Replace everything in there, get the flywheel machined. Get a new release/throw out bearing, the pilot bearing which sits at the end of the transmission shaft should also be changed. And buy a NPC heavy duty clutch, they're awesome lol Also clean everything up in whilst your in there.

Here's one of 'Ol Cranky' up on some blocks I made to rip the broken guts out. They'll also come in handy to spray the bottom with Inox before a beach run . With summer just around the corner down under, I plan on plenty of beach runs.

Here's a couple little extras I did to keep 'Ol Cranky' current. I put in a new stereo and speakers, also a new 80 channel uhf. As you can see, I also made a cup holder set lol . Got sick of having nowhere to put my coffee.

Here's a pic of the new 7" spots and light bar. They're only cheapies, but man they work sweet. I did a quick photo edit and blacked out my number plate, looks a bit dodgy lol

Yeh we don't really salt our roads in Australia. They might do it down south in Alpine country during winter. Even than I don't think they use it much. As for lanotec being a good protector, I'd say it's the best protector I've ever used. But the reason I don't like its stickyness is because I...

My mate put them in his 2012 troopy. I gotta say, I could feel the difference to the standard OME ones he had before. If I had the coin, I'd definitely get them in my old Cranky LC.

Well this latest fix has me thinking of upgrading the old 1hz to a 1hz-t. Since I've got a strengthened gearbox, transfer case and heavy duty clutch. I'm thinking of rebuilding the 1hz with upgraded internals and throwing on a turbo kit and bigger exhaust. My 1hz has plenty of life in it, but a...

Here's where the gearbox decided to strip out, talk about a crap day getting it out of this freezing muck. LOL

Well I put a reco gearbox and transfer case in my LC, all is good with the ol rig again. I got a modified box, one piece main shaft and upgraded gears with full teeth. Feels good, goes good.

Mate, honestly I don't like it. I bought a 5ltr lanotec heavy duty to spray underneath my truck as "Roothy" recommended. I found that as a protective layer, it works, but it's almost like a grease once the thinner evaporates. Than it becomes a crap collector, picking up bloody everything that'll...

Well this sux to write, I've been having a ball in my truck but it all came to an end today. I went to take off and CRUNCH, I think might have destroyed my output shaft ☹️

Mate I went down to supercheap and bought a set of the Sony 4" speakers they sell. They have a mini tweeter built in and sound way better than any other 4" I've ever heard. They cost about $45 and fit sweet. Only thing you'll need to do is put a small spacer on each mount to make a bit of room...

Well I found the culprit, a wire that was broken inside the protective conduit just before the solenoid. Explains why I couldn't get the darn SUB tank to work. Trouble is, there was no marks on the conduit to see damage. The only thing I can think of is the conduit got caught when the mechanics...

Thanks heaps for the reply mate, I work 12 to 14 hour shifts so I haven't been on in a few days. I've got tomorrow off work so I'll jump under and check it out.

Darn no replies Oh well I give up lol I've booked it into a diesel specialist for Wednesday morning. I'll check back in with the fix so that there is at least something out there about it.

Hey guys, Well today I took my 2002 HZJ79r LC for a good 4wd day trip, and before we left I filled both my diesel tanks. Mine has factory fitted individual 90ltr tanks, both have their own filler necks. One under the rear tray, the main in the regular spot. I can't find much on the internet...

Well I must say I'm really impressed with the NPC clutch, I went for a 4wd today and unfortunately the track was severely washed out. We pushed on but it consisted of allot of rock crawling, allot of the rocks were loose and about football size scattered all over the track. To top it off the...

Y Yeh thanks mate, it's my first one. She needs a bit of TLC but I'll slowely bring it up to speed over the next few months. After that it'll be my daily driver as the little car I bought for to and from work will go to my eldest daughter. I love driving it, feels like a rig with high seat...

Sorry for late reply mate, just figured out my LCC emails were going to junk box. It's a local manufacturer called Performance NPC clutches (Brisbane, Australia). They make some bloody good gear, I've never owned one but have 2 mates who run them in their late model LC 79 series V8 diesels. The...

Wow, nice rig I love the rear set-up

Just insane some of them, seriously stupid most others. Couple of good ones

This is my new (old) LC I haven't taken it off-road yet as I'm currently going over the beast to make sure everything is ok and up to the task. I'm putting in a heavy duty clutch next week, and after that I'll do a rebuild on the swivel hubs and add new wheel bearings all around. I'll do all new...

G'day all, My name is Graeme, I'm located at Brisbane Australia and have just purchased my first LC. It's a 2002 HZJ79 cab chassis. I've only done a small amount of off-road driving over the years, mostly on farms when shooting, nothing full on. I've done a few beach fishing trips but by no...
