awsome rig mate. very well set up

[fatz]

My 76. just a couple of pics that i had handy. Now has a 2" lift, arb bar and steps, long range tank and a few other bits and pieces. Lots more to do.

[troopmaster]

Some nice rigs there chaps!!:thumb:

I see a handfull of 76's getting around down here....(Adelaide)
But not very many of the new 78's, seems people like the 4 door option moreso.

Those 70's are 100% drool factor! Do any of you guys have any plans to fit bigger exhausts or management upgrades, eg D-tronic??

[johnhu]

Yes I do have plans to fit a 3" exhaust and a 'chip'. Just got to wait for the dollars to be saved up and figure out which products suit.

There's a local 4WD mag here in WA called 'Western 4WDer'. The editor of the mag has V8 79 series, fitted a 3" exhaust (taipan I think) and trialed a few different ECU interceptor chip units on it. The steinbaur (spelling??), TUnit and DPChip. I think from memory they all gave similar results, but the steinbaur was too expensive (need 2 units to cater for the 8 cylinders), and the DPChip wasn't as adjustable as the TUnit he stayed with. There was articles with dyno charts, etc spread out over 4 issues or so. Made for interesting reading anyhow.

johnhu,

Good seals on the doors of your canopy, nice and dry.

Nice tourer.

Cheers,

[money_killer]

nice set ups. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ :D

[tuff 75]

Hey fellas, I do have a beudesert exaust its a 3.5inch mandrel straight threw no muffler or cat and it has made a huge difference. Check out my build up there are a few short vids u will here what it sounds like. lined up another rapid chip just like i had in my old ute, got 180 rwhp out of the old 1hdfte so hopefully my mate can wave his wond and pull 200 this time..........

Hey Tuff, I meant to post this in your build up thread afew you got back form the Cape. How do you rate the V8 compared to the 1hdfte and overall is there much differance between the 79 and your new rig ?

Love the ute, it's pretty much my dream rig :D

cheers
James.

[tuff 75]

Honistly, It has'nt got as much power as the old jigger but it does'nt have a chip like my old one did, everything else is the same similar fuel usage, handeld a little differnt with the wheel track being wider in the front but no big deal, but i am impressed with its torque for a standard motor they have plenty of go..... cant wait 2 chip it!!!!!!!!

No problem, glad to help.

Just put on a 3" exhaust a few days ago as well. (Local WA manufacture, bolt on mandrel bend mild steel, turbo back, no large muffler). Sounds nice :-). Does rev free'er than before. No dyno or anything, but does feel livelier on the 'seat of the pants dyno'.

Plus without the '44gallon drum muffler' under there any more, there's all this extra space. Wonder if I can fit an extra water tank or something in that space.

Chip will have to wait till the next payday probably.

[jaztaz]

Guys, just bought 07 GXL VDJ70R. Pics were on carsales.com but now removed so I was to slow to post them up. Presently has got 3" zorst, Shelley Ind. tray, sandgrabber floor mats, gen. Toyota sheepskin seatcovers, ARB deluxe bar & 36000ks. At the moment it is getting airlockers fitted, next week 5" lift & 315/75/16 mtz on 16x8 rims. Now all I have to do is get it from Brisbane to WA.
Regards Jaz.

[HJ 47 CHEV]

Hi Jaztaz,

nice work on the truck.

like to see the 5in lift. who is doing it. how much it costing.

i have an 04 RV, wanting to give it a little lift, but everone costing a small fortune. proberly go with the EFS next year 3in coils, 2in rear springs Superiorengineering extended shackles.

G'day John
Very nice unit. Who did your exhaust? I want to chip my TD 100 Cruiser and add a 3" system and am looking for someone in Perth who'll do a good job.

It was Mettams Mufflers in Morley. Hope the info helps.

