Model-specific workshop support
Toyota
Land Cruiser 78
Independent support for the Toyota Land Cruiser 78 (J78 Troop Carrier) before or after Morocco’s pistes. The workshop starts with the vehicle, symptoms, load and planned route—not a generic parts list.
Workshop scope
What deserves attention on this model
The Land Cruiser 78 has its own packaging, age profile and travel use. These focus areas guide the first inspection; actual work is agreed only after seeing the vehicle.
Cooling & fluids
Cooling circuits, hoses, belts, fluid condition, visible leaks and heat-related symptoms are checked before desert use.
Drivetrain
Clutch, gearbox, transfer case, shafts, joints, axles and abnormal play are assessed according to the platform.
Brakes, steering & bearings
Travel-critical wear, wheel bearings, steering play, hubs and braking behaviour are inspected before the next stage.
Suspension & load
Springs, dampers, bushes, mounts, ride height and load distribution are checked for corrugations, rocks and sand.
Body, chassis & rust
Chassis points, body mounts, corrosion, cracks and impact damage are assessed before welding, bodywork or paint is agreed.
Electrical system
Battery, charging, starting, lighting, wiring and obvious diagnostic faults are checked with the available workshop tools.
Platform context
What deserves attention on this model
The 80 Series is a strong expedition base, but age, heat and load make cooling, axle seals, wheel bearings and steering play useful pre-desert checks.
Checks before remote travel
Cooling performance, belts, hoses and signs of overheating
Front axle seals, swivel housings and wheel-bearing play
Steering box, suspension bushes and loaded tyre condition
Route-ready checks
Before the next piste
A loaded Land Cruiser 78 reacts differently to heat, corrugations, sand and long distances. Before departure, the following practical checks help reduce avoidable stops.
- Share year, engine, mileage, modifications and current location.
- Photograph leaks, warning lights, damaged parts and the loaded stance.
- Check fluids, cooling, brakes, tyres, spare wheel and recovery equipment.
- Discuss route, load, fuel range and parts availability before work starts.
