Removing the Charcoal Canister on a UZJ100R

Does anyone know what lines do what in the charcoal canister, I wanted to remove it to fit some stuff in its place under the bonnet. So i just wanted to check and see which lines I might need to join as a bypass of the canister or which lines can simply be blocked off or whatever.?.?

Re: Is the Lexus LX470 the same as 100 series Landcruiser?

Yeah they are virtually the same vehicle, the main difference between them is the LX470 has AHC Hydraulic suspension, which, if you wanted to put a bit of a lift in your car would make it slightly more difficult. I've read stories of blokes in the states that have had to pull the whole system out to ...

Re: Feedback on the UZJ100's

Yeah I have thought that, but there isnt much room and the gain probably wouldn't be worth the effort. While I was under there this morning sussing out a noise ive found that the drivers side inner cv is stuffed, does anyone know if someone makes aftermarket CV's that are stronger that factory?

Thanks fellas, I ended up getting a 2005 model Uzj with the 5 speed auto. Picked it up on Sunday. And drove it back from brissy. It's a nice vehicle to drive, I'm starting to do some research now as to whether or not anyone makes full replacement A-arms for them, as that would be the most reliable ...

Feedback on the UZJ100's

I'm looking at buying a 98 model uzj100 GXV, I'll be flying to brissy next weekend to check it out, just wondering if there is anything I should be weary of. It has 250,000 kms on it.
Thanks in advance,

And also, how strong are these engines? Would they handle much more than 20 psi of boost? Cos i know the 1HZ's have a weak bottom end, as they only have two bolt mains. Do the 1hdfte's have 4 bolt mains?

So, in theory, chipping it would allow more fuel, therefore allow the engine to still produce power with higher boost pressures?

1HD-FTE Power Figures

I am looking to go a conversion into my current 1HZ powered 105 series. The 1HD-FTE, while i know is very expensive to buy, is lookin like the easiest candidate for the swap, but my other alternative would have to be an LS2 6.0L, the engines are cheaper but there would be more cost getting it fitted ...

What Lift is needed to fit 35's on a TJ Wrangler???

Does anyone know how much lift you need to put uner a TJ Wrangler in order to fit 35 inch tyres under it? I'm asking for a friend, he doesn't want to have to go into changing arms and stuff, so I'm guessing it'll be like a 2" suspension kit, and a certain amount of body lift? Also how hard is it to ...
