2003 HJZ79 Ute body

G'day guys,

Does anyone know where in Aus I would be able to buy a genuine Toyota ute tub for the 70 series??? I would consider importing one but the cost would be massive. Wouldn't imagine Toyota would stock them???

Any help would be grateful

Cheers

Horrible brake pedal feel in hdj80

G'day all, I have been experiencing a very spongy feeling in my brake pedal lately. I had a vacuum leek in the booster so got that rebuilt and add a double diaphragm and replaced the master as well. She has new pad and rotors less than 10000 km old. Braided brake lines and a pro portioning valve ...

Re: 76 vs. GU series 7

Thanks for the info guys. Greatly appreciated. I am going to stick with Toyota. Shouldn't of had to question my loyalty.

Spoke to a dealer and its up to a 6 month wait if I can't find what I want in the country already.

Re: Styleside dual cab ute chop to my 80 series

Thanks for all your reply's guys. I am kind of thinking I will just keep it for a bit longer and then upgrade.

What do 1991 HDJ80's go for these days with under 300km's on it. It might be up for sale now that circumstances might be changing for me.

Re: Bighorn VS KM2

I have 35" Km2's on my 80 and I think they are brilland in the hard and are reasonably well behaved on the blacktop.

Have a mate who runs buckshots on his MQ and they seem to be good as well.

I don't think you will flaw either way, I'm just a BF man.

Old style MTR's are tops. Mate has them on an 80 series and loves them. A bit noisy on the road and not the most aggressive in mud but still more than capable. I have the BFG KM2's on my 80 series and swear by them. They have out down all my mates tyres offroad up around the Zig Zag area. The old ...

I picked mine up for ...
