How to change coil spring 2 inch v 3 inch lift Toyota landcruiser vdj79 78 76series Efs front coils

Setting up the 79 to fit the 35 12.5 16 Maxxis trepadors

[@rollyb5061]

that looked easy to change the springs , at least you made it look easy

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

Hehe, when you muck around with stuff enough, you manage to "get by"

[@SwingingVoter]

No safety stands or wheel chocks.....Mate, your family loves you for sure!!, this is how an amateur does it.

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

Thanks for commenting Tom.. Points noted.....

Try some of that Liquimoly injector & fuel treatment every couple of tanks, it quietens down the injectors in my VDJ79R. I ran it mainly to clean the fuel system & injectors, it's safe to use at the recommended rates.

[@dustyfarmer]

P.S I think Penrite make a similar product but I went with Liquimoly as Nathan over at exploreOZ did some tests on His UA-cam vid. and I was impressed with His results.

@@dustyfarmer Cheers Dusty, i will definitely look into that..

[@chrisjermyn7442]

Thanks mate, was wondering how those springs were removed. Bloke at work reckons you need spring compressors, ours is a 100 series but similar set up and springs look the same as yours. Cheers again. Keep trucking mate

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

mate, with the sway bar off, you shouldn't need compressor, just watch brake lines...

i run 35 inch treps on 2inches and they do scrub the back of the front guard

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

Thanks heaps for that info, makes me feel better about changing mine..

[@moparman1506]

I always run BP ultimate diesel in my 79 and never fill when the fuel trucks there ( my golden rules)

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

Excellent advice, cheers

[@andrewdurbidge1283]

Did you do any height changes at the rear? aren't the TT parabolic only a 2" lift and you increased the front to a 3' lift?

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

Yes correct, I only had those 3 inch fronts in while I was testing the treps, im back on 2s now with the 315s, I just ran 20psi in my bags to level it out whilst I was driving it On-road.... Drives much nicer with 2s front and rear....

[@andrewdurbidge1283]

@@TeamBulletOffroad I have 35's on -25 offset from Patriot Campers but they do scrub out the guard so was looking at the extra 1" lift to help clear. Not sure what i am going to do yet....i like to try and keep everything as legal as possible. Thanks for the reply and am enjoying your content... Cheers from another Chippy up in Cairns.

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

@@andrewdurbidge1283 The 3s up front were perfect for the 35s mate.....Cheers buddy

[@bretthogno]

Those aftermarket radius arms bring the whole diff forwards abit too don't they?
Help with clearance bigger tyres and 2" lift?
Cheers

What’s your day job?

Chippy mate.....

[@James-lc2ow]

Bro made me nervous asf watching you put your head under that guard when you were changing them 😅 ... always best to put a couple tires or something under the rig incase your jack fails mate don't want to lose your life over a simple coil change...

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

Thanks for your concern...
