New shoes and sliders. 1998 fzj73 with 1fzfe Happy to be on the 70 series. A.J

Good times good friends

Man, glad it turned out well! I just picked up a 1HZ powered FJ73 and am on the fence about adding a turbo to it. It runs so nice with the lighter body versus the HZJ80 or the HZJ60 I turbod in the past. Post up some engine bay pics!
