@SNLC, Joe did bring this one in, and if I am correct he said it was one of the fastest FT’s he had ever driven. I believe it is actually a manual converted FTE. @joekatana?

@jmlockwood It may be possible for you to pry one of those h151s away for me… I’ll even throw in an FT sticker.

@bottombracket you are correct. I did get this engine from @joekatana. It has one of the Wink’s 4x4 Turbo’s on it.

Yes this one started life as a FTE and I bought it from Wink 4x4 after test driving it in their clapped out old 80 shop beater , it did have a giant front mounted IC on it when I drove it.

Ian, what injection pump is on that motor?

Probably one that won’t be around much longer.

@FJ73Texas I had almost forgot about this sweet Toyota bug deflector.

Beautiful rig, has flown together too it seems. Thoughts on swapping out the Indicator assemblies for the 79 ones to match that grill?

I used to have a nice later model set but sold them.

No better way there is to help protect against chips on the newly painted hood or possibly the front glass, IMHO.

A little preview of the weekend Kaymar install to come.....

Got notification that Planted has shipped the new seat brackets. I’ve decided I’m going to switch up the seats in the 77. I ordered these Scheelmann seats for my FJ62 but there just is not enough room to keep it around the house so it’s getting sold. Going to swap the seats into the 77 as the MB Rodeo cloth looks pretty sweet. No plans yet for the Scheelmann seats coming out of the 77 but I’m sure I’ll find something.

I can test and evaluate your spare Scheelman seats in a 77 FJ-40.

As you say this I’m looking over at my 78 FJ40 wondering how they might fit.....

Just did some measuring. Definitely too tall in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure they are not too tall for my troopy... just saying.
