Will take a pic of both while out there today. Should mention I say "out there" because I have the cruiser stored about an hour from my house, so I wont always be able to get pics or answer question about part condition right away. Any requests today while I get there should be able to answer...
a friend in my neighborhood has been driving this as DD for past year or 2. To my knowledge it ran fine and was reliable for her until trans went out. She decided she was not going to replace trans so I ended up buying for a couple of items that I wanted to replace on my FJ62. The big items I...
I need to find a guy that can do this is St Louis! Did you already have the fittings that went to the compressor and have new lines crimped to what you already had or did this guy make the whole lines himself? If you already had the lines could you tell me what application they were for? I...
Hey Cam, thanks for the pics. I was trying to figure out how you got your passenger exhaust past the tcase before crossing over and have just came to conclusion our cases must engage differently (guessing since mine is fj62???). I have what seems to be a vacuum pump in the way that I don't see...
Great looking project Cam! Your thread and a few others on here are what convinced me to buy my cruiser and do this swap. I thank you for the instruction manual to get me through. We actually cranked motor over for first time yesterday just to make sure electric was run right, don't have fuel...
I bought the 1989 FJ62 in March of 2015 with 279,xxx on clock. Motor still ran well and trans shifted fine. There were 2 owners before me, I am third. It shows the previous owners cared for vehicle inside and out. The last owner before me had the transmission rebuilt by Huntington Beach...
I may have what you need. I am new to land cruiser but believe they have a 8" differential, same as the 4runners? I have a set up 8" 5.29 diff that I ran in my 4runner for about 6 months (it was used when I bought it). It worked fine. Didn't make any unusual noise and seemed fine. I bought...
Oh yeah, also wanted to ask if you had any other suggestions for motor mounts? My installer is a great mechanic, and can do fab work but I am trying to keep it to a minimum for him. I am willing to spend a little more coin to keep this as plug and play as possible. Did you have other mounts...
Hey guys, thanks for replies. I know there is a lot of knowledge on here, it is great to be able to tap into it!
Mace & Wile E Coyote - I may be dreaming thinking I'll pull the 4runner. My thoughts were a good trailer prob weighs 4-5 thousand lbs, my 4runner is a lil over 4 so prob around 9k...
Thanks for anyone checking out my swap. I am going to try to make this as useful a thread as I can when not actually being the one to do the swap myself, so will have limited pics of the work actually being done. But will leave a detailed list of parts and odds and ends needed to make my...
