Need a new front drivers door. Anyone out there able to assist.

Can anyone tell me or point me in the right direction. I need to know the original front coil spring specs for a pre 9/91 80 series.
i.e. the free/uncompressed, length number of coils and wire size?

Its already certed. Just need to replace the sagged springs. Also need some stiffer springs for towing. Have found some now.

Anyone know where I can buy springs for a 6" lift to fit an 80 series. After some heavy duty for towing.
Mine have sagged over time and are also very soft.
Want to go to a harder spring.

This issue has reard its ugly head again. Had no issues getting a warrant since 2009. The guy I used for warrants has now sold his business. I've pretty much decided to get it recerted. Where would people recommend to go for a 4x4 cert. I live in Hamilton. Don't mind taking it out of town for cert ...

My turbo packed a sad some time ago and went through the engine. I picked up a second hand engine for it which got me back on the road. Decided to strip down the old engine to see what the damage was. All I have found wrong is a few bits of turbo blade imbeded in No1 piston. There is no sign of any ...

Rego YL8560.

Only one bearing competely gone. No trace of it at all. All other bearings are fine.

Can anyone tell me the best place to get a new oil pump and is it possible to bench test the one I have.

have you priced a new oil pump? No. I don't even know where to get one. I would also assume it would have been replaced when the engine was rebuilt. Thought if I could at least test it and then be able to rule that out as being the cause of the failure. Don't necessarily want to put a new one in ...

Got given an Isuzu MU with an engine Knock. The engine had been rebuilt 10000 ks prior. Stripped it down and found No 3 big end bearing completely gone so the conrod was running direct on the crank. Knock found. I have sourced another crank and am in the process of rebuilding the engine (new ...

Link to the kit I got. Have got parts from them before and have always been pleased with service and quality.

Yep those. Toyota told me they were $200 each. I don't know if that was a mistake or not but I agree dosen't seem right. At least the kit I got came with needle rollers and thrust washer. Went straight in no mods needed so I'm happy. If toyota had quoted me $50 each I probably would have got them ...

I imported it. Just jump on there web site (they have all different types and sizes)and purchase. It arrived in about a week. My son also imported one for his mu. Very pleased with them. I was advised to stay away from the barrel type which was what I was originally going to put in for ease of ...

According to Toyota around 98 they changed to the roller bearing and thrust washer. They emailed me the parts drawings for both types. Kit arrived from online auto parts. The kit was the same brand as from BNT. All Koyo bearings. It cost me an extra $10 than from BNT freight included. The upside is ...

I installed one in my 80 series landcruiser and am very pleased with the change in the truck. I got mine from frozen boost. Went for the biggest one I could fit and it covers the hole grill area of the radiator. Also have a trans cooler between the intercooler and the radiator that covers half that ...

I would have thought that if they supply a kit to fit my model cruiser then all the bits supplied should go straight in. If it requires a different (ie after market) spindle then that should be supplied in the kit or at the very least stated that an after market spindle needs to be purchased in ...

Hoping someone will have the knowledge or experienced this before. I am rebuilding my front swivel hub as the inner oil seal has failed. I have ordered a kit from online auto parts to rebuild both sides. The only thing I can see that is potentially a problem is that the kit contains a needle roller ...

you keep saying the trans was a weak point. Can you explain what you mean please? I tow a 3.5T boat. I have installed 3 auberins gauges Boost, EGT and Trans temp. On hill climbs with the boat on the trans gets pretty hot. I have an alarm on it so when it goes off I pull over and select low range. I ...

trans difference i think is 1hdt is full hydraulic and 1hdft is computer activated solenoid controlled ( correct me if i,m wrong) nup.. mine is electronic controlled trans 92 1HDT i think the 91 is hydraulic.. very interested also in this or even change from 12v to 24v head and pistons as an option ...

Yep
trouble is once my speed drops there's very little air flow through it compared to the heat being generated. Even put an aux fan in front that I can turn on.
Its all about keeping the torque convertor locked for as long as possible

bare in mind you could buy another running 80 series for what you could likely end up spending buying/rebuilding/replacing/upgrading the engine in your existing truck.... just saying :D Yea I know that's where its a hard choice. My truck already has a 6" lift with 37"tyres. Both diffs have been ...

After destroying my engine last weekend I've decided to replace the 1HDT in my 80series with the more modern 1HDFT 24valve engine. What I would like to know is besides the engine what am I going to need. Looking at getting the engine from a 96 or later 80 series. Do they have a different trans. My ...

Realistically you are better off rebuilding/putting a 1hdft with a Gturbo and running 30psi daily. It's bolt in job, no cert needed. Do it over a weekend or two rather than a year of weekends waiting for parts from america with the 6.5. I put off buying a gturbo for years and prices have gone up a ...

was looking at the 6.5 chev

Had a few issues with my landcruiser last weekend. Was towing my boat to coramandal when the turbo oil seal blew. It filled the turbo instantly with oil turning it into an oil pump. The turbo self distructed sending it all through my engine. Now the big decision. I would like to drop a V8 diesel ...
