FZJ45 update

[Waggoner5]

Making a few changes this winter on my pickup to include a 2UZ V8 and a complete rearranging of the drivetrain. The new setup is like it should have been in the beginning. V8 up front with radiator and all cooling systems, and empty bed for camping and stuff. Full writeup on MUD here:

Hey Gary,

Good to see you're staying out of trouble..

That is a long arse drivetrain. I'm sure this will turn out perfectly.

keep the pics coming.

You need to change you sig line to FUZJ45. Nice.

Gary why not just put a supercharger in the FZJ? Was the V-8 cheaper?

The 2UZ allowed me to clean up the whole truck. Radiator back where it should be, etc. The 1FZ ran awesome, I just ran into a deal on a drivetrain and it got me thinking how hacked up the truck was with the cooling system in the rear and no bed to speak of. I hope to be at Round up this year, but it will depend on how far along this next phase is. Its good to hear from you guys.

Always something cool going on with you Gary! Sorry we couldn't hook up in CO. We had a blast! My daughter loved Sol Vista Basin. Go check it out unless you are a great skier. Great for intermediate skiers. You can ski it all in one day. Cheap and nice!

Later,

You've got other Cruisers you could bring you know.

The only thing I have is my 100, and its not really Katemcy friendly. That place is like a huge cheese grater. I may come down anyway and ride with you
