Welcome to MotorMaus Garage! If you like wrenching on all kinds of vehicles, this is the place for you! I don't discriminate (mostly 😂), I will do content on any brand, make and model, as long as I think it's cool! Anything from 4x4 to custom built street cars, it'll be on this channel eventually. Hope you enjoy the content, and feel free to reach out to me with questions at [email protected].
Get out there and build something YOU think is cool 😎

I think there is a fuse for the light or you switched the wires from empty to full I can't recall if is the green or the brown.
Hmmm I didn't see a fuse on the diagram for that light, but might be worth a second look. As far as switching wires, perhaps, I just ended up putting them back the way they were, which could've been swapped at some point in it's life. 🤔
@motor.mausGarage I have an xtra one assembled. I will take a look at it to let you know about the wires. I changed mine because the gas was showing at full all the time(but was empty) and noticed that the little sensor attached to the floater was stripped and pretty much open. Got a new one. Also noticed that if the floaters touch the metal part, it does not move up or down. And if stays down, the light will stay on.
You're a legend.
Good luck on finding the gremlin!
What’s up with the old suspension? I know I mentioned a year or so ago I’d be interested! Looks like a great setup you’re going with!
It actually went to a local friend of mine, I apologize, I completely forgot we had talked about it awhile back 🤦
It’s all good local is always easier and that was a full drivetrain rebuild ago lol my clutch went out in December so I still haven’t had time to finish reassembly on that anyway
Would love a build list, suspension and lessons learned especially (I'd love to avoid any excessive vibrations on highway if that's actually possible)... I've got a mildly built 200 and I've been baselining my 80 for a build, but I'm a bit hung up on direction to go. I live pretty close to Moab, so I'm debating a 3 link versus a quality 3.5" lift and some 37s, any input would be much appreciated since you just built yours and witnessed some of the others.
Best 80 series suspension setup ever?! #80series #toyota #automobile #offroad #landcruiser #shorts
Any difference in idle or throttle response with the greater fuel flow?
Nah, feels the same. I might hard wire it eventually because I think there's some kind of resistor that I would like to delete.
Replacement of the fuel filter will help a little bit. My 180k original was filled with dirt. Oem parts period.
i had to resort to ordering a pump from amazon due to supply chain issues as it was during the pandemic (2021) i love how the pump is easy to get to in the 80series.
There should be an access panel for the carpet at least 😂
Thanks for the video! Mine is showing always empty but the light seems to come on when I’d expect to be low on fuel…now you have me wondering if it’s the wiring somewhere? I was thinking it might be the sending unit.
the sending unit and cage for the sending unit is it rusty? or dirty? you may need to replace it
Yeah my bet is in sending unit, but hopefully you don't end up like me 😂
What is that beefy radiator you have in there?
That is a Ron Davis radiator OEM replacement. 10/10 recommend, well worth the money.
Another great video! I just now finished watching all 3. I suspect I'll watch them a few more times before my rebuild this winter. Thank you for efforts! Where did you buy the resistor for the EGR delete? Cheers!
Thanks for the support! This vehicle actually already had a resistor for the EGR when I bought it, but you can usually find a good assortment of them on Amazon or eBay. Not sure what the resistance value needs to be though.
Great video! It's very informative and will use in the future. I plan on doing this to my 1997 Fzj80 in a few months. One question... Is there a list of new parts needed for a short block build? I've been slowly buying parts in prep reaction, such as wiring harness, injectors, water pump, blah. blah, blah. I've searched Ih8mud , but haven't found a list. I want to make sure I have all the parts on hand. Thanks!!!
I'm not aware of any lists, but the main points would probably be somewhere along the lines of: Pistons and rings (or just rings if you're reusing pistons) Rod bearings Main bearings with thrust washers Rods (if not reusing OEM) Freeze plugs Oil restrictor in top of block (can just reuse the original) Alignment dowels for the head Oil pump o rings Oil pickup tube gasket Rear main seal Timing cover o rings Oil squirters (if you suspect old ones are faulty) I'm probably missing a few things but that's the bulk of what you'd need. Obviously machine work would be needed, so I'd talk to your machine shop before buying pistons and rings.
Still can’t find the web site
Yeah there is no website unfortunately, kind of word of mouth deal at the moment.
What part of Texas are you in?
I'm all the way out in El Paso, so basically barely Texas 😂
What headlights do you have? And are they worth a dam?
These are custom made by a local business, I bought the depo glass headlights from eBay and he retrofitted them, definitely worth a damn 😂 instagram.com/omnipotentdesign?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
Dang! I would have liked to have met you at CruiseMoab!
Same! Next year for sure, I was pretty overwhelmed with this being my first time 😂
Nothing better when you have 2 or more people trying to spot you you and all saying different things. haha. Not saying it happened here but I've seen it. Weren't you sketch about not having sliders???
