I have a BJ44 that is getting a 5 speed swap. I'm going to measure what I need for driveshafts, but for comparison sake, can someone measure their unmodified oem 5 speed bj46 driveshafts for me? Better yet, if someone is selling some... 😂
I'm parked for the winter, it's upgrade/maintenance season!
My 2B does fine most of the time, but I'm struggling to keep the temps under control in harsher conditions. Those situations include idling in traffic on a hot summer day with the AC on, and highway speeds when there's a very slight...
I definitely think this is the case. People say IDIs are quieter and it would make sense to me that less mechanical noise means less mechanical stress. But if the 1HDT has multi stage injection maybe that changes things (I have no idea)

Alternatively, cruiser outfitters sells a heavy duty fan clutch, as well as 15" and 16" fans. If you have a 15" you could see if the 16" fits your fan shroud.
Funny to see this come up because I happen to be working through the same situation right now. So far I can find curt 56424 is advertised as for 24 volts, but it's out of stock almost everywhere I look.
I can't really find much information, if it comes down to it I'll just try whatever...
I don't know for sure but I've been thinking this may be the case! I don't have much to add but everything you and others have said has been good food for thought.
I've seen people discuss cracked 3B heads, even for naturally aspirated engines. If this is the case, how are people getting away adding boost and such? Is head longevity simply a matter of EGTs? I would think that total volume of heat matters too (BTUs). Surely a completely stock 3B at 550 C...
I'm running 5 PSI on my 2B, haven't touched fueling. It made an improvement that I could notice, just barely. A big hill that I used to slowly lose speed on, I can now slowly gain speed. I'm not getting the best return on investment by not turning up the boost/fuel, but any improvement is...
@cruisingalong Have you seen this page? 15B-F engine in a Land Cruiser BJ42 - https://strandensgarage.wordpress.com/2011/12/18/15b-f-engine-in-a-land-cruiser-bj42/ it might be helpful
I went to rotate the crankshaft on my 2B for a valve adjustment, and realized the crankshaft pulley bolt was missing o_O Hopefully I can find another (but I borrowed one for now). It's the same part number as the 3B. Oddly the "B & 2B Engine Repair Manual" specs 145-173 ft-lb, the "B, 3B, 11B...
I would also like to snag any 1981 BJ44 diagrams if anyone has any. Other years or the BJ41 or BJ46 would also be helpful. I'm not working on anything specific right now, just want to have them for the future. Best I've got is 1 BJ42 wiring diagram, and the 1980 Land Cruiser chassis and body...
I would say make it as nice as you can while keeping it on the road. Do everything you can so that when it's time to take the body off, you only have to worry about the tub itself and the frame. I did a body off "restoration" on a CJ5, and even on such a simple vehicle it felt overwhelming to...
Does anyone wanna measure what they have and state what model it's from?
I'm getting ready to turbo a BJ44. They have really long intake tubes on the air cleaner lid (top one in picture) which doesn't work so great for me. I bought a random air cleaner lid online (from an unknown model)...
Post number 9 in this thread 3B diaphragm replacement - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/3b-diaphragm-replacement.182948/ says you can test it by sucking on the venturi line. In any case it's probably wise to replace it if it's old/original. I hope it does the trick for you, I have read high...
