Roaming Lost: x3 Locked 1990 Toyota HDJ81 (80 Series)

[roaminglost]

I'm really hyped on this one; I picked up a 1990 HDJ81. Triple locked, 1HDT diesel motor.

The first drive home was 8 hrs, and did it with no issues. It's pretty wild that a 33-year-old truck runs like a dream!

The first thing I had done was a PDI intercooler and trans cooler.



Also added some Corbuea GTS-II seats (with heat)


Waiting on gauges, I had to put an EGT gauge in for now so I'm using a GlowShift. I'll be swapping to REDARC gauges hopefully soon.
Also added some One Stone armrests. pretty easy to modify to work with any 80 series.

Most of the stuff on my short list is maintenance. So, I'm currently getting my front knuckles rebuilt. But while they're apart ill be upgrading to the later 80 series rotor and calipers for some added braking power.

The power system for the truck will be this Expion360 kit. I plan on doing a custom electrical system but this fits the bill perfectly.

What modification did you make to fit HDJ81? I could use one for mine.
BEBs done?

BEBS were done at 300km.

What are you referring to for modifications?

Upgraded the catch can to an HPD from Aus. Right off the bat, my blow-by seemed almost non-existent now.

“Protect your investment fit HPD’s oil separator kit.” HPD’s Australian made billet CNC machined oil catch can / oil air separators have been designed to reduce the amount of oil from the engines crank case breather entering the intake system. The issue is with the oil entering the intake system...

knuckles got rebuilt so while it was apart I had them upgrade the rotors and calipers from a later 80 series. The difference is pretty noticeable in person.

These one stone armrests are so essential!

Got the Sherpa La Sal rack on. Pretty easy to install. I was able to do it myself.
