    1985 1hz Troopy .... It begins

    Yes, the motor is fitted with all new mounts and was fitted by the previous owner, who has built many of these trucks so I assume it's in good nick. What exhaust are you runningRosco?? Would wreckers have these gearbox or would i need to source a private owner ? Either way i don't mind

    82 FJ40 Dying in 4wd

That's why maybe it could have been some bad fuel .... because it only recently got her she was sitting for a...
