    Hesitation on Acceleration with Trollhole Carb

    For what it's worth, the carb is still slightly balky ten years down the line, but reliable, and I have a desmogged Jim C. unit sitting in a box for after I put the H55 in hopefully before too much good weather goes by. I'm willing to chock any weirdness, early on, up to me being an idiot 24...

    School a newb on E-Bikes

    I put an $800 mid-drive on a $550 gravel bike and put together a pair of 500Wh batteries for it after finding that the only ready-made e-bike that could handle 250 pounds of me plus 50 pounds of gear (Super73 RX, highly recommend if you're a heavy but not tall bastard) was lying when they said...

    High output alternator in place of air pump

    Here's my thinking, with a desmogged and way too lived-in and abused to ever want to keep stock truck (10 years of DD on zero budget does that): If you're thinking of a second alternator to take up space on the left side of a desmogged 2F... - You probably wanna deal with the crappy OEM power...

    Source for KM3- 33x10.5R15

    I've had a set of the DC Extreme Country's since 2016(?) in 33x10.5, and I like them a lot. The only other personal comparisons I can make are to Super Swampers in 32x10.5 (they were much louder, worse in snow/ice, no better on any kind of rocks/mud that I ever noticed), Yokohama Geolandar ATs...

    What in the world is this guy doing to his leaf springs?

    Leaf springs are made of 5160, which sword nerds have been cold-working, grinding, and sometimes hot-forging into blades since they've been showing up in junkyards. From what I know about heat-treating 5160, it actually isn't probably all that difficult to 'properly' hot re-arch. What you need...

    Has anyone tried swapping the V6 motor and 6-speed trans from an FJ Cruiser into an FJ60?

    Serious answer, at least in my own goofy-assed new-kid-reinventing-the-wheel POV? Wood gas for old, bad engines you don't care about, some combo of propane, hydrogen, methane/natural gas, or ethanol for anything you'd like to keep running for a long time/it's easier to find fuel than...

    Has anyone tried swapping the V6 motor and 6-speed trans from an FJ Cruiser into an FJ60?

    For what it's worth, for my money, I'm just polishing the 2F turd until my hobby experiments with electric power on two-wheeled stuff that I've been getting into lately and advances in battery/fuel cell tech intersect and I can get ~300 ft/lbs, a bunch of manually selectable gears (because I...

    Has anyone tried swapping the V6 motor and 6-speed trans from an FJ Cruiser into an FJ60?

    The conventional wisdom is that for the effort involved, there's always some combination of Chevy V8/Toyota diesel/cobbled-to-your-exact-needs bastard 2FE/2F-TBI and Toyota and GM/NV/etc. running gear & adapters to put all of it under the truck. The thinking is that'll one of those is guaranteed...

    2F Fuel injection installation????????

    I feel like if it's running fine and you're happy with it, EFI only makes sense as something to start piling up parts for when something expensive to replace eventually goes bad on/in the carb and the proverbial house of cards that is a working stock smog setup starts to come down. But, for now...

    SOLD Boise, Idaho: Complete 1995 Engine, Transmission, Transfer Case - 161K miles

    No US-market 80-series trucks came with a manual, and you can clearly see the 'P/R/D' on the dash in the second video. If you want a 1fzfe in your 62, you could use the whole 80 automatic drivetrain, some combination of the right bellhousing etc. to keep your trans (probably not a great...

    Adding a splined yoke to the back end of the split-case input shaft?

    Ok, I feel pretty silly for forgetting about PTO boxes, since those do exactly what I want, but bolted to that spot with the fancy little cover on the underside instead of monkeying with the input shaft... So, question is, how much torque can the Toyota PTO box handle? If it's enough, I think I...

    Adding a splined yoke to the back end of the split-case input shaft?

    Ok, this is definitely pretty out there, but I've gotten it into my head that it'd be nice to have an extra 50-100 ft/lbs on tap with a beefy brushless motor and a couple hundred pounds of lithium batteries under the floorboards (good for COG 🤷‍♂️ ), and I think I've convinced myself that it'd...

    SOLD Chevy 350 swap kit for fj 60 with ranger overdrive

    Willing to sell just the Ranger by itself? I don't need the transmission or crossmember, and I'm guessing the bellhousing and clutch bits add a lot to shipping.

    Seatbelt Planet Colors

    99% sure I got dark brown. They're a close match, almost like you'd expect the originals looked before 35 years in the sun.

    Engine swap beaten to death....

    This is the closest to the 'have your cake and eat it too' diesel option, IMO. I'm seriously thinking about just nursing my 2F along as many years as necessary to be able to afford one for my truck.

    V8 Engine Swap Information

    So, the reason you're not finding a part list is that there isn't any one preferred way to do it, and there are a few problems to be solved which off-the-shelf parts simply don't exist for, so it's a question of custom fab work and personal taste for several key steps. Long story short, though...
