Got the Trayon slide-on camper fitted and very impatient for some opportunities to head off into the sunset.

https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Toyota-Landcruiser-2005/SSE-AD-5385781/?Cr=0 Not a 78-series, but the Landcruiser utility (tray) with a slide-on camper is a very popular and comfortable setup for touring. I know the people who put this outfit together and the workmanship and detail...

BREAKING NEWS: CAR CRASHES INTO CEMETERY - THOUSANDS DEAD!

Looks like Trayon are exporting their campers to Europe complete with the tray. I'm sure they have the certification well sorted. https://www.facebook.com/TrayonCampers/posts/1749827148412474

Thanks - cheers!

Thanks - cheers!

Could someone point me towards an online parts list or catalog for my 2010 VDJ 79 single cab? I'm fitting bucket seats to replace the stock seats in the Workmate model, and I understand that I need to get a drivers-side seat belt stalk to fit on the passenger's side. Thanks Chris

Yep. Good to not be in a hurry. But check out the load carrying capacity of the 76. If I can believe the specs on Carsales, the load carrying capacity is only 865 kg. That includes the passengers! Add a bullbar, drawers and a auxiliary battery and you're pretty close to exceeding the legal...

Hi Locky. I bought my 2010 VDJ79 with 200,000 km with the intention of getting at least 10 years out of it. I don’t think I’ll be disappointed. Have a chat with the guys at Berrima Diesel. They have lots of experience with this engine, and they have a series of YouTube videos that talk about...

Hi Jason I run a similar twin battery setup with the two cranking batteries permanently in parallel. With that I can easily run the old Engel fridge for 24-48 hours and have plenty in reserve for starting the vehicle. If I am camping in one spot for a few days I might need to monitor the...

We went that way last winter, driving a 350z. Fun drive.

Hi Paddler Ed - good ideas there. I have an ebay scan tool which seems to connect ok with the VDJ79. I agree they are a useful thing to have along with the number of cars out there with modern electronics. I did love the simplicity of the agricultural electrics on the '91 Patrol. Spare...

Many thanks to all above for your suggestions! My previous vehicle was a well-travelled 1991 Nissan Y60 (GQ to us Aussies). Very capable vehicle in the rough stuff but the motor was under-powered (at least compared to the VDJ!). The 54mm hub nut - luckily I have the one from the kit I had for...

Hi folks I'm pretty new to Toyota ownership, so I'm looking for your suggestions about the essential spare parts and specialised tools I should carry for remote area travel (in Australia). My vehicle is a 2010 VDJ79R - the diesel V8 79 series single-cab with 200,000 km on the clock. I do have...

I had thought these were common throughout the world! Just to show what I am starting with, and my first attempt at posting a photo on this forum: This setup is very popular with tradesman and maintenance workers in this part of the world. Large storage compartments for tools and equipment...

Hi folks Chris here. I've just bought a 2010 Land Cruiser VDJ79R cab-chasssis single cab, with just over 200,000 km on the clock. At the moment it's carrying some big toolboxes, which will soon go to make way for a Trayon camper. Very few mods to date, just fitted my old Warn winch and driving...
