Hi Gav,
I have a Tembo Tourer rooftent (190x240cm) with full annex for sale - see brochure attached. Bought new in 2019. The tent has had some repairs to the folding mechanism (made stronger) but is otherwise in a good used condition. Mattress is unused as I removed when new. The cover is in...

My experience of both Milner and Roughtrax pattern parts is they are very poor quality next to OEM. No way I’d fit either if reliability/robustness is important. If you mostly road drive I expect they’re fine.
I’m in a similar position. I built a system that worked for what I needed at the time but is now not what I need.
I am just in process of pulling the whole lot out to start again!
Big push over two days to get jobs done. Some I’ve had the parts for 18 months just not got round to it!
Full service - all fluids and filters.
Finally got round to removing ACSD and fitted blanking plate.
Replaced kickdown cable and fitted new solenoids. Both surprisingly easily jobs...
Interestingly there is no torque spec for putting the studs in the hub as they don’t need to be tight. Just a slight pinch up will do. If all is clean and assembled properly they are unable to come loose due to the torque applied to the nut.
Yeh agree proper installation with clean dry threads is the major factor. Loctite is not needed. I installed some of the nut huggers when I did mine for peace of mind.
If you drive off-road regularly, checking these nuts should be one of the regular checks.
I fitted EGT about a year ago, same place in the manifold. I’ve a 3” exhaust but no pump tweaks. My numbers pretty much match. Highest I’ve seen is just under 1500f (~800c). Any climb in top gear with my foot down easily gets above 1300f (704c) usually hitting 1400-1450f (760-787c). These are...
If the Roughtrax one is the same brand as for diesel I’d stay well clear. Mine lasted a year!
Look on eBay for one made by NAPA with a 5 year warranty.
The auto in a 95 80 series diesel is the A442F. This is made by Aisin Warner and used in other non-Toyota models such as Isuzu. The designation for this auto is AW450-43LE.
Solenoids for the AW450-43LE can be had for significantly less than from Toyota and will fit the A442F. See here Solenoid...
My alternator has just started playing up after fitting new 18 months ago. I have the 120amp version from a 100 series, not OEM, it is a pattern part from Roughtrax. I definitely would not buy this brand again.
If you have the original Denso alternator I would just buy a new genuine regulator...
Milner is very cheap for good reason. Symptoms you describe indicate master cylinder. Whether you think OEM quality is overhyped or not, there’s little to match it and definitely not Milner. Fit OEM and be done with it.
I think increased tyre size, suspension lift and rear springs with a heavier load carrying capacity (that negate proper LSPV functioning) are all factors that undermine proper ABS functioning.
I removed the sensors and used plugs as felix2566 mentioned. Had to order from US but didn’t cost much. To pass MOT all visible trace of ABS must be removed and you need to pull the ABS bulb in the dash
Removing ABS and/or LSPV is completely legal when done correctly. Both improve braking, markedly so if running larger tyres. See https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/removing-the-abs.146500/
No affiliation. Just looks like a decent product at a decent price. Well reviewed on ih8mud.

Just ordered one for myself.
As per my previous post I would suggest considering no lift unless you really need it. The Foam Cell Pro shocks are a much better shock than the standard and worth the upgrade. Simply fit with standard height springs instead of 2” lift springs. It is the spring that lifts the vehicle not the...
The 200 is IFS so I would avoid any suspension lift unless absolutely necessary as will impact your front suspension travel. Standard height Foam Cell Pro would likely be a good option for what you describe. As Ben said above, if you don’t need any additional load carrying capacity I would only...
I used this company to rebuild the AC compressor on my 80. Much cheaper than a genuine replacement. My compressor wasn’t listed on the website but gave them the part number and they said yes. Automotive Compressor Repairs Ltd+44 (0)1932 571980 - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]
