Builds Let's Baseline my new to me 1993 Land Cruiser (3 Viewers)

WKOR Install

Well I read some optimistic posts about 1 banana job and 30-45 minutes per side....and I'm not sure I agree. The puzzle of trying to mount these sliders solo is no longer a fun challenge. I have a jack and some tall jack stands at my disposal. Im wishing I had a small HF transmission jack, but it's hard to justify a $125 tool that I will use once and then takes up quite a bit of shop space.

I made a small jack extension for my floor jack, that was essentially a carriage bolt and 36" of 2x4. That sort of worked, but the slider was still awkward AF. and fell and made me do some bench presses to get it back up on the jack stands...I sort of thought that might happen, so I was expecting it. But honestly I should have set up a camera to film the comedy.

So this will apparently be an on brand install for me...still moving at a glacial pace.

The Jack stands did the trick for me, the left side (I have a RHD HDJ81) was a pain due to the brake lines and having to put in the gap spacer. Very awkward and fiddley. Definitely took me a lot longer than 30-45 mins per side but I went slowly anyway.
