Hell yea I picked up last year an 88 FJ62 3fe I wanna do this delete for sure no inspection here in Arkansas and im just using the thing around town and on trails', and on my property.

Hello taking a shot in the dark here but is there any way you could drop the part number for that belt? Lerms doesn’t seem to sell them currently and I will be doing eveything similar just scrounging up my own plugs and hardware all I need is that belt. Thanks

Where is a good place to source hoses and even clamps?

Will this kit fit a 105 series? Basically a 100 series body on a 80 series chassis

I'm sure that was a fun trip and a nice video. But I couldn't hear what you were saying over the music!

Is there a kit like this for a 97 fzj80 4.5?

what's the part number/name for the hose at 2:52

Do you have a link for this kit?

Burnt knob look out . If you go up the trail on the Ridgeline from there you will pick up the original Nez Pierce indian trail that originaly started that entire coridore .. Alot of really cool history in there .

I was the first to fully desmog a 3FE (EGR delete, air injection system removal, and cat removal), back in 2004/2005 on my FJ62. That guide you reference is the one I wrote and posted to IH8Mud back in 2005. 19 years later and I have zero regrets. It's still a great way to free up power otherwise robbed from the engine, remove unreliable components (due to excessive age and wear at this point), simplify the engine layout, further increase its longevity, and free up real estate in the engine bay. Something to add that's not really desmog related but will help immensely with keeping your air intake clean is to plumb in a PCV catch can in line between your PCV valve and the intake manifold. Doing that along with eliminating the introduction of carbon from the EGR system by doing the EGR delete will allow your intake manifold to stay completely clean inside for the life of the engine. If you really want to "do it right" you could take off the manifold and get it hot tanked so you're starting with a pristine intake and no more buildup of EGR carbon or PCV sludge in it. As far as kits, Vintage TEQ Parts (no business affiliation; we do help each other often on Cruiser related tech issues though) is putting together a full 3FE desmog kit that'll have all the OEM Toyota parts necessary to do the job (save for a PCV catch can, since that's not part of the overall desmog process). It'll have a few different parts from what I originally used to streamline the process a little, based on small refinements I've made since first doing my desmog.

Good thing 3FE is cast iron block, cast iron head. Though not ideal, but it can cope better with those higher temps.

Awesome video, thank you! It'd be great if you could post a link to the kit you've purchased. Thank you!

1:01:57 looks perfect. I had to do this so many times too. You fix one and the other goes whack. i finally said, this is it and closed up. it worked fine :)

Sorry to say I stopped watching the video once you broke that bolt😂

I’m about to embark on this exact journey. I’ve got a 91 that’s starting to weep antifreeze from the pump area. I figured I’d also change the hoses and other misc items like you while I’m in there. Any chance you’ve got a parts list?!!

What's your take on 4.88 gearing now that you've gone LS swap? Also, when LS swap video(s)?

Just did this to my 91 and I can definitely tell there is more pep in its step!

Why didn't you buy another battery for the jeep

A little late to the show but I'm so happy I found your channel! I have the exact same fj80 as you, and this has inspired my confidence to take on the DIY life. Thank you friend.

Great helpful video, question, did your land cruiser have a Lean to the right after the install? I installed my springs the one labeled A went on the driverside and B went to the passenger side, is that wrong?

Anther nice video, thanks. It seems odd to bolt the body, which is rubber mount to the frame, to the slider which are hard mount to the frame, Is that typical to most sliders? Thanks again for the videos, I'm going through your library now, they're all good.

Wow, you did a great job on both the bumper and the video, thanks.

Hello Mr how are you? I have a question for you about the differentials, can I replace the gears on the back diferencial only?

Caster!

Hey i love your channel i just picked up a 96 cruiser for myself been wanting one for a long time was lucky to get a good deal on it watching this video was very helpful for me as I'm still learning on how to work and maintain mine i just got! Thank you for taking the time and showing us these helpful videos keep up the good work. Subscribed!

Question I might have missed this on the thread what lift height did you do for your vehicle ?

It often helps to loosen all the bolts for the upper/lower trailing arms and track bar to allow the axle to drop more when installing longer shocks.

Great video and very informative. I am glad to see you using the 12 ton shop press from Harbor Frieght, I just got one myself, the 20 ton, (for suspension bushings on my HDJ81). Thank you for posting.

Wow. Lotta work.

Hmmm.. can't see this well.. but to me he is fasten the bloody thing and that with leverage!

This is awesome!!! Thank you. I’m gonna do mine soon.

Why on earth are you playing this music???? It's impossible to hear your voice or what you are saying.

You can just do a double nut if you ever need to get that threaded plug out. How would you rate the difference between before the kit and after. I am going to swap my landcruiser but in the mean time while I wait for this motor to die I want to try and get a little more performance and gas mileage. The way it sits now it just seems tired but I still have no problems going up anything. I don't know about you but if I had 100,000 miles or less I wouldn't change the motor but as I approach up 300,000 I am torn between the good ole LS swap or a diesel swap like a duramax 6.6 or a cummins 5.9

Well done!

Thank you so much for your quality videos and the recommendation on the KIT from Lerm's. I just completed my delete on my 91 FJ 80 and your video totally helped! Keep them coming. have you ever done a coolant flush replacement?

Do not buy the desmog kit from Lerms. It's been several months and no update as to when I will receive parts. Money down drain and months waiting for parts

Wish I had the parts # for that belt

What can I check, do you think maybe the fusible link

Hi how are you? I did all the work to erase the egr but no lock, to start the engine, it cranks but don't start,

Great to see you Zack!! Looks like you're sponsored. I have never before been happy to see ads on a video. I think you videos are awesome, but I might be biased. Your Uncle Mike. (How the heck did you figure out that wiring?)

I see you have the semi float.

Revisiting this vid before I pull off my front bumper and recondition every bit of frame surface I can reach. Amazing how much you've done since this shoot. Bravo brother. Bravo.

Interesting. I have a 1992 that I just got a new (rebuilt) engine in mine, a host of other stuff done, should have had them do this while that was happening.

How's the LS swap coming along?

I was hoping you would state size of fan nuts when removing fan. I got one nut off but the next one was a different size I spent 40 minutes trying ever spanner and even various shifters but the nut wouldn’t budge. Thanks for the starter bump tip to get the but to an easier position Cheers Dave

Question please why did you change the diff is it because the lack of power on bigger tires? And why did you have to do the front as surely not in 4x4 modes all time. And last is the new gearing 4.88 to1 hope you got the power you wanted thankfully 👍

Hi, my name is Dave. I met you a few days ago when your group came through Fort Bragg Calif after coming down from Lake Tahoe. I had the brown 1998 two wheel drive Dodge Ram 2500. I checked this video a few days ago, and wow was it great. I love watching the trails you and others go on. So scenic, and of course heart pounding. Keep up the adventure. Looks like a great way to explore, relax and be terrified at the same time. I'll check out your other videos over the next couple of months. I follow a lot of Overlander's and had to subscribed to your channel too. Take care and stay well.

Hows the exhaust wrap holding up? Was there a significant drop in temperature coming off the exhaust where you wrapped it?

1 year later, any thoughts/regrets? Thinking about pulling the trigger on this very soon.

2 years ago did Utah Idaho OCT time trip in my 1996 LX450 what a trip that was fantastic views and test for this old Cruiser .....have not let me down .Cheers \-/
