I personally wouldnt take it over eighty five with a v8 just cause its not the most stable high speed vehicle. I dont think the 2f wil rev that high to get to 85
How fast have you taken your fj40 up to?

Ah, an FJ40 isn't for getting somewhere fast. It's for getting somewhere most other vehicles can't!
This is not a NASCAR
but Ive had 135kph on the GPS from my 2F

Very cool commercial!!!
Im running a v8 and theres no way id run 85. about 68-69 is the fastest ive had it.
with 33's, 2 1/2 " lift I was testing carb jetting ( 1986 ) and exhaust on the uphill grade north of phoenix.
I pulled 117mph on a 6 percent grade. That was an old school 350 with a holley dp750 and a turbo 400.
In 1990 I swapped in a TBI 350 and managed a shade over 100 on the same grade. I doubt, considering aerodynamics, we'll see a 150 mph FJ40

80ish. Thats enough for me. It has to be a good road w/ 35s. O yea has a sbc.

Focus on the Journey
Not so, at least according to my GPS I hit 87 mph with the original 2F that has only had a valve job on the engine. Not bad for a 30 year old vehicle with 165,000 miles on the odometer. Normally, I don't go over 70-75 on the freeway.
yes it will ;p
my truck does 85, I've had it higher and it still had pedal to give
100. 80 all day long and that was with the original motor with over 150k on it. It's a deathtrap at those speeds though.
It's not a question of how fast you can go in a straight line, it's what will happen if you need to make an accident avoidance maneuver. I don't feel safe over 60 mph.
you can cruise at 85 MPH ....Toyota says so

I'm with Claudia. Mine does 85 easy with throttle to spare, but I have a 2FE with a H55F. I cruise at 75 anytime I'm on the freeway. I will say that 85 was a bit scary in a short wheel base, sprung over truck. I did it while passing a big rig and can guarantee I won't do it on a regular basis.
85 MPH no problem! Im sure being powered by 350TPI and a 4speed auto helps.
Had mine up to 40 MPH when I towed her home.

calculating a strong tail wind into the equation, with the slight hump coming out of my garage to driveway, id estimate 3 mph on a good day
