    Noise on startup. Any concerns?

    So maybe under tensioned since the belts are only a few years old? Would that make sense that the sound goes away when its up to operating temp?

    Well I sprayed some water on the belts and the sound immediately went away… Thank you very much for that tip!

    Noise on startup. Any concerns?

    Drive belts and fan clutch were replaced a few years ago. Power steering pump is original and does leak a bit. Running 20w50 as that is what my mechanic recommended when we did the top end work. That is Toyotas recommendation for my temp range for everywhere in the world but the USA. Ill...

    Noise on startup. Any concerns?

    Other than that startup sound, she is well behaved, no noise at operating temp and no noise at throttle and drives very well, stronger than before the head gasket failure and stays cool throughout quite a bit of load. She is just quite a bit louder than i can remember on start up but Ive also...

    Noise on startup. Any concerns?

    The entire chain assembly was replaced when I did my head gasket. This is a truck that is not driven daily and sits for about 1-2 weeks at a time. Ambient temps can range between 30-110 throughout my year. I feel like like its been louder on startup over the winter months.

    Agreed Baldilocks, I have used their services many times. A fine service that I very much recommend. My oil is clean and nothing in the oil points to anything.

    Noise on startup. Any concerns?

    Adding to this a bit. This a cold start only sound. Really hoping this is not a knock . It quiets down immediately when warm. The fan is really fast on cold start and settles down once the timing is normalized with the oil pressure build. I could be way off there though. Just a thought.

    And this is after she is warmed up to around 185. Running 20w50.

    Noise on startup. Any concerns?

    Gentlemen, I have noticed a bit of a noise on cold startups that does not go away until I completely reach operating temp. I have read quite a few threads on startup noise/rattle relating to the timing chain and oil pressure. Most of those threads had comments about the sounds dispersing after...

    door check strap breaks window runner

    Sorry for the thread resurrection but does anyone have any ideas why the door check would be hitting the window channel? My door was popping a bit so I took a look inside and noticed the door check was hitting the window channel. Unfortunately it twisted the channel a bit and broke the welds...

    Rigd Ultraswing installed

    It does not move around at all. It has anti-wobble features built in that work very well. I can stand on it and bounce up and down and there is absolutely no movement. It feels very solid and has now been on my truck for over a year with no issues. Yes, departure angle is impacted but not in a...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Nice little trip to Voyager Rock campground at Courtright reservoir for some paddling.

    Soft Tailgate upgrade

    Here is how I ended up improving mine. I cut some stainless doublers (one on inside of tailgate too) and machined a bolt with a hole for a cotter pin. The zip ties up top keep the cable in a position where it will not get stuck.

    All rear seats delete and add new floor.

    I used this system for a 3 seat configuration. https://www.goose-gear.com/collections/toyota-land-cruiser-80-series-lx-450-1991-1997/products/stealth-sleeping-package-toyota-land-cruiser-1991-1997-80-series

    Soft Tailgate upgrade

    I was able to get mine working today. The lower bolt that connects the damper to the tailgate is tough to keep straight and at 90 degrees to the damper. The force from the tailgate drop wants to pull it up as that sheet metal is pretty thin in that location. You can tweak and manipulate it a...

    Soft Tailgate upgrade

    I tried to install my new kit today with no luck either. Same issues as the previous few posts.

    Rigd Ultraswing installed

    I have not seen any 80 series with the Rigd Ultraswing on them so here are a few pictures of my newly installed Ultraswing Mega fit. It is definitely solid. It looks really nice from the rear angles in my opinion but from the sides you can tell it sticks out a bit. I purchased it because I was...
