    axle diff lock retro fit update

    If your locker for the 80 has similar wiring to the toyota e locker i retrofitted recently to my 70 then you can wire it up very simply with a dpdt switch(about £3 from maplins)to get it working for the moment.if you decide to do this i can send you the wiring diagram

    stage one of lj70 improvements complete

    matt black wrap sounds nice.good for evading enemy radar as well! and yep there was a silly amount of damage after that girly roll.shattered windscreen was the only obvious damage at the time but then i realised neither of the doors lined up properly and both windscreen pillars had pushed over...

    stage one of lj70 improvements complete

    its just for pay and play days in the mud Ben,there really isnt a great deal of green lanes down my way that i,m aware of.i did try tinting the back windows but i just couldnt see a thing out of them.i think it majorly contributed to this last time i was out my poor off road driving skills...

    stage one of lj70 improvements complete

    thanks guys for all the positive feedback.i have to admit though with that 2lt engine it still has rather more bark than bite.in hindsight i probably should have got the later kzj to get that great 1 kzt engine but i was just asthetically drawn to that round headlight look.must be from from my...

    LJ71 rear diff lock, not working, next project.

    if you look on my previous thread about putting a toyota e locker into a lj70 rear axle you,ll see a wiring diagram.theres only six wires to the actual locker and related limit switches,but if yours is controlled via an ecu then theres additional control wiring there.The locker has to be in its...

    Lj70 (early 88 version) advice needed!

    hi Simon.i,ve finished putting the e locker into my rear axle.we went down the route of modifying the existing axle to accept the locker rather than trying to modify the lj78 axle to fit.it would have been nice to have the rear discs but it would have got quite involved and the disc set up from...

    lj70 intercooler write up

    or in simple terms the intercooler cools the air going into your engine making it denser allowing you to force air in more quickly this gives you the option of increasing the amount of fuel you add to the mixture end result- more power if you get it right or damaged engine if you get it very wrong!

    lj70 intercooler write up

    i only had one battery in mine.if a second battery is ever needed ,maybe for winching il have to look at mounting one inside the cab i guess.For on road performance i,m fairly sure a large front mount intercooler would cool better although you do have do fairly long pipe runs to it.as mine is...

    i bought my one about 4 weeks ago Pete from a breakers ooop north.i paid £250-00 + £40-00 to have it sent down.it was complete except for missing the calipers which wasnt an issue as i only needed the e locker from it and am gonna keep the drive shafts as spares.its got decent discs and pads on...

    this is where i,ve got all the ideas for intercooling http://www.toyotasurf.asn.au/techsite/performance.htm thers a lot of useful stuff and pictures as well regarding intercooling and boosting the turbo pressure.the opinion seems to be having a fairly big exhaust(2 1/2 to 3 inch from turbo to...

    2.4 Lj vs 2.4 surf engines

    Hi Carl,i run both an lj70 2.4 and a surf(the 3.0td) and to be fair i,ve never had any overheating issues.i,ve run and totally abused 2.4 surfs in the past and never had any over heating issues but look on ebay and you,ll see a lot of the 2.4 surfs either have overheating problems or have...

    LJ70 with rear diff lock

    yeh Gav.its quite a different set up on 70,s compared to the 80,s.i didnt have a workshop manual to hand and the only one i could easily access online was one for the 80 sereis cruiser which may have been more of a hindrance than a help

    LJ70 with rear diff lock

    whilst i,m on here and totally off on the tangent.i,m looking for someone down my way to fabricate a winch bumper for me something similar to the one on my hilux surf.the guy who owned this before me made it himself .i think he based the design on something he,d seen on an american 4x4 site.any...

    lj70 rear axle-where have i gone wrong??

    this the easiest way to wire the e locker just using a dpdt(double pole double throw) switch which gives you only a locked light,but can be done for pennies.there is a slightly more complicated version ,but not by much which uses 2 additional relays to reverse the polarity to the locker motor...

    lj70 rear axle-where have i gone wrong??
