Toyota Land Cruiser Specs and maintenance.

Hey all,

Does anyone know of a good web page for the specs for a 1993 Land Cruiser? I am looking for page with specs like timing at sea level and altitude, plug type, points gap general maintenance etc etc.

I use a cruiser in Ecuador for my tours and do not trust the local mechanics so I want to double check everything they do .

Thanks in advance.

Joe.

PS If you are ever in Ecuador let me know as I know this country like the back of my hand and would love to show you around, plus I have a 4x4 for fun adventures! You can contact me direct at info@ola-adventures.com or check out my photos here

Try IH8MUD.com - "The Truth is in the Rocks". But you'll have to be more specific as "1993 Land Cruiser" doesn't mean anything to these guys.

here you go

(there it was a guy called Miguel near the airport who used to do most of the overland trucks, -don't know if he's still there- maybe he knows some decent Toyota mechanics, then again... for 3us$ per hour we can't really expect japanese quality workshops...)

cheers

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
