    H151F Post-swap write-up

    I don't have many miles since I finished...about 30 in mixed city driving. I'm still getting used to it and have noticed that I'm spending a lot more time at low RPMs than I do in my 2nd gen pickup. I think that will change as I get more seat time. It definitely feels peppier off the line.

    H151F Post-swap write-up

    I bought this truck 11 years ago intending to make it a manual. I then moved to Western Washington where emissions testing and strict engine swap laws made that very difficult. Here we are at the end of 2021 and we no longer have emissions tests and I have a 5 speed LX450. The good: I did no...

    RTH for Manual Swap into LX450

    I purchased a Land Cruiser Heaven H151 swap kit for my LX and need some help diagnosing if I have mismatched parts or if I've screwed something up on the install. I just got the transmission aligned and sucked up to the engine and there is no resistance on the clutch fork...like the pressure...

    Question - Someones Unfinish 80.

    1k if everything else is functional--I wouldn't value the 350 at anything more than core return.

    Question - Someones Unfinish 80.

    LT1 or TPI 350? I don't think it's worth $2k.

    Re-drilling rotors

    I'm not sure if they are the same offset as the Chevy rotors. I used 94 Z28 calipers with built-in E brakes and made my own brackets.

    Re-drilling rotors

    I just used FJC rear rotors. Worked great with no mods.

    Emissions for antiques

    Thank you. The only place I saw an exemption explicitly stated was under the collector/antique license, and these seem to render the vehicle useless if the restrictions are enforced.

    Emissions for antiques

    Sorry to barge in on your clubhouse here. I was reading over vehicle licensing requirements on the WA DMV site and didn't see an emissions testing exemption for vehicles based on age other than those registered as collector cars. Do you all really have to get emissions tests on pre '75 trucks...

    sm465 swap

    I have a 3 speed TC, so I held out for a 10 spline SM465 to avoid having to swap the tranny mainshaft. For what it's worth, I was able to swap driveshafts front to back without any further modification.

    How are you supposed to separate birfields from axles again?

    use the steel pipe. don't drop the birf onto the pipe, rather rest the birf and drop the pipe and axle onto the concrete. make sure there is a rag in the pipe to catch the axle. this method has never failed for me.

    Any 5 Speed A/T Options for a Late 80 ?

    Why would you expect better highway mpg? Both trannies are single overdrive and I think the 4spd actually has a slightly more favorable OD ratio.

    Glucosamine treatment for an old warrior

    Nice truck. I would go for another set of ramshorns. They are very cheap from Summit, et al. You won't get 40 years out of headers.

    Linexing the inside of the FJ Hardtop

    I painted the inside of my top with white enamel. My truck is far from stock and I figured headliner would just be a sponge to hold moisture against the metal. I think it looks pretty good. As for removal, I have always used four cinch straps, one at each corner, to hoist the top against my...
