Very informative and enjoy your vids as usual. Had a good old laugh at the comments of people advising you that you could also adjust hand brake behind the cup holder ! After all , “didn’t you mention this in your video “lol🙄
Thanks mate, I appreciate the kind words. I often find people will comment on a video without actually watching all of it. The sign of the times I guess. Cheers 👍😎
Great video! One comment is that the lever end adjusting nut (that you access after the star wheels are in the right position) on the two 200 series I've owned is under the cupholder, and the cupholder comes out by pulling straight up (no screws or anything holding it down). Yours didn't need that adjustment, and you just mentioned removing the center console in passing. It is very easy to access. Again, great how to. Thanks for posting it for all of us!
Hi Terry, Great vid as usual. Hand brake adjustment in my cruiser is under the cup holders in the centre. Your cruisers looking great and this will be my go to vid now. Haha between you and Jamie you both have our backs and not to mention the serious coin saving. Cheers Eric.
Love the vids man. For the fine tuning of the hand brake in my 2012 GX is located under the cup holders. Always looking forward to watching more vids from ya mate.
Thanks Jaffa great info. Had lots of Toyotas but never had a problem with the handbrakes like everyone one says. Like any other cars they need maintenance
You’re dead right mate, maintenance is key on these especially given the crap design. You must be one of three people who own a landcruiser and have never had a problem with the handbrake 😂. Cheers mate😎👍
Nice video mate. Really enjoyed your presentation style, very clear and informative. Due to do this on my 100 series very soon should be a good refresher. The cruiser handbreak has a bad reputation but I think alot of it is due to poor maintenance and adjustment.
Thanks for the kind words Bradley, I sincerely appreciate it. I agree a lot of problems are due to poor maintenance and adjustment. That coupled with the abysmal design of the handbrake itself means they rarely work well. Have a great weekend mate😎👍

Great Video. I had to figure it out by myself when I readjusted my wheels brakes a half year ago. Was still to loose but since my 200 is a manual I can park in 1st gear… half hour ago I set the staarwheel again two clicks closer. Will seenif it works and if not I’ll need to order a new set of brakes…
Thanks for the kind words mate, I sincerely appreciate it. The handbrake on these are ordinary at best, I trust you will be able to get s little bit better performance out of yours but it will never be fantastic. Good luck mate😎👍
Thanks mate, I appreciate the kind words. As for the bonnet, I fabricated it myself. Here’s the final episode of a 7 part series detailing how I did it, and the results.

Thank you kind Sir. I think perhaps the 79 is similar. Good knowledge to have. Only saw one person all day and he was on a tractor doing fencing. I wonder what the poor people are doing ?
Mate, that hoist has been the hands down best “tool” I have ever purchased. I bought the spring tool from stupidcheap but all auto parts stores would carry them I suspect. They are pretty common. Thanks for your kind words ask for watching mate😎👍
Hey Terry, great video once again!! To adjust the cable inside the cab, do you just remove that one piece around the handbrake or the whole thing needs to be removed? Cheers & Thanks.
I found the handbrake adjustment under the pop-out cup holder assembly. But after new brake and rotor install, and adjusting the e-brake shoes, that handbrake does not have much stopping power. The shoe pads themselves still looked okay….maybe just old?
If you replaced the rear disc/drum assembly I would say the handbrake shoes have not bedded in to the new drum yet. Try driving slowly and applying the handbrake a few times to bed them down. Then readjust them again to take up the free play and see if that helps. Cheers👍😎
I have the same issue with my LX570 and have to adjust the starwheel in the rear once a year. I do notice that on my Lexus GX (Prado 120) the rear parking brake has an auto tensioner that keep it adjusted as the rear parking shoe wears. Why don't Toyota put that auto tensioner in the 200 series so we don't have to manually adjust the rear parking starwheel every year?
I just done new shoes and hardware on my handbrake on my 80 series. Luckily LSD diffs dont work on 80s so it made it a little bit easier. I think im the only bloke in ozzie with a 80 series that has a handbrake haha!
Good video mate. I dont have a 200, I just wanted to see how it compares to a 80 series. It's a similar concept, just the operating mechanism looks a little different, which you didn't really show. "Keep The Shiny Side Up" made me cringe at the end... Did Pat Callinan steel that off you...😏
You should back off the hand brake cable in the cabin before you adjust the back the leaver should come up half way when finished or it’s over adjusted
@@JafffaAdventures thanks mate m8 worked out fine, mine is 2010 Prado. Both my disks were stuck so m8 were not able to get those disks released, I had to call for help and the mobile mechanic had to get the disks cut off because it was apparently suck solid. Now I'll have to put two new disks and fit new handbrake shoes 😔
I think I got it from stupidcheap but they all carry them. I do rate them as a handy tool, but if do brakes very infrequently you won’t use it for anything else. Thanks for watching Bradley😎👍
Very informative and enjoy your vids as usual.

Another informative video on maintaining the vehicle. Cheers Terry.

