    FJ40 12HT Swap & 60 Series Axles

    She made it. I got it done the night before my trip at 3am. I built drawers and a sleeping deck and ran it “rustic” compared to my 60. 8 days in the Oregon Cascades. No major problems.

    Pulled the thermostat. Brand new Toyota part. No change between room temp and boiling water.

    ok so I ran more tests. I stuck a funnel in it and burped as much air as possible. I got some huge bubbles and added maybe half a quart of coolant. Engine temp still climbed easily to 200F at idle. Here’s what’s odd: I could easily put my finger in the coolant in the funnel…. It was only...

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Finally finished my 12HT swap, body off, axle swap etc. Drove the 69 for the first time in 21 years!

    Thermostat is brand new, and only fits in one direction. I may just need to burp the coolant system more effectively.

    FJ40 12HT Swap & 60 Series Axles

    Updates: It gets hot. Temp gauge hit 210F. The sensor is at the back of the block (not factory placement) but the engine is definitely getting pretty warm. I cooled it off with a hose to the radiator. Question: I tried to burp the air but I barely got any bubbles. Thoughts on why it’s...

    Well I cant vouch for anything but their speed of service and quality of finished product. I havent tested the new injectors much. They were very fast, and they looked brand new when I received them. They gave me a breakdown of how each injector performed before and after rebuild which was nice...

    Another note: I had to trim the leading corners of the fan blades to give myself enough space between the blades and the bottom of the radiator. The cuts weren't de-burred so it looks like they're being chewed up.

    Updates: I loosed all the belts. The shrieking has stopped and the truck idles on its own and is very stable at a nice 500rpm-ish idle. The sensation of "drag" is gone. I think one of the belts was just exceptionally tight (I tested them all and they felt fine). All of the pulleys are...

    No contact. It’s close but no it doesn’t make contact.

    Three steps forward, two back. I started the engine today, but I’m really at a loss and need some help. Today I finally fired up the engine in the car for the first time. Important info: I converted the truck to 12V, glow screen isn’t hooked up, and the starter is a new manufactured non...

    To those with FJ40’s: Could anyone send me the following measurements: floor pan to bottom edge of steering wheel, dash to face of steering wheel, angle of steering column relative to the floor. Thanks guys!

    Finally. All critical mechanical tasks are done. It’s by no means polished, and no project is ever truly “done”, BUT, tomorrow I’m firing it up. Todays tasks completed: Grease all springs and tie rod ends Install Dashboard Cut long U-Bolts Tighten all trans bolts and mark Secure wires...

    Another night until 2am. Made huge progress. -Pulled the pulleys, belts and leaking water pump -Found an old piece of gasket under the pump that was making the surface uneven -New gasket and a touch of Dirko sealant and it doesn’t leak anymore. -Re-assembled all engine components and made...

    Struggles continue. Coolant tube is repaired but the main water pump had a leak. Had to pull a ton of pulleys and belts and brackets but I took it off. Turned out there was a small bit of old gasket stuck to the pump. That piece was causing an uneven sealing surface. I buffed it flat...
