Cam's FJ60 Gets a Heart Transplant

Put it in 4wd then race

I've done a wiper job before, if you need guidance.

I got it back

I like the guy's work. Nice layout, good crafts ship, and no flux core at this shop.

I went with a 50 series. If anything, it's a little loud while cruising, not loud enough when you get on it.

It's too wet to give 'er hell right now. But it gets up to speed EASILY.

It's an entirely different animal now. It might take me a while to wrap my head around its differences. Plus I haven't driven it in a long time.

(Chris, I went straight to the wiper shop when I left the exhaust place)

I recognize that neighborhood.

Shady Grove and Sweetbriar?

Yessir. Over by Uncle Fred's compound.

 

[MScruiser]

Nice area.

I grew up in G'town.

Your's sounds like my 40 now. Mine had a Magnaflo though.

Brown is holding my front DS hostage with the weather. Hopefully it goes in with no issues. It's a tight fit with the 4L60 pan.

It might be hammertime.

Sweet! Mines much more civilized sounding.

I grew up over in the OG section of G'town. (Olde Germanton. English Meadows, dawg.)

 

[MScruiser]

Oh hell yeah. My sister lives there. I grew up around Riverdale Elementary (i.e. Miller Farms)

 

[FJ60Cam]

:fist bump:

My parents still live there, just on the other side of the tracks. I work in the Poplar & Kirby/Massey area.

Great work Cam! So jealous.

 

[FJ60Cam]

Great work Cam! So jealous.

Thanks! I'm a little jealous of myself!

The more I drive it the more I'm lovin' it!

 

[tcb]

Have you done any donuts yet?

 

[cruiser enthuiser]

Sounds mean!

Maybe I missed it, but what are you doing for a tach?

 

[FJ60Cam]

I was going to go aftermarket, but now I'm thinking of modding the stock one to work.

If I know what it is doing up to 4K, I'm cool with that.

But I very well could go aftermarket if I can't get it to work.

 

[FJ60Cam]

Have you done any donuts yet?

No, but since it's raining 24/7 right now, it's peel-out city.

 

[MEMCruiser]

Pitt Hyde and Fred Smith are going to send their corporate security guys after you.
I was at Kroger in E. Memphis today....I think I heard you.

 

[FJ60Cam]

Here's a few exhaust shots. I'm running dual 2-1/4" into a Flowmaster 50-something with a single 3" outlet.

Getting the passenger side over to the drivers...

I bought some nice flanges and copper gaskets from Columbia River Mandrel Bending so I can take the mid-pipes out if I need too.

I had him tuck the tailpipe up as high as possible and dump it out where I won't crush it. I've always crushed it when it comes out under the quarter panel.

It's probably a little noisier dumping out like this, but I think it's a good compromise. I'm totally happy with his work.

Looks like its ready to tackle GSMTR 15!!

 

[Bomar]

That dude did a good job. Can't wait to see it.
