Putting together a build thread for my recently-acquired 1988 FJ62. PO did a SOA lift, 4.88 gears and 37 inch tires. With all of that, the vehicle can barely get out of its own way. Given it's turtle-like speed, I dubbed it the LandSnoozer.
To wake up the LandSnoozer, I'm doing a run-of-the-mill LS swap. The biggest challenge is that I live in subdivision and will be doing my best to avoid getting a love note from the HOA.
Some quick credits - I was inspired by @dbbowen's thread, @Dubs2017's thread, and the many other excellent threads on this forum (thanks Mud Community). And I'm particularly grateful for the tech advice and parts from @cruisermatt.
