Welcome to the forum, Kimbo63

Hi ForgeCreekFerals4x4 and welcome to the group. I live in the mountains of Panama and the old BJ and FJ40s are everywhere, doing most of the heavy work. They're amazing vehicles. Even more...

Good for you, sahloul. Welcome to the group.

Wow, lucky you! Welcome to the fray.

Welcome to the group, Graham.

Welcome to the group, Muzmanaut. Newbie here myself.

Thanks, jok06.

Muchas gracias!

but already ordered mine.

I'm in Panama (Central America)

As to why only one side will work, it's a mystery. The GR only has 68K km on it, so the key shouldn't be too worn by now, I wouldn't think.
Didn't receive a key fob :(
I'll check with the local...

The 2009 I bought came with a 3.0L diesel.

Thanks, Evil Twin. That makes sense.

Ignorant newbie here. Have a new-to-me 2009 Y61 GR (per the decal on the rear). What's the difference between the GU and GR models? Just trim?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, qwertytank.

Thanks for the correction. I'm learning something already :)

Seems that the problem the whole time was using the wrong key. Got 3 on a keyring with the car, but wasn't here for the handover. One key doesn't start the car at all, another only works when...

Yes, seems to be lots of information here!

Thanks, Happygu. I think that's a great idea. I'll try to find someone that knows how to do that. I'm mechanically and electrically inept :)

Just bought a 2006 GR with an Motorsports turbo timer installed. The Patrol changed into our hands while I was out of the country, so I didn't get the lowdown from the seller and now he's out of...

Yeah, I heard the roof rack costs you some in the fuel consumption dept., so mounting them underneath would probably minimize that compared to mounting above the rack. Thanks!

Thanks, hadn't thought about mounting it underneath the roof rack. Makes a lot of sense! Thanks.

How do folks usually mount the LED light bars? Guessing the most non-intrusive would be to mount them to the roof rack, but then there's more wind resistance and subject to breakage from overhead...

I charged the battery and hoped it would start but it didn't (new to vehicle). Former owner said I have to power off the ARB Turbo Timer before it will start. Sure enough, it fired right up. ...

Just joined the forum today. Bought a 2006 GQ Y61 recently, and know very little about it or offroading so have a steep learning curve ahead. Looking forward to digging through all the relevant...
