This is probably the most overdue update on the channel! This is my 1997 Lexus LX450 which I finished a 5.3/6L80 swap on two years ago. After 2800 miles, its time to address a few things.
This truck has been stellar! Averaging around 1616.5mpg, that's a significant improvement over the 1FZ's 1213mpg. I used it for two seasons pushing snow and it did well! However, I've removed the plow set up because the amount of salt they put on our roads causes severe rust, and plowing puts a lot of strain on components that usually don't see it. Now I push snow with a clapped out GM truck that I haven't poured years of my life into.
In this video, I tackle a handful of things I could've done better when I did my swap, including some belt alignment, hoses and fittings. The truck also gets some easy maintenance, and upgrades!
There might be some offroading and yard work in the video. Maybe.

Catch you on the next one!
