The Sheetz around here are all installing Ethanol free pumps- hopefully we see it at every gas station.

I’m really looking forward to seeing the Terrain Tamer springs on the road. The shackle angle keeps getting better…

Look at actual diameters- BFG are pretty small 33s. An extra 3/4” might be noticeable.

Is there coolant in the engine? Keep digging Are you in right hole?

@EWheeler … I agree. I watch almost every Land Cruiser auction and local sales on the US internet while attempting to control the costs of what I spend on mine.. I think mine is a cut above many in cosmetics and mechanical. Of course...

The first thing we checked was that the engine was not seized. It turned over easily by hand. Too easily, in fact. Did a quick visual on the timing and filed off a little nub that had developed on the points contacts, poured a little two-stroke...

What’s included in the kit?

Overland Cruisers of Bozeman MT has developed a kit to fit the Toyota 4.7 V8 and a H55 transmission in a FJ40. This kit gives your FJ40 Toyota V8 performance.

Jesse, such an amazing transformation from what it looked like when you brought it home from WV. Really happy I had a chance to see in person and hope it does well for you on BaT.

Absolutely.

Wishing that another MUD member picks this up so we can continue to follow this gem. Hope you get what you’re asking for, this build has been pristine.

Is this the nicest 40 currently out there? Because if not I want to see one nicer. Wow. Curious to see what it brings. It better bring the moon plus a little.

The only way to work on a tub.

👏 👏 👏 🥇 And you just wanted to give it to me …

Wow 1st place is good reward for your effort.

Well- @dlzadl and I have accomplished everything and more that we set out to do with this build. We have solidified plans for the next chapter……

I meant done with the build. Seems like the long way around to halfway install the harness.

How long till you’ll be wrapped?
