The radiator cap is supposed to be the weak link in a well functioning coolant system. If you have severe pressure build up ,it will lift and release pressure . .2 bar is approx 15%. I cant see why you would want to do this. If you want to keep your engine cooler in warm climates ,I would look...

I was there,must be 10 years ago now. It was a busy site for its time,pity the owners thought we were ****. Most of us migrated to MUD

Before you get started,tally up what you want to spend against what would it cost to buy an up and running example in the classifieds. The engines are reliable in good condition,not built for high rpms. I had a 3F(NON USA model with no fuel injection) and it was reliable and fast enough in a 73...

Hi some nice work going on there. With all that rusty water, I would budget for a new radiator sometime in the future. It gets rusty because air is getting in ,so you need to go through all the hoses and clamps and check for tightness.The radiator also gets clogged up in the cores,the only way...

The problem is ,is that they encourage everyone to do it and pretty soon outback roads and tracks turn into sand dunes in the dry and quagmires in the wet.So then drivers who cant get through begin to make alternative tracks and pretty soon we start seeing track closures. It takes a lot of...

Get a 100 series ,do a few trips in it ,then begin to modify it to suit your purpose. RTT are ok but they have their drawbacks just like sleeping inside or towing a camper trailer.A quality tent that is quick and easy to put up is just as good as a RTT in many ways. Its good to have something...

You can ,its on youtube

Do a few trips with as it is and then make up your mind,but 20 year old springs will probably die quick once you load the vehicle up and take it offroad.

Maybe there is other problems in the cyl head or maybe the radiator cores are clogged. It is normal for it to spin for a few second when the engine stops. Maybe you could get Toyota to check the silicon oil level in the fan clutch

Could be castor adjustment,but check the cheap stuff 1st

Quality air compressors last a long time and they are always ready for work.If you are airing tyres down regularly ,then a co2 canister maybe a good but you have to remember to refill them. Having a good compressor stored away in the vehicle is fool proof. My compressors nearly 10 years old and...

Ive already got a 95 diesel troopy. I might use the money on a turbo diesel implant and interior fit out and spend the rest on shipping it to North America and do a circumnavigation and maybe South America as well. But if it had to be spent on a vehicle ,it would be the best HDJ78 I could find.

Keep her in storage or you will spend all your life regretting it

Good to see the 100 series is being used for what it was intended for. Any plans for coming west?

I had one built into my slide on camper with its own faucet ,and after a few trips I found it more practical to carry a small plastic tub and fill it from a jerry can with a tap fitted to it. Tipping some soapy water onto the ground is not going to hurt anything.The 100 gallons of fuel you have...

Its just an advert for the company that does these mods. There are far easier and cheaper ways to achieve the same objectives. I agree the suspension had to go but thats about it. I wouldnt have chopped the roof,it just weakens the body IMO and ruins the resale value. Its easier and cheaper to...

No its not.Its worth the cost of parts that could be stripped out of it.

I would push it off a cliff. Nothing special apart from its lack of availabilty in NA

If you dont have a bulbar,a big animal will total the vehicle for sure. Whether the frame will be damaged is academic. The original bullbars were to there force the animal down and stop it coming over the bonnet and through the windscreen.They were tilted forward to help accomplish this ,but...
