I’ve got 2 Red top Optimas from 2014 in mine. Haven’t ever had a problem until the alternator died. Hooked it up to the Optima charger and it‘s back in the truck. I know a bunch of people have had issues with Optima batteries since they moved their manufacturing plant. However that hasn’t...

Speed Engineering Inch and seven eighths tubes, three inch collectors

I get it. My 6.2 blew an oil line hose and the engine locked up which then prompted my swap. However for where I live now (CO) and what I do (driving up into the mountains) with the truck now the 6.2 would be absolutely miserable.

I did the whole 6.0 LQ4 LS, 4L80E, NP-205 swap for just the TR-6060 cost. Highway speeds aren’t a problem with a 4 speed when you ditch the 6.2. Pic is from recent trip from VA to CO and no I don’t normally run the truck at 80 mph. I was curious what the RPM would be at 80mph.

Just saw this…I’ll call you later today.

Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac 235/85/16. 50k mileage tire. Does exceptionally well in mud and snow. Load E rating.

To say that I’m happy with my choice to go with the 6.0 is an understatement. I just drove from VA to CO 7-8-24 to 7-10-24 and the truck ran great! I was driving 70-75 most of the way. No way that happens with the 6.2! First pic is driving thru Tropical Storm Beryl. I’m running Goodyear...

After losing a rubber oil line while pushing snow in 2018 the 6.2 locked up. The truck sat for 5 years I was busy running my business until I closed it in 2022 and sold the business in 2024. In an effort to raise funds…due to my new “toy” philosophy. I listed the other 2x M1008 I had for...

What did Leroy say? I can’t believe they don’t offer any type of a warranty?!?!? I dropped a 6.0 LQ9, 4L80E, NP-205 after my 6.2 locked up due to a blown oil cooler line and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a repower!

I had some time last night and found myself watching YouTube videos of CUCV 6.0 LS engine swaps. While I wait on my steering box to be rebuilt. I highly recommend watching the Mohawk Garage channel CUCV. He documents the process really well with 35 videos and verbal explanations. He shows...

I just did a 6.0 LQ9 engine swap and don’t need mine. If things w/ @79Vette don’t work out let me know. Same offer he made on just cover shipping.

Where’d the engine come from? Is there a warranty?

After reaching out to Redhead power steering gear and getting a quote….I’ve decided to send it off to them and have it rebuilt. They come highly recommended from fellow Land Cruiser buddies. If you buy their box (part# 2858 ) and send in your core it’s $316 plus tax and shipping. If you want...

So to clarify if I swap my current steering to cross over steering I could get a 2WD box and use that on my 4WD truck?

Thank you for your reply. I clicked on the ORD link and they don’t offer a ‘80-‘87 4WD box. Only ‘88-‘98 and ‘99-‘06. However they do offer a 2WD box for ‘80-‘87 but it mentions crossover steering. Can the 2WD box be used on a 4WD truck? Maybe I’m missing something?

Looking for suggestions on power steering box replacements. Brand? Place to purchase from? Send it off to get rebuilt? What have you guys used? Mine is shot. The pitman arm moves vertically up and down when the wheel is turned back and forth. This causes sporadic steering of the truck...

I received both the SF-97 and bill of sale today at 3:41pm. I don’t know if calling made a difference or it was just a coincidence?!?!?
