Your t-case output is leaking.

So funny you said that. I found a quarter sized drop of gear oil on the ground and traced it to...the t-case output shaft. Ugh.

Once you got rid of those terribly clogged cats that pressure had to go somewhere.

What I did was find this

Opened up today a few days after installing the new Y-pipe and cats.

Weld up the crack then get some sheet metal and weld a cone between the muffler and the pipe to support the weight.

Last night I took my lovely wife out to the Des Moines Home and Garden Show and Smashburger for a cheap Valentine's date in the Land Cruiser. Once I'd adjusted the pax seat back so it's in a better position, she actually likes the car and how smooth it rides. Funny thing, overseas I'm always the guy with a Land Cruiser who can actually leave whatever compound folks are restricted to, so I am always "popular", but I'd never had the opportunity to give the woman who owns my heart a ride in one. And it was fun.

This morning, new lift struts arrived from Lift Supports Depot and I changed them out in subzero temps with 30 mph wind.

Mine looks just like that, I love the duratracs so far! Need to go find some snow now!

 

[97 greenmonster]

I do love my duratracs so far to be honest I've driven with them in snow a few other times earlier this year but I need and excuse to tell I need to go out in bad weather so of coarse ever one knows when there's a snow storm you have to stock up on milk, bread and tp

Took the wife & kids to a cabin in the woods. She said the cruiser is the most comfortable car we own. Better than both Lexus & her Ford.

Nice truck. What did you paint the truck with? It's the only one I have seen other than my own with an army green paint job.