It happens to the best of us 😂. I was very sketch about not having sliders lmao. But I was also very careful, managed risk pretty well lol. Next year it's game on though since they are sitting in my house right now 😅
I recently got an 80 and am in the process of doing the head gasket. Can't wait to see your video on 37s. Currently in between 35s and 37s! Great video!
so 36s? 😜
Technically mine are 36.5" 😂. I'm biased, but if you plan on doing a 3" lift, 37s all day 😎. Also good lock on the head gasket, I should have some pretty decent documentation on the process on this channel as well 🤝
What radiator is that?
This is a Ron Davis radiator
Great video, very informative. My AC feels a bit humid so I think a new dryer is in order. This fan set up looks like it would make a difference. I might have to try it. Thank you for posting.
This has been one of the best mods I've done hands down, really makes a difference at idle for AC.
@@motor.mausGarage I will have to try it.
Eye pro while using the press!!!! Also, buy a bench vice. Great video, very helpful. I think the U joints on my HDJ81 are 34 years old 😮😅
I have increased eye pro usage quite a bit 😂. I now have a hitch mounted vice that I use as well lol. Thank you!
Badass brother!
Drill baby drill
Gahdam I love Toyota 4x4's. I work on a military base, and they have a whole fleet of diesel Land Cruiser pickups🤤
Gotta love the SF 79s 🤤
Dude! Nice work
Impressive
Thank you for FSM!
No problem! I stand on the shoulders of the giants on ih8mud 😂
Great meeting you in Moab! Have you considered deleting your rear heater located under the passenger seat?
Same Mike! I have considered it! I'll have to add it to my priorities list 😂. I'd like to move radio stuff right where the heater box is.
"That's what she said.." 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Your coolant level looked a little low 👍🏼
im surprised you didn't mount it behind the glove box
so i feel somewhat better about mine. im not the only one that needs a detail in the carpet 😂
The ARB dual compressor is really nice. I have used mine……once. Lol. It is very quick for inflation after airing down. Not a permanent install just yet, I only wish I had 4 lines to reach all 4 tires at once. Great product. Great video and thanks for posting.
Gotta check out the MORR Flate system or similar, been considering it myself as well 🤔. Thanks as always good sir 🙏
@@motor.mausGarage oh yeah, now that’s what I am talking about. Amazon has it in stock, hopefully it’s a universal adapter. I need to research morr flate.
They are pretty good people, really knowledgeable about air flow in general, their Instagram page has a ton of info too
Although the Slee is nice...so is DeltaVs....I just made my own because they are a bit expensive. I just use the 2nd battery tray for storage. As with anything, just look at your use case and that solves that equation. Same with your swingout...do you think you really need it? Adding all that weight and expense? Having a good air compressor is so nice to have. I just have a Vaiair model and after airing down and up a few times it does get annoying. I think my next purchase is either the Morflate or Thorslightning. I live having it portable. Either one of those with the 4 hose inflator kit is so nice. Set it and forget it is also a great feature. And a lot cheaper than the ARB twin.
Yeah DVS makes some really nice stuff. I think storage with a .50 Cal ammo can sitting where the battery should be is my use case. I always need a place to store fluids where I'm not worried about them leaking so I think that might be a good option. As far as the swing out, I'm looking at getting a 4x4Labs since you can remove all of the accessories when they aren't in use. I really only want to mount a spare for out of town remote trips (Moab for example). I mostly want the rear bumper for added departure angle and not feeling bad about scraping my rear end up during wheeling 😂. The main reason for the ARB twin mounted is the lockers that will be going in during some upcoming videos, but I love having onboard air no doubt. MORR flate has been on my mind as well, will make inflation super easy.
Cost?
If I remember correctly it was around $400 USD
Really like it but having trouble finding it?? Any help.
These are the guys that make them, not sure if they'll direct ship and you'll need to borrow a Spanish speaker most likely if you aren't fluent: instagram.com/carconsoles?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== This is the guy in the US that resells them: instagram.com/4x4fromny?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
I'm going to be doing this to my fj80 and was wondering if before you removed the transfer case from the transmission if you initially put the t-case shifter in neutral or not? Good job, btw.
I didn't when it was removed from the trans, but if it fights you on the way out, that may be a good idea. The entire drivetrain was out when I removed the TC so I didn't have many issues there 😂
Does solve not make the antenna mount anymore? Curious when you bought that as i don't see it on his Etsy shop anymore.
I got it directly from his website about 4 ish months ago. solvefunction.com/shop/ols/products/nmo-mount-replaces-antenna
Awesome Thanks!
One of the few vehicles this work will be worth doing financially. Is it a triple locker? Please for the love of god don't ruin the fender like everybody likes to with a snorkle.
It's not currently, but I've got ARBs sitting on a shelf for it 🙂.
@@motor.mausGarage nice man, that'll be cool, I did a ton of hoses and resealing on a 96 last year for my brother. Triple locked, white on gray leather (seems like all of them were tan), that things gotta be rare as hens teeth. Good luck with the rebuild!
