Man! Huge thank you for this video. I've been struggling with my FJ80 for a long time now. It has low acceleration even with just 35s. Now I know I need to install 5.29 gearing.
Hey there, love the fact you did a video on this. The one concern I have is the speedometer gets a speed on the output of the transmission. So with 410s or 529s the speedometer is linked to the tachometer regardless of the differential gear ratio. You can see that in the latter part of your video, when the 410 year set shifts into four and the torque converter locks up. Torque converter lock up can account for about 200 RPM difference. Perhaps you could use the video that you have and edit it so that it actually talked about the GPS speed relative to RPM.
Been watching your videos for a couple months now. I like your Toyota collection and group off-road videos. Thanks for posting. Does Alaska road salt rust out Toyota frames? I'm currently in central WA with 3 Toyota trucks, but I think we might be moving to the Fairbanks area in the future and I wanted to know if there was a trick to keeping Toyotas rust-free
I’m guessing the transmission was not shifting into overdrive with the 4.10 ratio. Then it was shifting into overdrive with the 5.29 which is why the rpm was not as high….you can almost tell in the video when it shifts. Anyone notice that. When the, OD off, light is on it won’t shift into OD. The light is off in both 4.10 and 5.29 videos. So….the 5.29’s should help shift and keep rpm’s high in 1st and 2nd gear, better start up, and actually shift into OD at high speeds. The Toyota first gear is just to high.😊

Yes! Anything over 35” needs re gear!

I did the 4:56 over and underdrive sumo transfer case gears and love them.
Do they whine?
@@Shakshuka69I feel like they might have very very slightly in high when they were new on the interstate but not anymore since they're broke in
@@Shakshuka69 Def a good investment but stick to SUMO
@jraddd3477 thanks for responding to a year old comment lol. Will probably go this route with my 80. Cheers!
@@Shakshuka69 It's worth it for sure! It'll give you 4:56 gears without regearing.
Soo nobody going to talk about the moose just chilling accoss the road
Hahaha right? So funny. Kid didn't even acknowledge it lmao
@@crazgreekit’s a daily thing. See moose all the time
I'm in southern new hampshire. We get them here from time to time. Northern nh they're everywhere
Good job, I really enjoyed 5:29s, great upgrade to your Cruiser. 👍
Thanks! 👍
what is the "power" green light function? What does it do?
It’s like the ECT button
All that work did you change out the transmission filter and flesh out the lines ..??
Yes I did last Fall already.

No salt, just traction sand that they throw down.
@@NuttyNu awesome! thanks for letting me know. I always thought Alaska used salts like the east coast states.
Is that a small moose or something at the beginning?
moose
Great video. Informative and interesting.
Thank you!

Do you think it would make a acceleration difference uphill with stock wheel size
Yes
Check out the Sumo transfer case gear set
Sweet ride 😎
Good upgrade. Should maybe save some gas. With lower rpm’s. Good video and information.
🤦♂️😂
Fuel savings
nice video bro
I thought the RPMs would go up. WIn WIn
The 1990 drives great, better then my Dakota. Fresh battery, runs so smooth and smells like a Toyota inside. Brakes and clutch are great too.
Yes I know this video is a year old but had to comment for the working "D" light 😂
Loved mine
