    No electrisity after connecting batteries. (stood on carrage for 2 months)

    Hi Janne, To start off, I have no idea why this could happen. However I find this very strange too. First thing that comes to mind is potentially damage from rodents. Could it be possible that a rat or the like made themselves at home under your bonnet and chewed on your wiring while the car...

    Hzj75 test-drive today.. what to look for?

    +1 for windscreen, they are notorious for rust issues there. If it wasn't dark here, I would send you a pic of my garden ornament 75 series, to give you an idea, under the doors, my drain holes tend to clog up and water can't get out, so check there, Floor pan under the rubber mat if you have...

    Advice on 1HDT engine

    Alright, I finally managed to corner the friendly neighbor and quiz him about my engine. As a retired diesel mechanic, he wasn't too worried about the compression figures. He said the same as chapel gate, since the compression is fairly even through out the engine, it should be fine. Which...

    HZJ75 or HZJ79 for overland camper?

    Does it come with the flashing lights? Check the rear chassis, there are usually square rubber plugs in the frame, if driven in sand, it should be ok, but if they get submerged in sea water, you get salt inside the chassis frame. Which you can’t just hose off. So there is most likely rust inside...

    HZJ75 or HZJ79 for overland camper?

    +1 for the 79 series. Depending how tall you are, the additional leg room is worth the extra cash. I have a 75 series and have driven it from home to Melbourne (1800km one way) many times. I have than purchased a 78 series which has the same seat rails as a 79 and its a massive difference in...

    75 series build.

    Ambitious indeed Make sure you take it easy on the loud pedal, your box might not like it too much, I assume that's what killed mine, and I only put a 1hdt in it. Also watch the axle studs and rear diff. The difference will be massive and it's hard to not put the foot down and listen to the...

    265/65 x 17 Yokohama GO15

    Yep, very good tyre, I am on my third set now. I got just over 100.000km out of the last set. Driving mostly on black stuff and light 4wd. The thing is one need to remember to rotate the every 10.000 km. The biggest bonus of running Yokohama here in AUS is that they give a road hazard...

    Advice on 1HDT engine

    Yes indeed, it has done about 420.000 km, what ever the equivalent in miles is. I sort of thought that consistency in the pressure is a good thing. But my mechanical knowledge is very basic at this point. But that’s about to change I hope .

    Advice on 1HDT engine

    Hi Dervis, that makes sense in regards to the fuel pump, the gear box is the stock standard 5 speed manual, its a 93 HZJ75. I don’t know the box description, but I doubt they made a auto for a ute back then. thanks Jens

    Advice on 1HDT engine

    Thank you for your information so far, The gearbox has a rattle, that's the best way to describe it. If sitting at idle in neutral you can hear it quietly, when putting it in gear and taking off, it almost sounds like there are teeth grinding in all gears except 4th. It runs pretty smooth in...

    Advice on 1HDT engine

    good evening everyone, I would like to get your opinions on a 1HDT that currently bolted in my 75 series, which is serving as a garden ornament at this stage due to gear box issues and old age and all the other thing that make it a project rather than a reliable vehicle. The 1Hdt came out of...
