100% correct! It’s a trick done by unscrupulous people to hide noise caused by worn out systems (gears, bearings, etc). Good thing you intended on regearing!
Lol I dunno I use grease in my rearends and have never had an issue BUT I've only ever done it in my pick up and my semi I notice no difference in operation temp in my semi I've switched back and fourth half a dozen times
@Johndada517 the difference is that the grease won't leak out of a bad seal as quickly as oil. It seems like a nice combination of oil and grease would lube it well, but also ensure enough lubrication if you had a seal failure.
@@PeteRoberts-sy6ugThey did that with gear shifters in concentration camp to sabotage Germans. A truck supposedly could only make about 10 miles after that.

Often on the 80 series, you can have the swivel hub grease leak into the oil of the axle due to the seals degrading overtime, just make sure to rebuild the hubs
@@AlphanumericCharacters it's not grease. Just guessing obviously. That's 32% grease, 67% 75w140 gear oil. 1% misc. Random contaminates. Now churn that all up at a couple 10's of thousands rotations in a minute, you got yourself a Land Rover slushie. *ouch! I made a mess up!!! Land Cruiser! Negative on the Rover.
Another reason….. I’ve seen it many times in my career, people or shops don’t have the skill to re-seal the outer ball knuckles that will normally end up leaking gear oil profusely with age. So they will simply fill the outer knuckles with grease. Over time and after a few fills this will end up mixing with all the front axle gear oil and end up that sludge you pulled out.
Do you mean switch out all fluids that you can before you buy the car? I’m a noob when it comes to cars. What other fluids besides oil, antifreeze and windshield wiper fluid should you check?
@Wakebased more than likely you won't be able to switch fluids before you buy. But after you buy a used vehicle you should start with oil then do every other fluid you can possibly do. Research before you start anything and have fun.
@@Lost10mm. - Yea but you bought it, though! Then you find a rear end like this one! Just take to a reputable shop and have them inspect it. $150 inspection sure beats the crap out of having to put in a new set of diff gears or engine or...
@irishkelly654 not sure if there are going to remove the diff cover too check that on a inspection of a car that isn't yours. Personally most shops are not going to care enough to really check as much as a owner that knows vehicles. But having a very young looking face has taught me a lot, there's a lot of snake's out there so really appreciate the good ones maybe even give them a tip it's probably going to be thier first one. Cheers and good luck.
@@Lost10mm. - This is literally what these "inspections shops" do, though. They inspect vehicles. May not remove the diff cover but they reach in and take a sample (of all fluids), if it looks bad - up to you if you want them to check further - ie: remove the cover for further inspection, should you want to go that route, just as they check every thing else. They get paid to do it, they don't care who's car it is or if I end up buying it, they still get paid. Some times you lose the cost of the inspection if the vehicle is garbage but you win because you didn't get stuck with it. It helps to have some knowledge, to whittle out the obvious junk. Not sure where you are but where I'm from, in Canada, if you buy a vehicle from another province, you must have it inspected or they won't insure you. Those inspections are much more thorough. Cheers...

First thing I did when I bought my Tahoe was replace the diff fluid along with other important fluids. Great piece of mind on a 15 year old vehicle, no weird gear noises.
@@HughWoo So the leaking seal caused all if the gear oil to be displaced by the hub grease which leaked into the diff….and and somehow managed to be enough to fill up the whole diff with grease….from the hubs…the two little ol hubs… and the hubs still managed to have enough grease in them to keep from smoking them…. Interesting theory.
@BFT88 The CV joint on these are known as a birfield joint, and they reside in an enclosed housing. The birfield joint is packed with grease, and the housing is filled with grease as well. The inner axle shaft passes through a seal that is placed in the axle housing. When the seal goes bad, differential lube starts to work its way up to the housing and birfield joint, and soon you end up with what Toyota owners not so lovingly call birf soup Given enough time, the soup works its way back to the differential, and you end up with that nasty black mess. It’s not a hard job to change the seals and wipers just very dirty. I’ve had to do this multiple times over the years, and it sucks. This only applies to the solid front axle versions.
Well, first, how did the carrier bearings and the axel bearings look. Gears are gears....the scuffing is something, but the bearings are the key..... Could have been a blown seal and pump in the axel grease as mentioned. You're doing a gear set swap, completely R&R and start fresh. Good luck with your project!👍
@@wildestcowboy2668 Well I have to completely agree with you, because there's no door on the side of a ring and pinion gear front or rear axle for me to " get inside" and check it out........ Normally, I dis-assemble the axel, completely, clean up, inspect, check, measure and run numbers (if there's a tag), get all necessary parts for whatever the hell I am doing, and well, reassemble the axel and ring and pinion gear assembly, seal, lubricate and reinstall on the vehicle. 😁 I haven't the foggiest idea of mechanical things........ Just a Cowboy Redneck scratch building Hot Rod pickups and classic cars since the mid 1970's.... mostly Fords and a few Chevys and three Air Cooled VWs...... All gone now.... Still, the truth is, I know absolutely nothing about what I do..... Nothing. 😁
@@wildestcowboy2668 what, no reply? Quit telling people you don't know what they have or haven't done. Plus, you add nothing by calling someone out and not explaining a single thing.

