Very nice setup!

If you need v6 and want that look then getting a 3.4 and doing the swap would be my path, however I would still want the manual transmission. My 22r is slow but I get 22mpg with it. My 3.4 4wd manual got 18-20 fairly regularly with road trips hitting 24mpg.

That would be very steep for me for what that is. Not bad but 3.0 with auto is not the combination I want.

An fj28 body would be a nice looking rig

Also...the drive train and chassis don't have to be under an 80 body forever....older land cruiser bodies can benefit from the improvements the 80 series brought and you still have a cool rig

This is the worst part in my opinion. the bolts that usually break are in a place where you can't easily extract etc. Not to mention rust in the eyes etc. I have seen where a vehicle was rusted through in one area but no where else, it was because someone had left a bag of salt in a vehicle...

oh for sure. But i tell myself it makes me a better welder to get all that extra practice as the job i started, i didn't start it because it was easy but because i hoped really hard it would be easy.

have you met @slow95z ? i am an idiot but i would cut that section out and weld in a replacement even though its gonna be a really rough spot to do that. But i am an idiot as previously mentioned.

The reservoir leaks on mine a little. I have a new one to put in but haven't yet. All other hoses were changed. So yeah I think it is a thing.

I wonder if you could pull it out with this kit.. Amazon.com: Yuesstloo 10Pcs Motorcycle Bearing Extractor Puller Tool Kit, Professional Blind Hole Inner Bearing Extractor & Removal Tool Set for 8-25mm Bearings, Suitable for Various Motorcycle Wheel Bearings : Automotive -...

Are you sure that is a crack? looks like FIPG strings to me.

Decided I want to take this thing camping and I am too cheap to buy racks for it. So scrambled up some scrap metal tubing I had laying around. Too cold to paint and I was too tired anyway so I will paint them up and get them installed another day.

I don't know what a failing hb sounds like and that is why I replaced mine trying to track down my noise. Maybe someone else has a video of one with good audio too.

I have soo many rattles to chase down. Right now it is likely a little rough but doesn't seem too bad. Because I used headers, the stock heat shield didn't fit and the one I made is pretty low quality...noisy against the frame and probably even hitting the header when hot. I need it to stay...

I wanted some in-bed tie-downs so I used some angle iron and used the bolts that hold the side panels to the middle section. I didn't think the sheet metal would like the kind of ratcheting I plan to do.
