Because my gate was compromised from the day I got it, the adjustment has never been perfect. I took time to lubricate everything and adjust it. I hate squeaks, so if I adjusted it so it wouldn't it rattle and squeak, I would have to slam it...

Have you tried adjusting so you don’t have to slam? I don’t have to slam mine for it to latch, it latches very easily.

The early 80 series lower hatch is weaker than the later series. There is extra bracing inside them, the factory swingout revealed this and all later series got the bracing. Now, I may be going off memory on this but I’m pretty sure as I have...

Has anyone found a good solution for replicating Oak colored 80-Series floor mats with the OEM "Land Cruiser" embroidery detail?

Engine Mounts (cont'd)

Had a really good conversation with OTRAMM, he talked me off the ledge. I’m in the process of having my truck shipped to him for a second opinion. It’s only 53 miles away which is sweet.

Is the proprietor of "mechanics shop" Billy-Jo-Bob from Trannies-R-Us or a Toyota Certified Master Technician? It kinda matters. A new engine would be stipulated if Trannies-R-Us isn't able to make rent this month. Otherwise, a misfire could be...

Tore down and cleaned.

Hello, new here. I just got a '94 Land Cruiser with 150K Miles in very good shape other than the previous owner mauled the door cards to put in some crappy paper 6.5" speakers. Anyway, I redid the door cards using 1/8" ABS plastic with some 1/8"...

Seeing my shop stinks of gear oil I decided to tear into a spare xfer. Spool welding time. I’m also playing with the idea of lever operated xfer engagement. This thread New Mod - Locking centre diff using transfer shift lever (no electronics!)...

Decided to 👀 inside……. Not what I was expecting to see, oh well. It will be a full bore job now, need a countershaft.

Made a panel for auto to manual conversion. Cheers

did you see or hear something go over your head

sheesh, welded races? why remove the woolwax? it's been protecting the undercarriage after all!

Heavy parts are finally in and nut and bolted home for good (fingers crossed at least.). Power steering done. FJ80 high pressure line Reused the paper clip cooler to a soft line on up and around with the pressure line up to a 100 series...

No PPI would go to the level of detail to fully disassemble both knuckles to find spot weled trunion beairngs and hammer marks on the backside of the WMS Buying a used 30 year old Cruiser is not for the small pocketbook!

What snark has here been in this thread? What unhelpfulness? What ignorance? Jerks? Who? Mark...

Very unexpected, albeit delayed, ending to this. I got contacted by Jim at OK4WD about 2 weeks ago saying- "We read your post on Mud, we’re sorry it happened, we stand by our clients, our salesguy Chuck is an idiot who should have made it right...

If you have 12v power in your vehicle, you're good, and even unpowered it has more effective braking than a failed vacuum booster.

Do yourself a fav and lower tank a few inches, clamp above tank needs removal, yea you can struggle to do it without lowering but it’s easier to disconnect driveshaft and lower tank!

How about the $185 price difference for the Lokka vs that one? Easy choice for me, every cent counts, and before the “gotta pay to play” bull**** happens then….

Said i'd post more pictures, the shifters are sorted. This is the first prototype that fits up to a new venture gear box. The next one I'm setting up is for a factory manual 80 series. Cheers

Has anyone purchased a PT spool from Lokka.com lately? The Australian site told me they don’t ship to NA and I have to contact Lokka.com for NA purchases. I did but no reply from them. Thanks

Make your own, these will help. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/quickcable-1-0-battery-terminal-compression.1370675/

I bought this relay, Warn unit, but ended up fixing the OEM unit.
