    FJ40 : Question about a 5 speed conversion

    My 1979 FJ45 has factory power steering so this morning I started it up and with the stock Toyota power steering gearbox has 4 turns lock to lock. It steers fine so possibly my caster is off,

    @sogncab that is a definitive test..! It is 11:15 pm, was along day plus my miserable F$^&ing 128Mile commute and I am heading outside to the barn and start my FJ40 for this same test.

    FJ40 : Question about a 5 speed conversion

    Well, this H55f conversion is happening on the FJ45. Thanks for all of the input. Likely I will see limited off-road anymore. When I lived in Vermont, this was a weekly event. I was also a robust 22 year old. That was 48 years ago and I just enjoy the FJ40/45 like nothing I have ever driven...

    Finally getting closer to doing some more work this winter on my 1975 FJ40. I am perfectly happy with it… it is seriously flawless…I have done a bunch of stuff to return it to its stock configuration except for the Holley Sniper…..BUT, once in a while we all do stuff that is just odd and...
