swap

I am not a huge writer, so I'll be short, I have had my components for a while, just waiting for the time to do it, and then my son tells me Dad, I need a senior project, of something I am interested in ( he makes knives and likes them, but the school would not allow this) I told him Ok we can...

I am looking to improve my rig by upgrading my stock 3-speed tranny. I have looked at the 5-speed option, but it gets very expensive with all that is needed. Have read a lot that the 4-speed makes the FJ40 a nicer daily driver. Besides getting the H41 4-speed transmission and bell house, what...

Need help on how to do this. I have had lots of trouble with aftermarket 89620-14410/ igniter. $200.00 aud a time. They seem to get cooked then die. I have a heatsink fitted to it now and moved the position to one with better airflow. I would like to change it out if possible as 89620-14410 are...

What sort of fuel tank prep did you perform for your gas to diesel conversions? Did you go with a new tank or clean/prep your old tank?

Hey all, I've got a line on a 93 Cruiser with e-lockers for about $2.5k. It has a bunch of other parts I'm interested in grabbing for my current rig - a 97 Cruiser, so I'm not considering this price for the lockers alone. For the fairly light trails I do a few times per year, there is no...

i sourced everything unneeded to convert my 62 to a manual... 4spd long tail trans, transfer case, trans mounts, peddle bucket, trans hump plate, slave and master plus lines, drive shafts... everything thing is here PLUS the 1985 engine I decided to rebuild my auto instead. $1800 takes it all...

My 77 Fj45 has an SM420 transmission and I've bought a H42 to swap back into it as the 420 is in bad shape. Does anyone have insight on modifications that would have been done to get the Chevy trans in there? Or could the h42 be bolted back it into the housing and go from there? Thanks in advance!

I have a 93 FZJ80 and I want to drop a 6bt in it. I live in WA and I do not have any room to do it myself. Before calling around and embarrassing myself what can I expect to pay for something like this? I can maybe find a garage at a friends if the price of labor is too high, but I would rather...

Hey everyone, I'd like to get an ad in Toyota Trails for our swap meet September 23rd. We can get a half page ad free for the next 3 issues but I need to get it in within the next 2 weeks. As long as we can get someone to commit to doing this I'll ask Stan to reserve a spot for us. Please...

After requested, I decided to post up a build of a double Axle swap on a LX470. It was an incredible amount of work. Would be a shame to not post up the documentation of the build. If I died tomorrow with the info, nobody would know what was involved. Here is a picture of it finished below. ABS...

Is it possible to swap the push-button out for a rotary knob of some sort? Strange question perhaps, but there is a valid reason. This morning the wife managed to hit the button and called me a couple miles from the house saying the tires were squealing when she went around corners and turned...

Lets rule out the cost of engine. What are you guys spending to complete a 1HDT ? I have a friend who is willing to ship me motor + trans from Ireland if I buy the rig. But I know all of the extras are what eat you up budget wise. So lets hear it. Or what all should I have shipped with it ? I...

Hello all, I'm preparing to do a body swap on my 1982 BJ60 with another 82 BJ60 which has been stripped down, sanded, and pretty much ready for paint. I've been told the actual swap is relatively easy and I have access to a shop with a lift, but I was wondering if there is a good thread within...

As we are progressing with installation of OM613 3.2 CDI Mercedes into FZJ 80. I am gauging interest on adapter kits for OM 611/612/613 and 648 engines to drop into family of TLCs and Runners. As these family of the engines are the same, only difference on number of cylinders and displacement...

I'm dropping a 24V 13B-T in a '77 BJ40 and need to get my hands on some 12V parts. Looking for... 12V vacuum switch for shutdown Alternator Intake heater & timer Starter (maybe just the motor?) 12V tachometer sensor Anyone have anything lying around that I could buy to get this engine dressed...

Ever since I bought my 97 40th anniversary she has had a knock in the engine. I have been amazed how reliable these engines are. In my home country (Colombia) there is a saying that says "Toyota es Toyota" or in English "Toyota is Toyota" It can be interpreted that Toyota is what it is the best...

Hi all, I though I'd share my build thread over here with the Mudders. Full build thread here: anothernord's JDM 1KZ-TE diesel swap (2001 Tacoma 3.4) I've always thought it would be cool to have a small displacement diesel in my truck. So I decided to do it. Diesel Toys charges $20,000 for...

Alright, I know I want a 5-speed. I want to go on road trips and not worry about it sitting in 4th gear for over 5 hours. I currently have the original 4-speed with a TBI swap in my cruiser I bought in November. One year from now I want to at least bought a 5-speed from one of the sites that...
