Thread: BJ73 Landcruiser

I put in Tridon brand plugs. Not sure what the previous ones were but I think 2 of them were stuffed inside 40000 km ish

Year the old buy once cry once.
There's quite a few sites that talk about this. The first I brought where £6.00 each the next £15.60 each

Mine went from 5 to 8 turns to 1 to 2.
That's what I need for an emergency call out!

Hey team selling my 70 series cruiser.
If you are interested look at the buy sell forum

My drivers door handle had some broken/rusted Springs so I bought a new $14 Chinese handle



And installed it and over tightened the bolts a bit



And fixed my door lock thingy that kept popping off, in the obvious fashion


And made some engine bay splash guards from 4mm rubber since I had none

Got my injectors rebuilt. Averaged 10.3L per 100km over 1400km around the sounds last week so pretty happy with that.

Noticed a bit of a clunk in the front end though. Jacked it up and pulled a wheel off today and found it's the kingpin bearings. I don't want to know what the passenger side ones look like.. that can wait for another day, what a messy shit of a job.

ah the joys of owning a $wd ( "4" and "$" are on the same button and I cocked up but then thought no no actually that is correct.)

Better economy than my ‘14 hilux

Yeah that pretty good for that old tank.

If you stuck your mellon out the window wearing that hat I seen you in the other day, the fuel economy won't be as flash

No extended breathers?

Nah I'm real lazy (it's on my to-do list) (you should see how long my to-do list is)


e: they're extended above the chassis but it's obviously not extended enough, just haven't bothered taking one off yet to find out what diameter of hose I need to buy

As MSL said you need extended breathers from your diffs/transfercase and gearbox perferably up high in the cabin.
Kingpins and cvs have nothing to do with water in your diffs tho, there is a oil seal inbetween.
Pack the shit out of the bearings,cv with cv grease,swivel hub full.done properly you wont get much change out of two tubes of grease.....if it is full of grease there is no room for water.
If everything is packed full on ya outer swivel hub assy and swivel seals are done then with lots of deep water work you should get at least two years before doing it again.
