So I’m no stranger to turning wrenches and planned on doing the swap myself anyways. But if I’m gonna do the work and spend the time I want to put in freshly rebuilt stuff so it’ll last for the next 200,000 miles.
So I guess where is the best places to buy an already rebuilt motor?
either 2f...
I’m not opposed to a diesel but I’m still in the desert in more than one way.
Id like to buy it from someone or from a shop that’s trustworthy. There’s no real help in the area if I run into problems or can’t do something myself. The one local mechanic doesn’t want to work on a 2F because “it’s...
So I have a 1986 fj60 that I really love. The interior has been dynamatted and all the upholstery has been done. However I went to drive it yesterday and smoke was just pouring out of the tailpipe. I got out and checked and sure enough there’s oil buildup in the tailpipe.
I had been planning on...
I’ve never messed with the factory carb only webbers so I’ll be of no help. But I know with a Webber proper jetting for the altitude (I’m at 5000) and a proper electric fuel pump does wonders.

Fair point, however it’s just an account for Toyota’s. and if you’re dealing with anything that’s worth a significant amount of money (however that much is to you) maybe you should do better follow through, phone calls, FaceTime not just private messaging with some random person from a forum...
This is a forum about Toyota’s not my bank account. If I met the requirements for the password “but it’s too weak” that’s so so stupid. What’s gonna happen someone writes gibberish from my account? Stupid waste of everyone’s time
Well it’s been a while, but I’ve gotten a lot of good things done.
The manual steering has all brand new tie rods,
the wiring problem with the alternator is fixed,
New alternator
Drive belt
Voltage regulator
OME lift kit,
small coolant leak fixed,
A Petronix solid state pickup coil was...
time to Revive an old thread, I think it’s cool and would love to see a write up on how someone did it, seems like it’d be easier to do on a fj than say an old caddy with sweeping lines. I have a normal hardtop but I also have extra doors and windshield frame So I’m tempted to try it on a...
