I ran into a guy at Skagit Powdercoating that had a 2.8l Cummins in his and he was very happy with it. Looks like Cummins is doing a crate motor for just this purpose...Introducing Cummins’ Crate Engine Program: Cummins Repower™ hopefully it will be cheaper than Bank's crate motor 13110 Engine...

Perfect, thank you

Anyone know where to get ABS/HPDE sheet in the Seattle area? I tried to source it online but shipping is steep!

The specs don't lie, and I'm just throwing out options. I actually own an 05' tundra and really really like it. But just to play devils advocate, It is nice that the tacoma is available with a 6 speed manual, e-locker, skid plates, and more aftermarket support. If only it came with the 4.7 vvti!

I had the same problem, it turned out to be the inner shifter boot. It was hardened from old age. I made a couple cuts to allow the shifter to move freely again and no more problems

Have you considered a 2nd gen Tacoma double cab? They are within an inch of the track/wheelbase, and height/width/length of a 1st gen tundra DC. Plus you can get a more capable TRD package with the Tacoma

I have those seats in my 62 also. Very nice seats.

I'm thinking trunion bearings

I'm kindof in the same boat, I bought a 62 with a carbed 350/700r4/splitcase. A 5.7 Vortec will bolt into your engine mounts and exhaust, LS series vortecs will require moving engine mounts and exhaust a little. What I personally have decided on is a TPI setup. It is mpfi, cheap, bolts right...

I have that setup. I'm getting 9-12mpg with a torque converter that isn't locking and probably costing me a mpg or two. 4.10s and 31" tires. I like it okay...I have a TPI setup in the garage that will go on eventually.

Jim doesn't just rebuild your carb, he rebuilds and tunes it to your engine configuration and driving style...so he has that going for him, which is nice

It's not a direct fit but it can work. The 62 bumper is a little taller so you either need to use the bumper brackets from the 62 or make some spacers to make up the difference

Hey all, looking for a drivers side front fender for a fj60 in good condition. I'm between Seattle and Bellingham on the I-5 corridor
