Just got done spraying inside and out of my frame and underneath the 81 with the fluid film,,used air spray gun off of Amazon ,,and I got a gallon of the fluid film,,probably got enough to do it 3 or 4 more times,,getting it done before the wet season gets here,,seen a lot of good reviews on the stuff ,,I did fire up the charcoal grill and heated what I used in a stainless bowl over the charcoals,,not t hot but just warmed it,,seems like other folks has better Luck air spraying it like that,,,sprayed flawlessly
@@naplesnative2394 Yeah it's fine then. What I'd do in snow storms or driving offroad is lock in the front hubs and drive in 2wd. Then if I got into a slick spot I'd shift into 4wd and get unstuck, then go back to 2wd. That way I didn't have to get out of the truck. I'd also keep air pressure in the tank to push the button to lock the rear if needed, but just locking the rear and not being in 4wd w/ front hubs locked caused a lot of fishtailing on snowy roads.
Hey, I was wondering if you remembered where you got replacement rubber for your windows when you did the restoration? I’m about to repaint mine and I can’t seem to find anyone with replacement rubber.
I got them from another parts truck, but the last time I checked, they were still available new from Toyota. I’d check the parts dept at your dealership.
@@6thGearGarage The E locker is new, does not have the external workings like the Toy locker. Looks like a ARB but wires instead of air line. Cost about $1000
I have a 87' been driving it since 87' now has 500,000 on it, never broke down. Of course Ive had several engines, trans, transfers, rear diffs....My advice...OEM parts when you can. Some not available but many are....
Don't drive it in the winter if you're up north/east/widwest where salt is used. That's the biggest downfall of these trucks. Keep that frame clean inside & out.
@@charliesybert2683 Your best hope is something to protect the underside like Fluid Film. I have a couple videos on that process, I do it before every winter. th-cam.com/users/6thGearGaragesearch?query=fluid%20film
Hallo! About rust protection. I can recommend new technology KROWN. This brand came to our region about fife years ago. I have protected my Toyota 4Runner 1989 and one friend of mine has protected his Mercedes Gelendvagen 1980 about three years ago. All rust became black color and not going more. Small rust has disappear. This technology is good especially for internal frame space.
@@6thGearGarage I'm wanting to upgrade my big bend bronco with an air locker so I'm doing some research. I'm happy to see you having some success on TH-cam
Hey came across your Channel A few weeks ago been watching it’s cool I sure miss my Red 1985 SR5 short bed with 22R manual transmission it was just a plain Jane model that I bought brand new I sure miss that truck especially today’s gas prices
2 very different animals... my 85 would go places the LC couldnt go off road :) I would like to do a 4runner to Land Cruiser comparison some day though.
Oh man i wish my truck looked this good. It did when i bought it 4yrs ago. I mean my drivetrain is built. 5.29 and air lockers front and rear with 300m axle shafts. People think i have a toyota doubler but its actually an atlas. I want to start a channel for this truck cuz its the only truck i know of that has an atlas to the original toyota case. How would its a very simple build with only 2.5" OME springs and on 35's. Dont think people would like it. I do daily it nd when i mean daily i drive it everyday to and from work and to the trails

Love the simple explanation you give on the products you are presenting!
Yes please make the video explaining the difference between your truck and the LC 4x4.

The gallon can is the best bang for the buck.
Question: How’s the front lunchbox locker on the road? Noisy? Or don’t notice any hiccups?
I don't even use it on the road unless there's a few inches of snow. It's almost impossible to steer with the front locked in on dry pavement.
@@6thGearGarage but when the front hubs are free/disengaged…. Should be good then right? Thanks for your fast response! 🤙

Comparison for sure. Thanks for the info

@@6thGearGarage Ok, thanks man
Have you seen the Eton E Locker? Electrical so no compressor. Also the Eton Trutrac is much smother can be used in the front
I haven't seen one in person. I've only seen the Toyota E-locker.

Your truck looks dam good
And I just got a hard stock 1986 toyota pickup 2.4l 2wd 4 speed base model. What are things I should do to make and keep it nice

@@6thGearGarage I live in western Pennsylvania and it's not much of an option to just not drive it . Is there any thing I can do to prevent rust?

I got them from Amazon but just looked and they no longer have 15x8 in 6 lug for Toyota 4x4.
I didn't know Honda guys liked off road vehicles 😉. Good shit my dude
