    Grj76k what's it worth thread

    Hi all, Ive been contemplating a change from the 76 series to a V8 troopy for sometime now but haven't done much about seeing it through for various reasons. One is I don't really know what sort of value to put on the 76 as it has quite a few mods and it's been a proper labour of love over the...

    GRJ76K GVM and Towing Specs

    Hi folks, I've owned my 2015 JDM import 76 series for over four years now and just waiting on delivery of the Toyota chassis and towbar harnesses so I can finally use the square hitch built into my Kaymar rear bar. Trouble is that JDM cars don't have load rating plates on them and I'm seeing...

    GRJ76K Spark Plugs

    Why do Toyota fit odd plugs to the V6 engine? Denso on the right and NJK on the left which i find very strange. I'd read some posts in America that its normal with forerunners etc but something i've never come across before.

    76 series door pods

    I've been wanting a set of these for a while and bought some from cruiser consoles in Australia who shipped these over for me. They take abit of fitting which is more to do with the wiring making sure it looks factory but the quality of these pods is amazing. Only someone familiar with 70...

    Transfer / Gearbox Breathers

    Hi folks, I bought a breather kit for my 2015 76 series and fitted the front and rear diff breather hoses fine but struggling to access the gearbox/transfer connections. I think the factory transfer hose is linked to the gearbox but access looks impossible. How do folk normally fit these kits...

    Mounting spotlamps on bullbar

    Hi folks, Quick question, I was gifted a set of spotties and plan on mounting these onto my AFN bullbar but not sure where. I can mount them in front of the grill if I open up the holes on the bullbar but they will block air flow to the radiator. Or I can mount them on top of the bullbar using...

    Hi folks, Having bother trying to source a Bullbar for the 76 wagon here in the UK. Very jealous of the choice in Oz but difficult to find a company over there that ships to the UK. I fancied the large tube ARB Bullbar but it's not compatible with the factory winch apparently. ( Anyone know...

    Tail light mods

    When my cruiser was imported the place getting it ready for IVA testing stole one of the reverse lights to turn into a fog light which i wasn't happy with but knew it was better than having a light dangling under the bumper. So decided to have a look at the tail lights and noticed a couple of...
