Just wanted to introduce my self to the Pig community. I have had a few land cruisers at this point and this one is by far my favorite so far! I started my next land cruiser adventure! with a 1971 fj55 with a 2f and 4 speed out of a 1976. Did...
Transmission and Adapter for sale, $1000 for all, willing to split and sell separate. Price negotiable, can help load. Came with a project FJ40, but looking to go another direction with the build.
Transmission is a 1990 700R4, bought rebuilt...

3Sp,transfer case, overdrive, bell housing, It did run great but would not shift in the overdrive unit , I took the overdrive apart and all I see is the shifter on the overdrive weld is broken and I also think the synchro snap ring might be...
Put on the PS scuff plate. Had to remove the old one to do so. Drilled out a few screwheads and pried it up. 50 years of spilled drinks and whatnot glued it down pretty well. Chipped out the glue with a wood chisel, color matched the interior...

You need it resurfaced. Don't take it to the chain shops listed above. They will use a brake...
You can do it!
I know what you mean about everyone else swiping their credit card or writing a check.
