Modified Toyota Landcruiser 79 diff repair Leaking pinion seal How does a factory diff lock work

[@bentnbuckled2487]

Have you though about running the rear bearings in oil. Check out the MadMatt4wd video on it. You use the terrain tamer cassette seal and leave out the axle seal. Bearings last a lot longer. Could do the same on bullets with the 80 diff.

Cheers Thomas, ill check out his video...

See my comments (EDIT second comment) on Matt’s oil bath video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYW8aomNd7mKrpY

Hi Mate, Is it true that if the G Box isn't put in 4wd before the axles are removed( toyota bearing regrease), the locker dog can fall out and cause you to have no locker? Trying to trouble shoot my 2020 76 locker not engaging. will pull the cover off to check for water in the meantime. cheers

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

Locker will only engage in 4L, I don't think there is space behind the fork for the dog to fall in, if you take the plate with the switch out you can see if the dog isn't there, but most likely to be water damage to the locker motor mech...

Hey mate , just after some advice , I’m putting the terrain tamer 5/700 parabolics on and want to know if you had to add / change anything to use the high clearance plates ? Did you need a different length rear shock ? Thanks Craig

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

Yes Craig, I used a different shock and I had to grind the side of the high clearance plate to make some clearance for pack, and a u bolt that has a lot of tread.... Good choice on the leaves....I love mine

This guy is a VDJ genius, does he take booking?!

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

He is a genius, highly recommend him

[@MlCKTITS]

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

Good you found issue

[@brianmonger8185]

Hope it’s sorted now? Let us know how it finished up.

[@MlCKTITS]

@@brianmonger8185 just have to replace the solenoid and actuator and it’ll be good to go

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

@@brianmonger8185 Awesome buddy, as always......

[@brianmonger8185]

@@MlCKTITS happy to take a look at it for you if you want, if I can’t fix it, costs you nothing. The actuator assembly is $$$ from Toyota. I think the part number is still 41450-60042.
