I am after a set of cheap wheels for the 80 just so I can mess about addressing vibrations. My current tyres are too noisy and I don’t want to swap tyres around. The most important thing is that the offset is either the same as stock (ET0 - no offset) or are negative offset and stick out. I...

Thought I’d document my repairs here. I’ve known for a while I had a few areas of rust but they took a turn for the worst last year. Truck is now having all rust properly repaired. I am also having the arches clearanced so I can run a wider tyre. Rear lower quarters first.

Off on a 6 month trip in a few weeks and want to carry a spare fusible link. Thought I’d see if anyone had one spare…?

Has anyone got one that I could possibly borrow? Twice I’ve replaced my inner axle seals and twice they’ve leaked within a few months. Definitely a possibility I’m damaging them when installing either them or the axle but I’ve not previously had any issues. I therefore think the axles may be...

Has anyone found a source for the aluminium AC pipes under the bonnet? I need the one that goes across the bulkhead. I am interested in hearing of any straight replacement parts rather than looking into getting one made up.

It absolutely will not budge at all! I actually had two spare steering boxes sat on the shelf. First one I attempted to get the UJ off the steering shaft broke. Yep, actually snapped clean off. Seeing as it is a non-replaceable part that put paid to that. Now on the second gearbox. Pitman is...

I’ve got a full used set (front and rear) and an extra set of unused front Man-e-Fre coil spring spacers for the 80. These will give a 1” lift Used set is in okay condition - one has been very slightly melted on the lip, perhaps by the exhaust. Doesn’t affect fitting or function. Unused front...

Does anyone know what military vehicle these wheels would have been fitted to? They are 16”

Following on from this https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/fabricators-for-a-bespoke-rear-swing-away.151550/page-4 I thought I’d start a separate thread showing the design I ended up with and the build. After much researching of different options/designs, I decided I didn’t want...

The trailer is a Challenger Bundu Basher, made in South Africa. It is essentially a copy of the Venter Bushbaby. As standard mine was the unbraked version with a Tare of approx 500kg (based on Bushbaby specs) and a GVM of 750kg. Unfortunately Challenger have gone bust, so there isn't much info...

I was driving on the motorway with AC on when I suddenly lost my dash, the heating controls, electric windows and the auto wouldn't go into overdrive. Turns out it was a 10 amp fuse - the one marked as 'GAUGE'. But then I opened the bonnet and found melted plastic splattered all over the front...

I've carried this round in the truck for about 3 years but hardly used it. It is perfect for one and adequate for two Includes a 1.5l pot, a 1.75l pot, a 20cm pan and an additional 22cm pan. All pots and pans are in excellent condition with no marks or scratches on the non-stick. The plastic...

Next year we're off in April for 6 months touring through South Eastern Europe. As we'll be travelling with a 4 year old and a large dog, packaging in an 80 is a challenge to say the least. So, I've made a few changes to my setup in preparation for this trip and am currently 'testing' on a...

I’m interested in finding out more about a water tank they offer for the 80 but have had no response to multiple emails. I haven’t tried phoning yet but thought I’d check if anyone knew of them first as I can’t find any recent feedback/reviews on them.... The water tank...

4 years old in very good condition. Works faultlessly. All internal baskets and leads present. See here for full spec https://www.expedition-equipment.com/product/national-luna-50-litre-fridgefreezer-stainless-steel-weekender/ £750. Will need to be collected due to size.

Due to needing to accommodate a child, it is with regret that I am selling my James Baroud Extreme Evo. For detailed info on the tent see here https://www.devon4x4.com/discovery-extreme-roof-tent.html and here...

I have a set of these I don't want https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OEM-Standard-Smoked-Wind-Deflectors-for-TOYOTA-Landcruiser-80-Series-FJ80-01-05/293021043733?hash=item44396a4c15:g:2fYAAOSw~E9cdJul £20 including postage

See here for details https://cofaro.com/uk/barbecue-ferraboli-tornado-rosso Bought last year. It is in good condition. Folds up, has a carry handle and is really quite light weight. Also has a decent size cooking area and the grill has three levels. £30 plus whatever the postage is (via Hermes...

One well used Boab Braai for sale. Do check the pictures out - the braai is about 6 years old, well used and has surface rust in some areas (really is just surface despite how it looks!). Could easily be repainted and brought back to good condition. This is how it looked new...

I need to find a fabricator to work with me to put all my ideas for a rear swing-away into an actual design and then build it for me. Unfortunately there is nothing that I can buy, even with some adaptation, that would meet my needs. So, I thought I'd put it to the forum.... Googling has...

Despite the irritating music this is worth a watch Definitely now on my list of roads to drive

I have a set of rock sliders to fit an 80 that I no longer need. These were originally made by JW to fit the truck I now own but were never fitted. They are designed to fit an 80 auto with a 1" body lift and to be snug up under the sill. To fit them to a manual 80 the front leg position on the...

