Bumping this to the top.
Got the Air cleaner assembly back from the powder coater.
I had to peel the gasket out of the top lid to be able to powder coat.
Is there something I can use to replace that as it doesn't appear to be available any...
It's quite a bit more than that, to be honest. You need to change out the transfer case as well, but it will bolt up to the 2F '4 speed' bellhousing. There are modifications you'd need to do to the transfer case hump, modify driveshafts. It's...
It's doable, but the 3.73s are the most expensive gearsets.
What does 'more highway friendly' really mean to you?
You're going to have less 'giddy up go' feeling and more overall top speed, but really, 4.11s will get your truck to 65-70mph...
If Toyota followed Fords marketing drivel,
eg: "The F Series pickup is the best selling vehicle in the world" -they combine F150, F250, F350 and F450 together in those numbers...
Sales of the Hilux, Tacoma, Tundra, and J79 Land Cruiser would...
TRDOR 4th gen Tacomas are pushing $54k, and dealerships have a mile long waiting list of people willing to pay that, and thats not even the hybrid model.
I don't really understand what Toyota is doing with the J250 platform. It seems like there...
4 door long bed manual with the TRD Off Road package would be awesome.
I don';t suppose a 6 speed swap would be too difficult to do, but for offroading either a dual t-case or Atlas4 would be the way to go.
Auto vs manual it's personal preferance.
I drove a 76 FJ40 with an SM420 conversion (has a 7:1 first gear, but it was effectively a 3 speed on the street, not really that big of an issue, though). Countless trips around Utah, Nevada...
To me it has nothing to do with money, if I buy a fj40 tub I expect a fj40 tub , not as close as they could get. Now if you tell me, sorry none of the offerings are turn key and the buyer is aware that what they are purchasing may have flaws...
I think the variable here is, how much time will be spent on body work is this topnault tub going to require vs the CCOT tub?
For my uses, as I am not looking for a museum quality restoration, if I have to do some fabrication and body work to...
I think a lot of perspective is missing here.
I was talking to a renowned Land Cruiser restorer about my FJ40 project to get an idea of price (WAY more than I could afford). I asked if they patched tubs and they told me it's pretty rare that...
I am watching this with eagerness. I have a 76 FJ40 and I am thinking rather seriously about a Topnault tub as all I really have that is good on my 40 is the bib, aprons, firewall/cowl and transmission tunnel. Everything else is tweaked, rusted...
Man, that was my DREAM bike when I was 16. Saved like crazy to buy one, and when I finally had the $$$ I test rode one and.... I didn't like it. The LBS guys had me ride a couple of Gary Fishers, and I wound up getting a '98 Mt Tam with a few...
Would the museum be able to get a pre-production truck for the collection?
I think that would be something really cool to have in there, side by side with a production truck.
Or will they get crushed like the pre-production FJ Cruisers did?
1. I believe that the kits are available from Toyota still, I also think that there are PNs available for everything that you can order from Toyota.
2. Don't over think this, just get some 31" light truck tires or whatever the metric equivalent...
I am cleaning the remains of the head gasket off of the top of the block with a scrape-u-lator and, while I stuffed some paper towels down the hole for the pushrods and water gallery, crud is still getting through. I am trying to push anything...
