I've put a 78/79 series grille on a 1987 HJ75. Minor mods were needed. The two lower mounting tabs on the radiator support panel had to be tweaked to line up with the holes on the newer grille (this is also the case when I tried to fit a 1990-1999 grille on the car). The centre support hole also did ...

Azza,
I may have erred in my assumption that your ute is a diesel and has the iron H55f gearbox and the 60 series type BF1A transfer case. You mentioned you think the gearbox is an H150f/H151f. Is your ute a 24 valve petrol FZJ75? If it is, you should have the H150f alloy gearbox and the later 80 ...

So your H150F, what is it out of? A HDJ78/9 or a HZJ80?
Does the H150F have mounting bosses on the side for that FZJ75 transfer shifter?

Mine is out of an HZJ80. It does indeed have the drilled and threaded mounting bosses:

Uh, I got the disc brake date messed up. The start date for rear disc brakes is May '93 :oops:

Yeah, in 1990 the front CVs got an extra reinforcing ring around the bell, but I don't know if they are that much stronger. The 1FZFE is heaps faster than the 2H, but it's quite thirsty for petrol. If I ...

I've been contemplating the same into a 75 series troopy but due to shifting houses the project has been on hold. I have an H150f sitting on the garage floor atm. From what I can see, the only major difference is the location of the transfer control. The 80 series transfer has its shifter on top ...

Yup, you can do it all under the car by feel, but if you unbolt the crossmember from the frame and lower the transfer with a floor jack it's heaps easier.

The gearbox has no breathers that I can find. I connected the breather lines from both diff housings and the transfer together, routed both ...

This is how I did mine. Pardon the rubber gloves, but I have to keep my fingernails clean for work on Monday, LOL.

The cap twist off easily:

Under the cap, a spring and a disc is all you see:

As long as we are talking about the 75 series, not the 2000+ 79 series, the major difference is the engine and the front diff.

1985-1989:
Diesel: 2H 6-cylinder engine, 3B 4-cyl available in other markets, e.g. Europe.
Petrol: 3F 6-cylinder.

1990-1999:
Diesel: 1HZ 6 cyl. , 1PZ 5 cyl. available in ...

just wonted to know if anyone if getting parts from over seas and will there trucks differ from our hiluxes,

Besides the obvious RHD to LHD difference, our Toyota "mini trucks" started to differ in 1986 when IFS was introduced. By 1995, when ours became the Tacoma, it no longer shares many parts ...

think ya got that one backwards dood... late model 40's and all 60 series had "split cases"... early 40's had single piece cases. the split cases take reduction gears. i don't think people make single piece reduction gears.

oh and single piece cases are poo... they break easily

Have you guys ...

Yes you can. You may have to drop the gearbox crossmember to allow the transfer case halves to separate. The tubular crossmember behind it sits too close.

You are "Wayne BJ73", aren't you?

Dave

HZJ75's had H55f 5 speeds. Only when the HZJ78/79 came the gearbox was changed to the R151f. All 60 series with 5 speed also came with the H55f. The problem with these is that the shift tower is located further aft on the body that the 45 floorpan needs to be cut to suit. The best 5 speed to use ...

Yank cruisers would have left hand drive. No diesels here, just petrols. 81-87 are 2F powered with 4 speed
88-90 are 3FE (efi) with auto
The 80 series didn't start until 1991

No reason to import cruisers from here, we only get shit.

Thommo 73 wrote: as for the longer splined inner axle, what did they come in that would fit into the middy.

For the rear, midi73 is correct. For the front only an inner axle from a 70/73/75 series with a cable locking diff.

Dave

I've been known to pull ARB lockers in my FJ40 to fit genuine Toyota lockers, LOL. The weakness in the genuine Toyota diff centre actually applies to the front high pinion 8" centres in the 80 series (same as late 70 series), not the 9.5" low pinion diff centres.

Yes, it is possible to fit a 60 ...

The 1UZ-FE is an engine meant for passenger cars and the peak torque horsepower may be higher in the rpm range whereas the 2UZ-FE is meant to be for heavier vehicles such as the 100 series and the peak power production may be at lower rpm's. Do you have the torque figures at certain rpm to compare ...

The turbo may be too big for the engine. Was the turbo meant for the engine?

Dave

Yup. The seals changed in Jan 1979 to a more robust one. The axle lengths also increased by a few millimeters.

Dave

Yes, for 1979 and newer only.

Dave

I paid $120 US +/- for mine but I just found this on how to make your own centering gauge:

Another cheap fix, LOL.

Dave

No on the hubs. The rear calipers and parking brake small parts are the same as a 93+ 75 series, but not the backing plate or rotor if the 80 is newer than 1992.

I think the front calipers are the same as a 78/79.

Dave

Brian, I'm not an 80 series driver, but I am betting it is in the lift and resulting uni joint angles, like Andrew said. It sounds like when you remove the rear driveshaft out of the drivetrain the noise disappeared.

I'd take an angle finder and measure the transfer output flange and compare it ...

Most cruiser axles I have taken apart have had equal or almost equal thicknesses and number of shims on top and bottom, but there are a few that don't. An easier and perhaps cheaper way is to get another swivel housing from the wrecker and be sure they leave the shims in the correct order.

If you ...

The only physical way is to know what the splines look like on the input....3f and 1hz run different splines to the 151, which has a larger, finer spline petrol or diesel....the best way to tell is to do a ratio check as first gear is 4.5 with the h150 and 4.1 with the h151...the part timer has a ...

My guess is that on the first time it was rebuilt the shims under the steering arm and bearing cap were not properly reinstalled. Unless the original shims were reinstalled in exact same position or new shims were installed using Toyota's Special Service Tool (SST 09634-60013 - seen in the first ...

One other way of fitting a 21 spline H150f to a 1HDT is to use an Isuzu NPR 12" clutch plate and a 1HDT pressure plate. Fits like a dream.

Dave

Yes you will end up with discs on the rear. you will need the backing plate rotors and drum hand brake set up. but as stated above you will need the later 70 housing. You should still be able to use your standard 70 handbrake cable.
Cheers.
Dave.

You'll find the drum brake hand cable is a ...

My mate blew up his AVM hub in his 80 on the beach

the aisin hubs are pretty good.

I have heard if you do a part time coversion with ABS it causes problems because of the speed sensors

That's interesting? Any idea why? The wheels should still be turning just not driven? Mine is an ABS one ...
