It's been a while since I posted a pic of my truck wanted to post some progress pics.

After snorkel new wheels and rhino rack also running duel arb awnings

Thought I'd share kinda loving the slow moving style of the 3fe let's you take it all in!!! Thinking of doing a smog delete soon and ditching the cat. Thoughts?

Here’s my old beat up 91. Needs everything. Hasn’t been moved in four years. I’ve already replaced everything vital, including but not limited to jonheld’s newbie starter pack!

I just got my first land cruiser. It is a 1992 with what seems to be a badly blown head gasket. I'm gonna start tearing into it soon and making a list of everything to replace when I'm in there. I'm gonna need some luck!

 

[mct75]

Good luck, @Technician1985!

 

[catfishhands]

Nobody ever wished me luck! Thank God for new parts day tomorrow tho! Sponsored by cruiserparts.net

hey guys. over 250k on my 92 and still going good. changing my waterpump this weekend and also have an egr delete to do. is my ck engine light gonna be on after that? I know with the 4runners there is a diode to put in a plug to fix that. not sure on the lc.

 

[mct75]

If your 80 is a California model you will need a jumper. If you didn't unplug a temp sensor you have nothing to worry about.

where would the jumper go? is it just a straight wire jumper and not a diode like the 4runners. thanks for the help

 

[mct75]

There's a small gray plug that should have been connected to the EGR, if you have a cali emissions 80. You short those wires together. No need for a diode or resistor, a straight jumper is the way Toyota does it on federal trucks.

I just got this 91 in partial trade for my built 97 lx. I really like it. I'm working out a high sporadic idle issue and a vac leak (I think I solved that one) which cause a confused set of symptoms!

248k
Awesome two tone original paint
2" ome
Arb winch bumper
4x4labs slider.

Cheers!

Well... looks like I need a replacement 3f-e! I will make a thread about my disaster of a truck...

What happened with that head gasket?

 

[Technician1985]

What happened with that head gasket?

Looks like it was probably more than the head gasket, I'll post some pictures tomorrow because it's hard to explain but it seems like the inside of the head is corroded. I'm not done tearing it down but it doesn't look promising.

I just picked up a 1991 with 116k original miles, all road, well maintained. I am pulling the 3FE and trans this winter for an LS swap, so the 3FE will be for sale. It's in Maine, so wrong coast, but I just had an axle shipped from California via Fastenal for $180, so shipping may not be a total show-stopper.

Ok very interested, it might take a little bit to get funds but if I could ship it for around 300 it could be worth it, PM me with an estimated price? Maybe interested in the transmission as well.

It's going to take me a bit before I get the motor and trans pulled, so timing isn't a big problem. The trans shifts and functions beautifully, but there is a large ATF leak from somewhere, so it will need seals.

That sounds good to me, I wasn't planning on putting the new motor in for a couple months at least, let me know what you're thinking for price and I can look into shipping costs. Would appreciate it! My trans seems to have a leak as well, I was just thinking if I had a chance at a lower miles one it would be worth rebuilding.

I want to do the same on my 91...especially the de-smog. Would love to see others chime in
