What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (52 Viewers)

[Chang739]

Cable wrapped the winch cables for peace of mind, washed the entire chassis/underside as well as the engine bay to get any residual salt off from PO. The plan is to scrub down chassis with the anti-rust mix of CRC and ATF I saw on this forum somewhere...

Oh and most importantly I found an OEM Toyota LANDCRUISER decal for the rear door and man what a difference! I didn't realise how lacking it looked before.

Owls head mountains in southern most DV with another sad view. Not enough bandwidth to send it ...
Cheers, George.

Solo trips are often the best. Glad you are sharing it with us George. Safe travels.

Builds - The Green Bastard

Was able to use the end of the driveway and its weird angle to get the radiator cap juuuuuuuuust to the right height, took the LC out to lunch for a co-workers going away lunch. (I made sure the heat worked before setting off for lunch!) (I checked the coolant before heading home :D ) After...

I would always run a ground as such needed there for grounding all of that distribution center back to the battery, but that's me. Your connection is relying on all the other ground cables that connect the body to the frame, then the frame to the battery connections.

Little snow wheeling and camping trip

What are those two things on the front of the hilux?

In the farm, we have electrical wire fences (1 or 2 wires). So we use those "things" to pass from one plot to the other without getting out of the truck. Those things push the wires down the truck, and they continue under the truck so the wire doesn't get caught in the chasis and suspension components.

Got a random new one today. No front driveshaft... should I be worried?

 

[landcrshr]

Added a power outlet inside the rear cubby for a small inverter.

Because necessity's a mother.

Yes. We've seen some that had a block of wood pounded into the axle housing where a birfield was supposed to be.

Nice, so was it being driven with the CDL engaged?

14 days since I ordered my bumper.

The suspense is killing me

CDL

Not entirely sure. What should I look for? It feels like it drives fine,, just noticed it. Could be a blown diff or something I suppose. Putting it in park is hit or miss.

Taking it to my guy today for a once over. This is a trial period so we'll see if he calls anything wild out. My theory is it was a swap, so they got a new one, swapped the terrible tires on it, and took the shaft. It was obviously driven, oil change last year, lots of candy and chips in the back like it was a parents car.

Most likely a single parent with barely enough money to put gas in it, then not enough money to fix it right. So, things were bandaged and bypassed, enough to make things work.

Lots of baselining there.

Assume nothing.

Round trip from CA to AZ

Nice video! What wheels are those on your ceuiser?

Another day in the shop.

1HDFT loaded with crank and pistons, taped off for prep and after the right amount of prep, paint.

A 1FZFE getting the same treatment. With 175k OG miles all it needed on the bottom end was a crank polsish, new bearings, a light hone, new rings and the top of the block decked cause it was out by 1thou.

I am getting the pistons vapor honed just to get rid of the carbon and clean them up. 27yr old pistons ready to go for another 200k!

Cheers
