Hey Guys, I'm going to making myself another winch bumper soon, would anyone ben interested in a DIY weld together kit? (I've posted this on Facebook and seems to have generated one interest, hence I thought I'd check in here). Bumper construction is a combination of 4mm, 6mm & 8mm Mild...

Hey Guys, I'm posting up a few Polls to help me ascertain which products to focus my attention on. (EDIT: I can only post ten options per poll so this thread will be duplicated for the 100 series and 90 series land cruisers) So as I have mentioned on a few threads, I'm finally in a position...

Hey Guys, As some of you will know I took over a metal fabrication a couple of years ago and have been threatening to start producing accessories for Landcruiser's. Covid, Business, Race car build, beautiful baby girl and all that has held up any progression on this front. I have once race...

Hey Guys, Very much as the title says. I took over a metal fabrication company earlier this year, based in Welwyn Garden City, with two other partners. We are all nuts about all things 4x4, off-road and overlanding. Two of us are Landcruiser nuts (both have been members on here for quite some...

As the title says, anyone know of radiator caps failing? My 80 overheated on Sunday. I opened up the bonnet and saw dried up coolant all around the radiator cap. There were no signs of coolant leaking from anywhere else. The radiator cap wasn't letting the system overflow into the overflow...

Hey guys, Ran into an odd issue whilst out in the 80 yesterday. The volt gauge on the dash started bouncing up to the thin line just under the 18v line. The red charge light came on too. The bounce coincided with me hitting around 1800-2000rpm. I figure the voltage regulator on the...

Hey Guys, would there be any interest in the UK for a FJ62 (Petrol) Landcruiser? I have a friend selling one in Namiba and thought if it was worth it to import it and sell it here. What do you guys think? This is a pic of it... Let me know cheers

Hey Guys, In the last 3-4 months my 80 has developed a shimmy of sorts. It happens under very specific conditions and is easily repeatable. My observations are: 1. When I'm on the brakes, slowing from any speed over 40mph, when I get down to 40mph a shimmy developes in the steering wheel...

So I bought this on a whim and just took delivery of it. The plan is to build it up to compete in the 2017 Ultra4 Europe series - http://ultra4europe.com It's a little rough to say the least bit rough plans are: 1. Chop the rear end into a tray back 2. 1UZFE V8 3. 14" Coil overs 4. Hydro...

Had a great weekend out in Wales. Did a few lanes en route from Cardiff to the start of Strata where we camped on Strata Friday Night. Then on Saturday we circled back to do a lane around Claerwen Reservoir. From there beelined up to Machynelleth to the "bastard lane" which was good fun. We did...

Hey Guys, I recently read up on Bala Forest in Wales. Looks pretty cool. On their website they say they will open the site for clubs if a min of four vehicles attend @ £30/vehicle. I'm not sure about camping and all that but thought I'd gauge interest first. If enough (three others...) are...

Hey Guys, I usually run on LPG but I haven't gotten around to filling up lately and have been running on petrol. I filled up the other day and calculated I achieved 9.87mpg. This is 90% town driving. Now bear in mind I usually get that closer to 12mpg in petrol when just driving around town...

Hey Guys, I have recently picked up a new set of tyres and steel wheels for my 80 series. Now I know I need to use different lug nuts on the steel wheel to what is used on the standard alloys. I know the size is M12 x 1.5. What I am unsure of is the type of nut I need to buy, I am thinking...

I have been on the lookout for a set of 37" KM2's for my 80. Just ordered a set of 5 from these guys at £150 each, considering I paid £180 a tyre (285/75/16 KM2) 4 years ago, this seems dirt cheap. http://www.oponeo.co.uk/tyre-details/bfgoodrich-mud-terrain-t-a-km2-37x12-50-r17-124-q#80186210...

Hey guys, I'm making space in my shed for a small mill so I have no need or space for my drill press. It's only a little Clarke one. Does what it says on the tin. It is located in North London (N21) to anyone that wants it.

Hi Guys, I need help sourcing a new set of corner lamps for this SWB70 cruiser. Any ideas where I could find a new set of these in the UK, also if anyone has a part number that would help too. Or if someone could pm me their VIN I could look it up on toyodiy. Cheers Ryan

Hey Guys, I think my cruiser is sulking because I haven't been out playing for so long. The brakes seem to have died this morning. I had to winch a vehicle up a car park ramp on site this morning, long story, to get it out of the car park. I had one of my guys in the cruiser keeping the revs...

Hey Guys, As the title says, I'm looking for a few written valuations from car dealers for my 80 (I need to include the VIN on the valuation). I need this for the import permits required to send it back to South Africa. So if there is anyone here that can help please let me know...

Hey guys, My 80 has developed an odd vibration. It is most noticeable when the motor is under load. If I back off the pedal and coast it near enough disappears but I think I can still feel a very faint vibration through the steering wheel. I have checked all the tyres. I found the front PS...

Hey guys, I'm heading to Dubai for Easter. If anyone is after parts I may be able to bring back a few bits and bobs. They need to be fairly light and fit in a suitcase. PM me if you are after anything and I'll find out prices. Ryan Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I am going to be in the loch Tay / Pitlochry area over Christmas. Any opportunities for a bit of offroading that anybody knows of while I am up there? I have read about highland safaris so I presume there are some routes/ trails... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

So I have my winch fitted and had it wired up directly to the battery temporarily so I could get the rope wound on. On Sunday I thought I'd finish off the wiring and mount the isolator supplied. The plan was to mount to isolator in that gap in front of the battery. I cut a small section of...

Hey guys, After the last lincomb I have come to the conclusion that I really need a winch. I know there was a group buy at the beginning of the year and it looked like the guys who bought got a pretty good deal. Anyone interested in another group buy? Ryan Sent from my iPad using...

I know this has been posted before, but for any of you that might not know of them. The CT4WD videos on youtube and Vimeo are awesome. I have been going through a few of their 2012 ones lately... -V8Y5X_JuqM?hd=1 Enjoy!

I just noticed the service manuals tab above. Does that mean we can upload manuals for other to download? I have a fair bit for the 80's and 70's. Would be a great resource if everyone could upload what they have, no? Just a thought...

I just got back from a 2 week road trip in the US. I wont bore with the details of my trip but there is one thing that if any of you find yourselves in Vegas you have to do - Drive one of these: It's basically a 2wd Rear engine truggy with a 4.0 V6, Dual shocks per wheel (King coil over and a...

Hey Guys, I'm gearing up to progress my Fox/Slinky install a bit further this weekend. This weekends mission is to fit a set of coil spacers and drop the bump stops. I am going to be fabbing up my own drop blocks. What I need help with is identifying what pitch; diameter and length the...

A couple of weekends ago I replaced all the seals and bearings on the rear axle, I had some dire looking soup in the diff so this was well over due. Installed new shocks and coils at the same time. All went pretty smooth. Roll on front Axle, soup was even worse... All was going swimmingly...

Right, So after having a set of custom valved 12" Fox 2.0 Remote reservior shocks sitting in my shed gathering dust for the best part of six months, I'm finally on a position to start getting these bad boys fitted along with the Slinky's I ordered from Overlandcruisers. Now just to clear up...

Does anyone on here have the SST to remove the locknut on the rear axle of an 80 series that I can rent or borrow for a weekend? Axle rebuild is looming this coming weekend and I'd rather not grind up my 54mm socket for a one off service (well every few years or so)... Obviously I'd pay for...
