Was in north Raleigh and saw this beauty. One of the cleanest I have ever seen. The interior was flawless as well.

Was in North Raleigh/Wake Forest taking the 40 to the carwash and I saw this lovely topless yellow 40 and had to stop and take a few pictures. It makes me happy whenever I see one in the wild.

That sucks, but I appreciate your insight. I just had a r2.8 swap completed, and although it's not a daily driver and having it out of service isn't a big deal, I really hope Cummins gets this worked out.

Was this before or after the R2.8 was out of stock from Cummins?

Is your experience based on the ISF2.8? My understanding is that while they are very similar, the r2.8 uses the same Chinese milled engine block but its assembled in the USA and they are not identical engines.

Yeah, that's the crate engine that they came out with as part of their "repower" program. It's based on an international ISF2.8 diesel they have had for a few years. It's assembled and shipped from Indiana, although it has parts in common with the overseas version. I'm not sure if I'm the...

sorry for the delayed response, was at east coast gear supply having air lockers and the gears lowered to 4.88’s. im digging around looking for the right numbers, will post info find it.....

I've got an FJ40 imported from Venezuela listed as a 1985, but with a build date of "1984". I'll try to add the relevant info here... 2f engine code: 866110 Frame: fj40-940306

Hey everyone, new to the forum, and new to FJ40’s, so I thought I would introduce myself. I’ve had 4 land rovers/rang rovers over the years, and always loved the FJ40, so I went ahead and got one. I’ve been looking for a while, and probably made some mistakes in my purchase, but I love it all...
