Who is doing what maintenance today?

[Chas]

Damn. Pity. Hope you get it sorted asap

I've just bought another from the same seller, the first one arrived in 3 days so it should be OK.

Just finished servicing the LC. changed all the oils again, the axles and transfer where still golden but changed them anyway

Even changed the timing belt for genuine Toyota as last time i bought a kit from milners and put a mitsuboshi belt on, it still looked OK but I have piece of mind now.

all i need to to now is change the steering rack bushes for the poly ones.

Yeah mine used to look like that, nowadays I can just about squeeze the 80 in. Does that ladder lead up to the rest room?

Ya I'm stoked. Moved my stuff in here last week and just getting everything setup. I'm sharing the unit with another guy. It sure beats my shed and driveway!

No maintenance, but I seem to have planned part of a trip...

Oops... It wasn't much longer coming back via SA... mind you I might try to squeeze in VIC and ACT and then I'll have done all the States and Territories in one trip... but that then means going near Sydney...

Got a set of oem genuine Toyota belts from Toyota recently. What was stamped on them?
Yep. Mitsuboshi and the new genuine oil filter said made in Taiwan
I do plan to inflate my tyres with genuine Toyota air though
Can't be too careful [emoji1]

 

[MarkW]

Is that the red or green air Chris?

Oh well at least you tried Chris. be careful with that toyota air, you only need half the normal amount, its that good

 

[Chris]

It's the red Mark but according to the FSM must be drained and refilled every 25k it's hideously expensive but you take your chance and ill take mine confident that my 20 year old truck has never suffered a puncture whilst filled with OEM genuine air installed by a dealer technician
What more proof do you need?

Didn't know about only using half the amount though
Should I go to dealer and have some taken out?

My wife might actually believe that…after inflating tyres on her Mini many years ago and being asked by the attendant if she needed a hand…'no, I'm fine thanks' she said. Then followed a nasty tearing ripping sound followed by a loud bang!! The helpful attendant piped up…'think you might have over inflated that luv'…must have been OEM air I guess…[emoji6]

changed engine oil and oil,air and fuel filters but couldn't undo the filler nuts on the front and back diffs so i am going to try again tomorrow with a chisel and hammer
is there any other easier way of getting this undone, the drain plugs are ok it's just filler plugs,they have been rounded off nicely by po
ram

 

[joinerman]

Golden rule number one

ALWAYS undo the filler plug before the drain plug !!!!

 

[Chris]

Oops
I'd get a 24mm socket and face it off to remove the bevel inside - if you can
It stops the socket slipping off the very thin nut

 

[AndyCook]

Forgot to take my special faced-off 24mm socket to Iceland, so when I checked diff oil I rounded off filler nut slightly with to the bevel edge 24mm socket I had with me... I can still undo it though, but new nut and washer on Order

Before I killed my filler plug on the front diff of the 100 I just give it 20-30 seconds with the oxy acetylene just around the thread area and it just undid with ease did not need much heat at all.

Once out I gave the plug a clean up on the bench grinder wire wheel and put some copper slip on the threads hopefully next time it will undo with ease.

Rear transfer case seal and bearing changed. Damn snap rings were a pain. Is there an better type of snap ring plier to use on the Toyota style snap rings. My Clarke ones just aren't cutting it.
