Saved for Part 2

Hey Dudes, If you've ever wanted to know how to rebuild your L45, L50, or L52 manual transmission, here's your chance. This is Part 1.

Here's Part 2:

Dudes! If you have the 2.7L 3RZ-FE Engine paired with the 5-Speed W59 Manual Transmission, you might be interested in watching this 2-Part Series. This is Part 1. Part 2 will be out soon. I hope you Dudes like it. Happy Wrenching!

I made a video for this job with my buddy Vincent.

Hey Dudes, If you're in need of a Steering Rack Replacement, this video will help you get the job done. I did hear there was an extensive write-up on this forum regarding this job, something like 50 pages of it. I actually haven't seen it myself, but have heard references and tips people...

I don't think a 100 Series is any better or worse maintenance wise. I do think the 2UZ-FE engine is superior to the 5VZ-FE in longevity. The achilles heal of the 5VZ is the heads. They are knows to crack. I told my buddy about the radiator hose. Thanks for the heads up.

Hey Dudes, If you ever needed to swap out your power steering pump and/or hoses, this video would help you out.

You're very welcome. That's great to know my videos inspired you to keep your rig. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for doing the comparison for us. At least we know they are identical in dimension now.

Come on Dude. You didn't say anything negative or insulting? I'm not a brain surgeon but I can certainly read between the lines and get the gist of what you're inferring. You first label my thread as a "For Sale" thread when it's nothing of the sort. The "Purpose" of my video posts is to...

I'm not sure they are 100% the exact dimensions of the plastic tees. I am assuming the fitting diameters are the same or Cruiser Patch wouldn't recommend them as a replacement. If the diameter of the fittings are the same, the tee is going to be pretty much the same as the plastic tees...

Ok, fair enough. Brass tees weren't Original Equipment for 100 Series. It's a brass version sold by Toyota/Lexus that has the same dimensions as the OEM plastic tees. It looks like the brass tees sold by Cruiser Patch are OEM for a 60 Series.

Yep, that's 100% what I'm all about, selling stuff. It's why I spend so much time researching, filming, and editing projects. It's all about making sales. Cruiser Patch is a start-up land cruiser parts supplier. I met him at one on my Timmy the Toolman parties in Atlanta, Georgia. I live...

Ok, so the massive cast iron engine block has coolant passageways in it. Iron can have a galvanic corrosion reaction with aluminum. So, why did the Toyota Engineers pair an Iron block with aluminum heads? So, with that fact, do you still think those tiny brass tees are going to have an...
