I don’t really know about US regulation. But am fitting the original 2H on a pallet into the container free of charge.

It’s not easy for me to put it up for sale but am leaving the country. I’ve listed it reserved do 30k FOB in container. 33k CIF to NewYork (cost insurance and fret). If anyone wants to discuss, am open to ! This rig is modded so no legal back in my country (France); you guys in the US have the...

Hi friends ! This built is over, had lot of fun in the wild bush and is now listed up for sale. From Africa to wherever you want to! Pardon Our Interruption... - https://ebay.us/m/RXIjRu

Your disc will be held tight by thightening the rim, no worries on the holes dia for the studs IMHO as long as the hub hole dia is fitting normaly (no play). Do not thread lock the little set screw or it will be a big pain to remove later. This screw is just for convinience and avoid the disc...

OP says it comes from an HJ45 from 80. it's not an H, so would be a B. Never seen a 2B in a lwb as well, but B and 3B yes.

Agree on the H55 suply dates You 2B is certainely coming from a BJ45 (with an H4x 4 speed), not so rare in JDM and African markets. Slow but workhorses. About 55hp at the wheel and a ton of torque.

There is tons of options to swap. Why would you go to Vortec instead of sticking to toyota ? You can get decent options in inline 6 by adding a turbo to your 2F or V6 by switching to something beefier like the 1GR. If you are going to the 1GR-FE path, you would be able to choose a manual...

Here marks the end of the "friend's shop" time; some photos before getting to the house after registration, insurance and tax payement. roof rack and tent installed, on the road going home to finish little things ! :) :) :)

Looks progressing huh ? Get back in your shop ! the rest remains to be done ! While the paint is curing, wiring is on the go. I hate wiring, even with a painless loom, i hate it (still not fully done at the time am typing). this air box was needing a fresh coat... and off to start the...

Then, the paint ! After 2 years without painting anything, am almost proud of what i've done here, without booth, in a hot weather. stick welded plates are ok-ish, sort of a souvenir from its past ownersssss All insides were done in tinted Raptor lining, all Ext in standard paint, Toyota...

After turning, returning, on and off the chassis, it was time to get on the body. Part that i love and hate at the same time... bodywork. The floor of the rear tub was toasted and already repaired multiple times by stick weld ans some brazing.... I've decided to get rid of it. New sheetmetal...

The idiom was "we will dismantle until we find something great to start with........" This frame was then bristle blasted. and we started to repaire/reweld the 5 cracks found on it. I've decided to mig weld some fish plates around the engine block supports and reweld leafsprings eyelets...

Then off to another place... Yes, please this Japanese firetruck with 8000km on the ODO, i'll take the front axle and a pair of locking hubs, Aisin please. Endded the 3 days trip with my pile of junk and some stuff from Ironman4x4 and BFGoodrich :) Straight to container and shipped ! Time...
