Have you tried driving it with the front prop removed?

Not that it makes any big difference for the bidding here, but this vehicle was definitely serving in Ukraine.

All of the above sounds like a painful process of elimination… sorry for your troubles. The videos you posted yesterday were not only clunking but something also caused even the camera to jolt. So it isn’t just a noise but it’s actually a problem in the driveline. Are you completely confident...

Added to my bucket list 😉

The back looks really far in on that photo. Is it just the perspective?

I am no specialist on this, but I’ve been doing too much reading and digging on the subject of transfer cases and I believe that you are correct. All the non-PTO cases have the PTO gear on them nevertheless, and I know this because it means the drive gear has limited contact with the splines...

Generally I believe it is recommended/necessary to pop test your injectors after replacing the nozzles. In my case, time at home is my most precious commodity, so I accept taking a monetary loss when reasonable. In this case I ended up with brand-new OEM Denso injectors, complete with nozzle -...

Really bad fuel, must have clogged up injector pump. After running lots of LiquiMoly Diesel Purge through and letting it sit in the IP overnight it cleared up all the issues.

As part of trying to fix smoke problems with my HZJ76 earlier this year, I bought a set of brand new injectors since I didn’t have time to wait for a rebuild. Unfortunately it didn’t fix my issue (though since then I have fixed it!), but now I’m cleaning out my garage and would rather these go...

A bit unlikely to experience when buying a used rig, considering the failures seem to happen in the mid 1XXK km's or earlier. But nevertheless, somebody will at some point find a fire truck/airport truck/_______ with low km's and import it, and be left wondering what on earth could be wrong...

Re: tires I’d recommend to take another look at 235/85… I switched from 265/75 and am much happier. Not sure how much gravel driving you do, but without flares the 265’s absolutely demolish your wheel arches. Even the 235’s are better with some flares, I just used EZ-Flares which look great IMO...

EZ Flares from Amazon. Have them on both my rigs and they’ve held up great, even on tight overgrown trails.

Welcome! Nice rig, hope you get to enjoy it - though you’ll likely have some work to get there. Unfortunately Dubai has become a major centre for fraud - fake VIN plates, rollbacks (every one for sale in Dubai is around 100K km), and „restorations” in which they swap some trim parts in order for...

All right. Some more sleuthing has led me to what I’m almost 100% sure is the culprit. In 1999, Toyota started the R151F pairing with the split case for the 1HZ 70-series. Between 1999 & ~2003, the transfer input shaft (separate from the transmission output shaft on the R151F!) was...
