I'd say the idle is too low when dead cold. I had to mess around with idle speed on one at work, they hunt when the idle is too low, almost sound like they are camming over.

Do they have a cold start idle up device? maybe this isnt working and causing the issue? although I dont think they do.

100 series have a big black box immobiliser thing on top of the fuel cutoff solenoid. PITA to get off.

but if you do get it off you can bypass the immobiliser and just run the ignition 12V wire to the fuel solenoid as per 75/8/9 etc.

It should be OK as long as you dont give it too much. we had a Coaster bus at work that would run away, but only when you got up it and it got more blowby, also recently fitted a Mitsubishi common rail that poured fuel into the rocker cover and to intake via the PCV (lesson - check the fuel pipes on ...

Pretty sure the no welding steering components is more to do with cast iron parts as the heating changes the metallurgy and causes the metal to crystallise and break, or some such.

Billet high steer arms shouldnt be a problem or at least fabricated from steel plate items.

What model Hilux is it? My old LN46 had a 253, all I did was put a rad frm a later model diesel, probably LN106 I think, had the hoses repositioned to suit the V8 outlets. Even before when it had an abortion Hiace core it didnt get hot. Always ran around mid to high 80s on the gauge when moving over ...

The terrain tamer or similar kit which comes with all the parts, including inner axle seals last time I checked is worth between $150-$200 depending what model.

Genuine book time for the job is 8.8 hours, so that is where alot of the cost goes, it is a whole day job.

Depending on which direction you want it pointing and how long you need it, you may be able to cut and shut the stock crossover pipe? I reckon the profile is pretty similar all the way across, so cut it where the angle is right and length is right and get it welded on. I reckon you'd even get a die ...

up until 60s they are 4.11(37/9), then with 80s they go to 4.10(41/10), then 105 go 4.30(43/10) and 100 go 4.10 this is for diesels, and pretty sure petrol uses same ratios.

(they change from 4.11 to 4.10 as for virtually the same ratio more teeth means more contact means quieter and stronger)

What vehicle is it?? for the old independant cars the track rod I reckon is just another name for draglink.

Sort of looking at doing this for myself. I think bolt on face outwards on HZJ75 is same as 60, offsets are correct etc. same hubs but cutouts for disc version to access handbrake adjusters. Only difference is the spacing of the bolts/studs that hold the backing plates to the housing, disc brake has ...

I think I would like to deal with the electrical gremlins that would come about by using an LS conversion than trying to get the carb related emission control systems that would come with a 1996 model engine any day of the week. Are you sure the 1996 454s are still carby, and not just throttle body ...

I drive Landcruisers all day, and if you think you can tell the difference in handling between fulltime 4WD and a part time in 2WD, you are driving way too fast. I needed to use my brothers fulltime FZJ80 for a couple weeks, and at the same time we had an identical spec'd part time converted FZJ in ...

well i got the pump and box rebuilt myself by a well known power steering shop I'd go and speak to them about it. I would have taken it to see them when I noticed things were getting hot on initial installation. Did it have some type of cooler? even just a pipe loop across the front to try and take ...

What oil seals are you using?

Have had this problem with non genuine crank seals on Hilux diesels. A couple at work failed and when we removed the balancer the seal came with it.

Cheap non japanese seals.

We had an old 2H Landcruiser at work that wouldnt drain the oil until we stuck a screwdriver in the sump plug hole. obviously it didnt have alot of space in the sump so it only took a few litres of oil. We changed the oil a couple times to help clean the crap out, and as far as I know that thing is ...

If it is the stick with only three positions, then it is high range you cant get back into (4WD automatically engages in low range) I think they can jusat get a litle stiff in and out of high/low range, even the 70K old V8 troopy I drove today and a couple others in the last couple days have been a ...

As long as the wheel nuts arent overly tight (properly tensioned, neva sieze on threads etc. 80-90lb/ft is about right for most M12 stuff) any cheap rattle gun would do the job, a more expensive one will do it better and longer. As for capacity, rattle guns are usually alot less hungry for air than ...

Sounds to me like you are trying to pull it out of 4WD while there is still some wind up on the transfer case. Are you shifting back to 2WD while still on loose surface or when back on sealed surface? different wear tyres front to rear? There isnt really anything to go wrong internally in the ...

AFAIK all 80 series run the same diffs, auto, manual, fulltime, part time, petrol, diesel, turbo diesel, all 4.10(41/10) ratio. Also as far as I'm aware all 75/78/79 Troopy/ute before the V8 run 4.11 ratio(37/9). All have same size rear diff centre, apart from the 78/79 when they go to larger rear ...

All the full time transfers have a longer rear case to accommodate the centre differential. If you change from Fulltime to part-time or visa versa, you'll need to change rear drive shaft to suit. Yeah hes right, I was wrong, the part time transfer is shorter again than the non viscous full time ...

(at work) Halfway through rebuilding a full time HDJ80 transfer with a part time kit, according to the workshop manual, a part time box would slot in place of a fulltime without a hassle, apart from the shifter, part time has electric diff lock (which becomes 4WD in part time) with stick for low ...

Last time we had a customer with a 200 I think it was with 17s on that needed replacing, some staked and some just worn out. The boss ran around all over town, and we sent the vehicle out with the tyres that needed replacing because we couldnt find any. Having said that, it could be the boss couldnt ...

Might be able to swap in a part time transfer case from a Hilux of similar age. We replaced a blown transfer from a Prado and it seemed to look very similar to the blown transfer from the Hilux we also replaced. Dunno if it will help much though, I think the Prado runs axles splined into the front ...

Pretty sure it will fit, the 80 series Toyota genuine manual at work only has one transfer rebuild section, but lists full time and part time variations. The part time transfer section has steps to include the electronic shift or manual shift.

Just be ware that toyodiy does not usually include the superceded part numbers, but if you ring up genuine they will have the old part number crossed over to the new number.

Hi Ryan, I want to go to a 265/70/16 which to me is the equivalent height to a 265/75/15, the 31/10.5/15 only has a load rating of 109 so is not any good. Really bizarre, the placard on mine says the 31s are the highest load rating of all the available, but I know the 7.50 are really. What year is ...

From the way I read the rules regarding tyre fitment, both the diametre and width are limited by the largest stock fitment tyre on the vehicle. My 1985 FJ62 has 3 sizes on the tyre decal, 31x10.50R15 on 15x7 rim, 205R16 on 16x6, or 7.50R16 on 16x5.5 rim. I wouldnt think a HJ61 would be any different ...

A 86 Troopy doent have a 17 digit VIN, it has a chassis number. It will be on the chassis on the left hand front if my memory serves me rightly. Will be *J75 - 000000 where the * will be H or F depending if petrol or diesel, and the 000000 is a number :) this is the chassis number, the ID before ...

If you currently have the RB30 carb engine, I believe the VL engine will bolt in using the patrol sump and engine mounts.

When you wire up the computer, you will pretty much need to fit it as it comes out of the Holden engine bay, including the airflow metre and oxy sensor.

Oil filter/cooler housing, I think it may be 2WD that the filter points down in. then the pumpkin smashes the top of the filter in and oil comes out. Had an ln106 with 22R engine on the hoist yesterday, the sump is completely flat at the front and would have most clearance of any factory sumps ...
