Peace of mind is a good thing to have. Might go that route with the solid flanges in the future. For now, I haven't had the misfortune of dealing with people tampering with the hubs.

Will keep that in mind.... and will have to put my manual front hubs in the "Lock" position first...! My slow driving hasn't allowed me to experience having the front end lose grip or get skittish (except in the deep snow) as yet despite having driven in and through deep puddles and flooded roads.

Definitely have manual locking hubs in the front. Fully aware now that the hubs have to be in the "Lock" position for the front wheels to be engaged when in 4H Even though I'm know you can switch on the fly between 2H and 4H (with the hubs locked), I will continue my practice of switching...

I'll give that a try... I was always a bit paranoid about engaging the 4H while rolling slowly.

Thanks, that clears up a lot of my doubts.

btw, Wobbly thanks for your response.

Okay, so let me see if I understand this... 1) To get all 4 wheels powered, "4H" needs to be engaged AND the manual front hubs in the "Lock" position. 2) The truck can be operated (when offroad, i.e. gravel, mud, snow, dirt, shallow streams, rocky roads, etc) with the front hubs in the "Lock"...

Would like some clarification on this... I have a 1992 LJ70 SWB, 2LT engine, with manual front locking hubs. Been bombing around the countryside and having a great time driving through shallow mud and up steep hills... I haven't had any problems until recently... went up the mountain past the...

Yup, it is definitely a long and useful thread... I'm looking into getting those gauges and will be fitting my truck with them.

Crusher, thanks for the advice. Looking into it... :thumbup:

Ah, found out what the 'pyro' is... it's a pyrometer. Reading up on it now...

Didn't hear a 'hiss' as it was opened. Crusher, forgive my limited knowledge at this time, but what is a pyro? But more importantly, what would you say could be the other parts of the issue?

Hello everyone, New to the forum and learning lots about my 1992 LJ70 (swb). It has the 2.4 turbo diesel engine (2L-T) Pics are in the Introduction section. Three days ago I recently went on a off road trip and everything was more or less great. The only issue I had was that on long, steep...

Thanks Julian. Ben, I don't have any plans to modify it as yet. Still finding out what this truck is capable of. So far, I've done trails that range from gravel roads, rocky river beds, to muddy (about 1/2' deep) forestry service road and I've been able to go through them without any...

Hi Ben, Thanks for the kind words about the truck. My knowledge regarding these trucks is currently limited as I'm new to the 4x4 world, especially the Land Cruisers. From what I've learnt so far, the older Land Cruisers (e.g. BJ42s) were sold in the Canadian market. I'm not sure when they...

Hello everyone, Currently in Vancouver, Canada and have gotten the offroading bug. Recently picked up my first 4x4 and it's a LandCruiser and am really enjoying the experiences it's allowing me to have. It's a 1992 LJ70 with the 2.4 Turbo Diesel (2-LT) engine and manual transmission. Here are...
