I wanted to begin posting the progress of my fj40. I started to entitle it "How to waste money, time, and effort... " but, i got sentimental and decided to not be coy.
So far.. I have bought parts... and took parts outta of other stuff for the build.
As of right now... it looks like it will be a frame off restoration starting with the drivetrain.
- 350 TBI
- 4l60e trans
- Stock toyota transfer case
- 3.70 front and rear
I plan to completely rebuild the trans engine and diffs. if I can find a transfer case rebuild kit I probably will rebuild that too.
The engine and trans is outta a 1994 Chevy Van. Diff gears have yet to be found.
I will try to document as much as I can.
Here are the picks I have now. I included a couple from the van for fun.
Special thanks to Josh, Pete, Larry, and Jeff for the help with the uninstalls
