    who's installed an all aluminum tub?

    one thing that pissed me off with my gen II, sure the bolts and washers are stainless but the nuts aren't, so every nut is coated in rust and i don't even drive it in the winter. maybe been on there 3 years now

    how big is too big

    that old body looks just like my old one , a bunch of fiberglass and sheet metal patches and about 50% of the original metal. it took about 6 small cuts with the grinder and the tub basically fell off in 4 peices. must be a Britsh Columbian thing.

    the tranny should be an nv3500. not the best for a cruiser IMO.

    Top Speed in a 40 ?

    even with 35s and 3.73s, my 76 sounds like its gonna explode at 50 mph on the speedo (thats like 60mph corrected) and i tried passing a car once and will never do it again. plus my alloy tub gets really hot after some highway miles in the summer

    aluminium tub experience

    aqualu gives you some goo to put between the firewall and the new tub (sikoflex?). you'll need a special primer for the paint if you didn't already know. if you need more info you can PM me, i've done a couple.

    FJ40 Squat

    my procomp springs are stiff as a board and my 3.5" wider aluminum fenders allow my 35 12.50's on 15x10 rims with 3.25" back spacing to fit. i cut the rear wells as much as a could but they still rub a bit in the back.

    Found a FJ45 trying to determine value

    hey riddler, are you tall? i'm 6'4" and had to sell my 45 because of lack of leg room . it was one of these "i can't past this up" kinda deals that turned into an undriveable waste of money.

    i have the chance to buy a 1988 chev 1/2 ton 2wd van with a tbi 350 and a th350 (i guess?) will these fit in my 76 fj40 or do i need a 4x4 tranny? if it will fit, what adapter should i get for the tcase? what about motor mounts and tranny support. i like cheap. also i only have a 2.5" lift so...