Yep, thanks John. I'll give them a call. I must check back through my Western 4WDriver issues (a top mag....just about the best, I reckon) to see what Nick Underwood had to say about the various performance chips.
Thanks again

After putting on a Taipan exhaust, he trailed the Steinbauer, TUnit and Diesel Power chips. Now this is all from memory, so do check out the magazine articles to confirm but....
- The exhaust on it's own didn't give much more power, but smoothed
things out on the dyno charts. (ie: less dips/rises, smoother power and
torque curves).
- Steinbauer unit was expensive, as two needed for the V8. Had a minor
cold start issue (can't remember what it was though). Cost was over 2K
- TUnit gave similar power/torque increases to the Steinbauer, but
obviously cheaper as only a single unit required. Cost about 1.2K
- Diesel Power had to be turned up to full to get same power/torque as
TUnit on its middle setting (5 out of 9). Cheaper though, about 1K

The last article he went back to the TUnit (his preferred option) and tried different settings on it (the user settable dial from 1 - 9) to see how it affected fuel economy. His conclusion was basically to tune the vehicle for power, but then drive it for economy (ie: drive smothly, don't plant the foot and use all the new power, short shift gears, etc) to get the best economy.

Again, double check with the Western 4WDer articles in case I've remembered something wrong - a definite possibility.

I ended up putting in the exhaust (which is a 'Manta' brand bolt on I should have mentioned). I haven't had it on a dyno, so all by the 'seat of the pants dyno'. The exhaust did make it seem a little smoother, but no noticeable power increase. Interestingly though the fuel economy improved from about 13.7L/100km down to about 13.2L/100km on my regular home-to-work run on the Roe Hwy (not a lot of stop start).

I installed the DPChip after a few weeks (cost $1.3K). Simple to plug in myself. The install took about 10 min. It has 7 user selectable settings, with the default being on 4. After speaking to the suppliers, and informing them of the exhaust, they reccomended moving it up a notch to position 5 or 6 which I did. Definitely a noticable increase in power.

Again interestingly the fuel economy improved slightly to 13.0L/100km on the same run. If I use too much righ foot, it returns into the low 13's, but I'm pretty happy. Definitely a lot better to drive now.

PS: I was looking at a TUnit as Nick found the best bang-for-your buck of those he tested on his TD V8 cruiser. One WA supplier had no interest ("Oh, I guess I can order one in for you if you want"), and another wouldn't supply it without doing a tune on a laptop. When asked what dyno he used, etc I was told he didn't use one. I then asked what/how he tunes it without a dyno, and was told if I didn't like the way he did things not to bother - so I didn't.

Fourbys doing the work, mostly Superior Eng. gear.
Adjustable Tuff Dogs,
5" springs,
Superior dropped radius arms,
Superior panhard,
7 leaf 'articultion' rear springs, (articulation & leaves in same sentence??)
Superior ex. shackles,
Brake prop. valve extension,
few other bits & pieces as well.
Should be done by Monday 22nd. Then another 3 or so weeks to get it to Perth. Then drive home after that (another 1600 ks).

Can PM you the quote if you like.

Thanks again John. Where did you get your DP unit from? I haven't shopped around much for the various units yet, but WA Automotive Specialists in Balcatta have quoted $1430 for a DP.....they also do a power package for $2900 which includes the DP unit, a mandrel bent 3" exhaust (including dump pipe) and full set-up on their dyno. United Fuel Injection in Rivervale recommended a Rapid unit at $1550. Mettams quoted about $1500 for a 3" system, but not including the dump pipe....about another $600!!! Anyhow, I'll keep sniffing around and see what I can come up with.

not a 76, but a builder we subby to at work has cut down a 200 to a dual cab, it looks sweet as, I'll get a pic of it next time he's around.

[UNSAFE]

tuff75, you ow me a keyboard ;)
I just drooled in it looking at all the sweet trucks. AH the ole' 79 will have to do for the moment.

[FKT08]

This post is making me want to change cars but if I tell my wife anything about it she would kill me as I have already spent a fortune on the 105.
Also we have kids so I would need the personnel carrier. Any pic's of these would be nice to see.
Keep the post with your awesome cars going as I always like to dream:thumb:

285/75x16's Mickey T's. Has had a lot more done since the photo was taken.
Is now lifted 2" all round, ARB bar and steps with side rails, 12000lb winch and a long range tank.
Will try and put up some more photos tonight.

[LC70]

Thanks Naghotch,

So far:

ARB Bar
IPF extreme Sports Spotties
9K Winch
Frontal Under Guard
Air lockers F + R
3" Beaudesert system (no muffler) :)
Air Bags in rear suspension
2" wheel spacers in rear
Dual Batteries
Piranha Heat exchange shower + sureflo water pump
85lt under tray poly tank
second set of rims and 33" BFG muddies (for the trips away)
Aluminum box on tray with light power outlets and 40l Engel
rubber spray on liner in custom steel tray
UHF + Gps in Cab
new speakers in doors
Tinted windows
ERPS extreme Rust prevention kit
Safari snorkel head
30mm Coil spacers in front


I think that is about it. Would love to lift it like tuff75's but my 2 dogs would never jump into the tray!

