thanks Shayne. Hopping to do some camping in Wales with friends but great to have another spot. Cheers

Heading to Brittany for a few weeks camping and noisying around (may look at some older farmhouse properties) at start of Oct Coming across Rosslare to Fishguard, visit some friends and then down to London and across the channel (ferry - as have LPG) Any touristy places to see, some (remote)...

little bit of cleanup required when you got back

Just managed a 3 hr return trip from camping (Co. Kerry) with soft pedal (had bled all 5 points overnight and kept thinking it may be a bad master brake cylinder) and at end of trip noticed a leak near PS/FR with line towards caliper. Not sure why as its an extended brake hose recently (last...

I'm looking at getting in (via some expats that are returning back to the old sod and piggyback off their container for household goods) either a Manta or a Pacemaker system, including manifold/headers all the way back. Only issue appears down under they don't have dual cats and will need to get...

I spent several weeks doing under chassis mechanic aerobics, derusting, painting and rust proofing on my 97 80 series during Covid period last summer. Glad to see I only had about 5% rust and mostly all just surface related and some elbow grease resolved that. Happy it should all be good for...

Good to see the updates ... thought you got lost down a ravine : (

Nice work on the heat shields

Mexico is great and fantastic food (even if I'm a meat-n-potatoes guy). Found most of C.America too hot and sticky and ending up on the coast which is great. S America is just wonderful with lots of open spaces and scenery.

not hearing a 'knock' but strange the slow-down?

Spotted an Aussie like 80 driving towards Galway, West of Ireland the other day. In my suburban Corolla and not my 80 so not able to chase! Had twin rows of seats and custom cab at back. Similar to twin cab 80 series Any ideas of who?

Clive, I like the side brush guards.

I've the plastic tabs (like Chris indicated) ready to be replaced on mine. I cleared up my drains etc. and also added extra sealant to the plastic but to no avail. Still leaked. For last year I've just tapped up my sunroof so water can't get in. Waiting for dry day in the mood to take down the...

Richard, hows is your LPG running and the Flashlube? I'm considering installing a Flashtube as no 'additive' for last 4 years and running LPG more now. Any way to gauge when needed? Thanks

looks good. What is the alu. metal casing from?

I use ChapelGate, 80breakers, PartSouq, Amayama and some US dealers for parts. Best if you can get outa Aussie (especially if you can get w/o VAT, import taxes)

I've a US 97 petrol, if that helps at any time

couldn't get mine seperated with needle and didn't want to force. Will look to try again at some stage but will pickup a donated Camry or Corolla piece (on the basis one of those trip meters may work

I've an idler pulley to replace, likely this week and will see (once get my dash all back together - due to aerial coax that ain't pulling thru with radio aetenna needing replacing) if thats my issue or if need to did into A/C compressor

352K on mine - 1997

interested in what you get done

looks great, Mike. Awaiting the inside adventure. Whats the top dimensions (ground to top of roof when closed; front of truck bumper to rear and side to side)

nasty

very tidy lookn

fixed up ok and will keep an eye on 'em,

Disagreement on locktite is that Toyota doesn't mention it, but then doesn't mention this part anyways as replacement so no torque specs. Diehards no locktite, others use it just in case On the grease, maybe leakage on oil. Will need to check later

Did 4 hour easy drive on Sat and felt very slight tremor on right turns. No other issues. Thought maybe front bearing on front right was loose again and maybe need to tighten up (had to tighten 5k ir 2 months ago and don't do a lot of driving, no offroad atm) Was due an oil change and some other...

Yet - got it wrong. Here's some pics from camping trip with Jorge/Jessica from https://liveworkwander.com/ Yes - I had the name wrong Heres some pictures from camping in Donegal with Jessica/Jorge https://liveworkwander.com/

I thought it was some sexual act that was performed in your Toyota when you were a Mile above sea level I used to live in Denver : )

I was going to pull the Buy button on a unit on a slow ship from China at $50. If it didn't work could have it as a small foot stool Seems every variation under the sun out there. Lets us know how your works out

Hit me up when you're in Ireland - I'm near Galway

Did 1 year trip a few years back and was way too short. Does yours include USA as well?

Looks good. I'd be interesting in popping up to see it, if you fancy some company!

looks like roof is fitting good per your custom sizing. Higher in general profile than I though but looks good How you doing on the rear door?

was great to see the machine and cabin "in the flesh" the other week. More than eager to see how you progress ; as next in line : ) Like the roof gauge and having cupboard/shelf space there is definitely on my list. Only seen a very small number of folks doing any mods to get a shelf (other...

safe trip

Thanks will take a look

Yep - had that issue but popped off the trim and got a new one. Didn't know sliding it out was an option. Good find
