Thank you. Found the answer in RM183E.

I am seeking some assistance or a copy of the R151F service manual. There is a need to replace my front and rear transfer case seals :) I am seeking the correct torque setting for the lock nut. Any assistance will be appreciated.

Quick update - We ended up not selling our beloved Ramshorn. However, our truck ended up in a Samsung commercial featuring Emma Myers. The studio found the ad on Trademe (NZ online buying / selling platform) and things progressed from there. You can watch the clip here: As a family we...

Thank you @JuanJ

Thank you @JDM Journeys

A few more photos.

After a number of years, it is sadly time to say goodbye to Ramshorn, our awesome LJ78. I have attached a few photos regarding how it looks today, with the New Zealand TradeMe listing if anyone is interested. Thank you all on this forum for helping me rebuild my truck! Special thank you to...

Issue found - Was a loose earth connection on the PCB blue sheet at the back of the cluster. Seems it pulled away from the housing (old age and heat would be the culprit). Now I just need to find a permanent fix :)

I finally got to replacing my engine mounts, but on my first test drive a fuse link popped (battery terminal - black to white). Got the new fuse link in today, but there is a nasty short. Started disconnecting my ignition switch and alternator, but still no luck. I have removed all the fuses...

I have a question with regards to replacing the engine mounts on my LJ78 | 2LTE. Do I need to remove the mounting bracket (4 bolts) indicated with the red arrow from the engine or is removing the 3 bolts enough to remove the mount? Are there any other considerations I need to consider before...

Hi @Xando I can definitely guide you in the right direction. If you are looking for the rebuild kit minus the reservoir or piping, the part number is 04493-60230...

Not sure if there is an aftermarket option for this. In these cases, it is best to source from wreckers or Toyota spare shops. I recently swapped my transfer case, but unfortunately the sensor was missing on the newer one, hence I had to reuse my original one. They can break easily when the...
