OTRAMM

@OTRAMM actually volunteered to be my guest this week on the podcast. We talk about his own history with Land Cruisers, capybaras, and why sometimes buying an old shop 80 series might not be the best idea. I also find out that his name actually...

The connector in the fuse box may be worn out or corroded. If it isn't making a good connection it'll get hot from resistance. Id take a male ctimp terminal of the appropriate size and see how snuggly it fits in the fuse box side.

Not sure if anyone is interested but onX and Toyota are sponsoring a trail clean up on Oct 11 for Union Springs...

Before I fully broke down the diff, I did a pattern check on the gears which supposedly have more than a half a million miles on them. In order to hold the pinion flange I modified my @OTRAMM crank pulley tool for use with both front and rear...

Slow progress, basically starting from the rear panel and working towards the front. Hopefully won’t have to redo anything in the near future!

If you watch the video I did on the h55f swap, it's the piece I forgot and had to redo everything to install :)

Yeas, play is normal. The small plastic bit is the 5th gear oiler. It goes in a pocket on the transmission side of the forward t-case half. It makes a gutter and the little spout lands in the rear of the 5th gear bearing.

Been super busy with work so I’m posting a few weeks late, but took advantage of the tech day to replace my starter. Easily the most difficult job I’ve done and I’m so thankful to @OTRAMM for opening their shop and getting me to the finish line...

My 200 is on BP51 with SPC UCAs…I’ve had to replace the ball joints once already and yes, you guessed it…another failure. Looking to move away from SPC ASAP and wondering if there is a preferred option? Or perhaps another manufacturer to avoid...

Uploaded the latest podcast last night. Land Cruiser Chat Podcast Episode #8 - https://youtu.be/GZ7DfsMyVuw

Do you drive it for a lot of short trips and/or does it sit for extended periods?

OH HELL NO......... I'll refer ALL calls to you!

What BK said. You’d be good at this. You are way more patient than me…. 😂😂

I think this is a great idea Ryan - I hope others take advantage of it!

Thank you.

There will be a link in the first chat comment with a link to join the podcast. Similar to joining a zoom call. So far no one has actually tried it in the new software. The last few have just had write in questions and voicemails. In case it...

We get a lot of phone calls at the shop looking for tech help beyond our YouTube videos. While I love helping when I can it's really hard to drop working on a paying job to take help calls. The last few live streams folks have asked about one...

I've got them set up for Thursday's at 8PM EST for the time being. Livestreaming them on our YouTube channel.

I am doing this, this weekend, except with 4:1 gears.

printing out FSM pages, watching videos (thanks @OTRAMM and @orangefj45, you guys have the best ones out there), and collecting tools and parts in order to install the 3.3:1 low range and overdrive reduction gears into the transfer case. I will...

Compression tests on their own really don't tell you much. Cylinder leak down test will give much more information. You likely won't catch a leaking head gasket on a compression test unless it's a huge leak, which would be obvious by the...

New episode went live last night.

I need to clean it up and take a closer look, it looks like the threads on the housing stripped out. Planning to shoot a short video on it this afternoon.

Blew is an understatement!! I've never seen one spit the entire endcap out of the end of the housing!!

Awesome podcast. I’ve been listening all morning
