Yeah, I reeeeeeeeeally want a diesel. Once the 3FE tires some more, I'll look into a 1HZ/HD. Still need to do some research to work out the details of the conversion.
Perhaps.. I really wanted to build an extreme expedition cruiser. Plus, the stock axles had 4.88/arb/hysteer that...
actually, I should have said perch. the pumpkin was milled a little and a new top plate made for the pass. side. spring mounting.
'ppreciate the compliments. :beer:
Makes sense. I hope to replace my 3FE/H55 with a 1HD or 1HZ in the mid future. Approx. how much is a low mile 1HD-T or FT/bellhousing/input ?
What auxillary components (alt, starter, etc..) would need to be included in the swap?
???
HJ60 Guy, do you know if the H55 that's behind the 1HZ has the same input shaft as the H55 behind your old 2H? IOW, are the 1HZ and 2H direct swaps? Bellhousings? I actually emailed GS cruisers this question but haven't gotten a response, yet...
'ppreciate it :cheers:

Cool!! Glad you guys like it. I'm f-in stoked.
I started with a junk yard pass. side drop chevy dually d60 front that was 69.5" w/o the dually hubs. The driver's side was retubed. The pass. side knuckle was removed using heat/cooling to separate from tube. Then we tacked some...
actually, the picture is deceiving because the drag link is overlapping. the steering setup is basically a stock setup, for now. i plan on going hydro assist soon, tho, so screw the dampener :flipoff2:
the springs are ome 11s in the front and ome 1131 that I removed a leaf.
this my pig after the d60/d70 swap: yukon chromo inner and outer shafts, yukon 4.88, CTMs :flipoff2:, arb up front and basically the matching rear setup. 4wdb, hardened high angle drivelines. Still need to open front fenders some. otherwise, here drivetrain is a 3f/h55/splitcase. and when...
I went with the painless wiring dual batt. 250amp current control. tho, one could get all these components separately.
I'm going to add a marine batt. switch somewhere to be able to cut all power and fully disable the pig. And maybe put a marine 2 batt. switch (3 position) on the winch to give...
check the fusible link ( + side of battery). The housing may look okay, but the wire inside is probably toasted and not making a connection. I'd be willing to bet your relays are fine.
I had a similar problem on my fj62. After spending good $ on a couple toyota relays (brake light relay...
Great ideas. I am almost finished building the rear drawer and storage for my 62.
A little about my design:
I removed the rear seats. Rhino-lined everything. I cut a piece the exact shape as the flat footprint of the cargo and secured it to the body using existing mount points (62 has...
