Thanks for all the info. Keep it coming. I'll be going to the junk yard sometime this week to look for possible engines. My budget isn't that big maybe 4-5k give or take, also since I'm still sorta new at this stuff a engine that'll be easy to install would be best.
Another thing on my mind is...
Wow those seats look great! I'm heading to the junk yard tomorrow morning. Hopefully I find something. Thanks for the pics.
Also the sab seats look great also
So I have a 78fj40 with no engine, I really want to put a different engine besides the 2f primarily because the 2f is 40 years old and parts are too readily available. I would like to be able to go up to any part store and get a part. Since im planning on taking this on road trips.
So what...
So the 2 front seats on my 78 fj40 are toast rusted and chewed up. Im looking for some new ones online but im not sure if all seat brackets are universal or if the fj40s seat brackets are specific. Ive never been in the market for car seats so im in the dark on this topic. Also im making a trip...
I haven't found one yet. Is it from California? How much are you asking for? The trans i have was rebuilt before it stopped running so I'm sure the one I have is still good.
@Cruiserdrew thanks for all that info, very helpful.
I do have a friend that j lives here in California but also has a Arizona ID. How would I register it in another state? Would I need to have it towed over there and have the DMV look at it?
If I have it registered in Arizona with my friend...
So I found an engine from a '84 fj60 that a 2f. All parts seem to be there, the owner told me he bought the truck for parts and the plugs were cut and he doesn't have the keys also doesn't know the condition of the motor.
I will be going to take a look at it this Saturday.
If the engine is in...
what would be a good price for a good running 2f vs a decent 2f motor that needs some work.
I dont know much about engine pricing.
on craigslist i found a 2f that was just rebuilt 30 miles from where i live, the guys selling it for $1800
