Why not just turn it off there is a switch to do this when the ignition is on, it will reset to on when you turn the ignition off so will have to use the switch each time, also if you put the factory lockers on it will automatically disable traction control, so i cant see why you would need to...

Are these pics with the original shocks still attached if so that will be the reason

Nice job Mike. I don't think it will last too long the rubber hose I'm thinking will ware through fast but a great temp fix for now and very outside the box thinking Chris

Just a thought have you checked the fuses

Sounds to me like the pump for fluid has proberly got an air lock in it google how to bleed the system

Question was the gearbox slipping before you did the fluid change? If not did you use the correct fluid for the box as in the right viscosity and or mineral, semi synthetic, full synthetic if you used synthetic that could be the problem otherwise you may have to get the gearbox serviced

Welcome peter Sounds like a nice truck put up some pics if you can we really like pics in this forum MC

Hi Massimo Welcome look forward to some pics of tour rig and any work you get done to make her yours Chris

do you have a pic of your truck with bull bar ? Side rails will depend on a few different things, you will need to measure size or pipe used, also length between bulbar and side step.

I'm guessing the Nes ironman springs will be a 2'' lift if so you will need new shocks all round unless the shocks that are on it are already a set for the extra lift, should bring some new life into the old dog feel like a new truck, the mud terrain tyres will make it look good also, a...

Welcome Gon4z welcome and we look forward for some pics soon welcome to the landcruiser community

Welcome Bob wow you have taken on quite a project there pic's along the way would be great look forward to folloing this project of yours Chris

they are tie down points not recovery

I've had no issues with my 79 yet and at 13l/100 with a load is pretty good

Good luck with your cruiser search if this one is it go for it you can't go past a cruiser no matter what the model, just do all the usual checks and be smart about it and you will have a grin from ear to ear, those Toyota adds work lol, Still Feeling It Chris

Welcome Paul and more pics when you lean her up looks nice

I would proberly get the injectors cleaned, that said if nothing is wrong don't fix it old school of thought

Good luck mate I can't find 1 for a 2017 LC79

Welcome to the club Bruce nice drive

Sounds to me like a blown accessory fuse or a wire has been left disconnected and dropped down near the battery I would be checking this first also might be worth lifting the batteries and make sure no wires are trapped

Welcome and you have done a great job the 40 looks fantastic

Use a test light and check which wire lights up only on high beam and that will be the wire you need to tap into

If this happened before the remap and egr, I would be looking at a faulty wheel sensor or maybe a vacume leak somewhere the strange thing is not lights coming on maybe also check you battery and chassis earths

That figure would be fairly close with no load and driving conservatively

Hi David Try haines online they should have what your after found earlier models but Not for mine though good luck MC

Hi guys I am seeking a workshop or repair manual for a 2017 LC 79 series vdj79 dual cab with 4.5 Lt V8 turbo Deisel 5 speed manual GXL, is there such a thing available and from where I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount thanks guys Chris

Welcome Anton, great to have you on board and your English is not so bad, lots of info and help to be had here on anything to do with LC

As far as im aware there is no possible way for diesel to enter the aircon vents, which is why I felt if the vents were open it could just be an extra bit of fuel on startup letting the fumes come in through the vent since its only for a few seconds after starting. Im no mechanic but im no...

Just a thought check your vent is closed and not open for outside air

Nice job mate and your patience is legendary lol glad it all came together as planned sort of lol great job and great write up

Wow mate that is a great looking rig you have built there can't wait to see it finished and a video or its first run, your quite the engineer, and have way more patience than me

Nice looking truck for your money bound to have a few teaching problems look forward to seeing it grow the way you want

Hello and welcome nice drive

Hi Bennyc Sounds like you have some fun times ahead, you shouldn't have too much problem with the wiring, clearly mark the wires from both engine bays and they use the wires you need since your truck didn't come with the imobilizer it shouldn't be a problem just wiring the engine in, as most...

Welcome Myles hope you have many great trips with the cruiser

Australia the land of opportunity

hey mate if you want someone to tag along let me know I work shift work but if I'm free it would be great to tag along

thats great mate have you been out to swanbank at all, its only a very small track no mud usually, but a few tight tracks with a nice uphill rocky rutted track on the way back out, only takes half hour to do the loop, but when your pressed for time its a great way to get a quick fix :)

Nice truck Spiro and welcome

Welcome gorse these guys are a great source of information on anything land cruiser mate and we do like .PIC's

Welcome from AU

Have you managed to get the barrell out ? am interesested in how you went ?

Can you give more details on the lift you have, how high and what is the new gvm, and did you get the upgrade officially certified ? I have heard Toyota doesnt need much of an excuse to not cover warrantee, which is why i have kept mine stock apart from the 35mm lift and 1 size tyre increase...

Have you tried some WD 40 around the barrel and pin that needs pushing in

OK if your not using the truck at the moment disconnect the power wire from alternator that goes to battery and see if it still drains if not will properly be a leaking diode in alternator, if it still drains then at least you have ruled out a fault with alternator, then I would look at any...

It's more than likely just stuffed batteries they don't like sitting around biggest killer of them

Hi Colin More detail would be appreciated as your question is very broard Thanks Chris

Stick with the yuasa I used to work for a battery company here in oz that at the time joined with yuasa and the quality is the best in the world from what I've experienced and heard MC
