Took some photos.

Tech said the outer seals had been cut so water and dirt were able to get in. I also don't think the previous owner(s) used the proper grease. Thankfully, the Axles look great!

My weekend: ( CROSSPOSTED to my Baseline Build Thread which has all of the photos at post #69) Full Front knuckle rebuild Front Wheel bearing replacement (x2) Front spindles replaced (x2) Birfield replacement (x2) Calipers replaced (x4) Rear...

And change out the head gasket. 😜😁

While you are doing the front crank and oil pump, highly recommend going ahead and pull the exhaust manifolds and doing the oil cooler while you are in that far… also a great time to either rebuild or replace the PS pump if you haven’t done so...

It really is a good Idea to drop the Spare Carrier Out and Fluid Film under all of it or you may not be able to someday. Grease sure won't hurt.

Driving the heck out of it now that it’s running like it should. Next I need to drain and fill the PS, Brake, Diffs, Transfer case, transmission, and coolant. Then do the front crank seal and oil pump seal.

I put the LX 450 to work with the trailer this weekend while enjoying some serious model railroading. I transported 5 Freemo modules over to Cornfield 10 in McLean, IL while assisting my friends of the Illini Railroad Club. The IRC is the oldest...

If you think his parts were priced good you should find a real dealer to buy from, save you bunch money and you get the parts you bought.

Shedannigans

Got both axles and all linkage pulled. Used the @TRAIL TAILOR press dies to get all bushings out. Worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY to have the correct dies. Getting everything ready for sandblast, then doing blitz black on everything with an epoxy...

Over the weekend I finished up a seat heater install (Just in time for warm weather 🙄) and painted and installed an aux speaker for my comms radio. I have a 96 with manual seats from a 94. I went the easy route and put the heater under my...

You can JB Weld it 😜

Welded up, painted and installed my Huddexpo crossmember-skid plate. Very happy with the added protection.

Installed a compact mini air line reel…

New fuel pump And drained out the old regular fuel for some fresh premium.

Did a little science project! You can definitely pull the timing cover with the head and upper oil pan on. Pretty straight forward, pull all the cover bolts and the 2 nuts and one bolt on bottom of timing cover, bolt is front driver corner of...

Installed the summer wheels/tires

If you do have a parasitic draw you'll need a multimeter to run it down. Disconnecting the negative terminal and measuring the amperage between the terminal and the post will let you know how bad the draw is. Then it's down to removing fuses and...

Fixed the horn, toot toot, and finally put on the 285/75/17s and fifteen 52s! Also put up the carport shade as it’s getting hot out already.

I posted some pics of my ‘92 fresh out of the paint shop a couple of weeks ago. Since then I reinstalled the rack, jack, lights, and ladder. About all that’s left since paint is re-spooling and reinstalling the Warn EVO winch. I’m switching from...

Same thing (except front bumper was off) 3mo later😎

My 94 always ran like a scalded dog when it had the 1fz. Here is the last pull before pulling in shop to do engine swap. 315s, stock gears, stock bumpers on. Magnaflow muffler. CEL for o2 sensor. I honestly think a lot of people’s issues with...

I often see people in the forum comment on how much of a dog their 1FZFE is. Well here is a video of mine. Dead stop to 50mph. Engine is new (not rebuilt, new) 16,000 miles ago. Stock gears and 315’s, no other mods, elevation is about 2,500ft...