Hi Terry,
Great vid as usual.
Hand brake adjustment in my cruiser is under the cup holders in the centre.
Your cruisers looking great and this will be my go to vid now.
Haha between you and Jamie you both have our backs and not to mention the serious coin saving.
Cheers Eric.
Good stuff Eric, and yes you’re dead right the adjuster is under the cup holder. Thanks for sharing mate, I sincerely appreciate it 😎👍

Awesome feedback mate, thanks for sharing. I sincerely appreciate you sticking with Jafffa, that means a lot to me James😎👍
Thanks for more information about the Toyota parkbrake service
My pleasure mate👍😎

Another good clip Terry as always. Cheers Steve
Very much appreciate it Steve, cheers😎👍
Repco has some thick black gloves that don't split. You look like you could use some.
You’re not wrong, I’m constantly having blow outs. Thanks for the tip😎👍
@@JafffaAdventures no problem. Great video too. easy to follow and see what is actually happening.
Thank you mate, I appreciate your kind words 😎👍
Hi Terry, great vid again. Sorry to ask but I didn’t see the part number for the rear drum rotors, could you please advise?
Cheers.
Thanks Dylan, I appreciate the kind words. I can’t remember the part number but it’s detailed in this video. Cheers👍😎.

No worries at all Mat, I’m glad it was of assistance. There’s a host of maintenance how to’s in the library if you’re interested. Go well mate😎👍
Great video! I’ll be doing those when I change the disks. Can I ask where you bought the bonnet from??

@@JafffaAdventures that is a solid effort not sure I have that much spare time on my hands. It does look awesome though
Cheers mate, it does take some effort👍😎
Thank you kind Sir. I think perhaps the 79 is similar. Good knowledge to have.
Only saw one person all day and he was on a tractor doing fencing. I wonder what the poor people are doing ?
I suspect the 79 is the same as well mate. Enjoy your touring😎👍
@@JafffaAdventures Sending PDF file shortly. :-)
Cool😎👍
Would appreciate a link to that dodgy looking spring tool if you have one? Love the vids! Totally jealous that you have your own hoist, very cool!
Mate, that hoist has been the hands down best “tool” I have ever purchased. I bought the spring tool from stupidcheap but all auto parts stores would carry them I suspect. They are pretty common. Thanks for your kind words ask for watching mate😎👍
Hey Terry, great video once again!!
To adjust the cable inside the cab, do you just remove that one piece around the handbrake or the whole thing needs to be removed? Cheers & Thanks.
Thanks mate. You actually access the cable underneath the cup holders. That single piece will unclip and you can see the adjuster from there. Cheers😎👍

Good question mate, I guess they need to keep up the tradition of crap handbrakes on the Landcruisers! Cheers

I think you might be right mate. Just wait a few weeks though, you will be just like the rest of us with no handbrake😂👍
@@JafffaAdventures 🤣. I'll give it a week max
Too right😂
How hard is it to replace the backing plate while in there?
Not sure mate, I never really took notice. Cheers👍
What do you use to clean the backing plate? Brake cleaner?
Yes indeed, brake cleaner was my go to. I actually use it quite a lot these days, more so than petrol which was my go to solvent. Cheers😎👍
Good video mate. I dont have a 200, I just wanted to see how it compares to a 80 series. It's a similar concept, just the operating mechanism looks a little different, which you didn't really show.
"Keep The Shiny Side Up" made me cringe at the end... Did Pat Callinan steel that off you...😏
The 80’s very similar to the 200 setup (and the 100 for that matter). They are all pretty crappy but it is what it is. Keep the dirty side down mate😉😎
En donde comprar la llave para sumir los resortes
I just bought the shoes at a local parts store here in Australia, but they can be found on ebay or other places very easily.
You should back off the hand brake cable in the cabin before you adjust the back the leaver should come up half way when finished or it’s over adjusted
Good call👍
Were did you buy that brake shoe retaining clip remover please great idea
Just got it off Epray but parts stores carry them as well. Cheers👍😎
@@JafffaAdventures thanks very good video also
@mytube449 thanks Scott, that’s very kind of you to say👍😎
what are the bolt size you used to push the rotor out?
I’m pretty sure they were M8x1.25 but that was a while ago so not sure. I do know they are the same size for 40’s, 60’s, and 80’s😎👍
@@JafffaAdventures thanks mate m8 worked out fine, mine is 2010 Prado. Both my disks were stuck so m8 were not able to get those disks released, I had to call for help and the mobile mechanic had to get the disks cut off because it was apparently suck solid. Now I'll have to put two new disks and fit new handbrake shoes 😔
Wow, that’s pretty stuck. Best you sorted it now than them letting you down on a track somewhere. Go well mate👍😎
Did you get your shoe retainer clip removal tool from Bursons?
I think I got it from stupidcheap but they all carry them. I do rate them as a handy tool, but if do brakes very infrequently you won’t use it for anything else. Thanks for watching Bradley😎👍
Thanks Terry for another useful video!
Bloody handbrake never works!😏
No worries Max, and you are spot on, even adjusted correctly the handbrake is crap😎👍
Thanks Terry top vid,Bloody Toyota h/brakes,what more can i say?😎
Thanks for the kind words Doug, I do appreciate it. I think the dude that designed the handbrake was promoted to the dpf department at Toyota😂😎👍
@@JafffaAdventures That's usually the case in all big companies!🤣🤣🤣
