Well the FJ62 pulled the Safari out of the sand a few times

Will grab some more video from the desert... but what a crusier.... smooth and quick. Pulled a car or two out of sand with it too....

Nice to see the weight swap so clean in the the motor bay..... 63 kWH fit well leaving and easy smaller battery enclosure to tuck up under the rear nicely for a 73 kWh FJ40......

whats the weight of that stack ? Is this the 40 using the Tesla motor ? How does the 73kwh compare to say a 2022 model y that had 300 mile range but is down to 280 ish ? I am illiterate on ev specs and I realize it depends on driving & application but is 73kwh giving what approx range given normal street driving ?

Will drive like a well powered easy to use newer vehicle.... Less tractor and more ease of use. "Motor Block" about 700lbs and replaces similar removed weight which is nice for maintaining OEM balance and weights and performance etc. Range for a heavy steel non aero brick vs a tesla ... 50% less efficient. Expect 1.5-2.0 miles per kWh. Fast Charging and regular usability that will be perfect for the family building this one. But a usable 1970 classicdaily driver with style and functionality! More to come on that soon enough! Thanks for inquiring...

Nothing cooler than a proper 40 angle pic.... And then the left turn........ 300 HP in a tiny transmission sized package. Custom T-case adapter to a Dana 300 matched with the TT Singel speed Gear Reduction Box makes for a clean solution... Pending a Tremec Gear box release in progress for EV drive unit....

Placement and Fab work. Should have everything in by the 4th.. .Maybe.....

 

[TremecElectricGT]

Vintage AIr interior FJ setup with out systems electric AC Compressor will make hthis build into a mobile Sub-Zero Freezer!! No joke how well the e-compressors work as they dont slow down when the motor slows RPM... Cools battery for DCFC as well.... added bonus.... Factory knobs for everything with some special twists as needed..... Dakota Digital is working a nice new Cluster for the EV needs......

 

[TremecElectricGT]

Power steering installation and new Accelerator pedal.....

 

[TremecElectricGT]

The customized Dakota Digital FJ40 cluster will come out nice with the planned mods....... More detail to come.

Take the pass side of the tcase mount over the front dline, not under.

 

[TremecElectricGT]

Four wheel disk brakes with electric vacuum assit power brakes + regen.... How will that compare to original and how will it drive handle considering the new power train? -- Still Fitting everything before pulling our for final installation prep..
Steering linked in w Power steering too.

 

[TremecElectricGT]

Cleaning up plumbing with hard lines for thermal management of batteries and components for our newest 413 modular EV System Demo build. Nice upgrade for this 40's two separate thermal loops.

 

[MOTOV8R]

Have you considered partnering with the FJ Company or Icon 4x4? Seems like they might have some clients that would be interested in this drive train and have the funds for it.

 

[TremecElectricGT]

Why is this bench seat set up so cool. Beach run, fishing trip, a bird shoot..... Cant wait to get this rolling... soon.

 

[TremecElectricGT]

Everything fillted and stripped out. All fab bracketry off to powder coating and then is final install time. Wire adn plumbing that can be done while everything is out... DCFC charge port, 12v etc...... How do you feel about the the mint green and interior coloring?

Wow awesome work, fit/finish, attention to detail - top notch. Green not my favorite color.

Mine neither, although olive green is third behind white and desert beige
