conversion

Don't see that this topic has come up lately, and knowing how fast this technology is changing, I figured it was worth bringing it up again. I run 55/100W H4 bulbs in Hella e-code headlight housings, with a heavy-gauge home-brew harness. The light output is good, MUCH better than the crummy...

I'm almost ready to start my 350 with automatic transmission with air conditioner in my 1971 FJ40 Do I need to do anything to make sure it runs cool

Hello, I just converted my 1991 LJ77 OEM electric hubs to manual AVM hubs from Euro4x4. The conversion mechanically went fine, but 4WD is not engaging (front drive shaft spins when hubs are locked). Prior to conversion the dash push button Hub Lock and 4WD buttons worked fine. Now the Hub...

Hi everyone, I would like to hear from people who have converted to the LS or vortec engine. Did you regret using the H55f over the 4l60e?? have you had problems with the h55f behind the v8? I just bought a donor car and with and ls1 and the 4l60e, i was planning on using the whole GM drive...

about a 0.5 banana job on a hard day. maybe 30 minutes to install. Incredible improvement over the stock lights. I already had the separate wire loom that runs directly off the alternator (bypasses most of the stock light wiring) and the halogen bulbs... and the HID lights are no comparison...

This is a 1976 General Market (non-U.S.) FJ43. It would have come with drum brakes all around. Someone somewhere along the way converted it to disc brakes up front. Can anyone help me identify which disc brake conversion this is based on these pictures? Looks like Toyota parts to me. I'd like...

I have a lot of projects on hand and have to get rid of something. It's in really great shape west coast truck. I converted it to a 4spd 2f motor. Taken from a another fj. Runs and drives great. No rot or rust anywhere on this truck. Has 200 miles since completely rebuilding the motor. All work...

Not mine, not affiliated Very low miles, thought someone might find this interesting 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser- FJ60- 4x4- Low Miles- Nice Condition

So after hashing things out at the DMV I can finally move forward with my build. I have a 1987 FJ60 with a tired 2f engine that needs replacing. I have been slowly acquiring the parts I plan on stuffing underneath the hood and have the usual head scratching moments that come with a project of...

Has anyone done a 1VD-FTV swap on their rig? Just curious of how complex and expensive it would be. I know the 4.5L V8 D is not cheap either from looking at ebay with prices north of $10K per rebuilt engine. I am thinking the complexities will be around the following areas if I am not mistaken...

Greetings Everyone! This is my first time doing a build thread of any sort, so any pointers would be great. (I will also be happy to include additional details if I neglect any.) Anyways, we have had the intention of converting my 1975 Landcruiser from gasoline to diesel. We were waiting for a...

We purchased this vehicle (aka: Silver Surfer/Toyozu/Bruno) in March for a seven month trip around North America. It has been fun, but time to get back to work. This 1987 FJ60 Land Cruiser has an Isuzu 4bd1 diesel conversion with a Chevy Turbo. It is a great bug out vehicle, adventure mobile or...

I have a complete 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2WD 5 speed truck we bought to convert a FJ40 over with and decided I had enough projects. The truck runs and drives, has 105k V6 and is complete. It was hit hard on the passenger side door and the cab is junk but the engine drivetrain computer and...

I have a '76 BJ40. Someone wired the two batteries in series instead of parallel and may have fried the starter, glow plugs, and many other things. Before I sink a lot of $$ into fixing it, I am wondering about whether I should go ahead and convert it with a small block Vortec. I know the...

the 1UZ-FE engine trans I have is from a 1992 LS-400. It has a front sump oil pan. The engine was pulled with 112,000 miles on the clock. What is included is engine, trans, engine harness, ECU, and TCU. It was going to go into a project but I ended up selling it and don't have any other plans...

Hi everyone. I just rebuilded my stock B engine and was wondering about installa turbo to add some extra power to my rig. I already purchased a new intercooler from a Volvo 740 and an oil cooler from Ford truck (F250 I think) in order to keep temp low possible.same guy who sold me the...

I'm weighing the options between a 350 conversion and going cheaper and doing a rebuilt 2F. I'm going for cost savings over performance, but performance is nice at the right price. I don't care about getting 10 miles per gallon. I just want my rig to run well. Any suggestions out there from...

Everything you need to convert your 80 series from AWD to 4x4 except the centre diff lock switch. The switch can be bought from Toyota, I think it's about $80 Can. The centre diff lock switch becomes your 4x4 on/off control along with the manual locking hubs. I got too distracted with other...
