Hi just thought I would introduce my self to the community. Started my fist rebuild on 73 fj40 partial fram off. Love toyota prouducts, had a lifted 86 4runner in the past just keep coming back to toyota for off road capabilties and pure cool factor. Looking to do 350 swap do to familiarty I have with 350's and the availbilty of parts.
Look Forward to hear from all of you in the near future, and have a drink on me  ...
Respectfully,
Mik

|  PTO Versus Electric What your opion
Question are the PTO wiches worth the time to track down the parts to for use in a trail application. I've heard that their really powerful, but I've also had a couple of people tell me their slightly more dangerous do to the fact that the winch being driven off the eng. which has higher intial torque and so its possible to snap a wire rope quicker (not that electric or hydl. winch are inharently safe or anything) Besides the PTO will only work if the rig is running so wouldn't electric be a better choice for off road or ?? or is this just a matter of personal preference..
So tell me whatcha' think for off road performance Electric or PTO.  | |

| I'd recommend the electric over pto because if you're upside down and on fire, you can't use the pto to get you righted and on the trail again.
That's a nice eclipse. I've got a buddy who has one that he gets over 400 hp from but the cool part is the t-top conversion he did on it. He works at a body shop and it came out perfect. It looks like a factory job. | |
