I got mine from http://m.wowfactormall.com Great value for money and good lights

The LED headlights will require the Canbus resistors or you wont get the current flow on main beam. I did the LED conversion but then found none of the main beam relays would work until the resistors were installed.

Hi Gary, The Awning is a Foxwing as it was the only one I could find with Side Panels for weather protection and privacy. The rack is a home fabricated one sat on roof bars and a couple of extra clamps to the Roof Rails. I did not know how I wanted to evolve the rack so I chose to make one...

You may have a LED bulb fitted and that does not have enough resistance to make the relay flash at the correct speed

You might want to consider a drain cleaner attachment from eBay for your pressure washer. That way you can flush out everything inside the chassis

It is the Hanibal family tent 2m x 2.4m sleeps 4 It can be divided or kept as open space. It is really nice on rest days or bad weather to have the extra space. Cosy with four though.

i dont take my tent off anymore, that way you can use it all year round.

The top tip is to cut off the zip tabs and replace with para cord and that makes the rtt much quieter :)

I have fitted a freeways latitude bumper on mine (NOI4499), the other 120 is an ARB http://www.landcruiserclub.net/forums/showthread.php/47079-A-Lake-Land-jaunt-for-a-90-and-120-twins/

it is more likely to be an oil level issue, these boxes are usually pretty good and typically sealed for life, but do need to have the level and oil condition checked.

it was a european law thing, it was considered that the spare wheel obstructed the opposite light cluster on roundabouts etc. So the main lights had to be lowered to the bumper. The real confusion is when people add the spare wheel door to their cars and dont install the light bumper too!

I have been thinking about this for a while and even bought a Sankey as a project. However, I have to yet work out what advantage the trailer will give me, towing 750kg versus 100kg roof tent. I was in portugal last year and saw some excellent demountable campers designed for offroad and the...

The end bit on the video in post 37 is still my fav lol http://www.landcruiserclub.net/forums/showthread.php/47079-A-Lake-Land-jaunt-for-a-90-and-120-twins/page2 It was probably the most interesting offroading I have done in the UK, and would be happy to go back anytime, also the hotel made...

Regarding gearbox oil... I am told by my Toyota garage that whilst at each service the gearbox oil is examined, if you use Toyota dealerships, essentially it was designed to be a sealed for life unit. However I am like you and would like to change out the oil and filter around the 100k mark...

The centre diff does have a switch, it is on the centre console beside the heated seat switches, and the descent control switch. when engaged you will get a warning light on the instrument panel as it will switch off the vehicle stability control system too. If you do not have rear diff lock...

if you disconnect the batteries you will loose the window references for the one click open and close so you will have to operate each window fully to reset the open closed positions. you will notice that the window switch light flashes until it has been cycled when the power is hooked up...

the funny thing on the underside of the lid is a Japanese tissue box holder, i wondered about that for ages !

I think the freeways one is pretty good, but they are around 40kg of additional weight to the vehicle. But I like the idea of the twin wheel one as the second rack could be adapted for other accessories and uses.

Freeways Lattitude do some too http://www.freewayslattitude.com/barres-laterales/1834-moyeux-de-volant-toyota.html Freeways were cheaper for my front bumper inclusive of shipping from Lyon that I could get in the UK by a long way. These Bars look like an Aussie Pattern I have seen before...

Did you push your centre diff lock button? that will illuminate most of those lamps

If you want paper maps go to www.stanfords.co.uk if they don't have it nobody will for digital maps, I use two iPad apps; maps.me for OSM and MotionX gps for OSM cycle maps which show contours both apps are cheap and allow you to download before you go so there is no expensive data streaming...

It doesn't take much for the injectors compensation valve to go out of spec. and yes you can usually only hear the harsh rattle when cold or start up. I chose to fix mine, as I wanted mine to be right. But its your choice. All the valve does is dump more fuel into the cylinder if it...

PS the Colorado D4D is a slightly different engine, with different injection system operating pressures etc. albeit may share the same denso injectors.

Your asking about two issues really, one: the injector seals fail letting carbon get past the seal and into the oil, this then blocks the oil pick up strainer in the sump and kills the engine. This is circa £250 to change the seals and check the sump. two: injector rattle, this is where the...

I suggest that you research this a little more before you go ahead, my understanding is the d4d does not like veggie oil and will die prematurely. most veggie conversions are aimed at low tech diesels and not these engines.

I see there are a few manuals on eBay relatively cheap and I know you can still get them from Mr T also there are a couple of workshop manuals on amazon that will even cover the petrol. personally i dont respond well to the stamp of a foot, my kids have even given up

depending on the LC, but typically if you have a rear wheel on the door the tail lights are in the bumper, if you have no rear wheel then the tail lights are on the body. This is for legislative reasons and obstruction of lights on roundabouts etc by the rear wheel. If you look at the two...

Saw this on Facebook, how to tow your 80! :wtf:

Try freeways latitude, thats where I got mine and even with European shipping, was much cheaper than anything i could buy in the uk. i am very pleased with the quality too considering nearly 50% less than UK supplied ARB

If you decide to make more, I would be interested to buy a set, or a copy of your drawings? Cheers Andrew

The brakes as you discovered are a combi style, brake pads for the foot brake and brake shoes for the hand brake. at the 6.00 oclock position there is a ratchet adjuster, you need to rotate the disk so the hole is at the 6.00 position and with a screw driver adjust the ratchet to retract or...

I believe the 100 and 120 have the same seats, they might fit the 80 and would possibly have better availability? just a thought

It's too cheap to be the real thing, thats about the price i paid for my 120 old man emu shocks and springs alone.

They are worlds apart, the chassis is significantly stiffer on the 120 and the d4d is more powerful and in my opinion the 120 is much more refined. The 120 is more powerful due to a slightly different engine and injection systems, e.g. The injection pressures are higher on the 120 and cruise...

55-60 on the motorway :shock: Arctic truck fodder....no thanks You you might as well buy a land rover or a mobility scooter you don't deserve all that horsepower ! Come on...

Can you Sunday drivers just get your foot down? 20mpg is a much more manly figure to aim for !:laughing-rolling: Ps stop holding up the traffic, those mobility scooters want past you!

MAN UP ! White wine......:laughing-rolling:

Did I mention I have a bottle of Jura in the back of the truck for this weekends Yorkshire trip?

To quote yourself when I was selling two, about £30 I recall?

Picking whisky is like picking women, all different, all good, well any whisky is better than no whisky, but some are definitely easier to live with than others! I am with Andy C here £500 is very generous, but get a mixed case that will be much more fun than a single bottle, it all comes out...
