If you google search the part number, you might get some other sellers. Toyota Uk might still sell them. Or you can get springs reconditioned/remade in the UK. Hope that helps

Contact Kingstown Shipping. They will be able to advise you. I have used them for years

That looks great, perfect colour for Southern Africa. As you say, very close to the patient of the new LC250. I have a 40 series that needs returned to its original Olive Green (baby poop brown) but it's not my favourite shade! Definitely brown not green - maybe the Toyota paint guy was colour...

Luckily I've never had to deal with the glow in mine but I did have issues with a 1988 2H, so did a bit of reading. It had a Superglow system that was overheating. The Superglow glows when you turn the key and then has a secondary glow when the engine is running until it warms up. All this is...

Cheers @Gr8Yota . I did a search when I saw them and wondered how wide they were. I need something like that. Mine looks like it's been off-roading every time you drive through a puddle!!

What are the rubber wheel arch extensions that you have? Any good? Are they screwed on or just stuck?

That's an awesome looking 70. Hard to find these days. There are some great Cruiserheads in CA, that I'm sure will help you. I think Rob Tygart recently registered an Aussie 40 series troopy. If you are not a member of TLCA, I would recommend joining

I would recommend asking this question on iH8mud or on the TLCA Facebook page. I know California is a tricky place to register diesels. Also I think you should post some photos!!:)

You could also try the Landcruiser Restoration Company in Belgium www.lrc.eu They have a big stock of old parts, mostly 40 series but may have 70 series too

Looks fantastic :sunglasses:

Looks tidy. I don't think you can get OEM suspension any more so it might be better to leave it. @AndycruiserguyLomas might have some? Terrain Tamer are also a possibility. HJ61 are great cars. Easily keep up with modern traffic

Good effort. Hope you have a cushion and some earplugs :icon-biggrin:

@Volly That table is interesting. I am about to get a 2011 1HZ. According to that table it will be Euro 5!! I am starting to do my research for the trip to Buschtaxi Treffen and I don't want to get caught out.

That's a great effort. Much appreciated

Great. Where are you coming from?
