Dude you’re a top tier professional at your craft. Much respect!
May sound weird but watching you work and listening to you speak about things and explain them as your doing them is just satisfying. Your level of craftsmanship and knowledge is truly mesmerizing and I appreciate these videos.
Its perfect for the hands on learners out there! people explain and i get lost, watching as he goes along and explains why he is doing what he is doing is a win win.
I agree completely!! Very satisfying. So well done. Mr TEQ would be proud of his meticulousness 👌🏼
Kinda gotta David Friberger vibe watching this. 👍👍
The production quality and educational voice overs on your videos is unparalleled. I love your content even when it’s projects I’m not particularly interested in. I am always super excited when there’s a new episode of dirt lifestyle!
Thank you! So glad you are enjoying the channel
I feel like this is one of the most underviewed/underrated off-road channels on UA-cam. Also, most definitely best project in this challenge IMO
The Toyota Lamd Crusier Commercial Wad hilarious 😂 0:41
I am so happy to see that you showed everyone to use anti seize. I can not tell you how many times I have to rescue a fellow gear head because the splines are rusted together on two parts. Great job and pre lube with the lucas oil on all bearings. This is why that gear set up will have the best chance for a long life as possible.
I stress that also , On my truck i have had every fastener out at least once , lol Everywhere it is appropriate it has never seize, that way when i do have to work on anything or upgrading it dll comes apart like it was brand new, it just makes life a lot easier ehen your not snapping bolts or stripping stuff
Super cool to see your son old enough now to come in there and help out. Parenting done right!
If magazine and channel builders have taught me anything, it's that you start your project no more than 6 weeks before the event, cobble it together and go, then spend the next year fixing it to go again and have a bucket of new problems from your changes and fixes; or it's just a motortrend thing.
Honestly it's great to see build series where time is taken to do things right and think ahead to solve problems before they can happen. Can't wait to see the finished vehicle.
If the voting was based upon technical expertise alone, you would receive 100% concensus. I found everything about this video extremely entertaining, (as with all you have done to date). Thank you!
I agree, even if I'm trained in the art,
being a former plumber myself , descendant from a family of three plumbers,
I got to say that your a master ,👍
because : a subject that is mastered , when explained, is easily understood from some one NOT trained in the art.
The way you do/say things it shows your level of knowledge/ability.
Hats off !
Working with your kid, that is an experience of a lifetime! Those diff covers are NOT ugly! They are very practical.
I love having him in the shop when I can keep him busy 👍. It's so fun showing him the process
I’ve been waiting for this episode. Thank you for posting.
I hope you enjoyed it!
Not going to lie. Because of you and Dave I’ve definitely looked around at some Land Cruiser. As usual your production quality is great. I think you have the best produced show on UA-cam amongst the off-road shows.
Thank you! I'm honored to have such high praise 🙌
Episodes 3 and 4 are on the @dirtheadshed UA-cam channel! If you want to save 20% on an ONX membership use coupon code "dirtlifestyle" at check out. Enjoy the video 🤘
Such an incredible build, this is so much more than just a competition build. It feels like this is the summary of years of experience. I wish you all the luck with it!
Makes me feel better seeing other people using marine grease in our area, I was always questioned on it when building axles for people, so i spoke my concerns but could still see the doubt in their eyes.
I did a ton of research on marine grease. Everything I could find showed similar performance as standard high temp. BUT it has additives that repel water, making it slightly more expensive. As far as I can tell, that is the only con 👍.
I’ve always loved land cruisers and I’ve always loved Ramchargers, and I really appreciate the underdog aspect of the s10 so this series has had me conflicted. I will say though, that Nate by far has the most palatable content to watch so I’ve been rooting for him since the start
Sometimes I fast-forward through your videos. But I watched this one all the way.
An absolute clinic on 80 series axles. Bravo.
I really hope you win! I watch and like all the others but you definitely deserve it, especially now that you've got the dirt head shed helping you. You both are really good at what you do, but you're my favorite channel on UA-cam! The knowledge and info you bring along with awesome wheeling trips is unparalleled!
Damn...this is the highest-quality build in the OnXChallenge, hands down...When it's done nobody is going to believe you are only into it 15k!
You my dude are the next Ian John Johnson in the making for the next generation in the off road community.
I know Dave came in late in a pinch, but he had it for a month?!!?
You're killing it man! So much purpose-built experience and passion going into this on your part
The voters just don't KNOW!
Can't wait to see you blow up the competition once all the rigs get field tested. The truth will be known at that point!!
Hands down best content creator when it comes to off-road. Good on you dude.
The small details you correct along the way are what really make this build so engaging. Those of us who do all the wrenching ourselves know how much time it takes to do everything the "right" way and it's worth doing even if it's never going to get you more instagram likes. I'm a 100 series owner and my Toyota bias means this is looking like it's going to replace your land rover as my favorite build.
Now im emotionally invested in this build lol I love watching this come together
Awesome! I got ya 😎
You’re rocking it Nate! That rig is going to be awesome. It looks great already. Pretty sure you’ve just raised the price on all the old Landcruisers out there 😂😂 keep it up!
