I found this really interesting build thread recently that I've been really enjoying reading. :icon-biggrin: I'm not into vans at all, but its really well written and some of the techniques hes using are very interesting! :clap...

I spotted this the other day. So I went and bought it for $2500, unregistered with no road worthy certificate, minus the plastic plumbing pipe snorkel and cheap Chinese winch. :dance: As it has the 2lt 2.4 turbo diesel slug of an engine fitted that is prone to cracking...

I'm not sure which market their destined for, but their right hand drive, so I'm thinking South Africa. :icon-biggrin:

Long live the mighty 70! :clap: https://www.mr4x4.com.au/2017-landcruiser-70-series-7-things-love-1-hate/ Maybe once the UK has finally left the EU, Toyota might be allowed to sell them over there, especially now they have scored an ANCAP 5 rating and Euro 5 emissions. :think...

Work is progressing well on my 1985 soft top RJ70 and rather than continuing to document it in my LJ70 Build Thread, I've decided it should have its own thread and unlike the other thread I'm hoping to keep this as just a build thread! :icon-biggrin: The soft top 70 is the last of the...

What do you get when you cross a VDJ70 series and a Hi-ace van? :shifty: This............................................

After 30 continuous years of production, it was looking very much like Toyota were about to kill off their mighty 70 series. But its now looking like that isnt the case! :dance: And with massive investment bringing the vehicle up to Ancap 5 safety standards and the engine up to Euro 5...

While researching the Lexus/Toyota V8 engine that I'm thinking of fitting in my RJ70 project I discovered Toyota have been making and selling a V12 engine for the past 9 years, but its only sold in their Century limousine models. :cool: It wouldn't fit in my 70 but I'm sure it could be...

This is a great project by Slee Off Road. :clap: They are definitely a company I plan on visiting when I make it over there as they have some really interesting LandCruisers and sell some awesome products! :icon-cool...

I like the look of Terrain Tamers new progressive coils and had I not just replaced all my suspension for Dobinsons I would most likely be going with Terrain Tamer. tunEFrUpdPE We use a lot of Terrain Tamer products at work and I've always been very impressed with the quality and price of...

Just a heads up that sadly Black Widow might not be around for much longer. :thumbdown: They've closed one of their 2 shops and things really arnt looking good, which is a huge shame as they make some really good quality products. Apparently they started supplying Ironman unbranded drawer...

Stonehenge and the pyramids were built, using simple levers and stones to move huge slabs of stone? :think: I found this video very interesting! :clap: pCvx5gSnfW4

Looking at the pics on the link below he spent time in LandCruiser(s)! :icon-cool: http://themindunleashed.org/2014/04/visited-201-countries-world-without-using-plane.html

OK guys............................................ I'm back in the UK for a few weeks in July/August and as I now unfortunately miss all the awesome Lincomb weekends, I don't get to meet up with you all. :thumbdown: Anyway...................................... I'm back in July for a few...

OK guys...................... I asked Cris if he could create a private members area so that I can show you all what I'm building without everyone in the world with an internet connection being able to see. Thanks Cris. :icon-biggrin: I will get all the pics ready and write up the first...

One of the guys I work with brought in an old magazine he found whilst clearing his loft out. The magazine is 30 years old and in it is a big feature on the 25 year history of LandCruisers in Australia. :icon-cool: I thought it might interest a few of you guys so I spent an hour scanning all...

Quite fitting really what with all the weather weve been having! Anyway..................................................... Tonight while searching for potential trucks to buy I came across some Toyota 4x4's that I've never seen/heard of before. Reminds me a bit of the Suzuki LJ50 and LJ80...

Just seen this on wheeler dealers. Seems like a good product. Wont cause rust inside the engine like normal coolant, and much less likely to blow radiator hoses etc. as the system doesn't get pressurised. They took the rad cap off with the engine running when up to temp and no steam or...

I quite like it. :icon-biggrin: http://www.milneroffroadracing.co.uk/milner%20evoque%20race%20car.htm

Some one on one of the other forums I'm on recently ordered an air locker form this company and has been very impressed with cost, service and quality. :icon-smile: Just had a look on the website and they've got a lot of different bits and pieces and quite a few cruiser bits. :icon-cool...

I've never seen a 4x4 challenge event like this. :icon-surprised: competitors driving up and down vertical banks with just a few pieces of wood and men pushing and pulling the vehicles. :icon-rolleyes: Looks dangerous, but at least everyone is wearing motorbike helmets. :lol: 3klg7uPndIw...

I need front and back, passenger side wheel arches for my 70. Doesnt matter if there damaged or cracked. Cash waiting. :thumbup:

Im not sure what the bigger toyota engines are like for over heating? But the 2.4TD and 3litre (1KZTE) imports suffer with over heating and cracked heads. :( According to Roughtrax website its to do with the viscosity of the fluid in the viscous fan. :think: This is what the website says:-...

I found this video interesting. He talks about the new 70 series double cab pickup, which is my dream truck and which i will be saving for when when i land in OZ. 8-) He says its coming to SA, but i thought it was only being released in OZ. :think...

its a great video, but i cant decided whether its real or not. :think: surely there would be some people on the streets, or in the windows of the houses/apartments watching him drifting past? :? [youtube:h3tjr0dc]LuDN2bCIyus[/youtube:h3tjr0dc]
