Re: LJ71 Ute Chop and Repower
I love this truck. The sooner you do the adjustments and deliver to nibbo's, the better.

Cheers Jerry!
Id like MWB length there nibby, just bought a house though so it may get delayed a wee bit.
I havent looked into it too much yet but if a MWB driveshaft fits Id like to just move the mounts and everything back to suit. The extra 28cm would be good I reckon, tank can be easily lifted out of the way.

Awesome that your boss was willing to up your wage to hold onto you.

Re: LJ71 Ute Chop and Repower
Few weeks ago I replaced the LSPV with a Willwood brake proportioning valve, seems the truck passed wofs and cert(twice) with next to no rear brakes. All sorted now, a bit of a concoction of fittings but works.
Where did you get it & what was the part no.?

Man this truck gets around, Whats wrong with it?
Seen this thing on the godley trips and was a cool rig.
Toyota Landcruiser FJ40, front and rear lockers, 35" simex.
Toyota FJ45 build in progress.
Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.

Re: LJ71 Ute Chop and Repower
nothing wrong at all , just i am a Nissan blood , and part traded ish for my GU rb25neo det , missing the bhp had thou with my gu as i have 480 bhp to play with, plus i all ready have a well set up safari aswell, so one has to go,
but omg i do like a lot of things about this truck, shit did i really say that lol
but i reckon the rear axle needs moving back, and better flex , so if i keep i will be a visit to tom as i knw bugger all about mods for a prado , and i cant be botherd modded another truck so i guess tom will get it after he sorts nige out
