What I would do depends on how I felt about the rig. If it seems reasonably solid mechanically, I wouldn't worry about anything more complicated than a jack and a spare. If it feels like it's on its last legs, same answer, but film everything and...

IME a commonly neglected maintenance item on "new to me" 80 Series is the lack of regular service (greasing) of U-joints, driveshaft slip yolks, and the steering knuckles (which lube the CV joints and spindle bushings). So on top of (already...

Yes, as long as Bubba the local mechanic never touches it.

^^^^ This !!!

I don't rotate often enough, usually don't notice front tire wear until it's almost too late. What I've been doing is buy 5 new tires and include the spare in the rotation. When this set wears out I'll buy 4 and keep the best of the previous...

Sorry I assumed (without reading) you had an 80. You're posting in the wrong forum.

With the front wheels off the ground but mounted, grab the tires at 0° and 180° (not top and bottom) and try to shake the wheel back and forth. Sometimes it's easier with just one wheel up at a time, if you don't have a feel for how hard to...

If the brakes were working fine one day and then poorly the next day, then either you have a fluid leak, or a component failure. If the brake pedal feels soft when you step on the brakes, then you likely have a fluid leak or master cylinder...

I always finish what I start Richard! The most treacherous part was the deep ass snow covering the paved road on the way to Truckee. I slid off into a gully on the left. Luckily my winch line was long enough to link up to a tree across the...

I think most people roughly measure from the center of the wheel hub, straight up to the wheel arch/fender

So the first samples of the intake adapter arrived today. The castings look great. A small issue with mounting them and a larger issue with plumbing them. Mounting issue was from the counter bores for the hollow dowels needs to be 7/16”. I...

You mean like this?

There is a member on here that has helped a lot of guys, I used him last summer to ship a rig from Vegas to Oregon. @Riverrunner maybe. I think his company is summit transportation.

Installed my new fuel tank. New rubber gaskets and hoses except the gasket for the added float switch for the sub tank transfer system. It was in ok shape and I used some fuel resistant gasket maker on both sides to keep it leak free. Then...

Hid away from people...

Drove to an undeveloped development to do some UMX flying.

Is the 2nd start button engaged?

"He's selling, not buying" Missed that part. OK, it's worth what you can get for it after you hype the aura of owning a Land Cruiser and focus on the aftermarket mods.

You have not described any symptoms of power steering issues. Why are you running the engine with the cap off the reservoir? That just makes a mess. The power steering system self bleeds and it's a pretty simple procedure. With engine off, fill...

Might want to rethink that. https://forum.ih8mud.com/search/43180523/?q=cruiserparts&t=post&c[child_nodes]=1&c[nodes][0]=352&o=date

Here’s a Toyota pump for. $299 . I’ve used Olathe Toyota for many orders. Great customer service and fast turnaround time...

You may continue to have problems with any of the aftermarket pumps from orielys/napa/autozone. Lots of threads on this forum documenting problems with these pumps. Get the OEM from Toyota and save yourself some headaches. This will be the third...

Agree, if you're going to replace anything while it's apart then do the distributor O-ring, oil pump cover gasket, and front crank seal at a minimum. Getting it clean first will make it easier to see where any other leaks/dye show up. Tip...

After you get it ALL clean, I'd replace the distributer O–ring, just because. It's not like it's expensive or time consuming, and yours is old anyway. This is the easiest stop–leak project on the engine. It'll be hard, without dye, to find a...

Short answer: Clean that area again, especially the area around and above the oil pump cover and at the seam where the timing cover and the block mate together. Include the power steering pump as there is an O-ring between the PS pump and the...
