What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (51 Viewers)

[TDavidson]

Found a Toyota winch and got it mechanically installed. Also came with Toyota winch controller in the bag!!!

Anyone know where I can get a user manual or wiring diagram? Replacement seals?

Also any good place to get acc or ignition power under the hood?

Ok. Double nut. No bueno. Only five usable threads on the broken bit. Tried to grind down a nut enough to give enough room for a second and it just ate the nut. Might have lost heat treat on nut from grinding too.

next attempt.
JB Weld. Letting that set up overnight Peace!!

Heading to Pismo in a couple weeks. This is how I'll be traveling. Can't wait!

 

[elbobino]

did you drive it up an incline and burp the air out of the system? Took me weeks to figure that out.

I have. Gonna flush the heater core with chemical cleaner and see what happens. Running out of ideas.

Gonna try red locktite with the nut.

Snap on makes a stud removal socket that works great, comes as a kit with few different sizes

I LOVE Usal beach, so jealous !

How far away is that from our area

Have you considered that it's a blend door problem and not a flow problem?
Could also be the exterior of the heater core clogged with leaves, sticks, debris (inside the enclosure)

before you take the dahs out to replace the core check that the core lines are both hot when the heat is on. if both lines are hot then its not a coolant flow problem

try one of these stud removers and heat Amazon product ASIN B000K1KHB6

Changed tc and diff gear oil to Amsoil sever gear oil, checked compression (149-152), and replaced leaking power steering return line...
399k on the clock and running Land Cruiser strong.

I've been using an old shovel handle to keep the hood up for years because I'm cheap....finally spent the $25 for new hood struts.

 

[HooDoo]

I'm embarrassed to admit how long I went with a leaky rear axle. I was occasionally smoking my front brakes as the rears were saturated with axle fluid! The cone washers would not budge. With the help of a little heat they popped right out. This hub had NO grease in it just fluid. Surprised how good the bearings looked. Replaced all and all parking brake parts. Now it's much quieter back there. And I can stop!

I use an old section of 2x4 that I got over three years ago from a pallet.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of going to @fourtrax mechanics lab to install my Supercharger. On the way there, I broke 170K on the odometer.

With the help of @fourtrax, @4LowandSlow, and @Soju, got the oil pump seal, crank seal, key way (that was missing), new radiator hoses and clamps, new water pump, and orange fan clutch replaced. Something that would of took me a lifetime, we accomplished in 10hrs.

Drove home that evening and temps/average MPG are looking good.

Thanks everyone involved from start to finish of this journey (@logicbyondreaso, @2fpower, @S.CarolinaFZJ80, @SammyT96LX450, @DARKNESS, @Roxx, and of course everyone mentioned above.

Awesome, now all you need is a can of beer. Just like Chuck Norris taught me, a supercharger and a beer will solve all of lives problems...

VICTorY! The JB welded on nut and some heat pulled the stud....but what the heck is this thing. And where can I find a new one!!!
Thought it might be a knuckle stud and was hoping to use @NLXTACY kit.....nope.

Feeling lucky all things considered.

looked on the partsouq parts map, nada, they just show the nuts.

Tore into this hot mess today, and drained radiator and block coolant-getting ready for some new red fluid-had green in there for awhile now.

What’s the call, ATF dex3 back in PS? I can’t seems to find that Mobil light hydro oil in any less than a gallon

Bible says dex 3 so thats what I use. Keeps it simple having the same fluid between trans and PS, so I only need one type as a spare.

Dude!!! Thank you. I totally missed that. Was looking at that diagram and didn’t see it. The gear should have been the give away!

I double checked blend door behind radio and it's appears to be operating normally, smooth through entire movement.
Both lines were hot after a short drive with "heat" on high.

Meanwhile...got the @NLXTACY tire level kit in! Might do a little tweaking, but really happy that this helped absorb a 295 under there. The 275 looked like a saggy diaper on the stock setup.

And got the green strip hoses together for this (four o’rielly’s later). A 2” anvil Garden loper makes for great hose cutting.
Need me some clamps now.

step 6: Time for a beer and going out to put some some hours on the boat today (the other money pit)
