I’m selling my 83 FJ60, the truck came from OK, it’s very solid, it has many new parts, the previous owner updated the power train with a factory five speed, he purchased a 25k mile engine and transfer case from a total in Dallas then added the new 5-speed, he said it has ~68k miles on the...
I have a very nice solid 71 that I’ve decided to sell, I’ve invested around 33k in it, it was restored in Dallas by the previous owner in 04. It won the show at CCOT then was stored since 05 in a hanger until I bought it two Thanksgivings ago. I installed a new fuel system, rebuilt the...
Onur, you are so very sharp!!!!!! Cam and I were educated on the fact that we got the wrong part, standard size pistons as you noted with 0.5 over rings so back to the parts ordering gig. It’s a shame you retired all that knowledge that CDan and all your other life experiences have burned into...
Sorry Onur, haven’t been checking in enough lately. Cam an I noticed that the 0.5mm oversized pistons were value priced and my block could have gone standard. We just wanted to put new pistons and rings in it with a new bore planned for stock compression and Wits End Turbo action. We really...
David, it all costs money and time. It’s worth it if you enjoy the journey but not if you don’t. The engine parts were very reasonable in this particular size with PartSouq. That made my decision to go ahead and rebuild my original block back to new spec instead of running it as a clean 168k...
Well, PartSouq did their job but the order got flagged by customs through FedEx and held due to “lack of description of content” so by the time you spend a half day filling out customs forms and dealing with FedEx maybe it’s worth a little more coin to buy in the US. They did have some items...
So, let’s bring the 80 tech back to the top! I don’t know many of you personally but let me just say that I’m a fool for wrenching, not much of a wheeler but enjoy the revitalization of an old truck or tractor! My son and I are doing just that on a couple of 97s.
I have in fact enlisted Cam and...
Sorry Onur, I just now checked in. I’m assuming you mean the new head. I was trying to start with a new Toyota long block, this was as close as I could get. My original 168k long block had an oil-only head gasket leak. I had the head rebuilt and it looks new. Had to deck it 3 tenths only to make...
I’m very happy with the Wits End Turbo development. I have two 40ths in antique sage that are e-locked. Thanks @Bossman for sharing the set of locked axles. The Turbo kit was developed in the absence of the TRD supercharger kit to be able to go onto a stock setup and provide reliable CARB...
Your the social chairman, and creative art genius of Cottonland. You’ve helped me on a few builds with your posts and “phone” consults. You don’t owe me anything! I was in good company. But keep the group churning with that high energy please sir. Of, course I’d always enjoy some good cruiser...
