Free to good home. I believe it was made by Smittybuilt. I put an OEM roll bar in mine years ago and it’s been taking up space ever since.
I’m in Reno, pick up only.

Agree with you about getting different answers depending on who you talk to down there. This has been my previous experience with them also.
It was always my plan with the Vortec to do an emissions legal swap. I have long believed NV emissions laws will eventually come to mirror California's...
Bumping this old thread again.
I'm just starting an engine swap for my '84 FJ60 so I reached out to the Emissions Lab at the local DMV for an update on laws and policies. The guy I dealt with (Jon) was very helpful and shared, what I think is, good news. It might be helpful for someone else...
That is basically what I understood.
Classic Vehicle: 25 years or older, UNMODIFIED, 5k or less/yr
Classic Rod: 20 years or older, mods OK, 5k or less/yr
I've no experience with this particular issue. Just had to chime in and say isn't great driving an old truck! Recently began driving my 60 to work daily. Almost immediately the tcase began leaking like a siv where it used to be just a drip. It's leaking in so many places I believe I will...
Here's an update on my inquiries with the DMV regarding engine swaps. I have spoken with the emissions lab on the phone again and corresponded with a lady named Debbie Shope. I am posting the correspondence for those that may be interested.
My email to DMV:
Dear Mr. Dillard,
I am...
Well, I would certainly be willing to email. The more reading I do on this subject I can't believe how unfriendly our county is towards engine conversions. This is the same place that hosts Hot Augusts Nights, right? If our state is using EPA guidelines to set policy then I found this...
Thanks for the responses guys. Dan, that's helpful info and thanks for posting it. i have been trying to navigate the DMV website with little success trying, like you, to find some kind of official law/policy. It's very worrying to me that the whole process does seems so absolutely arbitrary...
I'm bringing back this thread in the hope that you guys can share your wisdom.
I am really interested in bringing my 82 FJ60 back to life ( blown head gasket and general neglect). I have a lead on an Isuzu 4bd2t set up that would be amazing, but how to make it legal in Washoe County?
I...
X2 on Oreileys. They will scan it for free at the store.
I bought this one from Amazon for $20: http://www.amazon.com/Autel-MaxiScan-MS300-Diagnostic-Vehicles/dp/B001LHVOVK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360645974&sr=8-1&keywords=obd+ii+scanner
It works pretty good for just reading codes and was...
Hey Fellas...hope you don't mind if I share too. Sorry to hear about your debacle Jack, I'm feeling ya. I've had frustration lately with my 40. It runs good with the TBI going now, in fact it runs like a whipped dog. I love driving it, even if the steering is sloppy as hell! I decided several...
That sucks.
No worries. I'm not in a big hurry unless you are, but I'm definetely interested. I guess all I really want to know is if they are the welded or rivited (sp?) type rims...or maybe you have a mix of both? Otherwise I'm assuming they're restorable with some sandblasting and paint.
I thought this might be fun for you local guys to see. My 12 year old boy and I did some light wheelin today up behind our house. Just got the 40 up and going again after doing a TBI conversion on the SBC 350. To wrap up my thread on the conversion I posted this video but thought I should post...
