    3B engine power

    Thanks for your input mate. That’s a nice looking setup. Are you in Australia? Also on a side note is that your fj cruiser in the profile pic?….lol I’ve got the exact same one as my daily.

    3B engine power

    Hmm it’s a tough decision…I love the nostalgia feel of it and the struggle, it makes it part of the journey. Though when on long trips it does start to get annoying especially when the truck is fully loaded with camp gear. I have another bj42 lx that I just use to cruise so I’m not fussed if I...

    3B diesel light blue/grey smoke on startup only

    Hi all, Need some advice or assistance on what can be cause of this: I’ve got a 1983 bj42 lx and I’ve taken it out for a long drive on a three day camping trip. It drove great and strong even on the high way and going up hill it pulled great, though when I started it the next morning after...

    Bj42 3b engine oil and service

    Yeah it runs fine… well from what I think, I’m just not familiar with these cars/engines to know how it should run. The injectors have all been replaced by one of the best diesel fuel guys in melb. It just idles rough when I’m at the lights waiting. Also it’s sluggish going up hill but that...

    Bj42 3b engine oil and service

    Legend!!! Thanks mate. Is there any tricks to cleaning the sedimenter? Hopefully this improves how the car runs. I still can’t work out the slight rough idle issue 🤦‍♂️.

    Bj42 3b engine oil and service

    Hi All, Im planing on servicing my Bj42Lx 3b landcruiser and was wondering if there is anything that I should change or check other than the things on a standard service. Also what engine oil should I use and I can’t seem to find how to change the gearbox/transmission oil (5speed). Sorry about...

    Fj45 engine swap recommendations

    Hi Byron…you make a good point. As for the engine..it’s running great with no leaks. I’m just not familiar with how reliable the 2f is and I do know she is a thirsty beast lol..maybe this sniper system will help. Though I think I might have to go 5speed to make freeway driving more comfortable.

    Fj45 engine swap recommendations

    Hi Greek Cruiserhead, Apologies I should remember to mention where I’m from. I’m in Australia. Hmm I might look into this sniper kit for the fuel economy. In regards to the bed, well there is a place in QLD Australia that modify the beds and sell them complete to suite the 40 series. Basically...

    Fj45 engine swap recommendations

    Hi White Stripe, yes it’s a new 79 series bed that’s been modified to fit. I waited around for a couple of years trying to find a original tub but just couldn’t find a good one and if I did find a rusted one they are selling for 3-4k Aus dollars. I didn’t want to wait around longer lol but I’d...

    Fj45 engine swap recommendations

    Hi All, Thought I’d start a convo to see what peoples thoughts are on what engine would be best to put in a fj45 to replace the 2f. I’ve just finished restoring my fj45 and about to rig it up to do some touring and im thinking about replacing the 2f for a different engine…or just keep the 2f...

    Thanks guys for the response. Fedtime, yes it smooths out when the rpm increases. I will try to increase the idle...though what rpm should it read on idle?

    BJ42LX ROUGH IDLE

    Hi All, Just got myself a Bj42Lx (3b diesel)and very happy with it though...it shakes quite a bit on idle at a red light or when rpm is low. Feels like it’s running rough and should have a little more oomph. Basically when I’m at a stand still feels like I’m in a vibrating machine lol. Your...
