I have just watched this again for inspiration after 2 years and just blown away by your attention to detail and quality of work. Please correct me if I am wrong, but you seem like a retired billionaire who loves his 80 and outdoors and revels in a challenge to restore. You honestly blow me away. I was thinking of selling my 80 and watching your videos makes me want to keep it and restore it.
@@PadmaDorjee thank you. I’m a regular hardworking American that has a passion for his 80 series. I see my 80 series as a safety net or an emergency vehicle for survival situations. On the other side of the coin I also get to use it for exploration, camping and enjoying the outdoors. Who are you going to depend on if shit hits the fan?
Way more work than I anticipated, but well worth it once it got done. I had been putting off the exhaust system for a while as far as going through it. Thanks.
I love quiet cars!! Nice job. They should make that heat shield stuff in a wrap, it would be so much easier to work with. Ever thinking about getting a sand blaster cabinet? It would make cleaning up those parts super easy and quick.
Thanks. After being in a truck for hundreds of miles with an obnoxious exhaust it gets old real quick! Been there done that. Funny you mentioned it, I was actually getting ready to pull the trigger on a blast cabinet but decided to hold off and not rush it. I’m planning to get a decent one with a canister type filter.
80 series doesn't have any flexible portion or Donut Joints in the exhaust system? my 105 series with 1fz does not have one and I permanently have weld points cracking from time to time - the welding points of my aftermarket I installed CAT converter instead of factory resonator (yes, my car didn't have any OE Cat converter, as far as it is UAE version). I'm thinking to install donut connection flange inside the downpipe section.
@@trackcalledquest yeah, but all the exhaust system is rigidly connected to the engine right? Its a fact, that this design does work for dozens of years, but once i added aftermaket part within, i started to see cracks. It also can be low quality of weld though.
@@bakurjikia244 Yes for sure, fatigue and low quality materials and poor welds can be an issue. A good quality stainless non rigid exhaust joint would be a great idea. But what’s the long term draw backs of this type of coupler?
Do you have the part number for those studs?, are they the same as the 02 sensor studs? (Mine are rusted down to a nub) and I need to replace my 02 sensors. Thanks for the help! Just picked up my first 80 series ever 🙌🏻
Hi Triki tonco, The Part # for Toyota exhaust manifold studs is # 90126-10006. I’m not sure if these studs will work in the o2 sensor location. I ditched the studs on the o2 sensors and went with grade 8 bolts. Make sure to put a little anti seize on the threads and good luck. Congrats on your new to you Land Cruiser these trucks are worth wrenching on!
Great work. 93-94 FZJ80s are notorious for the hot floorboards on the passenger side around the cats. Wondering if you have experienced any reduction in radiant heat in/on the floorboard? May need to look into doing the same on my rig if it knock out some heat.
All I have to say is after wrapping my Cat’s with Heatshield Products it’s drastically improved on heat transfer. Floor boards feel much cooler. Thanks, Cheers!
Summit Racing has them the company is called Heatshield Products. They come in all dimensions. This is the one I ordered Heatshield Products 170105. www.summitracing.com/parts/hsp-170105 I also recommend the metal zip ties offered by Heatshield Products.
@@trackcalledquest thanks man, I’m gonna add this to my list. I thought my wife was having hot 🥵 flashes in the passenger seat 💺 😂but realized it’s much hotter on that side
Just picked up an 80. I want to do this to my truck, do you happen to know what muffler that is and where did you get? I like that it has a short tip at the end.
Hi Rick, I bought that muffler off of EBay. It’s not oem but it’s close enough to factory. I paid about $170 vs paying $700 for a NOS muffler. I adapted a stainless steel turn down tip at the end. Congrats on your 80 Series. Cheers!
@@Cachapeluo This is the exact replacement I used. BRExhaust 228-239 Exhaust Muffler Rear For 1993-1995 Toyota Land Cruiser. They run right around $250. Different vendors have them for sale on EBay. Find the best deal. Cheers.
@@trackcalledquest I heard that from Anderson White, he’s been Overlanding since 1982. Drove every Continent except Antarctica, did Greenland instead. Said that’s the biggest reason to have a fire extinguisher, because dry grass could burn your rig down to the ground.

Nice work on the job and modifications overall! Looks like a great fit once you got all done as well. Great video!

Thank you very much for this video. I, too am doing this and had a few questions. You answered them all!!
Thanks! Happy wrenching!
Nice work! South Fork Colorado here; 97 fzj80 .
Thank you
I haven’t even watch the video yet. I know it’s going to be a great video.
I like the series so far man. Saving up currently for my first 80
Right on man! You won’t be disappointed going with an ole 80 series. They tend to grow on you.
@@trackcalledquest had a 3rd gen taco before this so I'm excited

Man that pavement princess is clean. :)
Thank you. Dusty cleans up well. Cheers
Wow! Meticulous clean work. Looks amazing and sounds great.
Not as quiet as yours! Hehe!
I seen the wrap came from Summit , do you have the part number I do not see it on their site

My 80 series doesn’t have any donut joints at the down pipes. The rectangle rubber isolator does allow for some flex.

Great video. Got my cats stolen on my 91 a few days ago so I’ll be grabbing some of this heat shield.
Nice work!👍👍

Awesome. Saved me some research. Mine are rusted as well.
Where did you find the catalytic converter upper and lower heat shields ?
Those catalytic converter shields came on the truck.

I may have missed it, what year is your cruiser? Nice work!
Dusty is a 1994 LC80. Thank you
@@trackcalledquest I rewatched, I found my answer. I have a jdm 94 and I’m replacing the two down pipes and possibly redoing my exhaust.
@@kpkelsey6 Diesel right?
@@trackcalledquest 1fzfe gas.
Does the down pipe wrap help keep the cab cooler?
Yes it does. It actually keeps the transfer case gear oil much cooler as well.

Can provide a link to the EBay vendor? Or model number of the Muffler? @@trackcalledquest

Why you have the pipes wrapped? You driving over dry grass and worried about setting a wildfire?
Yep, that’s exactly it!
