    Builds Brown FJ60 + FZJ80 + Chevy 5.7 = THE FLYING TERD PROJECT!!!

    If you can build this truck you can easily abate the mold in your basement. Seriously I used to be a project manager and the company I worked for did a lot of the put back work after the abatement guys were finished. Mold abatement isn't nearly as daunting as the companies will tell you (or...

    Cummins 4bt or 6bt?

    What is the deal with the 4bt's and everyone having to be careful with their egts? I would be interested but It always concerns me how much thought everyone seems to put into driving their 4bt. Has anyone got one of these setup so you can drive it like a v8 cruiser with no concern how you...

    Why is this happening?!

    Just sell. You obviously didn't really do a restoration and your going to hate this thing until you do.

    INTERESTED BUYERS FOR TURBO or SUPERCHARGER KIT FOR 3FE engine ?

    This guy was really just a lot of hot air. I think he sold his 62 already. He went from turbo kit to Buick engine swap to v8 swap and predictably none of it happened.

    Diesel Tundra

    Dodge really nailed it on this one beating everyone to the market. They had 8500 orders in three days. Just have to see how the tweener cummins does. Isn't Toyota and Nissan using the same motor? I'm kinda torn, if I'm going to have a 5l I'm probably just buying a 3/4 ton and get the...

    What do you think about shackle lift for inexpensive alternative to ome kit

    The best advice given was the long add a leaves. Vs flat stock springs it gives close to 2" of lift. Its plenty for 33s. It will feel a bit more stiff but it is also incredibly cheap.

    Permit Hell

    The permit system seems to be working quite well. I for one don't mind the hassle since it seems to keep the trash out. When I'm in AZ I spend a lot of time on my dirtbike and Sycamore is one of my favorite places but the dirtbags have really over taken that place. The shooters are out of...

    Opinion on the CL find? FJ60 with Chevy V8

    Looks like a great deal. You can actually drive a v8 60 like a modern vehicle when needed. There is not much work to putting a simple v8 in a 60. Even if it had a couple issues as long as your not completely helpless that is a very fair price for a smog legal v8 with a rust free body.

    TBI vs vortec

    You really do feel the extra 100 ft lbs of torque. I thought I would build my motor later down the road but I've never felt the need to do it. It'll hold 75 up grades even with the 35s and stock gears. 4.56s, 35s and the auto would be the perfect combo. I have the gears but for now it is...

    TBI vs vortec

    I did a TBI swap about 4.5 years ago in my 60 and it has been fantastic. First time I ever did a swap or anything that in-depth and in about 4 weeks (couple nights and 2 weekends) it was running and through emissions. AC works great and its been extremely reliable. Much more so than my 2f...

    Vortec swap; what's this noise?

    I didn't hear anything concerning. What noise in that video concerns you? Without an intake its going to sound different. No exhaust isn't helping either. I wouldn't run it to much without an air filter either to be safe. Fuel injection on those motors are louder than you would imagine.

    SBC Swap 4spd to Auto need help

    There's really no option to discuss. you would use the 700r4 if you want an auto with that year motor. If you want a 4l60e you would need to switch to a new computer and new wiring harness. That's assuming you actually have a 91 chevy engine and components installed. The auto works...

    To anyone with a SOA set up...

    Fyi a cut and turn has nothing to do with steering. Its only done to correct pinion angle. I would change to a high steer setup.
