i'm a proud papa, no lie. She enlisted her mom's help (lives a mile down the street) to come and help tear the top end down for a HG project on her 3rd gen Runner last year. Oh yeah, she built the bumpers on her rig at my house two years ago...
wow, i'm so impressed right now. I had to call my 20 yo daughter to come and help as I was so pissed off. I had to meet the fellas seven hours away in UT and was getting so angrier by the min. It was totally worth getting roasted by her while...
I'd scrub it some more with red scotch pads and a lubricant of your choice. Just grab a beer, sit inside the bay and just scrub away. It's therapeutic, and you'll have solved a lot of personal problems in no time. If you can purchase/borrow a...
i just did this project and purchased the same unit from City Racer as well.
I'd suggest going with an OEM unit because the old OEM unit will come out without lifting the engine up. A new OEM unit will go in the same way, but the one from City...
Hello everyone,
My name is Pedro and I’m a new member from Miami, Florida. I recently became the proud owner of a 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser 40th Anniversary Edition, and I’m excited to finally join the IH8MUD community.
I’ve always appreciated...
I didn't read the entire thread but are we seriously talking about swapping body/frame/whatever? Call this a loss and start over. Where did this poor 80 live? Good grief this is horrible, and not fixable, no matter how much you want to throw...
I'd replace both axle housings, seriously. That's horrible looking, yeesh. Welding (for a beginner welder no less) on a cancerous steel is begging for trouble. I realize your location would make it quite difficult to get a pair of housings...
I didn't read the entire thread, but I'd simply replace the whole exhaust from the downpipe, all the way to the tail pipe. I'd also get modern high flow cats made for your vehicle (federal EPA vs California EPA emission compliant), just so you...
Here is a summary of parts you may need for a RHD 80 series:
1 H152 transmission
1 Bell housing
2 block dowels 90250-08054
2 transfer case dowels 90250-12002
9 bell housing to trans bolts 91611-61045
1 bell housing to trans shorter bolt...
I'm not sure which part number this is, but I broke this clip when doing the booster replacement. I've circled the two potentials on the diagram, and wanted to confirm before ordering.
Thanks.
Yeah, that's why I said it's temporary until I redo the exhaust system. This will allow me to get the truck running, test everything, then make the necessary changes.
