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: http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f241/beanz2/outerlimits/HZJ80gearbox.jpg ...

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.

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 lines ...

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
