      Hi @jonathanlee34 this is a flat rack from Trail Tailor. A couple companies make a similar version. You can also check out Gamaviti which also has a similar “flat rack”. The low sides make it easy for large items like lumber.

    Thank you for the video. Why not just replace the seal rather than purchase a whole new housing. Also, I could not appreciate the difference between the two seals.

    • @cruisercult
      @cruisercult 14 днів тому

      @@bobs2440 so the original housing only accepts one seal. Over the time seal and the shaft surface it rides on degrades over time. Even a new single seal won’t fully stop a leak. The new housings from Valley Hybrids are machined to accept two seals. This gives them a new surface to seal against and prevent leaks.

      Congrats on the new 60! I think you should first enjoy your truck for a while. Really get to know what you love and don't love about it. Also, what do you want this 60 for? Some people love the 2F and stick with it no matter what. Some people love the power of the LS swaps. If plan to load it down, do tons of miles, want to keep up with modern traffic and have a fist full of dollars for a swap... A v8 sure is nice. hahaha. But again, enjoy your new 60 for a while and get a feel for it and what you want. :) Cheers!

      There are a great number of parts still available from Toyota that can be sourced in the USA. Some parts are not sold in the US but can be purchased from overseas Toyota parts houses. The best bet for domestic Landcruiser parts if you are not sure how to look up part numbers using the Toyota EPC would be to contact a Landcruiser specific company like Cruiser Outfitters.

    What would make a 3fe run very well and after maybe 30min start to act like it’s running out of gas, stalling, unresponsive throttle but if you take your foot off the gas will idle perfectly fine, and after a minute or two go back to normal and after 20-30min start acting up again?

    • @cruisercult
      @cruisercult 4 місяці тому

      Hey, Have you hooked up a vacuum guage to the vehicle? I would and look to see if you have a vacuum leak when you get that stumble. If that theory tests out look at all your rubber hoses to see if you have any cracks. If not related to vacuum it could be that the wire loom near the exhaust manifold is getting warm and causing resistance which is throwing sensor signals off and causing the stumble. Check the vacuum first before jumping into wiring.

    hey chase, great video. I was watching your 80 steering box swap video and have a question regarding the install. what steering gear fluid did you use during the install? also, did you have to purge air, or bleed the steering gear box system?

    • @cruisercult
      @cruisercult 7 місяців тому

      Hey! Sorry just saw this. For the power steering system I used DexMerc III compatible fluid. That was the type specified in the factory service manual. Valvoline still sells a fluid at the local auto store that should work well. :) For bleeding: I filled the system, jacked up the front so the wheels were off the ground, turned on the truck, turned it lock to lock once, turned it off and checked the reservoir. Topped off the fluid, turned it on and the wheel lock to lock a few times. Kept repeating that until the reservoir stopped needing fluid and there were no bubbles. 👍😁

    I have so many questions for him...I really wish I could have been the interviewer. The last two digits of 12 digit part numbers (-XX) aren't just for color like he said. They can also designate things like material/build quality, whether it's made by Toyota or they have used a third party manufacturer, etc. Part numbers with specific letter combinations added to original part number sequences can also mean that the one containing the additional letters is a lesser quality version available to the public compared to the original one used during original assembly. So many questions!

    • @roncyr7250
      @roncyr7250 7 місяців тому

      This may not be your issue but I've seen MANY people remove the speedo gear off output shaft. This is what causes gear lube to basicly flow out of rear and will cause bearing chatter among other things before cases are damaged. They do this because they are not using factory speedo or just don't realize this is also a spacer to get bearing preload on output shaft so if you haven't looked to see if yours is on the previous owner may have taken it off. It is a possiblity. The splines of brake drum butt into the speedo gear keeping gear oil from flowing out
