80/100 Series Transfer Case Rebuild/Modification (Low/High Range Gears & Part Time 4wd Kit) (Part 1)

[@guitar14]

I’m gonna lose track how many times I watch the videos in this series. Way to Tim. Cruiser heads all over the world thank you!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Most of the thanks goes to Georg @ Valley Hybrids. I did spend a long day filming with Georg at his shop and a god-awful amount of time editing this series, but without Georg's expert instruction, this video wouldn't exist.

[@calokie5567]

Looking forward to part 2, I can already tell these guys do excellent work.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Part 2 will be live in a couple of days. And yes, they do excellent work at Valley Hybrids.

[@davidcousineau6605]

What a great video!! Georg rebuilt the 1987 split t-case I put in my 1969 FJ55 along with a new H55F 5 speed. He is an amazing Land Cruiser icon and has helped me many times with parts, service, and know-how during my build.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks for sharing your experience with Georg. We agree he is a wealth of knowledge in the Land Cruiser arena. We're lucky to have him.

[@KendrasEdge757]

BRILLIANTLY designed!!! No wonder these trucks are so BULLETPROOF!! Makes all the other late model cars & trucks that people swear over look like complete garbage. No wonder they’re having so many recalls and warranty work. They’re built to fail. Toyota, Land Cruisers are just built so different and significantly overbuilt. No surprise they last forever for your Costco trips!! Excellent video and content once again brothers!! Greatly appreciate it and seeing how well engineered these beasts are even though I’ll never rebuild one of these, it’s great to see it done properly!! God bless~

[@TimmyTheToolman]

When I see something like this, I'm always amazed that some engineer(s) were able to create the design. It blows my mind the brain power some people have. Thanks for the compliment. This project was possible only because Georg decided to take time out of his schedule to teach people how to rebuild and modify one of these transfer cases. We obviously put in a lot of work filming and editing, but the expertise is all Georg. Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it!

[@KendrasEdge757]

@@TimmyTheToolman yessir for sure, I completely agree! However, without YOU this video also wouldn’t have happened, so thanks to BOTH of yall for showing us this engineering masterpiece!! Crazy how works of art like this can be engineered and last longer than the truck itself and it’s owners, but there’s engineers that design CVT trannys and fiats and fords and Chevys that have more BCM’s than the dollars the vehicles themselves cost. Mind boggling these engineers lol I’m kidding, in part, but my point remains. So, thank you George AND TTTM for hours of filming and editing!!!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

@@KendrasEdge757 Well, you're very welcome. I'm stoked we got to partner with Georg to bring this series to the masses.

[@KendrasEdge757]

@@TimmyTheToolman hell yeah! Can’t wait to see not only the second part, but the future vids im certain will be coming from yall and his shop!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

@@KendrasEdge757 Part 2 is now live. And yeah, the plan is to partner more with Georg to bring more awesome content to our channel.

[@russellbaker7026]

Uh...this is amazing. Thank you so much for posting this and sharing your depth of knowledge! This is a major contribution to the Cruiser Heads of the world. Thank you so much!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

The main thanks goes to Georg. He was very generous to spend time out of his busy schedule to share his wealth of knowledge on this subject. We couldn't have found a better instructor for this topic. I'm happy you have acknowledged his contribution to the Cruiser Community. Thanks!

[@Star_of_the_new_moon]

Most informative upbeat video of a lsnd cruiser transfer case yet

[@TimmyTheToolman]

@@Star_of_the_new_moon Georg appreciates your comment.

Great video! Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately, I could not find part 2.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks and you're very welcome! Part 2 is not out yet. If you're subscribed to our channel and receive notifications, you'll know when we upload a new video. Part 2 will be out in a couple days.

@@TimmyTheToolman Great! Thanks!

[@andreyka64]

I had Valley Hybrids build my 80 and it’s been bulletproof

[@FinMcMurder]

What did they do to it

[@TimmyTheToolman]

That's great to hear. Valley Hybrids does great work!

[@Golden-69]

Great video. Looks like fun. I just had my 40 done. Should get it Thursday.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks! It was fun spending a day at Valley Hybrids filming this job and learning a ton from Georg.

[@MichaelD.Greene]

Noticed a crack in my case last weekend, found a donor core and will be beginning the disassembly and stock rebuild in the coming week or so. This video is abject perfection. Can't thank you enough.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

All the thanks go to Georg @ Valley Hybrids. We were just his flunkies that filmed and edited the project.

[@coolthew42]

It's just so great to see a professional wear gloves for handling carcinogenics, I wish I'd been as smart as you in my earlier years. Good Vid.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

I didn't wear gloves either when I started working on vehicles in the early 80's.

[@jackwalsh1468]

Tim, I enjoyed the video. Georg, helped me on one occasion. A an excellent repair and it's working well to this day.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Nice to hear you enjoyed the video Jack. Georg is a very knowledgeable and skilled mechanic. I have no doubt anything he puts his hands on lasts. Thanks for the comment and Happy New Year!

