Lots of work to Greg's VDJ78. We were fortunate to meet Paul Marsh earlier this year, and he is one of the world's foremost experts on Land Cruisers, with quite a bit of recent experience with arctic conditions (Driven to Extreme series). We are going through everything on the truck. Every fluid and bearing.
This shows the rear in progress. Full bearing change, low temp grease, low temp fluids and significantly lowered bump stops.
Here is Paul fitting the front brake conversion, adapting the brakes to allow fitment of the 15" wheel. Arctic Trucks specializes in these types of conversions, and sent the parts.
Paul has such attention to detail that he cannot leave anything unattended to. We had some failures with the TLC on the rear locker harness from trail damage. Paul reinforced and expanded the factory skid plate to eliminate the problem.
A little more detail of the front brake conversion
There are no extended fender kits for rear of the 78 available in Africa, so we are building our own and reglassing a set of 76 rear flares.
Here are the tires! 38x15.5 AT405 tires from Arctic Trucks. Specially designed for snow and arctic travel.
