up, used rust converter and it’s had 8-10 coats of Hammerite satin black. Again, not great, but a 100 times better than...

Respray prep is now in progress. I’m only having an ‘economy’ job and not having the whole truck done for a few reasons. Firstly is cost, I simply can’t afford a full respray or a high quality job. Secondly, the main thing I am looking to achieve is rust prevention. I am therefore having only...

Depends how quick you mean. If I was doing mine again I’d get these High Strength Knuckle Stud kit - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

That part is less then £30 delivered from Amayama. Genuine Toyota. Dealer prices simply aren’t worth bothering with.

Straight through with no advisories. Getting good at this

Yeh ladders and extensions for a high vehicle come with the tent.

Albania

Yeh 1.9 would be pretty snug for 4. Was perfect for the 3 of us. I would take £800.

Hi Gav, I have a Tembo Tourer rooftent (190x240cm) with full annex for sale - see brochure attached. Bought new in 2019. The tent has had some repairs to the folding mechanism (made stronger) but is otherwise in a good used condition. Mattress is unused as I removed when new. The cover is in...

My experience of both Milner and Roughtrax pattern parts is they are very poor quality next to OEM. No way I’d fit either if reliability/robustness is important. If you mostly road drive I expect they’re fine.

Hi Gary, I’d be happy to pay for postage

I’m in a similar position. I built a system that worked for what I needed at the time but is now not what I need. I am just in process of pulling the whole lot out to start again!