Yea, likely to quieten things down back there. Back in the day, my mechanic friends talked about using banana peels in the diffs to shut them up. Not sure if they were joking or serious though.

Be careful when buying a pre-owned car. It never ceases amaze me who is willing to take advantage of someone, and the lengths they will go to by hiding expensive repairs when getting rid of a car. Hopefully this repair wasn’t to expensive.
A car like a Land Cruiser this old is an enthusiast vehicle at this point and whoever is buying them has to expect some issues from a 30 year old vehicle. Going through several owners and people who trash them off-road, finding one that doesn’t have some user inflicted damage is like finding a unicorn. If you buy this car, chances are you have some extra cash ready to blow on it already. Replacing rear diff gears really isn’t that outlandish or that bad of a fix for anyone who buys/works on these anyway. Most people regear like she did for bigger tires anyway. The real money comes from fixing the motor, and worn suspension bushings can be very difficult to replace but will probably need to be done anyway. Basically, you don’t buy this without already having cash ready. It’s a collector vehicle at this point unfortunately because they really are a great, fun, reliable vehicle when maintained. Most aren’t though. If you can get one cheap they’re definitely worth fixing up because they are extremely over engineered, durable, and capable machines.
@@jvogler_art4708 i agree with almost everything you said, but the original comment wasn't limited to landcruisers. They were talking about all used vehicles, and the point he made was right.

Im not sure if it is recommended for vehicle differentials unless it is a mudder, but farmers replace gear oil with grease in equipment gear boxes to stop a leak from a bad bearing seal. For equipment it is recommended and a solid fix, also recommended for all terrain vehicles that will be in mud and water. Probably not recommended for high speed street Vehicles. Good catch!

