Sorry to hear, and condolences. Knowing that our handshake at Stratton Arms would be the last, it struck me that his attitude towards the situation was particularly considerate of those around him. He shall be missed.

Hey Raj. I feel a certain kinship between us with our approach to tooling and jobs. Game changer for me was a Worx Impact wrench (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N6KPEL2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for both undoing things - upto 300Nm! - and retightening (lowest...

You'd not spend all that effort recently welding plus all those new parts to then give up and sell it on if the issues were so easily surmountable.

Longer term speculation here: go with the best or rarest bodywork version. I did up my 97 GX on the basis that in a decade or so the tidy examples will be highly coveted for EV conversions. Providing the crank pulley with EV and leaving the gearbox in place would leave the rest of the car's...

We do - it's here Recommend a Seller or Buyer - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Bexhill Gearboxes near Hastings were recommended to me to strip and rebuild my rear diff and transfer case, which they did diligently and promptly. This fixed the issues created by another garage in the Shame section.

Some here could come with you but they may need to be heavily disguised.

I have used Westcoast 4x4 before, which is up in Blackpool. I once had the car collected from London - ask them about that - then it's a case of a single train journey and bus to collect it once done.

Indeed, if the garage is lying to you about all being well then the whole premise it is out of the window. Hence recommendations, or shames, in my opinion are necessary. But I'd be surprised if a garage ignored the glitter when they could use that to justify the immediate upsell of much more...

Well for what it's worth I took my unfinished job to Bexhill Gearboxes in Hastings (as recommended on this forum). Correct fluids supplied by me. Everything now works: 2nd is smooth again, no more grumbling noises, and the rear diff works. As a different perspective I do get the argument for...

So I initially stuck it to the inside top brake light, but that angle didnt help me see the bumper which is what I wanted for tight parking - but it would show you generally what objects were behind you. I settled above the number plate. In terms of avoiding drilling, I ran the wire along the...

The chap who emptied it made a point of this also. It is a mystery. As the axle was replaced it is possible it was filled at a different orientation before being fitted? Either way it has the correct amount now.

Lovely seeing y'all and thanks for the lovely hospitality and friendly (re)welcome! I'll not leave it a decade again :relaxed:

Yup you can see it in my invoice, few pages back. In the middle £430 quid for something that costs ~£130:

Prizes for anyone being able to tell me why a swivel kit cost £430+vat (516) in parts alone. Terrain Tamer Swivel Housing Kit suitable for Landcruiser 76 78 79 80 105 SH5 - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Is this a joke chaps? I'm still having to fuck about trying to fix the problems RH caused me. The last diff place took over 4 litres of oil out the axle, so overfilled it was past the filler. Really great that some of you like them, as far as I'm concerned they've done me out of 13k, lied to my...

I too will be camping!

Is there a plan for the weekend? I'm looking at arriving mid afternoon Saturday unless there's something going on earlier in the day - hence the question.

I noticed that mobile phones left in my car upset my 80's alarm; I suspect the 'ni ni ni' interference noise that you get on the radio just before a call comes through is also what the alarm wiring 'hears' and mistakes for glass breaking. Have you put any new devices in the car? I can put my...

I tip ex the mileage and date of when a component was installed onto the item itself.

Is there a way to visually identify this later Amazon 'box without opening it? Mine was not the same after it came back from the garage... could get 2nd gear all day long before and now it's very difficult.

As someone with one in similar order, that's annoyingly cheap haha

Well that's news, thanks for the heads up @Chris I'll have a read up on the issues.

There was a 70 series pickup a certain shower of c*nts had up on their instagram, where a director was boasting about how he/she/it/they/ze knocked the client £90k for...

Fascinating isn't it. Someone's taken a picture, looked at it, gone "yeah good enough", and went ahead with the advert - and that's just the wonky number-plate, let alone the tent! So slapdash, I would infer it speaks volumes for their operation as a whole...

There is a vendor in Epping, they've had stock for ages so might be open to the suggestion? Also arguably cheap enough to just buy one...! https://venturarooftents.com/

Advice taken chaps, new one fitted. For reference two pdfs here help convince the fitter that an adhesive on the seal is necessary: FJ80 Front windshield glass replacement ? - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Congratulations on needing more than two seats now!

Hi folks Looking for a non-torn driver's belt in blue grey B0 for a 97 Amazon 80. Thanks Martin

Hi folks Might anyone have a windscreen with Blue tint for a 97 Amazon 80, that is not cracked etc and would pass an MOT. Thanks Martin

Bespoke build by Watling Engineering. Build comprised of a heavier rack, and towbar upgraded for the task that additionally attaches to the four bolts of the rear cross-member. My 640 Adventure is about 195kg fully wet; I'd not take the 990 Adventure very far as there is visible flex - around...

@Shayne so what I'm curious is the colour of the lens. I think if you did as you suggest one might see a bit of orange if the bulb was that colour, but the light would otherwise look white, unless one got the lx450 item. The orange appears to be reflector only, so it would still produce white...

Hmmn. What is precluding swapping the lower front indicators to be white lenses and using them as sidelights, and using the orange units as indicators...

I quite like the touch of the orange seen on US trucks. Are these not UK spec due to a particular reason? I've never seen them for sale on this side of the Atlantic.

Indeed! Much like the time I threw my only pair of car keys into the council recycling on Sunday Christmas Eve. I vagely recall the 1997 Amazon 80 being particularly resilient to immobilisation defeat over earlier models, using a heavily armoured component... I created a thread seeking help to...

Yes it does seem a one time removal...! Good suggestion on the fur clips... I'd worry though that they might not be up to spec if there was an engine fire, and didn't release the insulation (or do, when it shouldn't?). Either way going OEM is a small price for peace of my overthinking mind :)...

Correction: driver's side wanted please! @AndycruiserguyLomas if you have that side too?

I'd think that parking in gear somewhat prevents a tow away if a manual trans, given the 4x4? The handbrake alone would lock just the rears and that's a cable snip from being defeated? So someone would need to drag the car / lift it away which as you suggest is the ultimate method but pretty...

Though this would allow the truck to be towed away, even if otherwise left in 1st, correct?

I have a BlackVue 900X front and rear with a 400GB card. I've caught a few howlers with it! Not much use at night for plate reading but not many of them are. It picks up the house wifi so I can look out from the car and check the location whilst I'm elsewhere, will tether to my mobile when...

Ah you are a star. At this rate I'll have more of your truck driving around than mine

@Bmonck I still have my original; there is a chap on ebay selling a bonnet that would have one Toyota Landcruiser VX80 1992-2007 Front Bonnet Unit Complete +Struts Hold-up | eBay - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] he won't split it though, I've already asked ;)

Hi, if anyone has the passenger side wing moulding stating "GX" for sale, please let me know. Thanks
