Good idea about recording in the engine bay, I’ll work on that next. Thanks for the help.

Moly grease in the knuckles basically as often as I think about it, definitely every oil change, moly on the drive shaft slip joints, non moly for the needle bearings in the dog bones so they don’t slide, axle and birf rebuild 15k ago, thanks for the reply, but it’s not a mechanical...

No but that’s a good call

Ok! this seems like a likely culprit, we had a ton of snow here this winter (relative to normal St Louis winters) and some sub zero temps for a few weeks, the ABS light came on once when the wheels were slipping on ice, and I chalked it up to being a wheel speed issue because on the next start...

I grease the drive shafts every oil change, gear oil is in good shape. I change it every 20-30k

Power steering pump groans on occasion, and the system has been gone through thoroughly. The noise happens independent from any braking action whatsoever.

The noise is that strange mechanical whirring or groaning, in this case the car is rolling less than a mile per hour when it happens, so there is no road or tire noise. The reason I'm asking the forum is because is not like any other noise I’ve ever heard a car make. It’s almost like a pump...

Sorry all. But it only happens once so getting the video is really difficult. The specific noise happens at the 1-2 second mark, it happens only once, or did until recently. Start the truck, release the brake, roll forward 1-2 seconds, noise happens, never again until I turn the truck off and...

Can anyone help diagnose or point me in the right direction for a weird noise the mechanic hasn’t heard before? Usually happens immediately after moving forward after the car starts up.

I saw pics of your 80 and those bumpers look awesome! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. How do you like them now that they’ve been installed for a while? Really into them, and I’ll probably be headed down that way to pick up a set of my own!

no magic dial I'm afraid and the boards were previousely removed at some point, but it has sliders now which I feel is an upgrade. I love KC, I met my wife while we were both there for college at Rockhurst, lots of my life spent having fun in that town!

hello! This is a long shot because people love these bumpers, but I am interested in buying a Hanna quality bumper for my 96 lx450 (80 series landcruiser) shoot me a pm if you have one you are willing to part with! Must be in good straight shape. You can also email me at...

That’s where I’ve been taking it for about the past year! Totally agree, awesome, honest, mechanics who really know Land cruisers.

Awesome thanks for the info, I’ll talk to axleboy and see what they have to say.