Still contemplating a chip but ???


Cheers
Andrew

[naghotch]

nice job LC70
cant wait to buy my 79 cab chassis ( but i think i will get the petrol engine 4.5 efi)
we have them in the middle east markets, although i live in Jordan and our dealer doesnt get any 70 series (the assho...)
but i will get mine from Saudi Arabia or Egypt both are very close to Jordan.

question please LC70:
doesnt your 33" tyres rub at any point with only coil spacers front and wheel spacers at back?

[LC70]

Naghotch,

The tyres do not rub anywhere that i can see. I have them mounted on 16x8 100 series GXL live axle steel rims and they work fine with standard suspension. Done a few trips with them now and nil dramas at all.

Cheers

Andrew

[naghotch]

Found these a while back, not sure where it was now. Based on the 76 wagon. This set up but maybe on the 78 or 79 wheelbase would be better. At least some of the tray would be over a bit more of the rear axle.

nice rig jaztaz :D

[money_killer]

looks like a tuff truck

[D1cko]

got some specs on that?

[jaztaz]

2007 VDJ79R GXL
When I bought it last month it came pretty much standard except for the bar, lambswool seat covers & sandgrabber floor mats & 3" Taipan exhaust. 36000 ks.
I had fitted as follows-
315/75/16 MT MTZs on 16x8 Dynamic rims,
5" Dobinsons coils & raised rear Allset springs with ex. Superior shackles,
Adjustable Tough Dogs all round,
Superior dropped radius arms,
Airlockers f & r.
Am waiting on a different bar so I can fit my highmount, (this one for sale). Have also ordered the steel for the canopy I want to make.
Will have to get a better steering stabiliser though.
Drove it home from Perth on the weekend, 1600ks & it drove really good. Should be getting it dirty this weekend. http://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif

[moregrunt]

jaztaz what happened with those spare rims in the end did you sell em ? nice rig ill have to get a good pic of mine and post it up

[jaztaz]

Sold them to a guy from here to put on his HDJ78 Troopy.

[moregrunt]

just thought id add my rig too the list. let us knw what u guys think

Hi mate.

I have a Beaudesert 3in mandrel bent Exhaust, they are in QLD. i highly recommend them & i am pritty sure they deliver Aust wide. it is a straight up fit.

start at the tail pipe unbolt old one all the way to dump pipe. then its just reverse, dump pipe to the tail pipe.

they do stainless & aluminized steel

good luck

This is my upgrade from a 1992 75 series ute that I drove for 16 years..... loving it!!
Just the basics so far. Bullbar, Lightforce 240s, Warn 9.5 winch, Roofrack, Outback draws, ParaDrive seats.
Suspension, LR tank and 3inch Beaudesert exhaust all go on next week.

Reading in a diffrent 4wd mag, that in late 2009 or early 2010, the 70 Series will recieve an upgrade with a new dash which will include airbags.
We wait and see what they do.

[Steggz]

More! More More!!!!!

i love these trucks and i will be gettin' one, once i get rid of the runner. till then i'll just have to drool over Tuff 75's awsome truck, pure 4wd porn :D

[spearfish]

what sized snorkel heads are you guys running on your 76 series with the v8 D4D? the 3 or 3.5inch safari/airtec don't fit properly.

Hi Guys,

I bought a 3 inch mandrell bent system for my cab chassis and the flange on the pipe is hitting my cab when i go over bumps or corrigations. has any one had this problem before? is it normal and something that i have to put up with? any help or advice would be much appreciated.

I have a 76 series GXL on order due late September. Toyota rang me Friday to let me know that in august the new superseeded 70 series will be released and it will have dual airbags. This means a completely new dash layout. ARB suspect it will be similar to the hilux dash. If anyone else has any more infor on the changes pls let me know.

cheers

Can't wait to get myself one of these wagons!!!!!!!!!! and by the look of it by the time I do there will be a few half decent second hand examples around with all the trimmings!! Ahhh my 5 year plan...house with a garage and a 76 series wagon haha

When did they change the interior? Toyota website shows a new interior! The previous mag reviews criticise the 80's interior. The new one looks pretty good. Not over the top but neat.
