    Best practices when installing a Driveshaft (Propeller shaft flange nuts, bolts, studs)

    So was in the middle of installing a new Toyota rear driveshaft (FZJ80) using new Toyota hardware and the thought came up, should we be using threadlocker, anti-seize, or nothing at all when using new hardware?? Checking the FSM there's no mention of using anything (anti-seize, threadlocker...

    Where to apply grease (and what type) when performing a brake service?

    Wanted to run this by the hive mind and put it all in one place as there appears to be at least 47 different methods (according to the internets) on how to grease your brake components (brake pad contact points, slider pins, pad support plates, anti squeal shims, emergency (parking) brake pivot...

    Full Float rear axle bearing lock nut plate modification (Plate, Lock nut 42428-60011)

    Here's a simple mod that's been in my brain for awhile so finally decided to go ahead and make up a modified rear axle bearing lock nut plate. That's the "washer" with four holes that fits on a full float rear axle spindle between the rear axle outer hub bearing and the lock nut/collar...

    Rear pinion flange nut part number 90179-22011 has been superceded to 90179-22016

    Just documenting this for future searches. IME the original rear pinion flange nut (at least on 95+ FZJ80's) uses a ~4mm thick plate washer as the original nut itself is not flanged. That original part number 90179-22011 (at some point in the past) has been superceded to 90179-22016 but the...

    How to center and adjust axial play when installing Univeral joints (U-joints)

    This is not meant to be a step-by-step how to do it thread, it's more meant as a place to discuss the correct (?best) method to install U-joints including the methods/procedures to center the U joints in the yolks and adjust axial play. There's plenty of videos on you-tubby showing people...

    Servicing your ignition switch

    This is something 80 owners may never have to do but as I had the panels off and had been working in that area (see Bilt4Me's "My Ignition Broke" thread) I decided to take a look at the guts of the actual ignition switch while it was still attached to the cowl harness. Here's a link if you...

    1993 1FZ-F 80 series (carbureted) 5-speed manual with 50,000 miles on BAT

    Pristine rust-free example originally owned by a Qatari Sheik (Al Thani), spent most of it's life garaged in France. Bidding is not too crazy, yet. Tech is that it is a carbureted 5 speed manual with factory winch. FWIW https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993-toyota-land-cruiser-fzj80-21/

    Can anyone on the forum 3D print (or cast) metal parts??

    Can someone 3D print this part?

    While working on my ignition cylinder rod (current thread, My Ignition Broke) I had to remove the lower dash panel that is below the steering column. On the left side (US model) of this panel are the mirror controls, on the right side is the hole for the ignition cylinder. Surrounding the...

    Which method did you use when re-installing (sealing) a differential to the axle housing?

    There's a poll attached to this thread. For the sake of clarity the poll is designed to ask how you actually resealed your differential(s) ie: what FIPG, RTV or gasket was used. Please don't vote if you haven't done the job yourself. However, if either of your differentials have been serviced...

    Rust flakes in rear axle housing and PM #33, check your rear axle breather

    Well, I got a surprise while doing a routine rear axle service on a FZJ80. Out of curiosity while the axle shafts were out I ran one of those telescoping pick-up magnets into the axle housing via the spindles not expecting to find anything. The right/short side had essentially no debris but...

    We all know how difficult it is to get axle flange cone washers to pop out when servicing either the front or rear axle. (Editing in process had to step away from the computer)

    Terrain Tamer Heavy Duty hub seals: anyone use them yet?

    Was watching some You tubby videos out of Australia and came across one discussing the Terrain Tamer HD hub seals. Apparently the seal rotates on itself instead of on the spindle with the idea to reduce wear which is particularly important on the rear spindles which are not replaceable. The...

    Replacement rear brake pads (80 series)

    Recently bought a set of Akebono ASP606a rear brake pads (Premium line) but after opening the box they seemed a bit smaller than expected so compared them to a set of new OEM Toyota replacement pads. The Toyota pads are a bit larger (surface area) even taking into account the bevel on the...

    PM # 17: check your exhaust system cushions

    Been discussed in the past and just recently so thought I'd post this up for those that haven't seen it yet. My 97 model FZJ80 recently started getting a new vibration for example while idling in drive, foot on brake, more apparent when the engine idled up with the AC compressor coming on or...

    Would this happen to an 80 series??

    Something doesn't seem right, the entire 300 Series body came off the frame in this accident?? Has anything like this ever happened to an 80 series?? Wonder if someone (after purchase) did some modification/alteration to the body/frame before the accident and forgot to bolt the body back to...
