Well, low certainly increases torque to the axles. But "powered 4wd" is only achieved with 3 locks - 1 center and 2 axles. A switch on the center only ensures power to each axle (2wd) Not each wheel (4wd) It could be said that today's AWD is yesterdays "4WD" in the sense that - in my '80s/'90s...

It absolutely is a game changer...when as you say you intend to add axle locks. But I want to clarify something mentioned above. A single locker - center diff or otherwise - simply splits input power 50% between two outputs. Where both axles are open (no locker), a center diff lock only...

Recommend shopping for petrol engine parts and diesel body parts, tho not sure there is any diff in body parts between petrol and diesel. Try this: https://toyota-general.epc-data.com/land_cruiser/hzj80l/8780/

Worth $15k+ USD, prob +ship too. Any 80 under 200kmi brings nice purse in US. Especially with no luggage rack, the side markers, and rear carrier. :thumbup:

+1 - re-gearing and it's associated costs makes sense for 35" and up. (diesels notwithstanding) While I noticed a difference when I went to 33's, it's not so bad that a re-gear was absolutely necessary. But I can tell that 35's will definitely require a re-gear...prob in the 4.88 range in...

Wth are you supposed to do with that?

It's called the 'pin 7' mod. It consists of the center diff lock button and a jumper wire config. (not to be confused with the '7 pin' mod. This is simply the addition of the center diff lock button in non-button-equipped rigs). Search ih8mud.com for (several) full write up(s). I'm running...

Hi there, so happy to find this forum. Great place to learn more about the legendary rig we all love. My 1993 (poverty pack) is named 'Smitty'. He's pushing 470km+ on the factory head gasket. Purchased in 2017 and base-lined till 2019, his build-out is geared to provide renewable compressed...

+1 Paul Marsh.

That's what it sounds like. We weren't privy to the really cool options like a factory winch or the rear tire carrier. :frowning:

On US models it means there's 'Food Behind'. :think: Hotdog by the look of it.

10 degree 'dead spot' is wear @ the power piston, worm gear, and balls. Don't mess with your balls and just fix the problem (2020USD) 1 - 04445-60050 - steering box reseal kit - EBAY- $110 2* - 44154-30020 - power piston plunger guide nut - Partsouq - $5 (*2 because I thought just the reseal...

In a land ...where pot is legal and the gov't pays it's workers too much (former, so I know)... I bet half the rigs on this forum can bring $10k+ (USD +ship/customs) easy, no sweat.

That's insane. Hat's off to you. show us how it turns out.:thumbup:

This is normal. What is your experience with other manual shift rigs? Are you in low range? Sounds tight and right to me.

ih8mud.com Better all day long.

Couple options: 1 - I used pipe dope, the purple and orange combo for pvc pipe. Applied in layers about 45 mins apart, it creates a 'globby stiffness' with some pliability. Allowed the post to be glued back together but then also take new screw that could be tightened quite a bit. 2 - Bracket...

If +E isn't common between them, then the draw is specific to just the one +E you decided to tap.

Muppets. Winch + goes to one batt. Winch - goes to the other batt. (dual-batt setup of course) You can add a dash-switched relay on the +side of that circuit for extra protection(control) if desired. (how mine is wired) Overall, you get the benefit of dual batt headroom without concern for...

The knob is original, along with what the knob screws into (OEM rails). The crossbars are not original. And, tho, not germane to the convo. Glad you got it handled. So...when's the 3" lift going on?