[@jackwalsh1468]

@TimmyTheToolman Tim, Happy New Year to you as well. Cheers, Mate.

[@russellbaker7026]

Thanks!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks for the donation Russell!

[@stco2426]

Great video(s) and superb mechanical sympathy. Really looking forward to the next installment. I have the vacuum-actuated 2 - 4WD system (P/T) with the cable-operated H/L selector so different to this, but there's a surprising similarity. Thanks for making and sharing, and Happy New Year!!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks for the compliment of Georg's work. It was a privilege to work with him over a 12-hour day to film this series. You will definitely enjoy the next 3 parts. Thanks for taking the time to comment. We appreciate it!

[@richardsauer599]

This is going to be a really valuable series! I am actually looking forward to when my Transfer Case needs some work. Lol! Great Job Tim and Sean!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Yeah, it is no doubt going to have huge value for anyone wanting to tear apart and either rebuild or rebuild/modify their HF2A transfer case. There will never be another video series on this subject that will come close to what Georg is showing. The reason why I know this is because of the level of work involved. This was a 12 hour day of filming for Georg and I. Then, I probably put at least 40 hours into editing all 4 parts. Then Sean got the projects and polished them up putting in a bunch more time. Nobody else is going to put in that level of work. NOBODY!! This is what separates us from most Automotive DIY Channels. If people want entertainment and videos that lack detail, they go to other people's channels. If someone wants to actually do a job with a high level of confidence, they come to us, because unlike other channels, we don't leave people lost with our instruction. We take you from start to finish showing you all the necessary detail so you can succeed. If DIY channels were graded on a practicality level, and that was the main component for why people subscribed to a channel, we'd have millions of subscribers. But, a lot of people are looking for entertainment rather than practical instruction. I wish we had a larger following, but at the end of the day, I'm proud of what we are accomplishing with our channel. We are helping people be self-sufficient and do their own automotive work saving them tons of money and headaches. And, people can take the knowledge and skills they learned from us and pass it on to others. Sean, Georg and myself are leaving the world a little better than we found it. We're not curing cancer or finding the answer to world peace, but we are doing something to help our fellow man/woman. This is what drives us to continue to create content. Thanks Richard for being a fan of our channel. It's people like yourself that help motivate us to keep going. Part 3 will be coming out very soon.

[@richardsauer599]

Thanks for the well thought out reply. I watch a lot of KZbin videos on subjects ranging from watch repair to bee keeping etc. Your channel inspired me to purchase a Toyota (2001 Land Cruiser). I have been watching some of your older suspension videos because, although they are for your 4 Runners they do have a lot of value. Really appreciate you guys!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

@@richardsauer599 My pleasure Richard. By the way, my wife Alison has been a bee keeper for years. She does Air BnB experiences teaching people about bee keeping.

Is the rear extension housing of the hf2a and hf2a interchangeable if i get rid of the vicious coupler of the hf2av. I have a hf2av that i want to put in my fj80 that came with the hf2a. The hf2av housing is longer due to the vc.

[@efil4kizum]

do Land Cruisers survive livin' the saltLife east of the big MO river to the Atlantic?

[@TimmyTheToolman]

I don't think any vehicle survives road salts. They all go to an early grave because the frames rust away.

[@efil4kizum]

@@TimmyTheToolman i just hose 'er down best i can routinely at near-freezing temps and keep the drain holes clear and not plugged up

[@TimmyTheToolman]

@@efil4kizum Doing that and applying products like fluid film is I guess all you can do. Other states use different strategies to combat icy roadways. Some use crushed lava rock, which isn't corrosive to metal. The only reason salt is used is because it's cheap and plentiful. Requiring people to buy studded tires would be better than putting millions of vehicles to an early grave due to rusting out.

[@kleinbiker1]

Any idea what Georg charges for this service should we ship out transfer case to him? Not including parts of course.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

I don't know but you can call his business and ask.

[@cyrus8020]

Is there any way I can change to a driver side drop transfer case on a 1993 LC 80 series with automatic transmission?

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Possibly, but I'm not the guy to ask. I'd call Valley Hybrids and ask them.

[@cyrus8020]

@TimmyTheToolman Thanks!

[@bjlanders]

@40 minutes "...in the 100 series if you plan on changing the high range or low range you actually have to change the input shaft to an 80 series input shaft if you want to change the gear ratio for your high range..." I am confused with this sentence. I am planning on only doing low range 25% speed reduction, but I will need to swap out the input shaft? On a 100 series

[@TimmyTheToolman]

You might want to call Valley Hybrids and ask this question. The way I understand it, you only have to replace the shaft to an 80 Series if you want to change the high range gear ratio, but I would call them for clarification.

[@bjlanders]

@@TimmyTheToolman He handsomely clarified in part 2...I am only at the end of that now. Man you are fast with the response! Thanks so much
