    She made it. I got it done the night before my trip at 3am. I built drawers and a sleeping deck and ran it “rustic” compared to my 60. 8 days in the Oregon Cascades. No major problems.

    ok so I ran more tests. I stuck a funnel in it and burped as much air as possible. I got some huge bubbles and added maybe half a quart of coolant. Engine temp still climbed easily to 200F at idle. Here’s what’s odd: I could easily put my finger in the coolant in the funnel…. It was only...

    Thermostat is brand new, and only fits in one direction. I may just need to burp the coolant system more effectively.

    Updates: It gets hot. Temp gauge hit 210F. The sensor is at the back of the block (not factory placement) but the engine is definitely getting pretty warm. I cooled it off with a hose to the radiator. Question: I tried to burp the air but I barely got any bubbles. Thoughts on why it’s...

    Well I cant vouch for anything but their speed of service and quality of finished product. I havent tested the new injectors much. They were very fast, and they looked brand new when I received them. They gave me a breakdown of how each injector performed before and after rebuild which was nice...

    Another note: I had to trim the leading corners of the fan blades to give myself enough space between the blades and the bottom of the radiator. The cuts weren't de-burred so it looks like they're being chewed up.

    Updates: I loosed all the belts. The shrieking has stopped and the truck idles on its own and is very stable at a nice 500rpm-ish idle. The sensation of "drag" is gone. I think one of the belts was just exceptionally tight (I tested them all and they felt fine). All of the pulleys are...

    No contact. It’s close but no it doesn’t make contact.

    Three steps forward, two back. I started the engine today, but I’m really at a loss and need some help. Today I finally fired up the engine in the car for the first time. Important info: I converted the truck to 12V, glow screen isn’t hooked up, and the starter is a new manufactured non...

    To those with FJ40’s: Could anyone send me the following measurements: floor pan to bottom edge of steering wheel, dash to face of steering wheel, angle of steering column relative to the floor. Thanks guys!

    Finally. All critical mechanical tasks are done. It’s by no means polished, and no project is ever truly “done”, BUT, tomorrow I’m firing it up. Todays tasks completed: Grease all springs and tie rod ends Install Dashboard Cut long U-Bolts Tighten all trans bolts and mark Secure wires...

    Struggles continue. Coolant tube is repaired but the main water pump had a leak. Had to pull a ton of pulleys and belts and brackets but I took it off. Turned out there was a small bit of old gasket stuck to the pump. That piece was causing an uneven sealing surface. I buffed it flat...

    Major progress tonight. Repaired the coolant line, also came up with a solution for a stainless steel alternative. Also finally finished the wiring, labeling, and loom. Every single relay, fuse, and ground is now labeled. I built the harness using Star Grounding and double fusing (separate...
