Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Yes, thanks for the ideas. The fuel tank empty weighs about 60kg so no throwing in a few nuts and agitating. I have cleaned out as much as possible of the algae formation with the hose. I have purchased a chemical from Repco called Chemtech that is a strong diesel biocide & kills algae. I think the ...

I decided to investigate the cause of the dirt that was appearing in the glass fuel bowl. It only occurred when running the Long Range (175ltr) tank. After removing the tank I found the inlet strainer completely clogged with junk. When I shone a torch in through the inlet hole the bottom of the tank ...

I am going out into some rocky country hunting in 2 weeks time. As I destroyed a BFG All Terrain last year, I have decided to return to split rims for this trip. What is a robust tyre with decent sidewalls that will fit on the split rims?? Previously I had no problem with the road grippers for ...

Mate, try Jason at Total Care 4wd in Seven Hills Sydney. He has done the conversion of 1HDFTE with 5 spd auto into his 75 series.

Has a tech write up been done yet on this subject?

Yes, they do use lots of fuel.
One of the guys at work has one and he normally gets 650km to the two tanks. By comparison the diesel with the same fuel capacity gets about 1150. You have alot more power but have to pay for it. Gas conversion??

Corrct, yes I meant to say they only have oil cooling. For my mind I would prefer both. The HZJ105 is my third Landcruiser (after a HJ60 & HJ80) with an aftermarket turbo system & none have given any trouble. All have had water cooling.

Correct me if I am wrong but, aren't Turbo Glide systems only water cooled?

I have the HZJ105 and get 1100-1200km to the two tanks. The guy at work who has the same vehicle FZJ105 4.5 petrol gets 650-700km. I think your economy is about right. You could spend alot of money trying to improve the economy and only be dissapointed. Another guy at work says his 4.5 patrol will ...

If it is any help I have a genuine factory workshop manual for the 100 series on disc & also the Factory 80s manual. I can loan you the 100 series if you like. It has a very comprehensive wiring section. PM me.

I know the guy who owns it, it has a 60series chassis with 40 series body work. He starts the car on normal diesel then when it has warmed up, runs waste vegetable oil in the old 2h motor from a second fuel tank. He is retired and all he does is travel around the country and spend time at his farm ...

On my 80 series I purchased another sub fuel tank switch and used that to turn the spotlights on and off.
Why not do the same for the 100??

The biggest problem I found with the 80s dash was removing and refitting the speedo cable. The later ones had an electronic drive off the gearbox. Mine was late 92 and had a cable drive. Not sure what the 93 will have.

The HZJ105 with aftermarket turbo started to miss at 2200rpm the other day pulling up a large hill. It also did not 'feel' as if it was willing to go past the 2200 rpm mark. I have changed the diesel filter and air cleaner to no avail. Can anyone recommend a diesel service company in the Sydney area ...

Remove the road wheels, and then in order to complete the repair as required you need two 8mmx1.25x25mm bolts to remove the rear axles. After loosening the 10mm bolts on the hub flange give the end of the stud a tap to loosen the cone washers. These can be difficult to remove and putting a little ...

I am thinking about changing the Landcruiser HZJ105, and the vehicle I would like to change to is the D4D intercooled dual cab hilux (Automatic). I would like to hear comments on owners reliability issues (If any). I understand the manual gearboxes are unreliable, is this true? Also what sort of ...

Try Trailblaza, they are in QLD. I have had mine for 17yrs and very reliable. Aluminium construction with 75mm off foam for efficiency and not too much battery drain.

Dow 50R. The way I read your reply, is I can use the HDJ80 box, flywheel & clutch/pressure plate assembly. The only change required would be the input shaft out of a std 80s box would require installing. Is this correct. Who out there would do a conversion like this and what $$ am I looking at. I ...

I have the HZJ105 with the usual gearbox issues. Jumping out of 5th gear & juddering clutch. If i replace the clutch, does that stop the juddering. I also have a gearbox and flywheel out of a HDJ80. It looks like it will fit, but are the bellhousing and input splines the same. What about clutch ...

No there will be no diff centre for the trailer. I am going to fit a cover plate to prevent the ingress of dirt.

Is it possible to fit 100series rear hubs to an 80s rear axle. I have an 80series rear axle assembly I would like to convert to 100series stud pattern to match the cruiser and then fit to my trailer.

Do a search for the bar I built for the rear of the HZJ105.

Save all the hassle why not buy a proper machined steel pivot. When I built my carrier they cost $92.00 delivered for two. Could be alot cheaper in the long run than having the carrier disengage from the vehicle at 100km/h and make itself a new home in someones radiator. Try this link for the hub ...

I have had Toyota diesels for 15yrs (2h & 1HZzz). If you run them dry but are quick enough to push the change over switch they will keep going. Normally as soon as I feel it hesitate I push the button and it picks up. However, running it dry is not recommended as the pump is receiving no lubrication ...

I had my Bilsteins rebuilt after 7 years of use on 2 vehicles. The cost was $610.00 for the pair. The people who did them were Heasmanns suspension at Tempe. When overhauled they give you a graph with the before and after performance of the shock absorber. The repair time was 2 days. They actually ...

Can anyone draw a schematic of the above idea? I like the thought of using a three way switch as I have access to several different ones.

I have completed the wheel carrier and would like to fit a light to it.
Question.
Can I have the light wired to come on when I put the vehicle in reverse and also have it wired to work as a camp light with power from the auxilliary battery.

Landcruiser HZJ105. The jerry can holder is removeable.

I have almost completed the carrier. I have welded in a pole for the mounting of a rear work light and also built in a jerry can holder that is removeable. I am planning on building a wheel carrier for the passenger side shortly. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y169/FeralDave100s/IMG_6579.jpg http ...
