I was thinking maybe I would just grab a new 3rd member to setup new gears so I could do a quick swap, I noticed that Yukon has made a 8" RR High Pinion 3rd dropout housing. I see that it says:
"Yukon heavy duty dropouts feature upgraded materials and a larger design than OEM to provide heavy...
Looking at a home in Spokane WA, and this one has an 8 car garage and in the video there is an 80 series with a soft top setup. Deflared, repainted, blacked out chrome, etc. Is the owner on Mud?
Not affiliated in any way but I was looking at Nitro and Just Diffs websites and they are selling 4.88 front Ring and Pinion for $80 and the Rear 4.88 Ring and Pinions for $94. That is a $424 savings from the normal price...
Just a heads up, I am not sure if I have seen this mentioned else where and I know the Duratrac's get a bad rap from some for having light sidewalls but I have used and liked the tire for quite a while. It is lighter than many of the other 315's by as much as 7%-22% and I feel like that helped...
Not sure if this has been posted but thought it’s worth mentioning. This is the second Navtec 80 series I have seen with the housing broken off right at the bracket for the panhard on the passenger side. While the Navtec 80’s see a lot of off-road mileage none of it is particularly hardcore...
I know this can be an issue and a lot of people fight with the crank bolt. There are several methods like using a long 14mm socket on the back of the engine, or chaining the pulley, this this way is so much easier!! This is the only way I expect my mechanics to do this job going forward.
This is probably a "your guess is as good as mine" post, but sometimes when I am ordering parts I am given options for the parts to come out of the UAE, Japan, Central America, etc. And then the other day I read a post from two fairly well versed toyotaholics that the same part, same part...
Hey guys I know this has been asked and I am just not finding it. But I am looking for the 100 series style of rear diff gears where the face of the teeth are longer than the 80 series. Also a 105 or 80 front diff gear set to match. In a diesel friendly ratio of 3.55. I am pretty sure I have...
Haven't finished the video so I don't know what it makes, but looks like it is in 2wd. I would hope around 225whp? Could be interesting to those considering a swap.
Saw a pretty cool tan 55 in Salt Lake City this after noon. Looked to be an early model. Rear window was replaced with metal and had sand ladders mounted there. Had some rusted out rockers and rear quarters. Sounded like a fairly healthy V8. I was rushing to work so no pictures but cool truck!
Well it might not actually be dead but I have been to 3 Toyota dealers in 2 different states and they have all told me they no longer carry Toyota red coolant. And that I can just go to the auto parts store and get any Euro/Japanese pink and throw it in. So I guess after this winter it’s...
So my move to SLC has not been great, for land cruisers. Black truck door was wrecked, still not repaired. Grey truck was illegally towed 3 days ago and then I walk out to this today.
Ok so I am sure I am going to get lambasted for writing this post without first spending a couple hours searching, but unfortunately I am not all that bright and what could take me a couple hours are probably fairly easy questions for you 200 aficionados.
So I am looking at consolidating a...
Yeah it is a patrol, but patrols and 80's look a lot alike. I am usually not one for the truck conversions but this one looks pretty good. I think someone should do this. lol
