It is rather quiet, read 'very' quiet these days.
A few visit and leave comments still.
We need new blood to get the site back on its feet again.

Swap all of your 2L sensors, glow plugs etc so they are correct and compatible with the computer etc.

A blast from the past. Great to see it getting some attention.

This looks like it is going to keep ya out of trouble for a while. It should turn into a capable wagon once you are done.

Water getting into a cylinder. gasket leak or cracked head unfortunately.
Repair or replace the head/gasket as required. Fit new water pump and thermostat, I would also get the radiator checked to make sure it isn't blocked.

That's a pretty good list for the WOF. It'll be on the road in no time.

Yay, Projects.
Looks like an undertaking and a half.
I like the idea of the Raptor coating, We are considering it as an option later on when we get sick of the west coast pinstripe look on our KZJ Prado.
Good work, keep it up.

Aren't there two pumps plumbed directly into the bottom of the washer reservoir? One pump for the front and one for the rear window?

Adventure Kings had some for a good price a while back.

I could when I posted my response, now I can only see the first one same as you

Photos look good Pete,
It's good to see a few older wagons still being used. That's a decent chop b the wellside.

Father in Law sold His 1980 Cherokee Chief 2dr wagon last year. Was originally petrol V8, he dropped in a Chev diesel V8, well two actually, first diesel put a leg out of bed, shattered the block.

Oh bugger.
Gary Weaver, 0274557746 He isn't far from you. Marshlands Area. Was wrecking and selling Prado parts.

I still have my old transfer case from old LJ78. Jumps out of low box.
Any use to you

Good news, Glad you got it sorted out.

Call in at your local Police Station and ask at the front desk. They will love to hear from you.

Mate put it up for sale but change his mind. Has an injected falcon 6 cylinder in it. Falcon dash too from memory. Guy that started building it up bought it from my father in Law as a standard Ute with a flat deck. He had plans of road legal leaf sprung crawler type thing, lost interest after moving ...

I love the look of the old J20 and Cherokee, A J20 that has been rolling about between a few family mates is getting a new lease on life at the moment. Good to see yours is earning its keep.

Just checked against a few tracks I know and yep Grade one is Nana spec, grade 5 Go with nana to tow her mobility scooter out spec. (Don't go alone)
That page was set up by a motorbike touring dude so grades may be more indicative for bikes tan 4wd, still relevant though.

This may give you a few more options

Talk about a glutton for punishment. Is it cost effective/worthwhile getting them in this shape and restoring them?
Restoring one I get, but four?
Loving the finished look of Volvo One.

That look bloody awesome, She's been a long time in the making but here's hoping it was all worth it. I'd be as happy as a pig in shit with that to play with.

16 inch tyres tend to be offered in narrower sizing than the 15 inch tyres, e.g. 33/12.5 Vs. 33/10.5

undo the small screws from behind, the centre cover/horn should lift off allowing you to disconnect the horn wire. Then loosen the nut holding the steering wheel onto the steering shaft

So Close, So Close

What part of the country are you in?

Another one? It must be a sickness.
On the bright side you have a flock of them now so once they are all in the same place they should start breeding themselves and you won't need to buy any more.
Keep up the good work and look after yourself.

Talk to Tomsoffroad, I think he made some up a while back. He has a very active FB page

Snatch recoveries are usually done with pace and a bit of force. So if your snatch strap breaks, the recovery vehicle shoots forward under speed, your tether rope now goes tight and also snaps, You now have two ropes acting like projectiles and heading towards vehicles/people etc. with a shackle in ...
