what i want:
i am looking for an all around vehicle that i can go anywhere with, this means on road as well. i have a 2h in my cruiser already but on the highway with 5.29s auto and 35s its just an old tired dog...i want to be able to merge into highway traffic safely, get upto 100kpm in less then 2 minutes and be able to cruise at 120kpm. im not bashing the 2h, but its not cutting it for me anymore on road; off-road it was a beast, tons of low end grunt, it was unstoppable, reliable and i could depend on it to take me there and back.
what i got:
if you want to find out about my truck check out my rotm:
https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/383259-lost-cruiser-hotel-toyota-rotm.html
basically its a fj62, with 2h, 24volt and soa axle + a couple other goodies. ive been somewhat a toyota purist, my truck has been all toyota but thats getting thrown out the window.
i bought a 98 dodge ram 24v cummins nv4500 4x4 a couple weeks ago. the body was completely rotted but the motor sounded good and the transmission shifted nice.
What i am going to do:
the plan is to use the whole drive train (motor, trans, tcase, axles (dana60 front dana 80 rear(posilocked)&drive shafts). im also going to use the hydroboost and put it all in my cruiser. this is going to require to convert the truck back to 12volt. i may buy a parts truck for this. there is also a couple rust spots that need to be addressed.
