The structural integrity of the body does not depend on the doors. just look at the 3 points where the door attaches, besides, I used my cruiser for a week without the front doors and it was a peice of cake to re-installed them
I already removed my 2 front doors and used my cruiser for a week without them.
nothing went wrong when I re-installed the doors
I loved the extreme feeling that you get when you don't have the doors, because since I could see the tire and the ground, it felt as if you were to fall out.
I...
The 2f is more suitable for a heavy chassis because all of its torque is produced around 1,500rpm, the 22re suffers because to get the power you need to rev considerably higher.
This initial torque helps alot when you are moving such a heavy vehicle
mine works just like surf pig said. The fan turns on only when you turn off the engine and the engine is in operating temp. It turns off once the engine has cooled below a certain temp.
tip for those that have nonfunctional fans. Mine stopped working a few months ago because the fans'...
I know of this guy by my house that has a FJ40 with a SOA and 39" pitbull rockers. He currently has a header with a weber 32/36 but he wants more power and is seriously considering making the 2F turbo with propane injection.
Has any one seen a turbo 2f before? How does propane injection...
if money is a concern, lockers and good tires would smoke any stock jeep.
But, if you insist. I have man-a-fre soft ride 2 1/2" springs, with 2" extended shackles, (They add up to 4 1/2" of lift) To complete the lift I added maf poly bushings, rancho RS 5,000 nitro shocks and extended...
I kind of remember seeing a tuffy style center console priced in the $200 range for fj60-62
you can look for center consoles that are made for jeeps and other vehicles, (make shure they have the proper dimensions,) and adapt it to the land cruiser.
well, I would never pour water in my engine. Because the risk factor in putting unnecessary stress on the internal components of the engine are too great. Water does not compress.
With that said, I would rather clean my engine with nitrous oxide. I know you guys must be like LMAO! But...
I have absolutely no problems starting my 2f.
When cold:
Option 1 choke, and crank it up!(always fires up within one or two seconds of cranking)
Option 2 crank it up without the choke.(fires up within 3 or 4 seconds of cranking)
When hot: No choke, turns on almost...
pathfinder: to my understanding, land cruiseres with updated fuel tanks get a special sticker or metal tag in the engine bay.
I have a question of my own. Does my !983 FJ60 qualify for the fuel tank and seat belt recalls? I called my local toyota dealer today and they told me that my land...
my exhaust
LOL 4"!!! My neighbors twin turbo supra has a 4" exhaust!
This is how it goes down. I have a 2.5" exhaust from the exhaust manifold to the tail pipe with less bends than original design.
I am still sound and emissions legal with a magnaflow cat and muffler!
The exhaust temp...
My recent pics
Since I like to see other person's cruiser pics, here are some of my recent additions.
Havin fun at a local trail.
These pics are from a shop that specializes in land cruisers and other toyotas. I was amazed when I saw all of the land cruisers that were junked there...
Before getting a box, I reccomend getting a high performance coil.
Like this one: http://www.msdignition.com/coil_blaster_3_8222.htm
It is not as expensive as a "box" but will give you power gain and it installs in the stock location.
to increase performance you have to reduce restrictions in the intake and exhaust(header, muffler, and cam) you also have to detonate the air/fuel mixture more completely by changing the ignition components(msd box and spark plugs)
When he says msd box he means an ignition control that manages...
