Have you installed a 2uz into a 60 with a PTO winch? I'm wondering if the driveshaft would clear the motor mount and oil pan.

I've also been working on a design for a nice bumper that retains the PTO winch.

At the risk of blowing up my build thread with naysayers, I installed some Spidertrax 1.5" wheel spacers. I followed the instructions to a T. The cruiser looks way better. I did notice slightly more steering effort, but in a good way. It feels more planted.

After I had gotten back from our trip in August, I changed the exhaust exit from the side to the rear to see if that made a difference with the smell. It didn't help and actually made it worse. Last week I borrowed a smoke machine and found a leak that needed to be welded up. Once that was fixed...

I had another go with installing a catch can. Another member had installed one from Improved Racing awhile back and I took note. I wanted one with bigger fittings so I didn't repeat overpressurizing the crankcase. Lo and behold eventually they came out with one! Pricey, but it sure is well made...

Got to take this thing for a quick joy ride. A 12HT with 3" straight pipe sounds so cool.

A bit far, but how about a Scout? :hillbilly: @cbmontgo it's amazing it came with all of those original documents. My 4Runner did as well, but that was... (counts with fingers) ...22 years ago!

Total was $511.27 including shipping, duties and taxes. I ordered from Nengun. I only got the mounts and sleeves. I did not get new nuts, bolts and washers; I reused the ones that came with the polyurethane kit as they were only a few years old. From what I've read, however, the body mount sizes...

After some cussing and cutting, I got the hoses off. Not flexible AT ALL. Hose was hard and sort of melted around the barbs; even broke one of the barbs off. The real kicker here is that the hoses were PVC. Soft PVC does not play well with diesel. Or gasoline for that matter. And it came with...

The stink seemed to be getting worse which made no sense seeing how I had replaced all of the door and window seals along with the D piller vent flaps. The cruiser had been parked for a few days and I happen to walk by and smell diesel. Huh. I took a peek underneath and the three vent hoses...

After we got back from the road trip up North, I decided to go back to OEM body mounts. The polyurethane mounts were ok for around town and off road driving, but the noise from 10 hours on the highway takes its toll. Brand new squishy goodness! The difference is noise and comfort is substantial...

I wouldn't weld it to seal it, you might trap more moisture than the original. I put marine grease between them when I did mine.

True, much easier than a rear main seal...:oops:

You might consider getting new flanges, or speedy sleeving them. They look like they have wear grooves where they seal.

Is there a transfer case for an h15x that supports a PTO gearbox like the splitcase does?
