Still lurking IH8Mud a couple times a year. Have no cruiser at the moment so not much reason to be on the forum alot. Living in Cali trying to figure out my next career move. I am apparently too old for EH&S consulting anymore. What's next? Selling life insurance. Yea.
Yes, worry about the coil packs. Carry at least two spares. From my own experience and my time as the retail parts guy they tend to fail in rapid succession. I had one AutoZone customer who took a trip from Morro Bay to Yosemite in a Navigator and had to stop at an AutoZone about every 100...
This is a 1986 Land Cruiser built for moderate rock crawling and expedition travel and has been all over western North America. It comes with a GM 350 TBI motor (zero time motor from the GM dealership) about 62,000 miles ago. Transmission is a zero time Toyota H55F 5 speed sourced out of...

PM me with any questions.
I've been watching this thread as a voyeur from somewhere in the ether. Here's my 0.02.
An FJ40 will never handle that well on the highway because of the short wheel base. You can make things easier by ensuring tight steering and not too high a lift.
33s on the highway are OK, 35s would be a...
Installing an H55F in a 62 is NOT plug&play. 62 is auto and H55F is manual. You'd need to install a clutch pedal and all related hydraulics, a new bellhouse to accept all the clutch components including flywheel (which you'd have to buy), and there will likely be some other fitment issues and...
It's not my stand. My stand is here. Free to a good home, with a caveat - it's missing the "yoke" (part the engine bolts to - long story as to why I don't have it). That part could probably be ordered online from somewhere.
