Land Cruiser NW in Portland is great. Had them work on 2 trucks. Tony, Matt, and their techs are solid.

On principle I’m allergic to rivnuts, though I do get they’re mega useful. I’d say you won’t regret trying to get back to OEM best you can. Tack in a stud if you’re willing/able

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but is a similar conversion possible with a h55 to a 1fze? Is there a kit in the works? FJ co sadly discontinued their bell-housing but I’m wondering if an adaptor plate would be enough. I love the simplicity of this one.

Use some clamps to pinch the lines inside the cab as close to the core as possible. Have a yogurt container near by. Remove each hose connecting to the core one by one, draining off the fluid left in the hose into the yogurt container. Then dump out the core and run a garden hose through it...

Edit: deleted diatribe. TLDR: I bought one from Colombia in person. It was a nightmare. Just try to find one from the UAE or Saudi. Trust me.

Bump + price drop

@mdsims I don’t recommend working with them. They consistently lied about deadlines and costs. I recommend talking to David Vega at Toyo Garage Parts in Bogota. He’s a stand up guy and runs a vary popular OEM parts shop in the city. He can probably point you to some more reputable...

Thanks! Hardtop and sides were manufactured by Fabripartes MM in Bogota. They also did the other metal/bodywork. Everything is steel, including the roof.
