Blackbear Pass and Imogene Pass - in a 30 year old Land Cruiser
This is my first major trip in the Land Cruiser - 1000 miles to Colorado, over 2 passes, and 1000 miles back to Montana. Can my 30 year old truck make the trip?
I have to say, the trail to and from each pass is a great drive. I expected just a boring gravel road leading up to an epic pass experience, but I actually really enjoyed the whole drive. More technical than I thought. Not difficult or extreme, but just rough enough to make it a good time.

About 5000 miles after my full axle rebuild, I discovered my steering knuckles were leaking grease. This is due to a groove worn into the inner axle. I'll show you what it looks like and how I installed new ones.

I rebuild both axles in my 80 Series Land Cruiser: re-gear to 4.88s, install new bearings and seals, install an E-locker in the front, and rebuild the steering knuckles along with new birfields. I start with the front axle, but if you're interested in the rear 9.5" semi-floating axle it starts at approx 37 minutes.
Fan Clutch replacement on 80 Series Land Cruiser / Shroud Repair

I keep struggling with cooling issues on my 1991 Land Cruiser. I realized it's time to repair the hole in the shroud, and replace the fan clutch along with the fan that's missing a blade ! 2 tips: Just remove the battery box from the start, and loosen the belts right after you loosen the 4 nuts holding the fan to the water pump.

    I was the first to fully desmog a 3FE (EGR delete, air injection system removal, and cat removal), back in 2004/2005 on my FJ62. That guide you reference is the one I wrote and posted to IH8Mud back in 2005. 19 years later and I have zero regrets. It's still a great way to free up power otherwise robbed from the engine, remove unreliable components (due to excessive age and wear at this point), simplify the engine layout, further increase its longevity, and free up real estate in the engine bay. Something to add that's not really desmog related but will help immensely with keeping your air intake clean is to plumb in a PCV catch can in line between your PCV valve and the intake manifold. Doing that along with eliminating the introduction of carbon from the EGR system by doing the EGR delete will allow your intake manifold to stay completely clean inside for the life of the engine. If you really want to "do it right" you could take off the manifold and get it hot tanked so you're starting with a pristine intake and no more buildup of EGR carbon or PCV sludge in it. As far as kits, Vintage TEQ Parts (no business affiliation; we do help each other often on Cruiser related tech issues though) is putting together a full 3FE desmog kit that'll have all the OEM Toyota parts necessary to do the job (save for a PCV catch can, since that's not part of the overall desmog process). It'll have a few different parts from what I originally used to streamline the process a little, based on small refinements I've made since first doing my desmog.

    • @ldooffroad1823
      @ldooffroad1823 9 місяців тому

      I'm hoping to edit and release the LS swap videos this year. Sorry for the long wait. The LS power definitely helps move the bigger tires, and depending on what tire size you want, it may not be necessary to regear to 4.88s. Currently I'm on 35s with 4.88s and the V8 with GM 4L60 tranny. This combo is slightly undergeared, meaning I run slower than my speedo says. It works fine, and would allow me to run 37s without regearing, I think. If you're still running the stock engine, I would definitely consider regearing to 4.88s if you run 33s or bigger.

      Well, actually, I finished it June 2022. It's great! I've been to Moab and Rubicon since. Just need to get around to editing some video footage for you all, lol.

    I was hoping you would state size of fan nuts when removing fan. I got one nut off but the next one was a different size I spent 40 minutes trying ever spanner and even various shifters but the nut wouldn’t budge. Thanks for the starter bump tip to get the but to an easier position Cheers Dave

    Question please why did you change the diff is it because the lack of power on bigger tires? And why did you have to do the front as surely not in 4x4 modes all time. And last is the new gearing 4.88 to1 hope you got the power you wanted thankfully 👍

      Short answer: yes, re-gearing will restore a sense of power lost with bigger tires - the real issue is that your RPMs are different from stock when you have bigger-than-stock tires. The 80 Series Land Cruiser (US version) has full time AWD, not 2WD, so the front is always engaged. Plus you should never have your differentials geared differently - everything will break - your front axle would try to go a different speed from your rear axle.
