Let us know how that works out. I will have to do this on my 60 when I go to 4wheel discs.

Any idea what it would cost to box this up and mail it to me in Canada?

Your plan is similar to how I built mine. I wish I had another truck to measure off-of, as I have needed several iterations to work out what all of the outputs of the calculator mean and how they feel. I'm still not "done". You want to make sure you have no roll over-steer, as that feels...

Deadly. I am jealous for sure. I often wonder if an RV towing a trailer is better than a flat-bed with the cruiser on it towing an RV. Pros and cons to both.

You should just start another thread for the RV project. I have thought about a similar project for a while. 4x4 motorhome that can tow my heavy 40 on a flat-deck.

I had something similar on my 3B, and found a broken wire. There is a temp sensor in the system, so the glow thought the engine was dead cold still. It nuked my glow plugs, and I had to get new ones.

thanks for the info. I am going to try to sneak a PTO shaft up the drivers side too, so I may have to stick with the 4L60. I am currently collecting parts for my project.

Thanks for posting, and I have so many questions, but will start here: Which manifolds did you use? Did you have to use a body-lift to clear the 6L80? Thanks, Kevin

Where did you get that? I I need one of those made with Carling switch holes

I had planned on heading from the Okanagan to the Sunshine Coast the week before that date, so this could really work well for me. Thanks for the advance notice!

Thank you! that gives me the inspiration to give that a try. I'd like to keep my winch bumper.

I agree that its tight and I don't think it will fit. The drivers side exhaust will be in the way. I was just fishing for anyone that has tried it, and/or successfully done it.

My 3B swapped Fj60 has a PTO winch, and I am am planning a V8 swap in the next year or so. Has anyone managed to snake the PTO shaft past a V8 in a 60? I can't see how it will all fit, but I thought I would see if anyone knows of it being done.

I vote for plan A, for leg room and seat reclining (your comfort) and dog habitat (their comfort). There is no way you are gonna have that dog in an outside space, so just build the platform and enough space for a dog bed. storage underneath. maybe 2 or 3 feet?

I would love a weekend meeting so I could come down from the okanagan.
