"Nancy" the TLC is going up for sale. I have her listed on eBay Motors as well. Just under 180K miles on the frame. A440 transmission and original transfer case rebuilt at around 176K miles (completed by AAMCO). Interior is clean. Aftermarket stereo with front USB input. Rubber floor mats...
On another note, if I don't sell, I did find that the Mark's 713027-EK kit is $2700 and bolts directly to a Vortec or LS motor w/ wiring harness. I could get that, a decent motor and beg my mechanic to help me on labor. At least then she would run for around $4K. Something to maybe consider.
I wouldn't remove any parts for any reason. I currently own this vehicle (title in hand) and a crappy Xterra. The plan is to get a new vehicle with a downpayment amounting to whatever I sell both of these for. I love this vehicle, but I will probably buy another one at a later date when time...
I'm interested to know what you ended up doing. My main reason is that I'm contemplating selling my FJ62 for lack of funds and time to work on her. If you mate the vortec/LS directly to the A440F, what additional parts are needed besides the wiring harness for the new engine, the engine mounts...
I have the AAMCO paperwork confirming the recent rebuild of the transmission and transfer case. My mechanic confirmed that only the engine was damaged when she threw the rod.
It has been forever since I've been on here. My poor TLC has been sitting since I broke the engine (threw a rod in March of 2021). I have done zero to her. 190,000 original miles on the frame. Recently rebuilt the transmission and transfer case. I am going to need to buy a new vehicle...
Just today I looked at some really nice packages with Dobinson and I think I'm going to go that route. A local friend of mine just purchased an FJZ80 and went with the Dobinson...looks amazing.
I have a custom made rear bumper that splits in the middle and has a tire carrier attached to the...
FJ60 Door Card - eBay
I do like the items from TT, though. The coil conversion kits I've considered are from TT, but I want to know the benefits of going completely coil versus leaf spring. I know articulation might be better with coils but I'm I gaining any other benefits or am I losing any...
I have a grey interior. I knew there were FJ62s with manual options. I already have all of the hardware to change the windows but I want new door cards. Don't care if the look OEM or not, as long as they are functional and tough.
1. FJ60 style door cards...I drive an FJ62 but I want to change all four doors to manual. I have already changed one door but it looks ghetto...it works flawlessly though. I found some cool looking door cards on eBay but I'd like to see what y'all think first, instead. Just want a clean look...
Is it possible to use an OEM style radiator with a 5.3 / 4L60E swap? My radiator was brand new 2 years ago for my 3FE. I have a CFS 2708 radiator from Summit Racing currently in the truck.
Why go to a retailer when I can ask the people on here, who genuinely care if I succeed on my own? I really appreciate all of you for your speedy responses. I'm not jumping for answers from retailers that aren't personally reaching out to me on this forum. I'd rather establish real...
