What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (47 Viewers)

[ToyotaDon]

Thanks for the advice. So was planning on just dropping the head of do they need the cams also?

You will want to put all the buckets back in place and install the camshafts loosely with their caps. If you tighten them more than just a couple threads, you will want to follow the cam torque sequence. The machine shop needs valvetrain parts to get the valve adjustment correct after their machine work is done. That does not mean you can just slap everything back together; instead be sure to check the valve adjustment when it is all back together.

My 93 has the same issue with the 3rd brake light. Any particular mud forum thread you recommend?

Third Brake Light troubleshooting/rebuild tips

If your 3rd brake light is not working, working poorly, or half working. Only a few pics and assuming basic familiarity with soldering, soldering irons, and heat. And this is just the tools and methods I used to address the situation on my hands: light was working but it was very dim and half...

So glad I got this done!..getting really hot here in norcal, was running the hot winding canyon rds, giving the power steering a run for its money on the way to some of my favorite fishing areas!
The aluminum fins seems to dissipate heat nicely and keep the temps down for hopefully a longer life PS system

Oh, some obligatory fishing pics ..and a close call with a rattlesnake

Finally went and rented a pressure tester to find my coolant leaks and within 5 min I found 2. The 1st one will require a new hose from @LandCruiserPhil and has been ordered as my pieced together BS obviously wasn't working and the second will require me to remove and reseat the lowe hose. Both pretty easy fixes. Now just waiting on the hose before I fix them both. The autozone tester works fantastic BTW

Getting the LC ready for the youngest to start driving. When we last drove her, she was having some intermittent things happening. So today I started doing some troubleshooting with the FSM. During my TS on the AFM I thought that maybe the PO had pulled the plug out so I wanted to check the interior. Everything looks tight and after cleaning the connector it's ohming true. Bought some good electronics silicone. Anything that I should look for inside of the AFM, before I seal this back up?

After 7 years of no 80, I’m back into one.


Picked up our new 80 series and made a pilgrimage to where it all began for me 15 years ago…. (Professionally, speaking)…

I was not I n my cruiser, however, @BelnanDiesel was. I was in my 2010 4Runner, I was impressed with my rigs abilities. I went everywhere the 80 went....except where pin stripes could occur! I know......

Replaced my old seat with a pair of BMW front seats.

Cut off the feet from the old rails, welded a piece of iron flatbar to them, and welded the flatbar to the rails on the new seats.
Seatbelt buckle boltet on the new seats

Began working on my upcoming rear wheel/jerrycan carry bar something something, with double swing arms.

The first stage of my dual swing out is done.

Alright follks, Im not the smartest guys in the planet but I feel like the fan clutch job should not be that hard. Ive tried using both a ratcheting 6 point wrench and a flare wrench, but the nuts that connect the clutch to the water pump are not budging, at all! Ive applied boat load of penetrating spray, tried heating them up, nothing works, and Im on the verge of rounding all the nuts off. Any tips/tricks to help this noob out?
Thanks

I used a channel lock to hold the old fan clutch still and regular box wrench to break the 4 nuts free

Pulled the headliner down to tackle a few jobs and found a mouse nest

He/she/it had pulled the insulation from the back of the roof.

Not sure if this was the same critter but i found his "holiday home" under the drivers seat. So far i have found 3 bees/wasps nests and a few other things that i couldn't identify.
Pretty sure there are no more now...

Tried it, and the nuts are getting rounded
How bad of a plan is to cut the “steam” of the old fan clutch so I can have more space to use other methods of nut extraction?
