The Japanese shops sell the 4 inch body lift kits.
Price is over $1000AU and then they charge you another $1500 to install it. Very nice looking anodized aluminum blocks in pink , purple and blue.
Most of the lift kits in Japan are hard with very little flex.

Thanks roscofj73 and guys. I talked to Glen Dobinson at Dobinson Springs and he is putting together a set for me. And I talked to Roger Brown in the USA and he will make me a 1.5inch bodylift and machine some poly body mounts for me. Now I am trying to figure out whether the BJ70 and HZJ73 use the ...

Is anyone making 1.5 or 2 inch body lifts for a HZJ73?
Did a search and can't find anyone who makes a kit.

Thanks

I have both an internal and an external.
The internal is for my safety and the external is to prevent (not eliminate)damage to the body.

They are excellent springs.
Dobinsons have been making springs for 50 years.
They are not big on advertising but their quality is high and the one year guarantee is sound.

I know the 22r and the 2LT are.
And I'm 90percent sure the 18r and 22r are the same.

Here is a muddy engine room.

Here is how I built the winch mount to get it up as high as possible.

Here's my bumper.

Here is usually how I put my snorkel.
It tends to get damaged when I go through heavy brush or in tight gullies and the truck flips on it's side.
So I usually keep it short and tucked in.
There is a screw on the inside and I can put it vertical when the water gets deeper but.....

And another.

Here are some older pictures of mine.
I recently changed the hose to a LandCruiser or maybe a Patrol hose.

This is mine.
It was $30 or so for parts.
I'll take another couple of pics in the daytime to show how.
But it is pretty simple.

I keep replacing my alternators because it gets full of mud and water.
Tomorrow I'm installing the second alternator this year .

How do you keep yor alternator running well in watery and muddy conditions?

Thanks

Actually I am hoping to also do crossover steering or at least modify the steering to get better flex.

Thanks

But my truck is petrol with a 18r-j.

Who makes a bolt on power steering kit? My desire for power steering surpasses my skills(and confidence)in installing steering components. And since I reside in Japan I can't ask one you guys and the local shops here don't want to touch it. Thanks Robert VanLane 80 Hilux Lockd, Exo'd,Caged and Bobbed
