Wow the replies in here, didn't think I'd get this much attention on this topic, based on what I've seen with everyone in here having their own experiences, with a well maintained LC and away from steep grades and not going long distances everything tuned in it wouldn't be preferable, but also...
So realistically, upgrading and updating the cruisers brake system, and making sure I have a good working controller and good working trailer brakes are the main concern from what I'm reading. Correct?
I think Pete's idea of it being from the wanted sag of the rear for the stock brake setup, if that's removed and bypassed though the truck wouldn't require the sag anymore. Itd all test n theory for now, if someone came in here right now said hey I took my cruiser out with just about 5k in...
I've got a distribution hitch that lives on my Ford, would swap right into the cruiser receiver, adjustable height so would level out the trailer fine as well. I've been wanting to delete the abs and lspv anyways so maybe I'll do that first and drive around town with as it is and see how the...
Might be downgrading to a smaller trailer or upgrading to a larger rig, I've been spoiled having the 350 to tow with, but want my tow rig and my wheeler to be the same
I'm was thinking trans weak point, figured these diffs pretty bulletproof. But for sure I'm gonna go with 5k no matter motor to stay safe, looks like I'll be getting my trailer weighed.
Hey guys, I got a 95 LC can't find any pin point on the towing capacity for this thing. I have a full tow package for it but the stickers are all worn off. Trans is on it's way out so I'm debating doing an LS swap since I have both a 6.0 and a 5.3 laying around at my shop. Does anyone know what...
Hi guys, I got a 95, obd2, 343 trans, fzj80. 277k not account for the last 30k or so of bigger tires. Truck sat for about a month when I was doing some dailying and work on my vw. Had to jump the truck to get it to run, drove great 45 miles. Got off the freeway and felt like it was in second...
Not a bad idea, I might go to that down the road. Another reason i wanted to keep the center VC is to to back to stock configuration is a simple 20 minutes worth of hub swapping. I was gonna do a thumbs up emoji but I feel that woulda made me look like a sarcastic a** completely unintended lol
You know, smokey tire things. Not exactly the first thing you do in an lc but in the mud or dirt that's a fun thing, plus saying you made it through an obstacle in 2wd is pretty satisfying, also I did search a bit but couldnt find anything specific about the reliability of the vc when locked...
Slightly for a couple mpgs, but also a big reason is tuesday I have a rear lunchbox locker showing up and feel it would maybe be a little awkward feeling with an open front AWD and a rear mech locker. I've driven rear welded and rear locked vehicles before but never an awd with half and half...
Ah yes I have a 95, sorry bout that forgot to mention that part. So makes sense, i would never run the front and center unlocked as I knew that would burn up the VC, but my main concern is how reliable.is the center lock system when remained locked for long periods of time? I know it's not quite...
Hey guys, I think this is my first post on here. Yesterday I picked up a set of rebuilt AISIN hubs (stupid of me as I know I have some from my old 4runner somewhere in my garage). I put them on and they work great, but has anyone kept the center coupler for long periods of time? I would like to...
Reading this post was my workout for the year. Truly a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. Like any good movie the protagonist went through with their dream by the end of it!
