Hello fellow LC enthusiasts. I have recently installed a 3.5 in lift on my LC. When driving, I feel steering wander. I also hear this noise when turning left and right. I don’t know what this is. Hopefully one of you guys can help. Video of vehicle ⬇️

Hello, I have a 94 LC that has an oil leak. From what I am seeing, oil is appearing from in between the head and block. I had recently overhaul the engine and replaced almost every gasket (head gasket included) about 3 months ago. I doubt it is a head gasket failure but I ain’t no expert 🤷‍♂️. I...

Hello all, I recently took my 80 to a shop to get it aligned because I had just recently installed the lift kit. Prior to the alignment, the vehicle was wandering a lot and was very sketchy to drive, mainly because of the front tire rod ends were completely clapped out. I had them install new...

That is what I was meaning

I’ll get to the point Recently completed a head gasket job on my 80 series fzj80. After adjusting the distributor and the throttle position sensor, the car runs an idles fine. However, when attempting to drive it for the first time, a vehicle seem to bog down a little bit when put into drive...

Video of vehicle crank Hello everyone, this should be my final update of my head gasket, rebuild journey. I have bolted everything up and tucked everything in and went for a crank. Everything cranks, but doesn’t start. I try swapping batteries for one that wasn’t sitting outside a vehicle and...

Keep me updated

Does anyone know how to install these hard lines? I just bought a new head and new hard lines to go along with it. It appears that it just gets hammered in but I wasn’t sure if I needed to ad some sealant inside before I installed them. Thanks in advance.

Managed to remove it by taking out the upper and lower oil pans. They were not fun but I got it done.

The head is off

The timing cover

If I remove the studs from the upper oil pan, wouldn’t I be able just to pull it out from there instead of removing the upper oil pan completely?

Is there a reason the stupid thing isn’t coming off? I took off all eight cover bolts removed the AC condenser bracket am I missing anything else? I’ve tried to lightly pry it off but its very stuck.

UPDATE: The key to success is to use a 3/4 in breaker bar and socket with a cheater bar attachment. I used the head of a hammer to lock the crank using the flywheel holes. Disclaimer to using the hammer, please make sure to put a folded rag around the back of the hammer to prevent the end of it...
