I knew that thing looked familiar- It shares a shitload of components with the Toyota R and W series boxes.  Tore 5 teeth off the input shaft gears by putting my foot down in 5th gear on the freeway!

For maximum fun and reliability, Find a H150F or H151F transmission- Used in the 1FZ/1HD-T 80 series and TD/V8 100 series. They actually put 5th gear in the main cluster rather than languishing out the back of the centre plate on its own, so its fully supported and as strong as all the rest of the gears. it shifts like a god drat truck gearbox if you have the wrong oil in it tho.

That looks amazing - though with past discussions about structural integrity and shear forces, etc - is grade 8 sufficient for something that's going to be hammered from various angles? The ARB steps and scrub bars on my old hilux are only held on with Grade 8.8 hardware and I had the entire weight of the truck leaning on them at one point and they didnt even flinch. You'd love an aussie hilux Kastein, generally the only rust is where theres surface rust where the paint in the tray has been rubbed off!

And maybe something on the legs to stop it falling on you?

That looks like a pain in the arse without a seperate 3rd member. Last toyo diff I did everything from pinion preload to carrier preload was done standing up at the comfort of a work bench. Lifting a 50kg 3rd member above your head and dropping it into the diff housing and trying to get the two 5mm dowels to line up, and then not have the bitch fall out on you while you put the 14 odd bolts in is a ball breaker though.

So let me get this straight... Instead of welding a tube through the chassis/ unibody and then installing a bushing and a thru bolt with a nut they used a bolt into a captive nut? What kind of insanity is that?

Do you guys get the 7 pin flat connectors in the US? I had a 7 pin round on the back of my rear bar and it kept getting the poo poo beaten out of it offroad, so I went for a 7 pin flat and an adaptor to go back to round when needed and it hasnt been hit since.

Theres 3 different ones in use in Aus- 7 pin flat  )7 pin Large round  And 7 pin small round, which is just a 7 pin large with smaller connectors in a tighter arrangement  The 7 pin flats awesome because its so compact and easy to tuck up out of the way, but 7 pin round is pretty much the norm country wide.

Just to really, really annoy you, That 5th gear spacer has the same design fault in it that the one in my old mans prado's Toyota R151F gearbox did- The square cut out causes massive issues with stress risers on the corners and fractures through, splitting the spacer and allowing 5th to wander along the shaft till it eats into the centre plate and locks the gearbox in 5th. The replacement one we got from toyota had rounded corners in the square cut out rather than 90 degree's. His failed at about 200K kms.

Its wierd- Toyota have shoved their version of the AX15- The R151F behind EVERYTHING- 3.0L Turbo diesel 4 pots, 3.0L V6's, 4.2L Diesel 6 pots, 3.0L CRD 4 pots etc etc etc and you never hear of them cracking bell housings!

kastein posted:The problem is, it's standardized but it's so widely known to be standardized that everyone in the industry only publishes the info they need to know what to buy, and I have all the other info because I don't know what matters, so for example it took me several hours to figure out that this flywheel is for a standard "14 inch" (not kidding) clutch, even though I had the exact info on the pressure plate bolt pattern. And several more hours to figure out that the standard input shaft pilot tips are 25mm and 30mm, and there are only two pilot bearings and they each fit one of those to a 62mm bore in the flywheel. Thats about what im going to be spending on a clutch kit for my landcruiser sometime in the next few months. Not gonna push my luck with a 330K kms old factory clutch in a heavy 4wd in the desert again in July!

Many people have tried over the years to cool 4wds with electric fans and every one of em has failed. Why do you think manufacturers like Toyota fit mechanical fans to literally every single 4wd they manufacture. There was a thread on another forum a while back on the topic and someone calculated that a fully locked up fan on an 80 series diesel was moving around 3000cfm at 1200 rpm and north of 9000cfm at 3000 rpm. You can’t match that with electrics in the area you have, which is the other consideration. Things like ultra 4 buggies and trophy trucks have electric fan cooling but they’re also running massive radiators, not sandwiched between the grill and the engine.

cursedshitbox posted:90s Lexus ES300s did this as well, operated by the power assisted steering system. I believe a fair whack of the LS400's did too, it was often a dilemma for people doing 1UZ swaps into hilux's was how to drive the fan

kastein posted:Sure beats the cement mixer trucks I've heard of with a literal hole in the middle of the radiator where a shaft needs to go through it for some reason. They run the hydraulic pump off the front of the crank, but it has to live out in the bumper for space reasons. Dunno why they dont just run a flywheel PTO like most other trucks? The drilling rig I used to run when i was doing geo sampling had a hole through the middle of a fuel tank for a PTO shaft. It was the dumbest thing I have ever seen because there was room on the side of the transfer case for a hydraulic pump to be mounted directly to the PTO!

And as a bonus they dont know poo poo about what they're selling. Theres a 4WD specific wrecker near me thats shocking for that. A good example is alternators for landcruisers. If you have the 105 series, it comes with the 1HZ diesel, which is worth about $2K on a good day. If you've got a 100, you've got the 1HD-FTE diesel, which is worth $20K with 300K on it. So If i go to the wreckers asking for an alternator for my 100 series, they'll ask $300 for one. If I go to them and ask for an alternator for a 1HZ 105 series, they'll want $140 for it. They're the same loving part number from Toyota. Toyota just fitted the same 120A alternator to both the 100 and 105 diesels. loving muppets.

Apparently the Milwaukee M18 transfer pump can punch gear oils around quite nicely if it’s not negative degrees outside

I've just got a 5L garden pump up weed sprayer that I've taken the wand off so its just a hose (I actually extended the hose to about 3M so the tank can sit out from under the car) and added a tyre stem to the side of it. I ended up pulling the factory overpressure release vent out cos it went off too early pumping 90w140 gear oil and replaced it with a steel plug that blows out at about 35psi. Put in the amount the diff/gearbox/transfer holds + 500-1000ml, stick hose in hole, pump up to 20psi with tyre inflator and go off and do something else while it fills. just come back every now and then and refill the air. As soon as it overflows you just unscrew the lid to release the pressure and oil flow stops. Basically just repurposed something like this! https://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-2-Gal-Pump-Sprayer-1502HDXA/307766539
