He wasn’t open to adjusting the price; €15,000 unfortunately isn’t an option. I’d rather invest that money into my FZJ80. It would be wonderful, but unfortunately there’s no option for replacement bodies, chassis, etc. This market is flooded with Prado versions. It’s a shame—I could really use a...

It's 50th Anniversary one. With rr diff lock and whatnot but still it was like watching Titanic documentary footage... When I asked the bodywork painter to give me an estimate based on the photos and videos I sent him, he said: “I wouldn’t do that, I have no need for such a job.” That means I...

I’d love to buy it, but I’m scared. Even if they gave it to me for free… The question is whether it can be saved, and at what cost. The thing is, there are none of these where I live, and one shows up maybe once every few years. This is a 2001 HD-FTE automatic with 230,000 km on the clock. It’s...

Bought it yesterday for my old man. Old man and his RAVA. He was and still is very happy with it.

It seems that the bearing on the differential failed, causing slack or "free play" (picture 2 at #23), which then broke the teeths and everything else. Unfortunately, I didn't realize the issue with the differential in time.

Can you name me some reliable non -Toyota sources and I'll check the options and the total cost and have that on the table as well, Thanks all, this community never stops to amaze me, God bless you all!

The cost of this job is the only reason. But I just sent Toyota a list of differential parts that I would need to replace, and I'm waiting for a price check. If the price is even remotely acceptable, I'll go with that option. Marlin Crawler is also an option for me, but then I would go for both...

That was my plan before this option came up, but when I took it apart, I was hoping it would only be the ring and pinion and the bearings, but there’s a lot more minor damage, and I’ll need quite a bit more parts. Something like all of these.

Here is everything I have. Of course, I would check before making the payment, but now that you mention it, I see that the profile picture of the person selling it shows him in a car with racing numbers on it, so it's probably been used quite heavily... The alternatives are almost nonexistent...

Hello all, I owe you the conclusion, so here it is. In the first four pictures, I tried to briefly highlight the damages, and it's clear that the entire differential needs to be replaced. I haven't had any luck finding another one until today, when hope arose from a neighboring country where...

https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/fzj80-motor-tick.125484/post-12846534 Ah, that sound has a history on IH8MUD, and it's mentioned in several places. Here's a link to one of them. I’ve given up on it for now since it’s not the valves, and in the meantime, I also replaced the seals under the...

Yes, everything is pretty much like that. The balance plates from the driveshaft fell off four years ago, and there were no signs that the driveshaft was out of balance. I changed the oil in the differential at an authorized service center, which has since lost its license :) so I don't know...

It is a K295 9.5" lsd

Thanks for the responses. The car is an FZJ 80 VX-R 1997 GCC model, manual part-time 4WD. It has an H4 switch on the dashboard and a 2H-N-4L on the transfer case shifter. I recently changed all the oils in the front and rear differentials, the gearbox, and the transfer case, which is where the...
