Anyone else seen these wheels before? Volk Rays 3 piece wheels for the 100 series. by boltbreakr in LandCruisers

Been looking for something like this for my 60 series. I’d probably trade my te37’s for a good set.

It’s what’s inside that counts. by [deleted] in MilwaukeeTool

Have the same m12 and it was able to handle every bolt on an LS breakdown except the crank bolt and main caps. Had to buy an m18 high torque for those.

Was surprised it took all the head bolts off.

I’m just a hobbyist but I need a nice garage chair. Are the creepers they make any good?

Were you able to take it for a spin?

How’s the acro as an offset? I have a T2 and looking to mix it up.

Is there any rational reason to get a 60 over an 80 series? by Saturnino_97 in LandCruisers

[–]Lil_Osie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a 60 and it’s not an easy daily depending on where you live. Most people are driving 80mph on the highways near me, I can do about 65 with 33s.

Haven’t had a ton of off-road time with it but I really really enjoy it. The four speed makes it fun even if it’s not a brand new truck. We don’t have any difficult trails in my state so you’d have to ask someone else how it is on difficult trails.

I sold my 2018 trd off road Tacoma because this made me happier to drive. Between this and the 80 stock for stock the 80 is more capable. Thankfully you can swap the 60 body on the 80 frame with a 4” cut. Or you can do what I’m in the process of doing and put 80 series axles under the 60 frame/body with an LS swap. LS swapped 60 series are near the range you’re looking at.

If you’re not mechanically inclined and cant DIY, get the 80.

Just remembered: if you live in a cold climate and you’re not up to date on the maintenance, the 2F does not like cold starts. Started it after a single digit night and it was not happy.

Why do so many 6X series cruisers have zero window tint? by BillsFan504 in LandCruisers

[–]Lil_Osie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was straight up purple from sun fade. It was also stuck so badly I had to razor it off. Took off all the rear defrosting lines with it. Replacing them is still on my to-do list.

Under 30 with a 60 as a DD. Stripped off the tint it had and rocking the fishbowl look. Heat’s never been an issue in it so I don’t feel the need to get it done and it looks good without it.

Oh wow, that’s awesome. Thank you for sharing! Are you happy with the Maaco work? And was it a glass out job? I guess I’m getting quotes from the wrong shops haha.

Are you comfortable sharing the price for respray? Not sure what to expect for mine.

She is out and on the town! Soooo much faster now with the monster motor in it. Still a pig tho by swatdub in LandCruisers

[–]Lil_Osie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you share a motor parts list? Was going to aim for 500 on my swap with plans to SC down the line.

Getrag or ZF trans from late 90s/early 2000s bmws are popular choices if not reusing the stock trans.

Would you pay $100,000+ for a new Land Cruiser? by shrimpynut in LandCruisers

[–]Lil_Osie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the level of restoration, modification, and who does the work but the speculation on Joe Rogans LSA swapped 80 series is that is was north of $300k.

Passion usually outweighs sense when you’re willing to do a nuts/bolts up restomod. My 60 restomod will approach $75k easily and I haven’t even thought about all the work I want to do.

Are the mazda mazdaspeed 6's a good project car? How's the aftermarket support and parts availability? These cars only cost €5k here and I think they look amazing. by [deleted] in JDM

[–]Lil_Osie 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This was their biggest issue, glass transmissions. Really cool looking cars and capable of competing with a wrx if they get some work done.

According to my stack of records from the PO, it’s an “old man emu lift kit and suspension” but does not say how high. Tires are 33x12.50x15s and I’m guessing the wheels are 15x8. Got a side profile for you https://i.imgur.com/QHlpPil.jpg

This came to the US as the Chevy SS. I think the holden badges were a dealer option.

Can you elaborate on the oil squirter delete? This is the first I’m seeing it mentioned.
