Are you running any heavy equipment, steel bumpers..? Much sagging with stock height springs?

I have a arb and winch up front. I dont think it saggs much. I have pretty big spacers I can always add if I want more lift with these springs.
h8mud has been quiet lately...other than new owners posting about problems...
Obligatory picture.

Hit 5,000 miles on the V8 conversion with no issues.
It turns heads wherever it goes.
Yesterday, I had to take a left from a stop into heavy traffic. I wouldn't have twice about it with my Ford Lightning, but I decided to do it with the LX450.
The thing spun the front left tire as I turned left! WTF!
35" Tires KO3 ATs, 4.10 gears, and 6900 lbs.

What a beautiful, well customized Landcruiser. Contagious good taste. When I visited Dave at Delta's,
he showed how cool the swingarm locking mechanism works. Please tell us what your average mpg is with all the equipment, toys..?

Thanks. Love the Delta VS stuff but it is heavy! Skipping their new sliders due to their weight.
The Scan Gauge 2 reported about 15.5 mpg without the RTT and between 14 to 15 mpg with the RTT, depending on speed. Not really tracking it anymore since it was good enough...
The L96 was GMs HD gas motor until 2020, without all the fuel saving nonsense...
I don’t think us landcruiser owners care about miles per gallon. It’s smiles per gallon.
But with my stock motor and my sliders and front and rear delta bumpers and winch and slee skid plate. It got like 8 miles per gallon or something super s***ty. I don’t know yet with the LS. Just drove it yesterday for the first time.
Haha. 
percent. Sparks me joy when I step on the gas. My Mercedes GL diesel 4matic gets approx 23 mpg while the landcruiser gets 12-13 mpg. How’s your swap, what more you need to get done?

How’s your swap, what more you need to get done?Cleaning up wires that I don’t need. Wiring in override switches for my fans to my switch pros. And then take it to the tuner to get it running better. And get my tach working. Otherwise it drives perfect.Haha.

I’m getting a knock sensor code. PO332 and 327. I’m hoping it’s just the stock tune isnt meant for the mild cam that’s in the engine. Otherwise. I dunno what’s causing it.

Defective knock sensors, fake ones, wires damaged? My friend who has an ls in his rx7 fd warned not to buy aldelco knock sensors on amazon. He experienced counterfeit ones.. type this in google search. Can’t link it on my phone. PSA: Genuine ACDelco Gen 3 Knock Sensors Have Dropped In Quality

I’m second guessing myself right now and need some assurance. This is the plug near the glovebox. Pretty sure it’s the E7 connector and I’m pretty sure this is the tach wire, the black one in my finger. Working on trying to get my tach working. It’s the LAST thing I have to do for this to be complete besides a tune.
I don’t want to burn anything up if I’m wrong haha

Yes. E7 (22 pin connector) pin 10, Black Wire.
Ok so I have the right wire in my hand? Haha
Thanks guys. Everything on it is working perfectly except the tach so I didn’t wanna ruin anything haha

Im pretty sure its that black wire lol . You can test continuity if you pull the cluster
Hi guys. I need your help. I followed Bud_Dude wiring direction. Running 35s tires. My speedometer is approx. 10 mpg off on the highway.
I"m using the Dakota sgi-100bt to recalibrate (input and output 2. However, doesn't work. The speedometer arm bounces.
What was your method for the LS swap. Some guys use the lutzauto box. Hopefully i can get the Dakota to work.

Bud's '97 80 series speedometer correction project
When I had my harness and computer made by Speartech. I told them my gear ratio and tire size. They input all of that into my baseline tune. The speedometer is off by 8mph according to my google maps gps on my phone still. It’s always been that way since I put the 35’s on even with the stock engine. I’d honestly just not worry about it. You may spend quite a bit of time and money and still never get it right. Just my thoughts on that. But since you did spend the money. I truly have no idea. I have done everything I know of to make it work but it’s still how it is before I did the swap
Does your GM ECM have a VSS output and is it connected to your speedometer or is the speedometer still connected to the Toyota VSS at the t-case?
The Muscle Car Module does have speed output, which I probably should have used but I chose to use Lutz Auto correction box because it was a 5 minute install, easily configurable, and supports a vendor that sells 80 series parts.
I’m still using the one at the t case. I guess that’s why it’s still off. Now that I think about it. It does have the ones that read both sensors on the 4l80. But I don’t have it hooked to the speedometer. lol
