    What we do at weekends whenever we get the chance.

    I've had the 80 for 10 years now, it used to be transport but now its a dedicated green laner/ camper. The others are a bit of a mix I guess, the FJ is a daily and some of the others are used to get to work but some are a bit extreme for daily's. When they are good for the rough stuff they are...

    What we do at weekends whenever we get the chance.

    Yep Nick, it came off another 80 I'd had squirreled away for a few years. It meant I could have a working winch at not too much expense.

    120 Prices

    Although it's a lower spec model.ie,not leather etc that looks streets ahead of that 120 at roundabout the same money. The cloth interiors are far more durable than the leather and better in summer and winter. If I was in that market I know which direction my money would be headed. Good luck...

    120 Prices

    There is only one way to buy a decent 120 and that is being prepared to look at loads and invest your time in doing so. It's well documented that I looked at 10 before I pulled the trigger on the 05 LC4 I bought. I could travel 100 miles each way and be there 15 seconds before I was on my way...

    80 series oem front bumper

    Just make sure it's the right width, the 80's with smaller arches have a narrower bumper.

    Help! - Mangled Locking Wheel Nut. Any Tips?

    TBF I had to get all 4 locking wheel nuts off an 80 recently that didn't have a locking wheel nut socket with it. I got all of them off with a combination of AF, Whitworth and various near fitted sockets knocked on. The Irwins are invaluable though, especially on 30+ year old rusty boltheads and...

    suspension

    In the summer I use General Grabber At2's 265/70/17 and in the winter I use Continental Ice Grip winter tyres 265/65/17. The reason I have this tyre choice is economic, both sets were like new S/H and cheap. It did require me to purchase another set of five wheels amd I run the winter tyres...

    Brake dust plates

    It seems with Collies it's a bit of a lottery as to whether the fronts will be good or not. On the D4D 2001 VX I had the fronts were none existent but didn't seem to affect anything. On my present 2000 V6 they are in great condition so there's no rhyme or reason why.

    suspension

    When I got the 120 with 130K I replaced the rears with genuine as they were in the area of £50 each but the fronts were very dear so I put Sachs ones on which for the past 40K have been perfect.

    OEM parts UK

    I've recently ordered a good few genuine parts for the V6 Collie, ( report to follow) from Amayama. The parts so far have mounted up to about £550 inc a fair chunk of postage and £50 import charges. When I got a quote from my local Mr T dealer it was £1270 + vat with a 10% discount applied...

    Hi one and all can sum one help is it a big job to put a 80 series engine and gearbox in a hj47 landcruiser wot will I have to have parts for the job

    Yes mate all good. I thought you were going to put the 1KZ in the 47? There's plenty to look at on this forum, I only look at it out of passing interest. I bet there's plenty of content on Youtube.

    New member - looking for 80 series

    Hi Aiden and welcome. (I assume electrical?) don't assume anything ever. Truck could be good, or not good. After all it's 32 years old but as its an import and not seen 32 winters. Only a detailed inspection by someone who knows 80 Cruisers will give you a definitive decision on if its any...

    Milners or Pedders standard springs?

    personally I wouldn't use either. Bite the bullet and get Toyota originals. I did this years ago with my 1st 80 Cruiser, replaced the springs after about 12 years with some aftermarket ones supposedly standard but the ride was harder. After a bit I bought a set of OEM exact right springs and the...

    Tunit chip

    yep I've got one on my ( Maria's) 120. Bought it second hand from a FB member ( I think). Fitted it the same time as the new injectors. Instantly it was more lively than before and I still think it's impressive now, even though I've been used to V10 kind of lively. Can't tell you about fuel...

    Dunno, I've only done one on an 80 series. I don't know if a Collie is different.

    Anyone else had issues with their Pedders 2" setup?

    Thinking on I'd be looking at the rear body mountings, I had this issue some time back and only located it when my mate Al was driving and I got in the back. it was the drivers side rear and you could feel it knock through the floor. Changed it for a good s/h one in about an hour and peace was...

    Although I may be wrong as I don't know the setup but I can't think there will be a centre diff on a part time system.

    Anyone else had issues with their Pedders 2" setup?

    With a bang as you described there should be a witness mark somewhere. Just as an aside, a friend of mine was over with his Collie on the ramp while Sam and Andy were visiting. We were looking for a knocking on the suspension only under certain conditions. after pulling tugging levering every...

    Auto gear hesitation 80 series 1995 4.2D turbo

    One thing you could check is the action of the throttle position cable, i.e. that it is free in its action and springs back as it should. I had to change mine last year ( 95 24V auto also) as it was seized and gave rough changes. It's a bit of a job as you have to drop the auto box pan to fit...

    High Peak Autos

    Just watched it, he paid too much IMO to start with, it looked a bit " orange" underneath. Very short MOT and not great history. They struggle to make much more than that generally, maybe up to £3.5k if everything is in its favour.

    Hesitation on my V6 Collie

    Well, having well thought about it and going back to fundamentals I thought this must be a fuel issue. Having steamed out all the old petrol in the tank when I bought it years ago I thought about what I hadn't done, having replaced the in tank fuel pump. When I serviced it up I didn't change the...
