I was looking for longer puller when I had my t-case apart last time, and really struggled to find one long enough. I bought and returned three different pullers before giving up. Going from memory, you need at least 8" of distance from hook to threaded rod. That proto tool is awesome.

I've been doing some searches online for Proto puller sets. Hopefully Georg can give us a part number off the arms and cross bar.
Thank you for that info! I checked the FSM and the 1HD-T used the HF2A for full-time 4WD (mine) and the HF1A for part-time 4WD.
I did some internet searching and it seems like the T-Bar and Jaws are available in a few of the 10 ton 2 jaw puller sets, some with a metal storage case and some without. The J4232SJ set is one with two sets of jaws and no case and is lower priced than the others.
The parts in the video must be an older version, since the modern 4016 jaws have holes for two length settings and there are no measurement marks on the T-bar.
I'll definitely order this puller when I order my T-case gears.

What I don't know for sure is if the kit you linked has the same reach as the old 4016 arms. It reports a 7 1/8" reach for the longer arms. @CharlieS seems to remember you need 8" from the hook to the end of the fully retracted threaded rod.

I asked Georg to take a measurement of the Proto puller arms for me. When I get his response, I'll comment back here.
Having watched the first 2 videos I have gained a lot of knowledge and am seriously thinking of doing this upgrade. After looking at car-part.com and seeing how inexpensive transfer cases are I can rebuild one and not have any downtime when I swap the case out.
Now do I do both the high/low side of the transfer case and deal with near 5.368 gear ratio? Might be ideal since I plan on going to 37s soon.

Wow. Great content! This is definitely high on my list of things to do.

Part 4 is live Fellers. Check out Post #4. This concludes the series. For anyone finding this thread, I hope you appreciate the gift @orangefj45 has provided you. You have to know this is a fairly rare event that an expert in the industry takes time out their busy schedule to share trade secrets they have developed over decades of turning wrenches on Land Cruisers.
I can say with 100% certainty this video series will never be surpassed. Do you know how I know this? It's because the level of work it took to bring this series to you was ENORMOUS! Georg and I filmed for around 12 hours together to capture the necessary footage. Then it was probably 50-60 hours of editing. We put this kind of work into our DIY videos because we want people to succeed. Sure, there are much more succinct videos on this subject matter, but when people get lost and have questions, guess where they will come? That's right, to this series because Georg provided detail and explanation that no other video series will offer.
Happy Wrenching my 80 Series Land Cruiser Brothers!

I’m sure I can speak for most everyone here when I say that we really appreciate the effort and expense you both have gone to, in order to educate us on this subject. We genuinely appreciate the effort that has gone into this project to familiarize us with this process.
Timmy and Georg, thank you so much for doing the time consuming work to share this with us. These videos contain so much valuable (hard earned) knowledge, that most of us would never have access to. Thank you!
Having torn a couple of these apart and reassembled them using the FSM, I have a decent sense of the basics, but watching these videos provides so much in depth information, best practice, and tricks of the trade. It is hands down the best, most thorough, technical content I've seen.

You're very welcome Charlie!
I've been very fortunate to partner with experts in the Toyota Auto Mechanics World. I've worked with Nick @ Yotal Performance in Riverbank, California on several projects. I also got to work with the CEO of East Coast Gear Supply to document a couple differential re-gears/rebuilds. And now, I've gotten to work with Georg @orangefj45. It was a pleasure to work with Georg, and a great learning experience for me.
