Turned out to be a wiring repair from before I owned it that failed. The EFI fuse location had melted at some point in the past and it was bypassed with an inline fuse but the wiring job failed. I could say it wasn't done very well, but it held...
If you’re locked already.
Lower gears
RCV 300m 30 spline axles
ARP hardware
Truss the front housing and add knuckle braces.
If you need more then that then it’s time for a Buggy.
Eaton’s disengage momentarily when going from forward to reverse or vice versa
OEM lockers are the only lockers that I know of that can be manually engaged and disengaged.
I had the 2LTE engine in a Hilux Surf many years ago with most of the issues you described.
Change all the glow plugs resolved my slow starting. Replaced the hose to the fuel filter as it was allowing air to bleed in.
The bad news - it sounds...
Thanks for all your help, @duncanrm !
At this point I've been driving for a week under normal / mild load (mostly highway with minimal change in elevation) and I have not lost any coolant. I'm inclined to agree that the coolant symptoms are...
For what it’s worth my rear diff breather is extended up into the rear quarter panel without issue. I have never smelled it nor have any of my passengers, including my wife who hates the smell of anything automotive.
I like to keep things simple...
Drove from Denver to Moab yesterday. I was following our trailer that's loaded for Cruise Moab so we were only doing 65ish over the big passes but I backed off on one of the strait aways to put some distance between myself and the trailer as we...
Rebuild #1 included larger Brian Crower valves, 33mm intake & 39mm exhaust according to the invoice from the now defunct engine builder/machine shop. The engine ran perfectly prior to the rebuild minus oil consumption, i.e. no HG failure or...
Diving in this Monday with some transmission work. With the shop mascots cheering us on, the trans was opened, changes were made and all has since buttoned up ready to hold some turbo power! :cool: Whoever figures out/designs how A/T's work...
Another one has been up and running for about a week now. @ttFJC brought his 80 down from MT. C&C Turbo, new injectors, new knock sensors, new O2's, full exhaust, new kickdown cable (yes we have those for the 343) since it was broken, a transfer...
AC line stays in the same place but... In the kit we supply the heatshielding for the downpipe. What the end user receives is 4 feet of 1/2 thick Heatshield armor and it is really awesome stuff. After following the guide to wrap the down pipe...
I'm confident that the product, delivery and performance will speak for itself.
Look everyone should be thankful that we have people supporting our hobby in a real, life/wage earning way.
I don't understand the "hater attitude", candidly its...
I tapped a threaded fitting into the thermostat housing and eliminated the rubber hose connection and removed all the stainless lines for the throttle body and ran the other coolant line to the cylinder head. Also think running hot coolant...
Yah this thread was supposed to be a review of the kit, but as I am installing I guess I will be addressing the short falls. There is a thousand ways to skin a cat and everyone’s opinions are appreciated even if they do things differently than I...
