    My old 81 has appeared on the Jumble

    I used to own this, sold it about 5 years ago, it was a very tidy one with almost no rust & all the jobs done too, eg BEB's, CV's etc. It's cheap as well! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-VX80-Limited/183198173636?hash=item2aa77649c4:g:f5sAAOSwuWJaykAO

    Front hub grease port mod

    Found a neat way to stop the hubs filling with water so readily when wading & or keeping them nicely greased up. On the inside front of each hub knuckle is a square threaded bung, simply remove, drill & tap them & screw in some grease port zirks. Might take a good few squirts to get them full...

    Fuel Pump Mods - I now all about them

    I found some rust!!!!!!! on my JDM 80

    I hate rust, full stop can't stand the stuff. Hence my inane inability to buy UK cars & why I always choose JDM cars if I can find them.
