    New Radio and Speaker mounts

    I finished the installation of a Retrosound radio along with some homemade speaker panels/mounts. Also, generally tidy things up over winter along with installing a new choke cable as I don't think they made them in the country the FJ40 came from!!

    Importing Landcruiser

    That's exact what they said or the one about having a Hiab. I was thinking the container is a better idea but maybe roll-on/roll-off is?? Think I'll have to go to a one stop shop to get it done!

    Importing Landcruiser

    Thanks, yep the NoVA and HRMC stuff doesn't look that straight forward and is an inspection always required? I'm thinking about using a car importer service, like shipmycar.com, see if it works out!! Think they can unload. Other thing is the cars fluids have all be drained and I'm worried...

    Folks, looking to an import a 78 FJ40, so over 40 years old. Would I be able to drive it away from the port, or would I need to get it transported home?

    End of diesel overland travelling in Europe.

    Obviously a bit slow on the whole ULEZ expansion and living in Bromley, what a massive PIA, need to seriously think about the LC, it’s a 94 so would need to keep it for another 9 years to get classic car status. Or think about selling it, or just pay the money every time I time it off the drive!!!

    1FZ gasser vs diesel

    With a JDM FZJ80, you should get the fridge in between the front seats and rear air con as well, plus grab handle for passenger. I would go with OBD-II variant so post 94, then you can strap on a turbo (if you can find one) with little modifications but also opens other options, a supercharger...

    Stainless steel shelf

    I like the shelf, but I have diy myself, the one thing I would change on the above design, is to have the front hinged, so folks in the back seat can also access stuff, I use it to store coats etc, and I would like a hinged front panel
