Hey Guys, My girlfriend has a website made up for some pictures from our trip through Alaska, and others, check it out. If you want to purchase any pictures you may email me directly, r.pletscher@hotmail.com and we can work something out. But if not, enjoy the pictures because we definately...

nice work! i just did the same thing to mine! except i put the 1hd-t into a 1993. love mine!.. too bad diesel prices are out of control.

definately worth it! the trip was awsome! where abouts on the island are you located?

awsome mileage! im sitting at about 650 for 86 liters. have you ever weighed your truck? for some reason i feel the 100 is quite a bit lighter than an 80... but i dont know if there is any truth to that. im sitting at about 6,000 lbs for my 80.

hey Ed, I was able to find a running hdj80, but it didnt have any interior, seats, bumper, doors, or pretty much anything that isnt required to make it run. theoretically you could make a running truck again, all the mechanical equipment was swapped over from the diesel, however the LHD...

for those looking to swap the diesel make sure the diesel and the gas one are the same year. Also, i think pre 93 are the easier ones, i would not touch the 2001 v8, there are WAY too many electrical mixups with that. The mechanical work is easy, all the bolt holes already exist, just make sure...

I should have been more specific, it wasnt the engine itself that made the weight difference it was the whole vehicle. One had a rear tire carrier and was weighed with camping gear and onboard water supply. which needs to be taken into consideration with fuel economy. the diesel is awsome to...

check the local craigslist. Thats where i got both of mine. and if i were you go with the fzj80 because you get the better motor and the diff locks. And you will easily be able to find them for 10,000, i got mine for 3,500 rust free never was offroad, everything worked, and my other one was...

Just my experiance. I have two landcruisers, one has the 1hz in it. it is perfectly fine for high passes offroad and everything, i just drove it on a 13,000 km roadtrip without any problems. Most of which was over high passes and gravel roads in alaska (to deadhorse). I also have a 1HD-T while...

The trip is going well, however the weather could be better, we have had rain every day for the last two weeks or so, been running into alot of cool expedition rigs from unimogs from germany, to decked out mogs from austrailia, also one that looked like the turtle expedition truck on our way to...

Hello Everyone, Just a quick post since I am in poor cell phone reception at the moment, we are doing a trip from Comox BC to Deadhorse Alaska in a 1993 landcruiser modified for expedition use, check out our blog we also have a live feed to our GPS tracking device...

haha yeah, i dont understand why people have it on the other side when they have an option, having it behind the drivers side makes way more sense when looking out the back window. anyways, here are some pics. I got the spindle and latches from Comp4x4, they were great to work with and i highly...

thanks, and at the moment I dont, I should start one for the whole vehicle though maybe ill get on that in the next couple days

i know its nothing to do with your OP but i had this same problem a few weeks ago, i didnt want to buy a whole new bumper because they are damn expensive so i built my own.. previously i had barely any fab experiance so this is very easy to do.. looks stock and uses the stock bumper. and it...

Heres mine, ready for one month in alaska starting next week.
