    It's been a while....and now I'm unofficially for sale

    As some of you with long memories will recall we’ve been off trotting around the world in the Hedgehog, our overland 100 Series, for the last 3 years. But we are now changing the way we travel and the 100 is blocking the drive and will be put up for sale on the normal channels in the next weeks...

    Warn Zeon 10s Clutch fail

    Thanks - I’m going to strip the thing out of the truck and move it to my next project so was going to overhaul it in any case. As you say it should be pretty simple to fault find (being electrical engineer by trade helps ) but as you know fault finding is always simpler with the correct...

    Warn Zeon 10s Clutch fail

    The clutch on my Zeon 10s is not engaging - constantly on freespool. The clutch on these is remote/electric. I can hear various solenoids clunking as I switch direction, engage/disengage clutch etc using the WiFi controller. The motor is spinning. Does anyone have the logic diagram or circuit...

    LJ78 Build Thread

    I went over to the guys in the mud and asked whether they wanted to continue going downwards or needed help . He shouted to the other driver to put the recovery strap around the tow ball.....we retreated to a very safe distance. But they did a good pull at the second attempt and he got...

    South Africa 4x4 (with camping eqpt) rental recommendations

    I’ve never used Bushlore before but they get a lot of recommendations. We saw a lot of Britz wagons and a few hertz when we were there. Check that you can take your vehicle over borders etc

    Toyodiy - quick way of checking different variants?

    Yes and no. Finding a truck as we want it is nigh on impossible. For example lockers, additional batteries, storage etc, etc. And whilst this could all be done in country (cheaply) there is the issue of parts delivery and being on top of the mechanics doing the work (and finding the right...

    HiLux - deep technical help

    Yes I could if I knew what the hell I was doing. I started looking at some Russian site that has given a whole bunch of part numbers and some drawings of the extra bits required. It seems to hinge on the engine and model variant that I have and the model variant that I want it to look like - the...

    VDJ79 in landcruisermart

    I don’t intend to as I personally have a drive full of vehicles. There is a ready market for these trucks in Australia. I did toy with the idea of bringing it home but I’ve got lots of projects in 2019 and it would be another distraction. I am happy to assist a UK buyer to ship it home at their...

    VDJ79 in landcruisermart

    hi everyone - our big lap down in Oz is fast approaching and just to say my very nice truck is up for sale. I’ve offered it to the UK gang first as I know how hard it is to get one here (and this truck is still in Oz). Admins - don’t think this breaks any rules but if it does then apols and...

    2010 VDJ79 4.6L TD - thoughts on UK value?

    Do you remember whether those ones 0n ebay were of a high spec, GXL, modded etc or just plain out of the box stuff? You're right about the value of oz cars - I think it must be due to import taxes in the first place. I noticed this in Africa (Zambia) too - out of the box new Troopy well over...

    2010 VDJ79 4.6L TD - thoughts on UK value?

    As some of you may know I've purchased the below specced 79 in Australia for a year long trip there. At the end of the trip I can either: 1 - sell it in Oz or 2 - container it back to UK and sell it here. So thinking a long way ahead my head is turning to would it be worth it for me to ship...
