GOLDEN!! Love the Long-Form repair videos ❤… I know some people don’t have time for an hour+ video, but they have a fast-forward button for a reason😊 These Long-Form videos give those EXPERT tech tips that I find are the HIDDEN GOLD if you’re willing to dig for the information by watching.
That brought back a lot memories of rebuilding the front knuckles and hubs of my 1967 Toyota Land Cruiser. That Land Cruiser was built like a tank. Thanks
I've done many "birf jobs" on 40-series, 60-series, and 80-series Land Cruisers over the years, so it's fun to watch someone else do this messy job instead of it being me.
97k!!!! Mine has almost 300K and runs like a top! This is the worst job on the truck you can do but it is easy to keep clean if you go slow. Great video! You can see how clean I keep mine to watch the birfs at all times. The lift "danger" up in the air is uncomfortable but you should see it in the driveway on jack stands! Multiple supports in the event on fails. :) LOVE this channel!
Ive been a Honda guy most of my life. Started watching your channel years ago, not for the love of toyotas, but just how great the content was. Also very refreshing to see such a stand up, honest mechanic. Tough to find nowadays. Anyways, i now own a 24 4 runner, and picking up a 25 camry tomorrow. Youve definitely sold me on toyota. No regrets thus far. Keep up the great content!
Dear Sir, as a happy owner of a series 80 TLC DIY'er, every minute spent watching your video is so worthwhile to learn how to do the job correctly. Sincere thanks for making this. I will be more confident-and competent- when i do the job myself. ✌️
For the day before Thanksgiving, "Wrench-Turner's Comfort Food" (for the senses) - This brings back memories from 40-50 years ago, first working with dad on cars in the 70s, and working on Toro Golf Course Equipment in the 80s. Thank you for the memories!
I would have been cursing it around 28:30... This is like comfort food from my wrench turning back 40 years ago. I can smell the grease and oil. Thank you and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I'll never forget when I rebuilt the knuckles on my '91 FJ80. All Toyota parts, did it the best I could, followed the FSM and I must've done something wrong on the driver's side knuckle. Developed a seep and fluid contamination not long after. Passenger side was fine, though. 😅
I just want to said that I have been watching your videos and I have learned so much and I just want to say that you and keep it up for people like me who love those FJ80.
I didn’t saw you installing the washer between the outer hub bearing and the inner lock nut minute 58:08. I love your channel and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. 58:40
I read that early on about him that he was totally legit and have been a client of his since he opened his shop. It's a pleasure to drive a 150 miles to get my cars serviced.
I have been watching you for several years. I only wish I could make you in charge of my 3 vehicles. (2.5 hr. Away does not work for me. Also lately your info is way over my head. Love you for your honesty.
What a treat before Thanksgiving a great “watch Ahmed work” long format video. These are the ones I love. Please keep them coming my friend, very helpful and informative and entertaining with the “benny hill style” sped up hammering.. lol.. to those complaining of the length, speed the video up or watch it in segments.. having made a few videos myself I can attest that “the job takes what it takes” to get done. Happy Thanksgiving Ahmed!
Been there done that. Wasn’t at all surprised to see the run time. Fun trivia #1: Marlin Crawler tried really hard to introduce a better seal they called the EcoSeal or something similar. Was a Disaster for some installers. IIRC, Slee Offroad had a bunch of comebacks from the first gen of them. It’s the only consistent Marlin product failure I ever heard of, and I don’t think the LandCruiser world wanted to try those seals again.. Fun trivia #2. Toyota has pretty good steering geometry on the FJ80 near stock ride height, but inadequate steering studs. They tend to work loose from the steering force of 35-37” tires. Once loaded in sheer, they will fail and drop the steering arm and knuckle bearing. Aside from checking torque frequently, there are higher tensile strength studs available from ARP. Online consensus tends to be that it isn’t an issue with near stock setups. I personally would not even consider an OEM one. Toyota had serious strength issues. That being said, I’d be careful with the wear characteristics of the longfields I picked. Some higher strength alloys wear faster, so aren’t a good replacement for non competition use or use without a part time conversion. But you don’t have to pick an alloy with a wear problem to get the improved geometry.
"It's good to go back to the good old days." LOL, until it's not. I, for one, am thankful that I'll never have to adjust distributor point gaps again! :D
The only thing I'd do different is use Marlin Crawler HD Inner Axle Seals. There are just a few aftermarket things that are truly upgrades over OEM Toyota.
Just listen to the sounds as he starts it, puts his seat belt on, shifts it into gear. Folks, they don't make them like this anymore. Cherish these special machines. Happy Thanksgiving to the Ibraheems!!!
no wonder that service costs thousands its a lot of work when people dump them when they are due because of the expense...even I have a slide hammer remover and im not a professional and use your costco parts discount for parts i forget how much you get but its worth it for the service parts, oil etc
Heh...and here's me thinking I'd do the job myself on my 2006 Cruiser. Off to get a second mortgage on the house. A most excellent video. Just a Question: Is the assembly on the 80 series different to the 2006 model?
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best, how would you rate the '05 SR5 4Runner with the V6 in terms of reliability and overall build-quality? I bet your "shop supplies" charge for that job is significant!

