You guys don’t mess around! How much weight does that add to the front?
In for the stopping and going configuration - the change from glow plugs to glow screen, and the fuel shut off change from EDIC to vacuum and flapper. This is what I need to do with my BJ70 3B to 13B-T swap.
I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time when Roma @roma042987 and Bill @bkcruiser went to visit Galen @bottombracket. We had a great time talking Land Cruisers and brainstorming some ideas on how to make these builds a little better. Great group of people and I am lucky to know them.

Roma is also in the middle of a 15BF swap on one of his 40's so we have been sharing learned experiences to make this better. Roma is way ahead of me, so it is me mostly stealing his great ideas and including them onto my project. Below is Roma's build, just in case you are not following him already:

Bill @bkcruiser has been doing a lot of work on my BJ42. More of that to come...
The 4-bolts supporting the steering box are just temporary. The correct bolts are on order, but not here yet.
Bill @bkcruiser is like McGyver for sure, but perhaps more badass since he is a real-life action figureBill is f***ing MacGyver. He can make anything fit together.
That said, the hardware for the steering gear box to frame is NOT OEM, Alberto. Chop, chop.
