    BUILD:1993 Toyota HDJ80 - 1hdT, 5 Speed, 3x Locked, LHD. My dream vehicle!

    You need toe-in. At least 1/8” - 3/8”. Or you’ll get some sweet death wobble. of course a professional alignment is always nice. If you do; keep the numbers to see where your caster is.

    KTM 1190...in the right hands

    Ouch!!! Dang. Glad it was not worse. Ever since my mtn bike wreck last October (40 mph cartwheel; broken sternum separated shoulder) I ride everything much slower. But the sound of a KTM twin is hard to not twist more sound from it!

    KTM 1190...in the right hands

    well this makes me feel a heck of a lot better about my decisions to upgrade from my 990 to an 1190 (was too good a deal to pass up). i'm a big guy and was able to man handle the 990 even loaded for a trip.. and I was afraid the 1190 was too big and bulky. but after checking the weight...they...

    ah... AND... that era of 80 series has somewhat oddball brakes; especially the rear. If and when you need rotors or pads, Valley Hybrid in stockton stocks them (no affiliation).

    also... bump your timing 1mm. Will make a world of difference with respect to EGT's. Loosen the two 12mm nuts AND the giant 19mm bolt hidden undernearth... then twist the pump so that the top moves toward the engine block. There are hash-marks on the timing case and the pump... they should be...

    BUILD:1993 Toyota HDJ80 - 1hdT, 5 Speed, 3x Locked, LHD. My dream vehicle!

    on my 1996 1HDFT/h151 80 series... one small thing I added that made a huge improvement... I soundproofed the heck out of the center console/shifter console. The H151 has a rather noise transmission, and the 1HDT isn't exactly quiet... the difference was night and day. I skimmed the write up...

    FJ80 Brake Master vs Tacoma Brake Master

    poking around, came across this old post. I'm in the midst of upgrading the calipers on an FJ60 to the V6 4Runner ones (little bit larger total piston surface area, larger pads). I'm keeping the stock master... It seems to me if I upgrade to 1" bore, I'll negate the affect of larger slave...

    rereading through this thread as I prep for an LS swap... just for future reference, I seem to remember that the ac amplifier in FJ60 need to see the original tach signal. Guys who have done diesel swaps have had problems getting the air con to fire up; and an amplifier from a mini truck (like...