You are doing an absolutely amazing job. It’s nice to see someone do a quality job and not half ass it. Please keep doing quality work like you have been and showing people the right way to do things thank you.
Nate you ought to open a 4x4 fab shop that offers online advisory/setup services. Great vids man keep it up!
This is part of the plan believe it or not! Hopefully first or second quarter of 2024
@@DirtLifestyle Nice!
Can we get in line now? Hehe
I have a bunch of fab stuff I need done and a rear axle rebuilt!
I blame you for my desire to build stuff. The TDI series had me wanting to get an engine on the stand and start "building" it. This video has me wanting to grab some axles and build them. I mean, I don't build stuff, but there is a desire there. 😂
Nate, I love watching your videos and I can’t believe you guys don’t have more votes. If I lived closer to Washington, I’d be calling you to help me work on my rig as well. Super enjoyable I love the work you do keep it up.
Its cool seeing your son getting involved more! Good job
On my gladiator rubicon, i just reused the factory shims and was right back into the factory specs when I went up to 5.13s. I was really surprised and checked it 3 more times. So far, and 50K miles, no problems. Gears are quiet. It was my first time ever doing gears. It took me 6 hours on the back, to learn how to do it. The front only took me 3 hours. Probably the scariest thing I have ever done on a vehicle. Plus I saved myself $2k on install. Plus I know I did it right. I wish everyone used removable third members though. It would make setting gears up so much easier. I'm more of a fan of Toyota and Land Rover axles.
Good old Toyota Birfield Axle 2:42 love it
Thanks for dispelling a lot of the myths and mysteries by taking the time to explain your knowledge. These processes are definitely knowledge gained from many many trials and errors which most "in the know" never take the time to share. Well done, Nate! Also, it's awesome to see you encouraging your son to join in.
Amazing description and explanation on how you're rebuilding these axles! I "almost" feel confident enough to rebuild one of mine that needs attention!
Excellence friend Excellence !!
I remember being in the garage too as a child with dad !! Awesome to see the children learn and participate. STRONG WORK 😊
Nate, I will try and make this short. Not only is your work really good, but the way you explain things makes people like me understand. I am the proud owner of 4 land rovers, 3 defenders and a d2 TD5 (which build of yours led me to your channel) and watch your channel from Namibia in Africa. `"Rock crawling" here is not much of a thing herew, but raw off-roading and camping is our forte. Feel free to hook up anytime you ponder about an adventure in Africa. OK, I couldnt keep it shorter than that and keep those videos coming. Thank you.
Just snagged a cheap ‘91 FJ80 a few days ago for the wife. She’s super excited about it, but man do I have my work cut out for me! It’s solid, but has had no maintenance for a very long time. Very long time.
Nice! Congratulations 🙌
It has been fun to see this truck come together! That said, I am eagerly looking forward to seeing the Suzuki back in the shop.
Your builds are 2nd to none in my opinion 👍🏻 love your way of explaining what's going on to people in layman's terms
Take your time, family is the most important. Sorry for your loss.
Your an incredible man. Everything perfect.
Your son is going to be incredible also. Everything he does will be perfect.
Class is in session! I always learn something on this channel. I appreciate that you take the time to show us how it's done. Even though I have set up my own gears and carriers, I have not worked on a Toyota. So now I have a good idea of how that goes down. Plus a lot of good advice that applies to all axle builds. Well done Nate, much respect! P.S. just going to hazard a guess that your little boy will be a fabrication, mechanical guru by age 15.
Dude this kiddo is obsessed with wanting to learn how trucks work! It's so fun teaching him about these topics
My favorite channel for everything offroad
I LOVE how you get your kid involved in your projects! Great learning experience and bonding time with the little man. Can't wait to see what he fabricates in 25 years on his channel!!!
Props for the spacer over crush sleeve, way more reliable and simple to setup!
Nate you never bore me. You are so knowledgeable and talented. Thanks
On my #LX45 project, one limit I found on the 80 series front axle was the steering arm to knuckle interface. No matter what I did with the stock 4-stud system, it would not stay tight long term with hydro assist steering ( and that hydro assist was built to stop correctly at the ram, steering stops, and internally on the box all at the same time ) and a 40" tire. I ended up having to make large 1/2" thick tabs on all 3 steering arm locations that tied back into the steering stop bosses on the outer knuckle ball. This tool a few little tricks, but they are still removeable and the steering stops are all still adjustable. Those tabs where multi-pass TIG welded with normal ER70 to the steering arms. The steering arms are a forged steel part and welded quite nice once clean. I also welded everything while bolted together and allowed it to cool while in place. With multiple seasons on that modification, I can't recommend it enough for the 80 series knuckle package. I went from having to check and re-torque the studs after every day of hard wheeling to not having them move at all in multiple seasons with trips all over Sand Hollow, Rubicon, Dusy, etc.
Drives like a Lexus performs like a hummer 👍
I too am very impressed with your knowledge and the high quality of your work. Thank you!