Bought new in 2016 and used once for 3 days in the dry. It was a trial with my wife and daughter, and we decided ground-tent camping just wasn't for us! It is in as-new condition with all parts present and no damage. I haven't the got any pictures of it pitched so I've put a stock image below...

If anyone lives near me and has an 80 on 35" or ideally 37" tyres that are well balanced, I would like to ask a favour.... I have been chasing a vibration in my driveline for 2 years now. I am absolutely convinced it is a wheel balance issue as opposed to UJs, prop phase, wheel bearing, pinion...

I have a Glind vehicle shower kit that was imported from Australia around 6 years ago. It has never been fitted and is in the original box with all parts. The kit also includes a Flojet 12v pump. The pump has been fitted for 3 weeks and used just twice as a temporary solution for one trip I did...

I have a brand new unused low range gear set from trail gear that I bought in April this year. This replaces a gear in the transfer case to give a 25% reduction in low range gearing. I had intended to fit but now realise that if do not need them as the combination of an auto and being slightly...

Does anyone know of a cargo net that fits right the way across, behind the front seats of an 80? I bought a cheap eBay one but it's junk. I need something that would keep whatever is in the back from coming through in the event of an accident. I'm not worried about it being vehicle specific - I...

Can anyone recommend a company to collect a pallet of tyres and deliver to me? I can find lots online but would prefer to go on a recommendation if possible.

Its about 2 years old and had about 2 months of use. In pretty good overall condition with a few signs of rust on the inside only. Perfect working order. £70 + postage (or I could bring to Lincomb)

Bought about 18 months ago but never used. Never even been out of the box! Around £160 new. I'm asking £120 including postage.

There are a number of LC parts I want to order from the US including coil springs, a gear set, possibly a rear wheel carrier and some other smaller bits. Can anyone advise me of any alternatives to shipping them all individually? Is it more cost effective to sea freight rather than air freight...

A friend of mine is going to look at a Colorado 3.0 diesel. Other than the usual LC stuff like hidden corrosion and checking all the buttons and levers do what they should, are there any particular things to look out for/check when viewing one?

I decided it's time to have a clear out of 80 parts. I am aware that some of it has little/no value and I am happy to give it away (or throw it away if no use to anyone) whereas other stuff is worth a bit. There's no prices as I simply haven't sorted any - if you're interested in anything just...

My transfer is leaking from the input shaft. I know removing the transfer itself isn't difficult, other than the weight of it, but is removing and replacing the input shaft seal an easy enough job? Searching and googling hasn't revealed anything of help and it isn't detailed in the FSM. I don't...

Has anyone removed the ABS from their 80? If so, is there any advice you'd give me before I do it, and have you had any issues with the MOT?

As some of you will know, my transfer box 'broke' back in April, handily whilst I was in Spain https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/help-broken-down-in-spain-think-my-transfer-or-torque-converter-has-let-go.145327/ What exactly broke in the transfer box has remained a mystery, with...

I'm after a full set of wind deflectors for my 80. Not the thin ones, the wide OEM style ones. Ideally clear but would happily have a set of smoke/tint. Not bothered about a few scratches so long as they're not cracked.

My gearbox shifts and works as it should, maintaining approx 80 degrees C in most operating conditions. However, I've noticed that at a constant 70mph it slowly goes up to 110 degrees and will stay there. If I drop back to 60mph the temp will slowly fall back to 80 degrees. It does this...

I was just wondering....... What would be the problem(s), if any, of using the second battery on an 80 as the leisure battery? Aside from the obvious that if it was drained, the truck won't start! If I understand correctly, the second battery only comes into play when starting the truck. At...

I recently replaced the PTO cover gasket on the transfer - cleaned everything up properly, torqued it all up to spec but it's still leaking! It looks like it's coming from one of the lowest bolts. Is there anything I missed, or should have done? Should I take it all apart and use some gasket...

Set of 4 wing bars (2 pairs) for sale. In new, unused condition. I unpacked them, threw away the packaging and mounted them, only to discover my roof tent couldn't be attached to them! So, they're now up for sale minus the packaging. The little rubber inserts that fill the gap where the feet...

A selection of photos from our trip up to the transfer failure. We left Bournemouth on April 3 crossing from Poole to Cherbourg. Rough plan was to shoot down through France and across the North of Spain as quick as possible (allowing for the fact Amy was 6 months pregnant, so we tried to limit...

Right, you couldn't make this up! Any help appreciated to diagnose the issue. Truck is an auto. No warning before, was at a junction and went to pull away, heard a crunch and grinding noise, and lost all drive. If I put the gearbox in P or N the grinding sound goes away. If I put it in any...

Are there any options other than Thule or Rhino Rack? I've got the Thule and don't particularly like the look, and the Rhino Rack are extortionately expensive and don't appear to include anything to justify the price difference over the Thule. I am expecting imminent delivery of my new hard...

I am selling our Howling Moon Roof Tent that we've had for 5 years having bought it from another forum member. Due to having had a lot of use, it is showing signs of age but remains entirely serviceable and can undoubtably give many years more service with a little TLC. The base (which is...
