Thanks! 🍻

No problem mate 🤙🏽🍻

Good stuff mate, take your time. At least you know it will be done properly if you do it yourself! No one cares about your car like you do 👌🏽🍻

Thanks Xavier! Any of the auto stores will be able to help you with oil types and quantities mate. Other bit of maintenance I’d recommend is greasing up your tailshaft’s every 10000kms or so. Just be very careful not to put much grease into the 2 slip joints. If you do it can cause issues with seals on the shafts (and the crush washer in the diff) as it pushes on them as the grease expands the joint. I’ll make a video on tailshaft maintenance one day once I get a chance….

@@bushandbeachaustralia cheers for the reply mate appreciate it

Bugger! You can sometimes get them off using a chisel and a hammer and belt the crap out of it on one edge

Having the same issue now

Tried the hammer and chisel thing. Nut is mush. Had to weld a new nut on the top. I really think that when they made the nut Toyota just looked for any metal lying around on the floor and used it. Old tin cans probably. Why on earth would you make a nut like this out of soft metal ?????

Yeh I’m hearing you bud! I stripped one years ago on a hilux and I remember Toyota selling me a hardened/upgraded one to put in.

There are 2 other nightmare issues with the 90 that I know of: 1) Try changing the rear shocks - the top nut has been 'hidden' up underneath the boor floor. A day in hell is the day you have to take those rusty bolts off. By the way on the 120 they have provided two little removable hatches in the boot floor to access them 2) The rear light cluster in the bumper. They catch all the road muck and rusting solid is not even a good enough description of it. Try getting any tools into the curved section of the bumper to get them off... and try doing anything from the outside without damaging the bumper. In the end I spent about 3 hours carefully with a dremmel getting the bolt heads off from the outside (they are also encased in plastic). This really should have been specified as a stainless steel bolt it would have cost them $0.01 extra. Now mine are changed I have covered them in grease which I top up every 6 months so I don't have to go through that misery again.

Thanks Luke 🍻

Hi Martin I don’t have any at the moment. There are kits available for them though. Welcome back to the 90 Family 👌🏽🍻

Juan Ramirez cheers mate here’s a link to my gearbox and transfer case oil change. 👍🏽🍻🙏🏽 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNZzqdiIx5aql3k.html

You’ll get away without replacing them mate just get that water out ASAP!

Yes they do have one.

But as a general rule they should be replaced

Thanks mate I’m sure people can work their own oil out. I didn’t go into it as people can suss out their own preferences for oil. Also it could vary if they have lockers fitted etc and running temps they are likely to encounter. Also most auto shops will recommend oil to suit

It’s a vid on how to change the oil not what oil to use

Not all have limited slip diff

Thanks Dan stoked they are going to help you! The pump is a separate purchase. Any half decent auto shop should have one. As for the rear bar I made that when I worked up north in a fabricating shop/steel yard. Unfortunately I don’t have access to any of the gear anymore. Thanks for watching mate 🍻

@@bushandbeachaustralia sweet as brother. Bar looks awesome, well done.

Thanks mate I might do a little vid on my rear bar if I can find some photos back when I made it. There’s not a whole lot to it

It was my first attempt at welding and has held up to a rear end crash so I’m pretty happy with its strength 🤙🏽

@@bushandbeachaustralia looks awesome man, you should be stoked. Im back in Perth Sept 28th and will be attempting to do my first service on the 90 (my 1st service ever actually) with a mate at his place in Jandakot, if by chance you live down that way let us know. We can meet up and chat shit, would like to check out what you have done with your 90.

I haven’t mate. I’d imagine it would be a knock out knock new one in job. Might be pretty seized in but hopefully not...🍻🍻🍻

I went with a Detroit auto rear locker. The locker itself has been fine but the shop I paid to fit it didn’t set it up correctly. I’ve had to rebuild it and replace the crown wheel and pinion and all bearings. Unless you really need it or take the time to do it yourself and set it up correctly I wouldn’t bother. It’s hard to find someone that takes pride in their work anymore.

Personally I don’t like the idea of running airlines or electrical to a locker. If you wanted to run a front locker you would have to though.

@@bushandbeachaustralia Thanks heaps mate, i appreciate the info. I know a good 4×4 mechanic that does the job right.

@@bushandbeachaustralia Any chamce u could send me a link for where to purchase Detroit Locker

www.harrop.com.au/shop/products/performance-driveline/detroit-locker Try this link mate

Hi Victor rear is 2.8litres and front is 1.2litres I believe. Just double check with the place when you buy your oil. Cheers mate

@@bushandbeachaustralia thanks bro

No probs

You should be able to get it changed in a couple of hours mate

@@bushandbeachaustralia sorry my bad, for my bad English, how long is the service interval for the oil change...

40000km service intervals. If you use your vehicle for hard off road use you could shorten the interval. Cheers 🍻

@@bushandbeachaustralia Thank you so much for the info mate, will change mine asap.

No problem mate 🍻🍻🍻

Glad it was useful but annoying at the same time

That’s definitely a skill I’ve developed over the years
