BJ74 - BJ73: what's the difference?

I have a BJ 74 and have friends with 73s, and as far as I can tell, they are the same.

However, I went to get a clutch slave cylinder the other day and discovered that the 74 has a unique slave cylinder. This got me thinking, what else is different about the 74 compared to the 73?

landcruiser 74 cable locker --- cable location

So I have a 87 74 Landcruiser and have just bought a cable locker to go into it.

Where does the cable come into the cab and how does it run to get to the levers?

So what I would like to know is: can I put a semi-floating diff head, (from the current one) with a Lock Rite installed, into a full floating rear axle? I'm trying ...

Steering Stabilizer. Which brand do you recommend

I need a new steering stabilizer/damper for my bj74 land cruiser as the old one is shot.

So I need to know which brand do you recommend. :?: :?: :?:

The cruiser is manly used as a club truck with the odd rode trip now and then.

I am running 33 MT but will soon be getting 35"creepy crawlers.

Odlins Road to summit - Slip

Hey all, Went up the main Odlins Road track today, and got about 600m away from the summit clearing and discovered a big washout intruding about a metre into the track. This meant there was only approx. 1.5m of track left, but the edge looked very crumbly with a very large drop. So if anyone's ...

Have you short about a second alternator :?:

At least it would be a good back up and you could just use an old one.

What brand leaf springs to get.

In my landcruiser 74, the front leaf springs are badly sagged – only 30mm of travel on one side. So I am going to replace them with a 50MM lift. Somebody once said to go for EFS springs as they don’t sag like some others can, but I’ve also had a quote for some Maxi Tracks which were about $150 cheap ...
