Hi Christopher,
Thanks for the very detailed info you have provided. It certainly gives

Hi Christopher
I would add to your article that if I've read it one year ago I should've
have had much better LC today, but I could benefit from it even today
greatly: now I'm convinced that I should NOT rebuild the gearbox-it won't
help for the 2nd gear...
and many other useful things-great job Chris
cheers

I am all behind here, but Julian has now sent me Monday's digest,
thanks Julian. Not sure if there was one for Tuesday though !
Just to throw some buggerment into the seat configuration. Mine is
like this but minus the rear benches.
Front row - 3 seats (1 driver plus a double seater - but don't put a
lady in the middle seat if you have a manual!).
Second row - 3 seats as usual.
Rear bench on the right hand side - 2 seats.
Rear bench on the left hand side 2 seats.
All have belts.
Total 10.
And don't forget the 4.2 non turbo 1 HZ engine. Odd examples do get
here from Japan.

Hi guys
little bit back to clear the issue:
Who is doing these tweaks(Maartens) and if I fit Walbro pump do I'll need
them again or the walbro compensate it?
and one more:some of you(Christopher or Gareth...) have stainless steel 3''
exhaust-what is the benefit of it if any?
cheers

Hi Lubomir,
Some LC companies will do them for you, but you can do them yourself:
http://www.lcool.org/technical/80_series/1hdft_pump_adj.html
As far as I remember the Walbro shouldn't make a difference - the tweaks are
to improve power before the turbo comes full on to boost, the Walbro is there
to tweak things higher in the rev range.
The bigger exhaust leads to reduce back pressure making it easier for the
turbo to spin up so you get imporoved trottle responce as well as some
performance/economy improvements.

I have a bog-standard machine: no trendy exhaust etc, and totally
standard tyres & suspension. Only mods are to headlights (upgraded
wiring to fit 130w/100w bulbs) and fitting of a manual centre diff-lock

I'm too incompetent / cowardly to attempt injector pump mods!

In theory it shouldn't rust so should last the life of the vehicle
although not always guaranteed.

Hi
Please do remind, that most stainless steel are much 'harder' than
traditional steel, and may hold up to more punishment without bending but
when limit is reached it literally breaks - much like most aluminium but
without initial fractures, it immediately falls apart. For bicyle wheels
this implies, that 'normal' type wheels can be built with stainless spokes,
but race and competition wheels are not, as the stainless steel cannot 'give
in' to the harder punishment - it breaks...
Depending on the amount of crome and other stuff in the stainless steel it
may be more or less prone to surface-stains of rust, much as you now it from
the dishwasher. So no rust is theory... At least in an environment where
other parts do rust, but stainless will of course keep up a lot longer than
anything else comparable...
although not always guaranteed.
Regards..
Henrik

Hi,
I am new to this list and this is an introductory message.
My name is Cedric.
I own a Toyota Landcruiser, model code HZJ105-GCMRS, bought new in 2007, so
manufactured in 2006.
This means it is a straight 6-cylinder diesel engine without turbo. And
also, without electric windows.
But I have other gadgets : factory fitted the vehicle came with a second 55
liter fuel tank, diff locks, and a schnorkel.
The aftermarket options that my supplier has fitted are : a TJM bull bar,
TJM engine protection plate, a deep cycle battery, a third fuel filter
(glass type, for filtering out water), a rear TJM bumper with a spare wheel
carrier, obviously a 2nd spare wheel, a Mul-T-Lock, seat covers.
The aftermarket options that I have fitted are : a Hannibal roofrack, a
Hannibal tent, 2 Hannibal awnings (one on the side, one over the rear), a
Bushwakka drawer and slide, a Bushwakka cooker. For trips, I attach the
National Luna fridge and the 55 liter water tank onto the Bushwakka drawer
and slide.
You can visit our recent Morocco trip (inclusive of a few pictures of the
car) on http://cedricvandermeulen.spaces.live.com/
A final detail : I live with my wife and daughter in Dakar / Senegal. That
is, indeed, not Europe. But it's not too far, if you ask me !
This is our first Landcruiser. We owned a Defender while living in Kenya.
But professionally, I have been involved in LandCruisers for the last 17
years - mainly the 75 and 78 models.
I learned to drive in a BJ-43 when I was 12.
A final detail : I live with my wife and daughter in Dakar / Senegal. That
is, indeed, not Europe. But it's not too far, if you ask me !
Looking forward to it,
Cedric Vandermeulen

Hello Cedric
Welcome. I've been on the list for about a year and have learned a lot
from the collection of characters that you'll come across.
Sounds like a savage machine - basically an 80 series but new. The right
job for Senegal - what are the roads like over there ?
You don't see too many of them over here (Ireland).
Does it have independent front suspension line the other 100 series or
solid axle front suspension of the 80 series?
Any particular reason why you opted for the non-turbo engine?
Cheers
Niall

Well, we were there in August. Drove up through Mauritania and the "Spanish"
Sahara upto Laayoune. Turned East to Smara, where we drove up to Assa (on
the M13 route of the "Sahara Overland" - book - didn't I see your name in
there ?).
the
Tiz'n Test to Marrakech.
Back to the coast (Paradise Valley), to the Plage Blanche, and then the
return to Dakar. Slighty over 3 weeks, slightly over 6.800 km and slightly
over 600 pictures later we were back home.
An excellent mixture of decent asphalt for the fast stretches (to get
there), rocky tracks, sandy bits, classic Sahara and atlas scenery.
And, most importantly : very nice, polite, friendly people. Everywhere we
were greeted with "Feel at home, do as if you're at home". I doubt that any
Moroccon heard these words upon arrival in Europe. Even the police
apologises when they check your papers.

Hi Neil,
Basically, I opted for the "rough" version of the 100 because this is
something that I can maintain myself. I believe that with a turbo one needs
proper and regular oil changes (at least in these dusty conditions). Quality
oil is not always available.
It has a solid axle in the front - just what you need.
Toyota made these cars - with this engine and suspension, and with this lack
of luxury - specifically for these sort of markets. They have never been
sold in Europe and are difficult (if not impossible) to import due to
exhaust emission regulations (in order to make it Euro-3 compliable one
needs to invest a few bucks !).
So yes, this is an 80 in a "newer" body - or a 75 / 78 drive train and
engine under a 4-door body.
I doubted between a 78 and a 105, but I made a deal with my wife to go
through a democratic decision-making process : I was allowed to choose the
brand, she was allowed to choose the model (a choice between 2 models !). I
personally prefer the 78, but as this is her daily driver to drop the
daughter to school, I understand that a set of second doors is a practical
thing to have. Not to mention that the 105 is a bit more comfortable thanks
to the suspension.
The main roads here in Senegal are quite OK - but otherwise, you make it as
rough as you want : driving along the coast to St-Louis (up north) is in the
pipeline for one of the coming weekends.
Ireland ? Mmh, sounds good, I enjoyed Galway for 2 nights on a business trip
a few years ago. Great spirits.

Hi,
The rear suspension look a bit under strain, is that normal once you have it
loaded up for over landing?
Has it got gas suspension on those?

No gas suspension unfortunately
Yes, I would like to get something stiffer for the rear, specifically with
the steel TJM bumper, the 2nd spare wheel & tyre, with 155 liters of diesel,
80 liters of water and the usual camping gear etc there is a bit too much
stress on the rear.
Anything you can recommend ?
