I'm gonna go through the provided thread before I ask much more:)Thanks for info! The truck is totally desmogged compared to factory but it does have a magnaflow cat. in it now. I'm a little concerned it may have been damaged by high emissions that went into it but not sure how to tell.? ideas...
What is the max PSI that stock(or similar aftermarket) mechanical fuel pumps usually put out? I know you can install a gauge and monitor it/regulator and control it but curious what fellow 2F users have found. The webber carb calls for 3.5 psi. The back story is having trouble getting my 2F to...
The webber should have an automatic electric choke that just needs a simple power wire to work. I don't know how A/C will play into any carb choices if any.?. A "properly" tuned carb should work from sea level to at least several thousand feet(maybe 9000 or so?) before minor tweaks may be...
Why not use the stock air-intake? They work well! Here are some complete kits for not much more than you are looking at.
Weber Carburetor Conversion Kits for F/2F Land Cruiser
Hopefully you're getting the 32/36 for rather cheap. I ran one on my 2F(pistons/rings, cam, valves, ignition, headers, port, polish, balance...) FJ40 with good luck but that is a lighter vehicle. Who knows maybe it would have been much better with the 38/38...If you're paying anything near...
Will the 32/36 work? Yes! May the larger ones be better? Probably in most cases. There is a guy in the Midwest I believe who's name escapes me right now who is famous for rebuilding the stock carbs. He will be easy to find on here using the search function. Worst case scenario is he makes your...
The BJ is a nice find and engine/tranny are "hot" items, but so is the BJ frame over regular FJ. Just ask yourself this, and be very honest; Do you want "a project" or something to "drive?" That is all you need to know;-)
Question: Is the market VERY thin up there for cruisers or you just looking to get in on the LOW side money wise? I can see the appeal of taking some time and literally tearing one down piece by piece and sourcing EVERY part to rebuild. That said you could almost build one for free (assuming...
Is the rear drive shaft a DC? I know your front is but can't tell on rear DS. The answer to that changes part of my reply but one stays the same. If it's a DC ya, it needs to be pointed right at the transfer case. If its not a DC then both the output shafts need to be parallel from the...
Let me know if I'm getting long in the tooth here...;-) I'm just thinking "out loud" and think your build is really fun to watch. I'm gonna have to meet up with your crew soon for some local action. Things I considered and might work for you too; How far can I flex up and back in the rear with...
The setup from above appears to only get about 2.5" of upward travel at the shocks and impossible to droop the remaining 10" or whatever they are. How "centered" the shocks are/where rub and binding starts can dictate "ideal" shock C-C and bump stop length. Also remember the fore/aft travel of...
Are you talking about front or rear shocks? I'm currently a 40 guy but curious on SOA 60 stuff. I did the front shock tower extension on my lift to get full travel. Rear needed none to get full 10" travel. What shocks you using and do you expect to get full 12" travel and still have no...
Ring & Pinion Break-In Procedure:
All new 3rd members require a break-in period to prevent damage from overheating. Any overloading or over-heating during this periods can cause the gear oil to break down resulting in ring & pinion failure.
* After installation drive lightly for 20-30...
Also there is the guy on here who can make knobs that are either stock or does custom. If you haven't seen his work check it out!!!!