@@aaronh1372i dont see any dad in this video lol. keep your daddy issues to yourself maybe?
@@Emily-lk1mf Maybe.... Read a little. Like, the words immediately above your ignorance, possibly? I say, "don't see dad", so you say "don't see dad", and somehow that discredits the fact that I pointed it out first? You don't have daddy issues, just simply issues. Major issues.
Wow, the simpletons that rush to say anything on here still shocks me.
Hopefully you got a good deal if he wanted to get sold fast! Kudos for rebuilding that rear end! I know how to do it but I'll be damned if I have to do it again or install a locker!
You know how to do it, but you missed that she's working on the front diff, not the rear end..
@@drlegendre 😂🤣
Good catch and glad you were able to fix it yourself that's awesome in itself
Yes, that's exactly what he did. Old school trick and still works.
The fact you are working on your own car is hella attractive
I am hooked, solid content worthy of following. When buying such a vehicle, you have to factor in repairs to such wear items. Awesome!
Wow!! That is so shady. Glad you got it corrected and setup proper. Merci
Yes what a utter pos he is
I have a lot of respect for people who can repair their own cars. I wish I had the patience to do it.
Damn that’s messed up! Glad you’re rebuilding!
First thing I did when I bought my Tahoe was replace the diff fluid along with other important fluids. Great piece of mind on a 15 year old vehicle, no weird gear noises.
That’s a beauty of a truck…I’m glad it’s in good hands. What a fun project that must be.
That's exactly what the grease was for to keep the noise down
That’s hub grease that leaked in bro. She needs to rebuild the hubs to fix this. Pretty common on these.
@@HughWoo So the leaking seal caused all if the gear oil to be displaced by the hub grease which leaked into the diff….and and somehow managed to be enough to fill up the whole diff with grease….from the hubs…the two little ol hubs… and the hubs still managed to have enough grease in them to keep from smoking them…. Interesting theory.
It would have been worse if it was dry...this happens to these trucks. It would would have been critical if it was dry.
@@invictusbp1prop143 😂😂😂
@@invictusbp1prop143 you do realize grease & gear oil can mix together & there's nothing stopping one from repacking hubs over & over, right?
It’s pretty common for the axel seals to go bad. The tell tell sign is gear oil in the CV housing, and grease in the diff.
Yep. Birf soup
Tell me how grease gets in the diff unless some moron pumps it in there. And yeah it’s axle not axe; and tell-tale not tell tell. So annoying
@BFT88 The CV joint on these are known as a birfield joint, and they reside in an enclosed housing. The birfield joint is packed with grease, and the housing is filled with grease as well. The inner axle shaft passes through a seal that is placed in the axle housing. When the seal goes bad, differential lube starts to work its way up to the housing and birfield joint, and soon you end up with what Toyota owners not so lovingly call birf soup Given enough time, the soup works its way back to the differential, and you end up with that nasty black mess. It’s not a hard job to change the seals and wipers just very dirty. I’ve had to do this multiple times over the years, and it sucks. This only applies to the solid front axle versions.
Wow, you are kicking ass: rebuilding a rear end!
When you could just buy a new axle for half the cost
I applaud you for not being so mad that it took your spirit! See how amazing women are! And you got the job done!
Fuckin..what?
@@jbkeebsbro exactly what I thought 😂 men do this shit 24/7/365 and don't bat an eye or ask for attention lmao
She bought a fucked up car, had someone else fix it, and took some video to narrate over lol
@@DillonHering yeah, the internet has really ruined a lot of women
Well, first, how did the carrier bearings and the axel bearings look.
Gears are gears....the scuffing is something, but the bearings are the key.....
Could have been a blown seal and pump in the axel grease as mentioned.
You're doing a gear set swap, completely R&R and start fresh.
Good luck with your project!👍
Johnathan you clearly have NEVER been in a ring and pinion rear end.....
@@wildestcowboy2668
Well I have to completely agree with you, because there's no door on the side of a ring and pinion gear front or rear axle for me to " get inside" and check it out........
Normally, I dis-assemble the axel, completely, clean up, inspect, check, measure and run numbers (if there's a tag), get all necessary parts for whatever the hell I am doing, and well, reassemble the axel and ring and pinion gear assembly, seal, lubricate and reinstall on the vehicle.
😁
I haven't the foggiest idea of mechanical things........ Just a Cowboy Redneck scratch building Hot Rod pickups and classic cars since the mid 1970's.... mostly Fords and a few Chevys and three Air Cooled VWs...... All gone now....
Still, the truth is, I know absolutely nothing about what I do..... Nothing.
😁
@@wildestcowboy2668 what, no reply? Quit telling people you don't know what they have or haven't done. Plus, you add nothing by calling someone out and not explaining a single thing.
Do you think the light scuffing explains why grease is in there and not oil? If you're not adding anything useful, you're just whining, so whats it going to be?
@@ctdieselnut You know why da grease is in there.....
Despite the issue, the rest of the video your yota seems really spotless 😊 I'm jealous
I admire your talent
Can't go wrong with a 80 series Landcruiser or even 100 series Landcruiser
I would agree. The 100 Series are overlooked treasures. People need to chill on the $20k+ prices though imo.
@@TheGreenNewSteal2025 Gotta pay that Toyota Tax! X3
All the sludge! Not sure why they would fill it with grease? Glad you’re re-gearing the diff! Can’t wait for more content! 🎉

I know. Even the price of steel buildings have tripled in the last 15 yrs. Im sick of working outside year round in the northeast. Oh well, ill build one someday.
Just work and buy it
Amazing how you rebuilt the rear differential. In all my years working on cars, I only got to do this during class.
Simp hard bud. It didn’t show her doing any tangible work.
She should've just swapped a new axle in, no reason to do all this excessive work
@@bldontmatter5319 that’s what I was thinking.