I love your videos but I don’t watch as many as I’d like because it’s such a huge investment of time. I’m just giving feedback. 1hr and 12 minutes is over 4% of a whole day.
Unfortunately, the time required to thoroughly explain the repair and thought process is not short and sometimes it can seem long but boy am I glad when it's my turn to use his video to guide a repair that everything is so in-depth.
@@BOBBY-et9xb There is a simple fix for your dilemma. Don't watch the "long" videos. This is not Tik Tok where you only need an attention span of 10 seconds, and learn NOTHING. His videos are not just entertainment, it's also educational and can serve as reference material when you want to perform the same procedure on you own car in the future.

For stuck seals try a slide hammer with hook attachment. That will often get it out.
Yup, I start with a couple hits in a slight angle with my air hammer just to loosen it. An air hammer would have cut this job in half the time.
What I like from it is that you show easy and hard jobs; super!!!

I did this job 35 years ago on my '74 FJ40. it was messssy! Did it in the driveway without a lift :(
Brings back memories LOL!
I love the hammer “negotiations” 😆 It’s great to see how you tackle problems that don’t work out with plan A, B, C, etc.
Thanks so much for doing this video! I've put off doing this job for quite some time. I don't have anymore excuses to get it done now. 😊
man seeing him take that seal out was awesome. Time and patience. And yea fuck that seal.
I had land cruisers for 22 years. Did this job so many times. Fj40, fj62, fj80, and the 100 series.

I put the trunion bearing races in the freezer overnight and pull them out just before installing them. That helps with the install.
I don't own or plan to own one of these but it is very nice to watch!
Great video Amit....as always! God bless!
In Australia we usually replace the bushes in the stud Axel's with the needle roller bearing. That Toyota updated in the 105 series solid front axel,
Damn! That thing is cleaner than the board of health.
i have done many of these. if you ever need LandCruiser parts im happy to help. i live in australia. working on these on the daily here

Good video hard job that seal stuck very good . Landcruiser always have this problem
It's amazing Toyota still have parts for this 1997 L Cruiser. On my 1997 camry most of the parts I need are no longer available at the dealerships.
Interesting old school design! As you say “Chisel and Hammer” repair that can be fixed by the village mechanics around the world.
The "rite of passage" job for any 80 owner.
Enjoying your video A lot.
Thank you.

Only 97k miles on the joint? those should last way longer than that.
Oh my .. LOL!! Ain't the first time I seen grease globs like that. Those were called Land Crushers back then ... now they are getting too fancy. ;)
Apply a little heat with a torch on those bearings when they stick....like butter.

Thanks!
Can you let us know what was the issue with the 2022 Corolla? I believe it was fouling spark plugs.
What is the simple fix you mentioned at 31:00 if you accidentally scratch the surface where the seal goes?

How do you order parts from Japan? Is there a website for Toyota parts from there?
One of the vehicles Toyota ever built.
So you can’t lift it from the where the lower arms connect to the frame, like a ram 2500 for example?
I wonder how many rags and gloves get used and discarded on a daily basis in this shop...
*How is the vehicle not "RUSTY" underneath.*
👍🏼
needed this for not too many miles on the car, why ? neglect ? age?
Nooo... brass punch or drift for the cone washers!
He does it the same way I do. I do not like to pound on the studs.
I’ll bet you have a hefty rag bill AMD
Why the simplest things always gives trouble
Protect those ears AMD!
That seal is melted in there!
The seal fought so hard because it was a Navy Seal.
I don't think that land cruiser has ever seen snow/salt.
A little different than Nissan Patrol ...