Great practical upgrades on that LX. Can’t wait to see it in action 🤙🏼
Me too! Hopefully, I can get it on the road this week
The cleanest axle rebuilt I have seen so far!
Great work! I much preferred watching you do it than me. You may have over done it with the grease. It can push through the inner seals and make a mess of the locker and R&P. You will probably be okay, but its usually best to leave a little space in the knuckle. My bets are on you and this LC.
New to the channel, awesome work! I saw dirthead shed do the roll cage and sliders so I assumed that you didn't have the fabrication ability to do it, boy was I wrong!
Speaking from experience and to save a heap of pain especially on road brace the panhard mounts, 2 of my 80 series and a 105 series landcruiser cracked, broke and bent their panhard mounts. Also brace the frame around the steering box, they're prone to cracking.. ask me how I know 😅 love the builds mate and have been a long time watcher! Nice to finally know abit about a rig you've got 😂🤘
Also a nissan patrol GU steering box is a big upgrade from factory and will save your bacon later, especially under high steer load situations. That and a way to mark your king pin bolts to check for movement will help alot too.
After alot of highway ks before tracks or heavy breaking the hubs can eventually heat up causing the king pin bolts to get enough wiggle to start to back out and snap..then it's a downhill run, it's rare but it definitely definitely happens 🤦😅
He'll be using ram assist steering so the steering box won't be an issue.
@CACressida yeah I realised afte right commented that it probably won't be an issue 😅🤦
* for that reason*
Lots of great information all put together. I also like the carrier mount you made, seem to make life easier on this project.
Love this bud, keep it up. Voting for you as often as I can.
Thank you! I really appreciate the support 🙏
I started watching this channel just recently. I really appreciate your attention to detail and your wealth of knowledge. While I can respect the people who just send it, hope for the best, and figure it out on the road, I’m much more of the mindset of “do it one, do it right.” I really like these how-to videos, very informative, very well edited, and very engaging.
You make the best technical video content for us trail heads, no question. Incredible videography and the explanation and detail is second to none. It's a lot of work making these videos, so much respect.
_DAMN_ WISH all that stuff was available 20 years ago when I was daily driving and modifying mine!
I absolutely love this build! Much respect👍🏻
Nice to see you back
Great job on the rebuild, another cheap option for a little more strength with those stock hubs is to get rid of the conical/stud and tap the hub for a bolt
I love this series!
Awesome work 💪🏽
Can’t wait to see this rig in action 🤘
Looking forward to seeing this rig back together and out on the trails! No doubt much sweat, effort and sleep loss has gone into all of the builds!
All 3 of the builds are going great. Can’t wait to see them all compete.
Would actually prefer if all three went 🤔
I'm in Colorado I'll be looking for the teams.
I learn a ton with every video I watch thanks Nate!
that things going to be a beast! cant wait to see it in action!
Awesome work Nate!! Can't wait to see it wheeling!!
Been waiting for this episode!
Impressive. Can't wait to see this one done.
Looking good Nate. You can also drill out the 8mm axle studs and fit 10mm. Worth the work if you like to shock load your drivetrain/ bounce etc
You are savage! That diff is the biz.
I did my 1st "welds" last night 😂.
So stoked!
Love the opening
Serious skill in everything you do.
Those greasable birfs are really nice.
nice work. seriously. every time i watch one of your gear installs i get a little closer to trying it myself. :D Thanks for having the heart of a teacher!
great vid! entertaining and educational. props!
So glad to see you working on the lexus rig again. Great work on the axles and cant wait to see the end result!!!
This makes me rethink gearing me sequoia myself homie.
Come on ppl go vote every day i have to be honest i dont do it every day but i have been at least 2 times a week this crew deserves it more than the rest
Great content and great teacher too. Thanks for taking the time to explain the steps along the way. I’ll never do these things myself but I appreciate gaining a better understanding.
G'day mate, the bottom knuckle studs have a habit of undoing themselves. We have either welded the studs in or changed them to bolts. Great channel ❤
Great job Nate,
Thank you for the content.
Your quality is 2nd to none!
Really dig the in depth long form content, appreciate you bringing us along. Sending my best to you and yours man.
I look forward to every video you drop and I’ve been loving this series!
You a true master of your craft 🙌
Watching an artist at work here
Thank you 🙏 that means alot
I have had bad luck personally with crush sleeved r/p setups. But I didn’t know you could even do a solid setup until now.
Hard spacer helps Stop Pinion preload Failure which happens alot on Ifs Axles as well As Toyota axles in general was a common failure on the 4th gen 4runner preload fales and companion flange starts slapping with the drive shaft slapping from the wobble 25:02
Looks awesome Nate 💪🏻👍👍
That Land Cruiser is solid!! Awesome work Nate 👊🏻👊🏻
Another super educational Nate video. One of the many factors that draws me to his show.
So keen for the next video in this series. Love your videos!
great vid thanks mate
Thank you for the video
😎👍
Great video!
Wow, 314k subscribers. Last I looked it was 80k. Good job, Nate.
