Absolutely the best person to watch for instructions how to work on 80 series LandCruiser. Complete and precise 100percent champion

Great video. A tip I learned is turn the castellated nut upside down and screw back on till flush, that way they don’t explode so violently. Keep up the great videos.

Thanks for watching Marco, and we appreciate your feedback!

I really enjoy these videos, they are so cleat & concise which make the DIY maintenance on my 105 Series so approachable. I’ve done my front hubs successfully & even though I may not need to do whats being done in this video right now, it fills me with confidence to take on the task later on knowing I have a simple reference video to get me through it. Well done & keep them coming please. I will check through your video catalog & see if you’ve checked or replaced diesel injectors, as this is one I need to tackle soon just for my own peace of mind. Valve-clearances will be another.

[@2ndGearLow]

Thanks for the feedback! That's exactly what we are going for. Clear and concise videos that you can use to follow along and do the job yourself.

By far the best and most comprehensive channel of its type. You've become my go to reference for every job I've attempted for the first time on my 105. It's been invaluable... thank you

[@2ndGearLow]

It is currently 12:05 am having been hitting my head against the wall all evening . I was thoroughly stumped as to how to remove a stuck tie rod end. Pulling it completely out had not occured to me until I saw your video and I can now rest knowing I can get the car to the road worthy tomorrow. Thanks again.

[@2ndGearLow]

Hi Philip, thanks for your feedback and it's great to hear the video helped you to get your car back on the road!

[@marioesteves3219]

The very best channel to watch for your LC 80/105 maintenance needs!! They have been a great help for this rookie DIYer. Much appreciated and greetings from South Africa.

[@dbrekke6570]

[@Ghostrider-71]

Excellent synopsis and step by step description! Your videos are so helpful. Thank you for posting. Cheers from the USA.

[@2ndGearLow]

Thanks Ghostrider, we appreciate your support!

[@paulgriffiths7399]

excellent video! wow so detailed. thank you so much for this. actually excited to try do this now on my 80

[@2ndGearLow]

Thanks Paul, we appreciate your comment and hope it goes well! I'd definitely recommend getting a ball joint separator tool before you attempt it, to avoid getting stuck half way through

[@maverick2242]

Best instructional videos on youtube, thank you, massive help, no details missed and clear explanation's and tips. very timely as after 5 weeks solo journey over many passes and off road roads and tracks I developed a knock which is my front passenger side relay rod bush, so trying to decide to buy the replacement kit or upgrade my relay and tie rods to full superior specc, already have the rest underneath as Superior, I can also get a Super tie rod end kit which is cheaper, so either makes sense I guess, its a big upgrade to stock rods and bushes, but great vid as usual, awesome cheers 🤘

[@2ndGearLow]

Appreciate the feedback! We're glad you're finding the videos useful. Good luck with the relay and tie rods.

[@kateanita1172]

Love your video's, great level of details. Would love it if you done a video of a seal kit in the steering box,

[@2ndGearLow]

Thank you very much Kate, glad to hear you appreciate the attention to detail! Thanks for the video suggestion as well

[@explore_n_4x462]

HAHA 2weeks too late bud. I love watching your detailed videos, great stuff. Can i request a video on master brake cylinder lol

[@2ndGearLow]

Haha that's unfortunate mate.. it'll still be here next time the job comes due! Thanks for the video suggestion

[@kelvincapellan8876]

Thank you

[@2ndGearLow]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@TheJonathanrico]

Awesome video. Did you fill with grease after installing?

[@Kicksticks]

Great video. Did this today with my dad. Had a question tho. Aftering finishing the job we noticed the steering wheel was no longer centred. Would this be fixed with a professional wheel alignment?

[@2ndGearLow]

Hi mate, thanks for watching. Yes - this should be corrected as part of the wheel alignment

[@Kicksticks]

@@2ndGearLow thank you

[@CCMiniBucks]

Hey dude 🤙 I just replaced my relay and draglink with SE hollow bars. Relay arm went in no worries but the bloody draglink wont lift high enough to get into the knuckle end on either side due to the sway bars. Got any ideas? Ih8mud is a circlejerk atm 😂

[@Cicada4WD]

[@2ndGearLow]

Thanks for watching!

[@ermakreddes6893]

Can you please do an engine rebuild on a 1hdt

[@kotasonamtenzin]

What are the symptoms of a bad tie rod end and relay rods ?

[@kzaz02]

Lift cruiser. Grab left side and right side of tire with hands and wiggle any play. The front wheel will be lose when moved side to side not top to bottom. You will see the tie rod move.

[@ruddy111888]

Hi , how can I contact you ?

[@The13ketnah]

В моем случае у штанги резьба на обеих концах была "правая". Пришлось рулевой наконечник искать другой , тоже с правой резьбой.

[@2ndGearLow]

Hi Mate, I'm a bit confused by this comment - the two ends of the rod must be opposite handed, otherwise when the rod is rotated it will not extend or contract, I.e. a wheel alignment wouldn't be possible. If you have a left hand drive vehicle it's a different kit to that shown in the video, as explained in the intro of this video

[@brettricho1]

H but you didn’t explain why you needed to change them out.
