    3.4 in 40

    Cost Regarding cost - I dont think it would that bad. You can find takeouts with low miles for less than $1,500, which includes tranny and transfer. You would have to center the rear axle (or not depending on DS length and angles), but besides that, and wiring, it would be similiar to any...

    3.4 in 40

    There is a lot of misinformation in this thread. I have been an advocate of a 5VZ swap for quite some time – but I know it’s a lonely road since nobody seems to like the idea. I am not at all against a 350, I am personally thinking of one myself, but if you honestly look at the 5VZ it makes a...

    H41 or H42..

    Your all bassackwards poser. If your engine RPM was increased, like your saying, you would have an overdrive.

    H41 or H42..

    Exactly - for every 1 rotation your get .2 at the output (1/4.9).

    Toyota 4 Cylinder TURBO diesel Advice

    VW Diesel I think you would be better served by going with a VW engine, either the 1.6TD or 1.9TD, both mech. injected with minimal wiring and both very reliable. Relatively easy to find on craigslist and I would think enough power for a buggy/crawler. I am all for Toy. diesels, but the VW...

    Does size matter?

    Minipigg, Sounds like you understand the logistics of swapping in an engine, could you humor me with some of the technical challenges of doing so? You mention the VAGCOM repro. kit, that completely eliminates the EGR, but you would still need to run the ECM or can you switch to a mech. system...

    Does size matter?

    For a tranny I would go with a R150/R151 since there are already adapters out there to mate the TDI to it. ACME ADAPTERS Suzuki Samurai Turbo Diesel Maybe find yourself a R series tranny that was originally mated up to the split case so you can retain your offset rear axle and dont have to...

    Does size matter?

    MiniPigg, I reference to the Pinz in your avatar - they put the VW 2.5L TDI in the new ones, which is just the 5 cyl version of the 2.0. If it can haul around a 6x6 fully locked pinz (which are rated at what, 2+ tons?) with 10+ guys and gear over an Austrian pass I dont see why the 2.0 would...

    Educate me on 1996 & up 4Runners and Tacomas.

    Manual hubs can be retrofitted on the newer rigs without to much hassle - not sure when they stopped using them OEM. Manual hubs have benefits - and drawbacks. Most guys consider the auto hubs to be a stronger design and if you do break one they are supposed to be easier to field repair.

    78 Series Tourer

    Might think about turning that high-lift the other way, I can see that handle jarring loose getting caught on the ground and either A) shearing off your bolts or B) ripping you bumper off and/or bending your frame horns. At least if the handle is up and it does come loose, it wont cause problems.

    Well said.

    Cummins B3.3 FJ45

    Another thing Another thing to consider: If to Toyota had access to an engine similiar to B3.3 when they orignally manuf. the rig, would they had used it?:hhmm: I would guess so. If you do go through with the swap, you may be ruining it for the purists, BUT your keeping the...

    Cummins B3.3 FJ45

    Whats your take about the longevity of the 700R4 behind the 3.3? Are you going to do a custom adapter from 3.3 to H55 - or dual adapters, phx to chevy the Marks/AA to H55?

    Cummins B3.3 FJ45

    Estimate I have ran the numbers - a new H55/split case, with driveline mods, adapters and the whole shabang your looking at at least $10+ easy. I think the cheapest route, by my calcs, would be a 700R4, stock t-case and stock gears. Your still going to need the Phx. adapter to b3.3 and the...

    Cummins B3.3 FJ45

    Nice setup A big thanks to Scott for taking a couple hours out of his Sunday afternoon to show me his rig. Scott has pretty much summed up most of the questions here and I agree with everything he has said. Generally speaking, here are the big questions I had. Noise– It is not a Lexus...

    Building for Alaska/ TransCanada Adventure

    Sounds like a really cool trip! BUT - you are not crossing a unimproved jungle two track in the amazon, I would ditch the 'hardcore' items unless you really think your going to need them. Winch/pullpal - overkill unless your going to be getting into some gnarly situations, just adds weight...

    Cummins B3.3 FJ45

    Nice job btw. What are you guys doing for a governor, are those engines not set up for industrial applications for constant rpm use? Any other mods needed to make it auto friendly? I make the assumption its a no go without overdrive - can the governor be modified for higher RPM? How...

    255/85 R16 BF Goodrich Mud/split rims

    I asked the fella's at Schwabs here in Oregon if they would do the split rims and they said it wasn't a problem at, they do quite a few and that they were very safe. The older 'widowmaker' split wheels are the dangerous ones to stay away from - they don't touch those.

    PTO vs Electric

    Winching power is tied to shear pin strength - no? Dont know if that could be upgraded - probably not a good idea since it was sized specifically by Toyota for a reason.
