Oh my god...It lives

Its alive !!!!!!!!!!!! installed the two batteries ran all the battery cables, bled the fuel line and after the second crank.....Prrrrrrrrrr

the sound of a diesel in my FJ

I purchased a 1986 HJ-60 at the end of the summer that lets say there was mor rust than cruiser........
I had a 1985 FJ-60 with a great body, that needed at least the top end rebuilt , a set of ring and who know what else once I had her open.

Soooo to make a long story short...The FJ has a 2H and H55f in her now and she seems pretty happy with her new go-go train

rock on. I'm glad you got all of the kinks worked out, maybe this will inspire others to try it as well. I'm not sure if i missed a build-up thread but did you go 12, 24, or 12/24 volt?

awesome!! show some pics and wrtie up... love to see the truck.

if my body goes before the engine I plan to do the same. Buy a clean truck and swap over the powertrain.

I went 24v....after doing alot of thinking back and forth....then decided that the HJ/24v harness was savable and to save problems down the road....swap harnesses...........not easy....but do-able.....just have to remember you have to swap every motor, relay, fan motors, wiper motors everthing..and there os alot

Hey In2, I too have an HJ60. 1987 with a 1995 HZ in her and H55. When I get her back from the frame off we should have a photo shoot with our two rigs.

TB, when is it going to be done? Been out longer than mine I think... Must be a very nice frame off.

Wish you post some of Radds pics... Love to see it. Or was it posted on the 60 section?
