swap

Decided to replace the steering column in my 92 (had to replace upper bracket for ignition and thought replacing the whole shaft would be faster then messing with the tamper proof fasteners that retain the bracket) the donor column came from a 94. Problem is the spindle for the Upper shaft that...

Considering selling my fj40 om606 swap project, I started piecing this together while everything was shut for Covid and got all the main pieces together and then things got back to normal and I haven’t had time to finish it. It is a mix of a 70 and 68 fj40 body parts with a later 4 speed...

Is anyone importing complete 1VD-FTE (single or twin turbo) engines for swaps? Is there a recommended source from which to import complete engines, perhaps from Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, Easter Island, or Liechtenstein? I want to replace the awesome, but old, frail, rare, and...

Swapping the knuckle and spindle from a 1981 mini truck onto my 1972. First, I am using the spindle from the 1981, so that isn't the problem. I have in this order, knuckle, spindle, brake spacer (rather than the dust shield), gold shield. Using vented rotors. I know the wheel bearing traces...

OK, short story long. I wanted to replace leaking 2uz VVTI cam seals, they were making a mess. I got the parts, watched the video, and thumbed through the FSM. I DID NOT want to replace the water pump and all the goodies because it had already been done 40k ago (documented). And yes I should...

I have the C59-535 coils installed but gave me more lift than I was planning on. Would like to swap for the c59-559V if anyone is interested. Or purchase if anyone’s pulled any off. Located in Austin, TX.

I'm about to swap actuators from one transfer case to another. Any tricks for removal (like it needs to be in the locked position or anything)? And what does this FSM instruction mean in practical terms?

Hello everyone! Are all 80 series front/rear axles using the same gear ratios for the ring and pinions? I have a 1994 and looking to swap a 1996 rear axle into it. Also would the 1996 rear axle be a direct swap bolt in? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance

I am tearing down and rebuilding my front axle. I am upgrading hubs to IFS hubs. I plan to use frontrange caliper bracket (that is if they ever answer the phone). With that said, which year and model brake calipers are some of you guys using? Thank you

We have a 94 FZJ80 with a bad motor and a used motor out of a 97 based on what the VIN tells me, it came with the truck. I have seen some other threads saying there are differences between the two. The 97 motor we are planning on putting in does not have any accessories or intake on it, I was...

Is there one this year? Admittedly I have been absent from meetings, etc

So Im well into swapping the (bent) frame from under my '97 TLC, and I'm contemplating the way to attack the engine/trans/xfer assembly move. Does anyone have a fairly high confidence weight for the whole thing? I need to determine if my hoist and/or my tractor is capable of safely hoisting...

Hi all, This may be a long shot, PO had this custom built. I had it on the car before I disassembled everything so I know it fits well. It’s stock roll cage plus the front piece, it’s done well. I’m however looking to install just the stock roll cage (without the front piece). So before I cut...

Just seeing what's out there. considering swapping out my stock 3.70 gears on my 1985 fj60 for some 62 gears. If anyone wants a set of 3.70 gears, maybe we could trade also (not sure how easy that would be but...) cheers, Joel

Picked up this LX450 several months ago. Also just picked up this van with an L96 and 6l90. Hope to eventually swap the drivetrain in the van into the LX. Just started driving it and realized how slow and sluggish it is. Figured id start a thread just in case. Hopefully I'm doing this right.

I'm getting up there in mileage in hot Texas...I'm considering changing the MAF and buying a new OEM one. My truck idled kind of weird while in bumper-bumper (it was 105F+) for almost 2 hours...would kind of like to swap it just to be sure. No dash lights... Has anyone done this and how...

I've got a 1994 KZJ78 with chrome, electric outside mirrors. The chrome is pretty beat up and I'm contemplating replacing them or painting them black, I understand painting over chrome is less than ideal. While searching for replacements, I noticed that the VDJ78/FZJ78/VDJ79 mirrors (part...

I have a 1993 HDJ81 Imported from Japan with a 1HDT 4.2L turbo diesel. Running 33 inch tires on the 16 inch wheels. Axle gear ratio I believe is 4.11. Thinking about running 4.88 or 5.13s to help with the turbo lag that is present from a dead stop to acceleration. Seems like the turbo kicks in...

Hello! I've been rapid fire collecting brown interior parts the last couple weeks. While I've been on the mend from a hernia surgery a couple Mondays ago (aug 21). My Doctor gave me the go ahead to get up to some mischief today. As long as there is no heavy stuff involved. SO, I tore apart...

Got a brake booster that I bought from a mud member a few years ago. During my engine swap I upgraded the booster to a PDI one so I no.longer need this one. Diaphragm is in great shape, supple with no sign of tearing. Check valve is good too, replaced with a new one 20k ago. $150 buyer pays...
