    Now comes the installation of the new pump which is later years and non OEM, we work with what we have not with what we want, which is going to be pressed in order to align with the crankshaft pulley.

    After almost never seeing FJ40's around here, I met @lemecdemeure while taking a close look at his classy FJ40! It is truly amazing. I also saw another one on the way home. I really need to get mine stateside!

    It hugely depends on the port of entry! If it easier through TJ/SD, you got yourself a visitor my friend! Also, it is possible that I drive another one from the West Coast to the East coast in the next year or so...
