White knuckle off road but they are in the US. Toyota 80 Series Land Cruiser / Lexus LX450 Rock Sliders - White Knuckle Off Road Products - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Sorry, I just saw that this thread is for the 100 series, apologies to all.

The alternator also has a pivot that is underneath the alternator with a bolt that should be loosened as well. Care should be taken with the tensioner bolt, I snapped mine because I didn’t loosen the lock bolt first.

I paid $1500 including S&H for the Torqit shipped to the US from Australia.

The above picture is NOT from an 80 series LC. Could be a 100 series.

I have been very pleased with the 3” pipe from Torqit of Australia. It’s made from 304 stainless and has all of the hardware included. Really nice set up for the price. 4WD Performance Exhausts & Products : Torqit - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Partsouq in Dubai (?) is also a great resource for parts or to look up part numbers. I have bought many parts from them and shipping was very fast (not cheap!!) good luck.

I have the hand throttle lever which could be used to help. I will report back what happens……probably in January.

Not sure if adjustment is needed as I did this delete in the heat of the summer. Over 90F in the garage at the time. I will surely find out as cooler and colder weather approaches.

Ih8mud.com in the resources section has quite a selection of manuals available.

All, I removed the ACSD from my 1 HDT equiped 80 series. After research, apparently the ACSD could cause some serious issues to include destruction of the IP. It was a fiddly job with tight spaces and small parts. I used the delete kit from Back40 imports. I also purchased some new SS hex bolts...

Just in case anyone is interested…….. 4x Splash Guards Mud Flaps for Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series 1990-1997 4.0L 4.5L | eBay - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] I have not purchased these but I might If nothing else is found.

Would torque values be different for different lug nuts? I know that torque value s would be different for steel vs Aluminum wheels.

All, I made some shims using scrap metal (disregard the plastic pieces in the photo, they were not needed.) and mounted them on top of the rubber dampening assembly. The hanger rests on to top of the shims. There was not a lot of extra bolt for the mounting nuts to screw down on to but even if...

Thanks Dave, yes, I agree. I don’t have any carpet on the lower rear door, I did remove the inspection panels and found one of the control rods to be loose but couldn’t figure out how to tighten it. I will dive back in there when I get a chance. The new exhaust has a small amount of clearance...

Hahaha, well, another smaller rattle has started up. Sectional exhaust systems no doubt require a bit of trial and error to adjust for rattle free operation. It is curious that it didn’t sound outside the Crusier, just on the interior. My son stood outside and couldn’t here anything on the...

All, I found it. That rattle was coming from the last tail pipe section. The hanger bracket was touching the body. I readjusted the hanger by loosening the tail pipe section and once in place, I bolted everything back together. I have a feeling this new exhaust is going to be trial and error as...

No spare wheel down below, tires are 33” and won’t fit. Some of the clearances are tight but the pipe itself on all mounts is solid.

Ok, I will post up a video next week, I am at work and away from the truck. I did just install a brand new 3” exhaust from Torquit and am really hoping it’s not that.

All, I have noticed a recent “rattle” that has developed after a new exhaust system install. It occurs sometimes when driving, going over bumps etc but it is not consistent. It is really noticeable when the engine is shut off. It is not the exhaust itself but somewhere internal inside the cabin...

You would need to look up the “Active Vacation” package for the series 80 in Japan. It came with some sort of sleeping arrangement, a sink that was plumbed to a water tank(?) and electrical power outlets. Pretty rare version outside of Japan. A guy over on ih8mud bought one that was imported and...

Resurrecting this thread again…… Aluminum wheels OEM torque spec is……… 76 ft/lb, 97 ft/lb, 105 ft/lb is there a consensus? Thank you.

Is the “ASCD” that you are talking about the “Auto Cold Start Device” or ACSD?

Looking for some mud flap recommendations as well for a factory running board delete.

Great read. Thank you for posting.

Very nice LC. Good luck with the sale.

This has been an excellent read all the way through. Lots of informative reference in here. Great pictures and synopsis of problems and issues. I will be using this thread in the future. I purchased my 1990 HDJ81 RHD, 1-HDT equipped Land Cruiser this past January. Lots of maintenance and...

Excellent, here to learn.

Thank you for posting, very helpful.

Hello to all, Whilst driving the other day, at reasonable highway speed on the interstat, I noticed that when going over bumps in the road, my LC ”danced” quite a bit. The rear shocks might be long overdue and possibly the springs as well. opinions on either a stock OEM part swap out or a custom...

Greeting to all, I just became the proud owner of a 1990 HDJ81 RHD 80 series Land Cruiser. I am here to learn and read all I can.
