Sounds alright when you are driving. The only way to be really sure is to test it with an oil pressure tester. You are probably alright.

Ditto. But I wonder if the oil pressure mark is diff between the 3FE and 1FZ-FE? Mine is always right above 1/3. Has been for as long as I can remember.
Oh and I have a 3FE.

Pulled the roof rack off, won't need it till march or so.
Fiddled with the washer diverter thingie, broke it.
Ordered a new one. In the meantime I teed it off with a garden dripper fitting I had laying around.

How to get absolutely nothing done in 61 easy steps.
Or.
How my Saturday went.
- Buy ARB lockers and have them installed. (Ok this is not a bad thing, pretty cool actually)
- Buy 2 gallons of 80W-90 gear oil in anticipation of the oil change after the break in period.
- Lose the receipt
- Drive a total of 1,500 miles
- 10:00 AM: Park the LC in the garage and prepare for the oil change
- I do not drink, so step 6 was skipped
- Realize your waste oil container is full and needs be emptied before the diffs can be drained
- Swear
- Pack up the container in the other car
- Remember that your kerosene container is empty and it might be nice to have some heat
- Pick up the container and see that the cap/nozzle is broken and would spill everywhere if used
- Swear and make a mental note to go to Tractor Supply Co and get a new nozzle
- Take the used oil to the collection center
- Get chewed out by the operator for not stopping at the empty operator shack so I could wait for him to tell me how to get to where I already knew where to go
- Dump the oil and head to Tractor Supply Co for the new nozzle
- Find they do not have one your picky ass likes
- Go to two more stores and finally buy one at the hardware store
- Head home
- Find the oil you bought just for this occasion
- Think to yourself “I better check the ARB Manual to see if they have any special requirements”
- See that ARB recommends a synthetic blend
- Swear because that is not what you bought
- Put the two gallons of oil in the car
- Put the kerosene container in the car thinking “At least I can get the kerosene now”
- Head to the kerosene supplier first because they close early on Saturday
- Arrive at the kerosene supplier and see the gates are closed. See that they changed their hours.
- Swear
- Take your son to Taco Bell for lunch because he is hungry and you have been running around all morning
- Head to the autoparts store
- Try to return the gear oil without a receipt
- Be happy they will exchange it for the synthetic
- Find they do not have the correct weight as recommended by ARB
- Ask if they will refund your money without a receipt
- Answer the question “What is this going in” from the clerk by saying “A 97 Land Cruiser”
- Answer the question “What is that? A Toyota or something” with “Yes a Toyota”
- Have the clerk argue with you that the original oil purchased is the correct oil according to his computer
- Argue that the vehicle is no longer stock as the differentials have been changed out for aftermarket lockers
- Have the clerk argue that his computer says a 97 landcruiser with lockers still takes the same oil
- Argue with the clerk again that they are no longer stock differentials
- Have the clerk tell you he hates when people mess with their differentials. ?????
- Finally the clerk hands you less money than you paid because he does not know if you bought it on sale.
- Swear and be happy you are leaving with something
- Go to several other stores looking for the recommended oil
- Do not find it
- Decide to call ARB to see what else they recommend
- “You have reached ARB during our non-business hours……………”
- Swear
- Give up on the oils change for today and decide to replace the antenna mast. That will be an easy 5 minute job and make you feel better
- Remove the nut on the top of the antenna and have your son hit the “up” button
- Get the antenna all the way to the top and find that it will not come out all the way
- Have your son work the antenna button up and down several times hoping it will work the cable loose
- Swear and think “No big deal I will just take the whole unit out, disassemble it and remove the old antenna
- Remove the other bolt holding it in place and try to work the antenna out of the hole
- Realize the antenna cable is too short to allow the unit to angle properly to come out.
- Try to reassemble the unit back in place
- Drop the bolt and have it disappear
- Crawl around under the truck for 15 minutes only to find it inside the the slider
- Try to reassemble the unit back in place, Success!!!!!!!
- Clean, lube and straighten the antenna as best you can and call it good.
- 6:00 PM Call it a day and thank your son for hanging out with you.
- Post a ridiculously long list on IH8MUD
have you started drinking yet?

Some friends and myself went out to the Palo Duro Canyon, and we set up camp very late as we got stuck in a lot of traffic on I40. Then we woke up several hours later to go ride as many miles as possible on Yeti's new lineup.
Rode the SB6c to start with. It's a lot of bike and we weren't familiar with the canyon, so I never fully got to open it up. Then went with the SB5C and it might be the best bike I've ever ridden. Their 29er was also amazing.
The Yeti cooler on the swing out is a life changer.

I've never seen my oil pressure that low. Even hot at idle. May be fine, I don't know, but sure looks low.Couple updates:
-rolled 160k
-sitting at Sears waiting for them to test for a parasitic draw on my battery so they'll finally warranty it (3 weeks)
Since pics are like p*rn around here, I have a couple
And yes, the 80 gets the garage. The little tugboat TDI Jetta gets the hard life and is subject to the elements.

The gauges senders are mechanical and wear out. Mine read low with the pressure well well above minimum per manual, replaced sender and it reads normally.
Pretty common issue.
If I were you, right around step 11 I would substitute all the remaining steps with number 6. At least you got something out of your day. Quality time with your son.
The Yeti's have come a long way and now they are one of the best line up when comes to carbon MTB. In fact the SB95c is the only bike that have tempted me to get a new bike since 2012.
I rode up to N. Georgia to play in the snow with some old, and new, friends. Started off with four other vehicles (you know, that original crude design that Dr. Toyota took and perfected), and before we’d driven 30 miles we had to stop and get gas for one, coolant for another, and oil for the third.
Then, while we were stopped, we saw a mutual friend across the street at the auto parts store repairing his vehicle in the parking lot. So, we all drove over there to watch, and then he and his buddy in a sixth Jeep joined our convoy. When we finally got into the snow, we met another 80 who was waiting on us, and picked up an additional two or three Jeeps along the way.
By the end of the day we were back down to the original five vehicles, and the forth Jeep had busted his front sway-bar requiring a quick trail repair.

Friends trailer dyno. Pulled the front driveshaft off. It created a certain amount of HP and torque

I live in Amarillo, which is about 20 minutes from Palo Duro Canyon. Pretty cool place.

Figured that but seeing as he has 30K less miles than me, and mine works approriatly, he might of had a problem. Any pressure is better than no pressure!
My brother built me a drawer system for the back of my 80 80

What did it make in 2wd, I was always curious if locking the center diff might free up a little hp.
