    Anyone know Overland Cruisers

    Had a look at the fb land cruiser 80 series UK page and the sellers on there are like "rats in a sack!" :laughing-rolling: :think:

    Engines are overrated

    The software has failed and the hardware is commanded that it's believing "it's being stolen" so the software will shut it down for good! Nothing wrong with the truck... just will not start and run! ....

    Rear aircon block off

    I saw an advertisement for the block off caps just this last weekend for this very same subject.......... they look very handy to shut off a rear system and retain the rest of the front AC.... But caution when buying as the fitting's vary in size and connection..

    How is the steering and do you have wheel bearing issues on the front axle?

    How do I replace my wheel studs easier?

    How does fitting wider heavier axles on it sound to you? You achieve the wider look and you have massive bonus of running heavy duty as opposed to the light duty axles that you have on it. Going from light duty baby cruiser axles to the big bollox HEAVY DUTY HDJ axles will make yer little lj...

    Who is doing what maintenance today?

    It is the earth junction that is bolted to the rear of the cylinder head which it is a tight spot between the bulk head.... It is also a tell tale sign that the engine has been removed previously. :think:

    Hj75 engine swap

    Hi there man and welcome... I have a bj74 that I fitted a 1hdt to using the same 2h h55f gearbox as the one you have. I had to buy a 1hz h55f bell housing and change the input shaft from 2h to 1hz on the gearbox. The input for the 2h is quite a bit shorter so that's the route I took. As the...

    A cheap landcruiser ?

    It was £2250.00 for the latter one. was looking at it for the wiring/modules, but there wasn't enough enough salable parts left on it to recuperate the buying cost! As said before, there could be many of the so called slow sellers still up for sale (cheap for a reason or expensive for the same...

    A cheap landcruiser ?

    Ahh yes indeed, it could be seen as a steal.. but unfortunately the truck itself does have it's security devices locked! The real real cheap ones are orange on the under side with 250 k on the clock, filthy inside with all the body panels dented with numerous outer body trim parts missing...

    A cheap landcruiser ?

    The only way for a land cruiser to be cheap cheap is that the seller is either a bird or has no idea what it's worth! :think: :laughing-rolling::thumbup:

    Iwan's lc5

    Well about to hit the trigger on a replacement ecu with the correct code on it.... There is a peril in my thought's that there is a unfound problem within the truck and the new ecu will come back with the same outcome... So will sync the system via the obd2 port and " see if it will start...
