I have the 10% underdrive in my tea case as well as the low range reduction gears. I have 4.88 in the front and rear diffs with 35 inch tires. Even with 35 inch tires it’s still a little lower geared than stock. My speedometer is 7% high so is my gas mileage and everything else. So at 2600 RPM...
Yes, here is the update. Regardless of temperature or speed. I cannot hear any audible wine from my transfer case whatsoever. I do have the 3.1 low range gearset as well as the 10% high range reduction set. I do not know if this is because I cryogenically treated all of the internals and did a...
You ever make that chop? I’m going to do mine … and chop the last few inches of the frame then re weld or bolt the cross member further forward. Looking at a custom rear bumper to fit in there nice n tight. Ditching the tow hitch and going for a better departure angle.
Before you take anything apart ... I just want to point out that there is a weight load limit on the AHC to move from N to H or from L to N. You put 720 Lbs or 326Kgs of fuel in the back of the truck and the overall weight capacity of the truck is 1200 lbs total or 544Kgs and that includes the...
Yup, as these guys said - not ideal to lock up the differentials when on high traction surfaces like pavement. The rear diff for example (if equipped) allows each rear wheel to rotate at different speeds. When you make a U-turn, the inside wheels do not rotate as fast as the outside wheels...
Following … I don’t think Landcruiser Phil is still making that kit so I’m going this route. I live in a very hot climate and this truck has never really been able to run cool while idling for very long, even after changing pretty much everything related to the cooling system. If I got front and...
Another good thread about this exactly - 'replacing rear ac lines- 100 series suggestions and observations'

Following along … just found an AC line leak in the same exact spot as everyone else behind the front passenger tire. At first I was hoping it’s an O-ring but I don’t think that’s the case. So depending on where my hole is, I might just splice the line and then before next summer I’ll replace...
The VVTI models have a proclivity towards vapor lock. There’s really nothing that can be done. Change all the fuel pumps and fuel filters and regulators and wrap the fuel lines and heat shield that you want. If you live in a hot climate, these trucks are not suited to that. Just something you...

@bj70bc I don’t know if welding in that would work because it’s the threads on the inside of the nut that seem to be stripped so it’s just spinning. I think cutting it might work maybe. I have an impact driver and I might be able to source a small cutting wheel down here somewhere or …
Getting...
I snapped an axle down here in Baja … good news is I have a spare. Bad news is that when I was taking the cotter pin out of the castle nut on the upper control arm ball joint, the pin broke. I got most of the pin out, and being a complete idiot, I am, I thought I could just take the castle nut...
It seems I would have to do some kind of air injection bypass on my 06 VVTI … then I’d have to Fab some kind of block off plate to block the holes where the air gets injected back where the headers connect. Has anyone tried this? If I wanted to upgrade my exhaust system on a VVTI? Seems like a...
@ClassyJalopy I left Lakeview Campground near Taylor park reservoir and did Taylor Pass (5 level of difficulty IMO, some decent boulders, but I have seen guys pull overland trailers through there) then did Pearl Pass southbound after that which was a bit harder but not crazy. I could have done...
@rslimbers did you ever get this resolved? When I put my 35s and bead locks on, I had a little bit of an intermittent steering wheel shake now and again. For me, it turned out to be that my tire and wheel package came with balancing beads, but the knuckleheads just threw the entire bag of...
If anyone is looking for the part number for the cone washers .... 42323-60030. For some reason was difficult to find for me. But then again that is not really saying much. For the 100 series 1998 to 2002 it seems Dr. Yota has a different part number 42323-60010 but I am not sure what the...
Curious … after supercharging did you find the cooling setup you did here was adequate? Thinking about going this route before I supercharge the truck.
