Got a delivery today:

Thank you! I just ordered some monroe adventure shocks and Suplex springs from roughtrax. I also ordered BJ spacers from AliExpress. Yes, from china. 7 days shipment with DHL. I loose €64 in worst case scenario. :) Fingers crossed!

Ok, thanks. I think i can get a decent lift with a combintation of that kit and a 3cm body lift without stressing the CV and steering components.

Is that the same kit as the one i linked in my previous post? I mean, also without the BJ spacers? Thank you for the FB link. I don't have a FB account but i'll use the one from my girlfried.

It's a Hilux with a trunk instead of a bed, 5 seater and some more luxurious (for that time) interiour. Rest of the hardware is almost exactly the same as the Hilux. But how do i lift that IFS? I need to replace the shocks and coils. The rear is sagging a lot. So why not lifting her at the same...

Indeed. IFS in front with Cools in the back. They sell lift kits without BJ spacers and just heavy duty torsion bars with extended shocks so i'm not sure if i need the spacers at all.

Back from our first 2000km trip with the new old 4runner and it was great. Engine is running fine. No overheating problems, only a little smoke in the alpes (italy) with cold engine at 1800m and 8c outside temp. You can read all about it at toyota-4runner.org forum if you want. So, with the...

Yeah, about that gearing... It's something i not fully understand yet. I know the 3vze and 2lt share the same gearbox (r150f). edit: I think it's 4.56 diff ratio but i need to confirm that.

Ok, it has been a while but i'm back with a new question. A lot has changed since i had this light 4runner truck: - fixed all electrical problems but one (still can't get the back-window down with key) - completely new cooling system/hoses - installed new radiator - removed A/C system (i need...

Like you said, at the hinge on the left drivers door. Spot on. Next thing: transmission. He jumps out of 1st sometimes.

Nop, not the main relay. I found something else... :) And some sloppy wiring from PO. So i spend the morning cutting and soldering wires. The windows work again. I'm happy.

I removed the drivers-side door panel and the wires seem to be ok. But i noticed a 'flickering' in the door-lights (the one under the arm rest) when i open and close the door. This could indicate in faulty wires after all. Also, since yesterday none of the windows work. No power windows in...

I totally forgot this one! The are ton's of topics on the internet about a broken tailgate window and an equally amount of fixes. It's not the wiper, not the switch, not the window lock, not the motor, and no rust on the inside... So i was out of options. Checking now... I hope it's not a...

My new license plates will arrive this week so i can finaly hit the road. My first trip wil be to a small local garage for 4x4 toyota's only. It's still a 40min drive so we'll see how he hold on beyond 70km/u. I called them and they can provide me the parts i need.

Ok, it's been over half a year now but we finally made a decision. I'm not really shure if i can post this here because it's not a 'real' Landcruiser. We bought a 1992 4runner. The good news: he's from Italy and has very minimal rust. No body work needed. And the price. 4runners are cheap...

Ok, we're back to square one... I had a discussion with a few friends and (after a few :beer::beer:) we came to the conclusion that the puchase of the HJ61 is something to postpone until i'm 50 years old. Let's face it, i have no experience with car mechanics, i have no garage/carport to park...

Interesting. A lot of information in one place. Only 3364 visitors :) Thanks for sharing.

That thought crossed my mind. There are probably alot of other cars that are better suited for my requirements and cheaper too but as i said before, i just don't love them like i love the 60. :icon-rolleyes: According to the pictures i see and the information i gathered from the internet (and...

Ok , so the 12H-T it the engine to look for. However, i don't think there are many models to choose from. If i find a decent HJ60 with a 2H, maybe a skilled mechanic can help me add an afthermarket turbo. (edit: i read the 2H doesn't turbo well) What about 3F engine series? They are probably...

Hm, i'm leaning towards a 60. We don't care too much about comfort. Then the next question will be: an FJ or HJ. I understand all F-series are petrol and H-series are diesel? (the 1st letter of the engine-type) Correct me if i'm wrong. So, should i look for a 12H-T or an 3F/ 3F-E? I think more...

The idea of an 80 crossed my mind. They have everything i need but the problem is, and this may sound stupid, i don't love them like i love the 60 or 70 series. :neutral: Everything above 1992 is also just too expensive to drive with because of diesel-taxes... :worried: A good 60 can be found...

I think you're linking to 'cruiserworld.nl'. Funny you mention them :) We already planned a 2 day trip to their garage in Wolvega. We just need to find some spare time in the weekend... True. On every toyota-forum the 2L-T has a very bad reputation because of cilinder head cracks (?) but i...

Hi, this is my first post and since i don't own a LC yet, i 'm not going to use the template. But let me introduce myself first. I'm Arild, 33 years young and i'm from Belgium. English is not my native language so go easy on me :) To keep this story short... We own a SWB Suzuki Vitara 1.6l from...