Yea, likely to quieten things down back there. Back in the day, my mechanic friends talked about using banana peels in the diffs to shut them up. Not sure if they were joking or serious though.
Works in a pinch
Khloe. I am Quite Sure the Previous Owner Used Grease to Quiet the Differential noise. Most People are Hack Mechanics and Scammers so they can sell their BIG PROBLEM TO SOMEONE ELSE.
“Like a bear with a jar of honey”😆
If you got it for a good price, old Land Cruisers are great. Your ring marks after the rebuild look perfect!
I miss my Land Cruiser…12 miles to the gallon. I’d kill to have it back.
Same with me and my 98 Subaru GT Wagon, Should have never sold that car
12 miles 😮🤣 don’t tell me that’s highway? They’re beasts tho, (the old boxy landcruisers are still going in some faraway land)😅

Awesome that you were calm about it and I think it's awesome they are able to rebuild a rear end on your own! Well done!!
Just because she is calm on the video doesn't mean she was in real life. Also this whole story could be made up.
I think you are spot on. I think you've made an excellent decision on the Fj80. And I think you are up to the task. Good luck and catch me on the trail in my 1982 fj40 w/spring-over, power steering lockers and 3:70 gears (18 miles/gal).

Be careful when buying a pre-owned car. It never ceases amaze me who is willing to take advantage of someone, and the lengths they will go to by hiding expensive repairs when getting rid of a car. Hopefully this repair wasn’t to expensive.
A car like a Land Cruiser this old is an enthusiast vehicle at this point and whoever is buying them has to expect some issues from a 30 year old vehicle. Going through several owners and people who trash them off-road, finding one that doesn’t have some user inflicted damage is like finding a unicorn. If you buy this car, chances are you have some extra cash ready to blow on it already. Replacing rear diff gears really isn’t that outlandish or that bad of a fix for anyone who buys/works on these anyway. Most people regear like she did for bigger tires anyway. The real money comes from fixing the motor, and worn suspension bushings can be very difficult to replace but will probably need to be done anyway.
Basically, you don’t buy this without already having cash ready. It’s a collector vehicle at this point unfortunately because they really are a great, fun, reliable vehicle when maintained. Most aren’t though.
If you can get one cheap they’re definitely worth fixing up because they are extremely over engineered, durable, and capable machines.
@@jvogler_art4708 i agree with almost everything you said, but the original comment wasn't limited to landcruisers. They were talking about all used vehicles, and the point he made was right.
Theres a difference between wear and tear or a thrashed example and purposefully trying to mask problems to screw the next guy. Happens all the time. Its a shitty trick, people pawn off their junk on others.
Most videos on yt of cars getting beat to death, there will be a joke comment "craigslist be like - never abused, only driven on sundays, never used for work etc".
She a keeper ❤️
Tell that to the mechanic showing and telling her what to do and say
Yes, he did. I've heard people put sawdust in to do the same thing.
4.56 gears, huh? That is going to be bad ass when you're done. You must be planning on some 33" tires. Very cool.
A girl that knows how to work on cars is such a turn on!!! ❤
Feminine kuhck boy
Wish my mechanic looked like this !
Thats a real woman right there ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ladies and gentlemen behold we are looking at a unicorn. Cute, smart, feminine and knows more about cars than most men who don’t know squat. God bless her and the folks who raised her. Nice work mom and dad.
The seller must have thought you were an easy mark and could easily fool you. I guess you showed him. The fact you didn’t name him demonstrates your high level of integrity.
To bad you didn’t find this out before you paid for the vehicle.
By not naming somebody is a high level of intelligence I don't think it works that way either you were intelligent or you're not intelligent I'm just saying😮😅😂
Im not sure if it is recommended for vehicle differentials unless it is a mudder, but farmers replace gear oil with grease in equipment gear boxes to stop a leak from a bad bearing seal.
For equipment it is recommended and a solid fix, also recommended for all terrain vehicles that will be in mud and water.
Probably not recommended for high speed street Vehicles. Good catch!
He was ready to get rid of it and he was really glad someone like you was the buyer because he knew you would take good care of it.
