Torfab already has this one done but always good to have other options.

Their kit is great and they’re great people. I wish the kit was a bit more ready to go instead of having to source a couple different parts depending on the year truck you have that’s the constraint that we are going to solve.Torfab already has this one done but always good to have other options.

what parts are you thinking of added that they don't make? They make all the hardware needed for the swap. Swaptime takes care of the wiring and electrics. There are other small parts needed but that's any swap I don't think anyone makes a completely plug and play swapkit for any motor.
Looks like you are making motor mounts for the 62 which is cool.

For starters you need the 95-97 output housing of the trans which can be difficult to source and an added cost. Mitch is awesome, i helped him out with some Land Cruiser specific stuff, and he’s been great help with the gen 5 stuff.
That's actually not true anymore. It was on the version I had but his new version that is about to be released no longer needs that. It's just a longer adapter from the GM trans to the yota T-Case.
Sadly for mine I do.have to burn in new 1fz frame mounts as my 3fe 80 has different ones preventing it from being a direct bolt in.
that would be awesome for fj80 owners, I did see on one of the OP's posts they are offering or going to offer weld in mounts for the 60 series chassis so most likely a bolt in solution is not going to be had for the early 80 series, which makes sense its a small percentage of 80 series owners. But who knows @basir242 is a bolt in solution incoming?

We did a bunch of analysis with our engineers, and because of off-road circumstances potentially jumping the vehicle it will put a lot of load and fatigue on the hardware whereas a welding solution will be superior. We have decided against a bolt in solution at this time due to liabilities, but we just shipped out our first Weld in GEN five LT mounts and the manufacturer will start production for us this upcoming week so by next month, I should have a small batch of weld in GEN five motor mounts for the FJ 60 and FJ 62 chassis.
What is your website, I tried looking it up when you first posted to look at your products but I can't seem to find one?

Unfortunately, our website is currently under production as well. We have been working on land cruisers since 2019 but only recently have we ventured into product development and product distribution. Once the website is live I will be sure to share it. Also, if products are available for sale prior to the website launch, we will work with other Land Cruiser vendors and distributors that you can purchase our product from.
