After my first experience of camping with a diesel air heater I’ve decided that this is one mod worth making permanent! Waking up in warm air is just next level comfort but my current setup is just too bulky (consuming two wolf boxes) and apparently too noisy for those sensitive light sleeping...

Evening all, up for sale are my trusty Front Runner medium length drawers (840 x 940 x 332), product code SSDR005. Included in the sale are two internal dividers per drawer, wing mounting kit, 4 turnbuckles for securing these to your load bed and 4 tie down rings which are very useful for...

Morning folks, while trying to diagnose a charging issue on my 80 I discovered the DS negative terminal clamp was badly cracked, and needs replacing. I would like to replace this with a clamp that provides additional posts for adding accessories. My questions are: Has anyone replaced the OEM...

Evening all, so I've been searching the web for the best price on ARB dual compressor and have found two model numbers for what look like the exact same unit. The specs and items included with the kit look identical to me but the DA4985 is significantly cheaper (reference links below). Does...

Over the weekend I noticed an unreasonable amount of condensation inside the truck and thought I might be suffering from the dreaded windscreen water leak so naturally decided to looking under the passenger side carpet which revealed enough water in the cable channel to fill a small pool. After...

Toyota are going to develop their own lunar rover... I hope they stick a cruiser badge on it :) https://www.engadget.com/2019/07/17/toyota-jaxa-lunar-rover-timeline/

Looks to be barely used https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153520257407?ul_noapp=true

Evening all, So the missus and I will be heading to Tuscany in August for a wedding and I was hoping someone on the forum might be able to provide some insider tips on epic campsites, hidden gems, offroad tracks or possibly be in the area and up for a chat over a propper cuppa (sri lankan)...

Me: (Sunday) Hey Trev… I think I need an axle rebuild, have you got any time this week to sort that out for me? Trev: Sorry mate.. busy week, maybe next week. Me: That’s a bugger… catching the Eurotunnel on Saturday morning. Trev: let me move some stuff around and we’ll sort it Thursday...

Hello folks, I hope this post finds you well and on the wind down to Christmas. After my unsuccessful attempt to secure an AFN rear bumper earlier this year I thought I’d revisit my options over the Xmas break. After doing some googling last night I came across one or two options I hadn’t seen...

After picking up a National Luna the Engle hardly gets any use. Its got a few dings and scrapes from use as you can see in the photos but nothing that affects its function 230V and 12V leads included. Asking £350 from the forum.

not a great add but might be worth a punt to someone https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263750029098?ul_noapp=true

https://www.deadmanoffroad.com/ Saw this on Ronny Dahl's new video, looks to be an impressive piece of kit, small(ish), light and versatile which in my book is the overlanding trifecta. Anybody packing a deadman as part of their recovery gear? (P.S. to the guys at GCHQ dont panic! this isn't...

Afternoon all, So after losing my lightbar relay to moisture in less than 6 months I decided it would be wise to review my chosen location and try and provide a more protective environment for its replacement and the others to come. At the moment the relay is attached to the drivers side wing...

Hi all, I usually don’t post the mods to my 80 because, well, they usually aren’t very challenging or special and pale in comparison to some of the work described on this forum every day. That said, the old girl has had what I consider to be her first proper mod while in my care with the...

So having spent the last year schlepping to and from the always inconveniently placed camp site water point I decided to invest in a decent used Front Runner water tank. Its a nifty little piece of kit that sits astride the rear foot-well and seems really well built. Now, the simple option...

So I just called up the local mutual to renew my policy... after a lovely chat to confirm the details and a quick check of the premium now that I have one of @Trevor trackers fitted, the chap gets back on the phone to confirm if "you or any other users of the vehicle regularly or infrequently...

Watched this video of a custom new 40 a few times now and it still gives me goosebumps! Now, to check the back of the sofa for $100k! Rosy

now this would look impressive parked on the drive :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-HZJ75-very-rare-specialised-4X4-overland-expedition-camper-/292119199096?hash=item4403a93d78:g:-~EAAOSwxu5ZGpo1

Hi folks, while waiting for my service parts to arrive I thought I'd have a good crawl under the truck and perform some of the other maintenance tasks. While checking over the front axels I noticed BOTH sides we wet to the touch with oil. Is this normal or a sign of bad things to come? The...

Afternoon all, so after a year of tootling about its time to service the 80... and I've decided to give it a go myself, after all, what could go wrong! In preparation I've been looking at parts from roughtrax when I came across this "Service pack" which include all the filters, correct weight...

Looks a little beaten up, but reasonably priced. Worth a punt? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Landcruiser-80-Series-Heavy-Duty-Winch-Bumper-/162281327321?hash=item25c8b88ad9:g:x3gAAOSwKOJYKrrX

Hi there folks, glad to be part of the club after meeting some of you at the adventure overland show. Thanks to Stuart, KB, Karl and the other members whose names escape me now for making Marie and I feel so welcome after we gatecrashed your campsite! I look forward to learning from you all...
