Hey y’all so I am adding my name to the list of envious fools who made the best bad decision ever documented on this forum. I started this build in late August and worked on it up until I had to put a hold on it until I get home in April. So at this time the major parts are in and I am at the...

Hey Guys i'm interested in getting an 40 series but I want it to be a bit more functional for daily driving and the occasional offloading/camping as well as be able to tow an 18ft fishing boat. I've been seriously considering many options of various price points and difficulty levels. I have...

I just bought my first FJ40 1972, 4x4 manual and I want to keep it 4x4 manual. I got this engine from a friend who owns a shop out of a 2018 Corvette Stingray with 15k miles on it, rear engine fire. EXACT ENGINE: 6.2L https://www.chevrolet.com/performance/crate-engines/lt1-wet-sump My FJ40...

Hi guys, my name is Joe (long time lurker, first time poster). A little less than a year ago I bought a 1987 FJ60. This thing was an interesting specimen. No carpet but also no rust as there was 30 years worth of road grime keeping the chassis nice and safe! The initial idea for the truck was to...

Finally time to upgrade my fuel system on my ‘74 40. Bought the overpriced man-a-fre auxiliary 21 gal tank to feed 5.7 LS recently installed. Fill neck suggestions? Anyone have experience with this system? Planning on removing the under seat tank altogether. Tips and tricks? Thx!

Hello all, I figured I would take a few moments to lay out what I have been up to since my Rug Road knuckle stud debacle. I bought my 1997 LX450 Easter weekend in 2017. I had a 2000 100 series before and regretted selling it from day one. I knew I wanted another, but thought the 80 series...

Hello all, I have lurked on these forums for years. Have done my fair share of wheeling and have a lifted 99' limited on 35s. Before anyone directs me to the search bar; I have SCOWERED the internet for months on the info Im about to provide. OK :) So long story short, this runner was sunk...

I know that the virtues of both powertrains have been discussed ad nauseum and I understand the pros and cons to both. What I was hoping to hear from people is how they feel that the character of the truck changed after going from the 2f to the LS? In particular, part of the fun of driving one...

Dont get too excited, I'm on a fact finding and recommendation mission. I am a looong way from being ready to move forward with the actual install, but I figured I should start to formulate a game plan. There is not a lot of info on installing V8's into LV's. Jonathan Ward, of course being the...

Hey Guys. Some of you may remember or be familiar with my FJ62 that I picked up just over two years ago. I picked it up as a stock truck, and really enjoyed turning it into something of my own. We had some ups and downs, with it getting stolen last spring... It was recovered, but missing a...

I have had this FJ62 for over three years and it was a "total transformative project" going beyond any FJ62 I had ever seen. Unfortunately, I have to make room in the garage, so its now time to send it on down the road for another owner to enjoy. The truck had 146K~ miles on the clock when I...

Hey Mudders, I am in conundrum, or something. I want to keep my 60 since I have around 11k in it and there's no way I'm getting that out. But I hate it's slow useless motor, and the frame is rusted through in the center. I have a new rust-free and freshly powdercoated frame waiting to drop under...

The build thread is long overdue so I thought I'd try and get yall caught up. This project started in 2015 with a 1972 GMC C10. My brother and I are GM guys at heart but love pretty much anything with an internal combustion engine and at least two wheels. We've owned/built quite a few late...

Prefer to trade for 1fz supercharger kit but will sell outright. Here's what I have collected. I have marks adapter on back of a fresh rebuilt 4l60 with new tq convertor out of a hummer h3 alpha which housing helps clear front driveshaft. Full and complete stripped wiring harness and ecu...

Has anyone seen anyone with an LS (Ls2,ls3,ls1) swap Land Cruiser 100 or if it's even possible? I've searched everywhere and have only seen 80 series and before. I have a 99 LC with 4 speed auto, it's a great SUV but it's a turd. I know it's not a performance truck, but was just Curious if...

Starting my build thread on my LS swapped 80's series. This truck was purchased new by my father back in 1993 and was passed down to me when I began driving. Since then, I've absolutely fallen in love with the truck and made an extensive number of modifications including: ARB bull bar/winch...