Thank you sir 🙏 appreciate you!
why not just upgrade the clutch on the belt driven fan to move more air???
Already did! This is for idle/low rpm AC performance mainly
Oh, perfect! Do you have a link to it by chance? I wanna see if it'll be compatible with my 80. Mines got the diesel engine, and i dont have the room to install an Aux fan because of all my coolers i added an intercooler.....
This is the one I got, but I don't think it'll work with the diesel engines. I'm not sure if there's an equivalent 🤔 redlinelandcruisers.com/shop/80series/1fz-fe-80-series-land-cruiser/modified-95-degrees-fan-clutch/
Thank you! I sent them a email asking about it. 🤙
It's always good to torque down the grill screws to 300 ft/lbs 😜 So whenever the AC is on the fan will turn on? It doesn't gauge what the temp or pressure is in the AC system is and then turn on? I think there are a couple of write-ups in Mud about this. I am curious to see what affect this has on the H2O temps when that air is being blown over the radiator.
Yeah, basically this fan runs off of the AC pressure switch, I'm not sure what the function of that switch is, perhaps for compressor operation. I went wheeling soon after this and it keeps the temps right at 190 while doing low speed stuff and idling. It was about 85-90F ambient temp so I think that's pretty good. We'll see this summer when we're well over 100 degrees lol
Those solder joint connectors are trash. Bought some and just metal plastic before the solder melts, heat gun isn't any better
Good to know, figured I would use them on something less critical just in case 😂
I did the same thing to my 80 with an old fan from a 4Runner. It’s perfect for stop and go traffic, slow speeds and on the trails. World of difference in the AC temps. Great mod!
Absolutely! Good idea as well!
That’s funny you mention the high pressure power steering hose, because that’s the only non OEM part I’ve installed as well. No point in buying a $300+ hose for one that’s the same for $130
My thoughts exactly 😂. Still holding up just fine too!
Great video. I have a '17 GX460 but it's so new (128k miles) my maintenance has only been preventative so far; fluids, brakes, etc. BUT, my 180k Subaru outback was having some cooling issues after a recent hose service. I determined that there was air trapped in the system. Partially because Subaru hates us and put the highest point of the cooling system in the heater core (inside the car WTF). The other part is that they didn't elevate the front of the vehicle. I ended up doing this and got *many* bubbles out. I'm sure your LC is better designed than this, just thought I would share my fun story. Will be looking for an LC200/LX570 as my next ride (really love the V8 power and I'm all on-road/highway right now). Love your truck!!!!
Sounds like a Subaru thing to do 😂. Luckily I had an upper reservoir on the STi I had so bleeding was a lot easier on that. A lot of European cars need to be elevated too so I just do it out of habit now lol. Thanks for the watch and comment, appreciate you!
Nice job big like 👍
Thanks! 🙏
I live here in AZ, I always use OEM Denso on my Toyotas!
Denso 221-3128 Radiator Get one after that one fails.
We shall see, pretty impressed with the quality on this, but it'll be on this channel if it fails.
I like that you can still use the clutch fan. May have to get one too, and then use green coolant again to drive my viewers insane. 😀 nice job
Hahaha gotta love messing with em sometimes 😂. Thanks man!
Actually I found that the green coolant is the way to go for 1 It's no different than the red coolant in performance and 2 you can find the green coolant in a lot more places when you're in the middle of nowhere than you can find the red and that's when you need it.
@@NigelNaughton Exactly my reasoning. Either way, use one or the other - not both.
@@RM_Garage why not both? Last time I tried it it blew up my radiator. That was pretty fun so go for it! 😜
My coolant temps are always cooler at idle because (I have the modified fan clutch) it is actually pulling more air through the radiator. I think you will see they will climb a little while driving. You would think it would be the opposite but there is some differential between the air passing through the radiator at speed and what the fan will allow and while at idle. If that makes any sense. One way you can even make it more efficient is to put foam between the top of the radiator and the core support and between the fan shroud and the radiator. Let the fan pull as much air directly through the radiator without having any air intake from anywhere else. How much was that radiator? I replaced mine a while back with some "known brand" off ebay I think an it's been great for years. Coolant temps are such a "hot" topic 😜. Everyone is looking to be the lowest but as long as it doesn't get into the 200+teens (I think the AC cutoff is like 225º or something?) it will be ok. is that unamed co. still making those turbo kits? There's been a lot of bad blood and bad talk about that dude over the last year or so...if it's the same (WE....this could mean anything people! 😁) that I am thinking. Any updates on your temps since you put it in? Sweet gauge too! Now that's a cool company!
Good ideas! Might have to play with those if it comes down to it. This rad was about $1200 shipped to me, so not the most economical choice but hopefully a good one lol. Yeah you guessed right 👀 IYKYK lol. So temps have been really good, I don't think I've seen them get higher than 195 doing some low speed wheeling which is really good!
