Don't listen to the Naysayers. AHC is not a suspension problem. AHC / TEMS is a suspension system that surpasses any conventional suspension system in performance and comfort. The durability of the different parts is normally better than conventional suspension parts. The shocks (or rather...

Here are 2 forum threads for you to read. Might need a couple of days :) to plough thru it all. It's a good start: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/the-abcs-of-ahc-how-to-measure-flush-and-adjust-all-in-one-place.1211999/...

A marvel of a little camper. Looks great, and great photos. That desert pic looks like the truck is at home. Could have been in Sinai. I hope you get many years of good cruising.

:text-worthless: A 40 is the most classy cruiser. Well done getting one, and looking forward to see a superb resto.

2100 rpm at 60 mph sounds right, or maybe a bit low. 1400 at 60 mph would mean a serious up-gearing from stock. https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/high-revs.142477/

Welcome to the forum. That sounds like a great cruiser put to good use. Good job on the gearbox - I suppose it's a manual then... A pic or eight of the old girl would be welcome, both a nice portrait and of your adaptations, modifications and specific use.

Just to give another perspective: ATF cooling is done a few different ways, depending on model, year and market. Some have only the combined radiator which cools the engine coolant as well as the ATF. Some have a modest coil of atf pipe in front of the radiator in addition, before the atf goes...

Haven't looked at TS for a long time now, but iirc you are supposed to get 1HD-FTE. And again iirc, it's the year first, so that -0108 means "up to august 2001 production". And I suppose you have found that there is a difference between current DTCs and stored/historical DTCs.

You can get in an 8" fully inside the opening, like this Alpine I fitted a few years ago: It was a squeeze. They still have them: Universal Head Units and Navigation - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] Might even fit with one of those 9" Freestyle with the separate "button bars", as there is plenty...

Afaik, the book says you have to take it to a diesel specialist and have the injection checked. But I've heard that people change the spill valve without doing anything else. Can someone bring us some real knowledge here?

:text-worthless: Welcome to the forum, btw.

Great 80. Btw, I've always liked reading your forum posts here. Great postings - great humour.
