    1fz-fe Refurb Engine Install Advice (what else to do while in there?)

    Are you speaking specifically of a dedicated intercooler or increased cool airflow under the hood / airbox? Have been wanting to add a snorkel to aid in temp drops and increase air into the airbox. No firm plans at this point, but I'm sure that will come. The more I do on this project...

    Hey LCDOC, Did you stop by the shop and see my girl? The supercharger came with a new fan. Are you suggesting an even better unit?

    My mistake, I intended to only type 'head', rather than 'header' when referring the short block alternative. OCD, well I can agree with you on that observation for this specific project. Getting a more accurate comparison for the V8 swap is indeed one of my intents. I'll reach out to Beno...

    I'll get the details on the refurbed engine on Monday. He stated it was all Toyota parts used in the rebuild, but I do have my doubts. If I could source a new short block for about the same price, what is left to add besides headers (valve covers, timing cover, oil pump, oil pan)? I have...

    1fz-fe Refurb Engine Install Advice (what else to do while in there?)

    So far, I have added these to the list based on on-line pricing that I'm not sure my dealer will match (could add 25%): Fuel pump - $258 Stabilizers (2 * $22) = $44 Power Steering pump = $300 Alternator = $200 Break booster = $545 Rear AC Line = $90 ... another $1450 (or dealer will likely...

    1fz-fe Refurb Engine Install Advice (what else to do while in there?)

    Been doing some soul searching after regaining possession of my 95 FZJ. My girl was taken by flatbed to a local dealer with highly skill LC wrench. Upon inspection, as feared, the engine needs replaced (the previous short term owner ran the poor girl with absolutely no oil). The service...

    Wrapping the Rig - Before and ...

    I was quoted over 2k for the paint supplies alone. I was up in the air on a $1500 dip or the wrap. If the cost went any hire I would have searched for a clean 40th anniversary that was already sorted and sold my girl for parts (but she has served me so well, I wanted her to stay in the family...

    My wife let me sell her LX570, so making this rig "acceptable" to her to drive for the cost of the wrap still leaves me in the clear. With the extra cash from the LX570 sale I was able to purchase a real tow vehicle for our work in progress 1975 25' Airstream (1999 F350 Dually 7.3L Turbo...

    Wrapping the Rig - Before and ...

    I did in fact wet sand the entire rig. I attempted my painting skills on the reclaimed fender and hood. After three self paint attempts, I realized I should cut my losses and turn the project over to a pro. Prior to the wrap I had a few dent pulled and primmer applied to leave no metal...

    Wrapping the Rig - Before and ...

    Very painful outcome in the game, but an amazing display of goalkeeping. For wraps range from 3-4k, 5+ years life (the key is not leave the rig cooking in the sun), no issue with the rust unless visible punctures made into the material. This is not the best option if you want to power wash...

    Wrapping the Rig - Before and ...

    It is killing me to not see it yet in person, but the pictures have me floored. You can get 5+ years out of a wrap and if cared for you can get more. My price was south of $4000, but only by 15%. The cost of a good paint job left me at the point that I was better off buying another rig and...

    My 95 LC finally made it to the point that I needed to take action. The once pristine black exterior had been updated to include a mildly dented silver hood, a green fender, miss matched mirrors and general road/trail rash. The good news is that all the damage was caused by the old girl saving...
