Looks great Michael- I like the location of the fuse box in the tuffy- Remember this one when i was there- I dont even want to know how that 5.3 drives- it would be like crack to a 2f guy.

Very clean install. I love it.

Are you happy with the FJ-62 shifter?

Very clean install. I love it.

Are you happy with the FJ-62 shifter?

Yes and No. The way it is set up now you just pull it right past D and into 3 which is actually D for the 4L60. That is one of the things that we may change in the future but the owner wanted to keep it as stock looking as possable so it will stay for now.

The 62 shifter works perfect if you use the Lokar adjustable shift arm off of the tranny and their adustable length arm from there to the shifter. This allows the indicator to be correct in all gear positions.

any more details on the electric radiator fan setup...what type fans, what is controlling on and off?

Any close up pics of the A/C hoses... I need to have some made for my FJ60...with GM A/C compressor off a 1999 Yukon and the rest toyota.

The fan is a Summit Dual Electric fan w/ shroud. We had to make a custom mount to mount it to the radiator but it looks factory. The ECU controls the ON/OFF

Any close up pics of the A/C hoses...

We had to buy the Buick AC Hoses from the dealer and then had them cut up. We have a hose shop in town that can make us ANY hose that we need (A/C, Brake, PS, Etc). EVerything is stock Toyota except the hose from the compressor to drier and from the AC Box back to the compressor.

Hey,

Thanks for the feedback. I did not recognize the fans and from what I can see looks like a very good setup. I like the SPAL aftermarket brand stuff, so far I've had good luck with a dual fan setup from a ford contour V-6 model.

I need to check around to see what the local shop can do on A/C hoses...

I think the V-8 really makes these trucks fun to drive.

any more pics of the tranny pan ?? you trimed it and the oil pan right

 

[turbeau69]

TOOOO SWEET! That is pretty much the setup I am looking to do over the next couple of years while I am on shore duty(NAVY), except the auto will be a 5 speed.

Edit: I sure hope that trans mount bolt got tightened.... I will check in the AM.
