    Just returned from S-adventure Velebit tour that we organized past week. Due to the extremely bad weather forecast, only a small group of enthusiasts that have past experiences with bivouacking in snow covered and bura wind combed mountains of Velebit was gathered. Travelling with one vehicle...

    AC condenser

    So ... preparing our HDJ81 for the next season in Sahara (and incoming Summer in Slovenia), I would like to replace the AC condenser. The old one still holds the pressure, but it's a kind of miracle that it does, judging from its appearance. Toyota stelaership of course offered me an offer I...

    Spotted this in engine bay: Does anyone know what kind of diagnosis does this plug offer? As far as I know (knew) these old machines don't offer OBD of some kind ...

    Velebit mountains (Cro) & around - May 2011

    There are many old roads there, leading to nice and wild places with beautiful views over the Croatian Mediterranean coast. Some of the abandoned connections will soon be passable only by foot. Sometimes there is some work involved to free the way. Some panoramas: One of the aims of the...

    SST subtitution for cam belt tensioner spring - 1HD-T, 1HZ

    I was never comfortable using screwdriver for this job. Always felt there's too much force involved that is hard to control. I do it this way. I run a thin rope or a wire from spring, crossing the side of the chassis and down to the floor. I make a loop into which I can step. With a little...

    Western Sahara - jan & feb 2011 - quick report

    Again a month out there, this time we went exploring the territories that tourists usually don't touch: the inlands of the Western Sahara. Regarding Morocco, the plan was to drive it as quickly as possible, partly because our main focus was souther and partly because we don't like opportunistic...

    Low EGTs ???

    So, I installed an EGT gauge. I did this also on my previous LandCruiser (KZJ95) and it was really a good thing because in that engine (1KZ-TE) you could easily produce EGTs around 850°C and even more if not being careful. It really changed my driving style, esp. uphills. So I did this also on...

    Grab handle ...

    I'm still after the a-pillar grab handle for 80 series. Color and shape as in the picture below, part no. 74610-60010-06. Our local Toyota stealership wants 50 EUR for the part, I guess there is some space for a breaker to offer a competitive price. However breakers seam to prefer money in...

    Turkey, Syria, Jordan - summer 2010 trip

    Another month of LandCruising in the Near East flew past us. As usual it was full of mostly nice experiences and encounters with almost too hospitable locals. Syria was the most surprisingly positive experience as a whole. Some pictures follow ... Beach sand near Silifke, Turkey: Ups ...

    Hello from Vrecha ...

    Hi all, my name is Damjan and I'm from Slovenia. Been following the "other site" for some time and now moved here with the stream. I'm a quiet type of forum inhabitants, don't post much. Partly because of my English, which is - well - basic. Cars? Well, I'm more to the traveling - overlanding...
