My 2UZ, 5 speed, 35” tire Pig get 15+mpgs! That’s racing it around town and cruising at 80 on the interstate. I’ve gone over 100mph with this set up easily. It’s really really fun.
My ‘01 Lexus has the immobilizer to deal with.
not sure if it has been mentioned, the cruiser 2UZs have a rear sump oil pan that is needed for a solid axle truck. If you get a Tundra engine, you have to fab/buy a oil pan and pickup $$
I cheated and bought a new wiring harness. It’s the only...

lot of chit chat for 9ish pages, but here’s my 2UZ and mini truck trans in a FJ55 build

This was a fun truck.
It needed about $5-7k more in parts that I couldn’t afford at the time.
here’s my new FJ55 build. The first 8? Pages are all 55 nerd chit chat.

Rock auto has a:
-circuit open relay
-fuel injection thermal
-ignition relay
-fuel pump cutoff switch
Not sure about the EFI relay? May have to do the Denso swap @Godwin did. Do you have the part # for that?
Thanks Mud
When it’s not started, I just had to swap vehicles at the time. Just went around wiggling wires when it was running today and it never cut off.
It cranked today and I’m at the shop getting tires put on right now.
Pics from my phone. Not much 62 dash wiring
This relay gets hot. Not sure if that’s normal or not.
It’s right next to the drivers side kick panel fuse box. Not sure if that’s where it was on the 62 or not.
Good afternoon Mudders!
My son and I just bought and drove home 2,200 miles a ‘69 FJ55 with a ‘89 3FE swapped in with no issues.

I wouldn't flip the bolts around, then you have to drop tank to remove them.
Just get bolts that are 1/2" shorter.
If there isn't any markings on the tank from precious tank/bolt contact, just leave it be. Did I miss that there is assured contact?
I like that you posted a car. Gives us background on who you are. I do the same thing when new to forums.
A wise Land Cruiser enthusiast once told me:
an FJ40 is a tractor with a body on it
an FJ60 is a tractor with a larger body and hard doors
an FJ80 is an almost modern truck with a solid...
