No hijack at all, thanks for the info. Where are meetings held?

Thanks for the kind words on the truck. You'll notice I parked it as close to the highway as possible!:D

Hi, we're still working out meeting space, so far, it is at members' homes, so I don't want to post the details on the www. PM or email me and I'll forward them to you. Or, better yet, join our members (and prospective members) only Yahoo Group to get all the meeting and trail invites. Send me your email and I'll forward on a group "invite".

Woody graciously created a VI Cruisers forum on mud too. Thanks Woody!

I was referring to the linked article. But yah, I am weird :)
 
Open to reasonable offers, I've got to move my 23' boat onto the driveway soon.
 
I happened to drive by this Cruiser yesterday morning, and seeing someone working in the shop behind, I just had to stop to take a peek.

This Cruiser appears to be in great condition; it started right up and sounded wonderful. Priced fair for a sharp looking Cruiser.

g'luck, -Steve
 
Thanks for stopping Steve, and the kind words.

First 16,900 CAN takes it. :eek:

If it doesn't go for that, then $1750. will buy a used mine truck 5 speed and I can get the rest of the parts out of Japan to convert it and we'll go back over $20K. Well over.

dude, don't go used mine truck tranny, you can get a H55F new that will bolt up to that engine.
interesting FACT, the mines here HATE the H151 tranny. i was just at ENS on the weekend chatting with David and Brian about the mine trucks pros and cons. they had to rebuild 10 H55F in all the years they sold that engine tranny combo and they are into their hundreds now with the H151, if you are going manual swap then get the tougher, smoother shifting H55F...
cheers
 
Thanks for the tip on the tranny.

Costs and sources?

I'm perfectly happy with the auto, but I like standard too and since most of the cruiser market seems to have 'auto trans-phobia' I guess I might as well go with whatever adds the most value to the truck, especially if I end up keeping it.

I agree with wayne on that one, the H55F is the better tranny. Wayne, I wonder if the different exhaust manifold set up on the newer 1hz's makes much of a difference? Any thoughts?

Louis,
i have not driven a newer unit much so i can not say for sure. i drove Mike's around the block but never noticed any "WOW" factor...
cheers

i have a used H55F tranny sitting here complete with bell housing if you want it or contact Mark at ENS industrial for a new one...
$1250 for a used H151 seems a bit steep in my books...
for double that i will sell you a 1HZ complete with H55F in "as is" shape
cheers
 
current mine trucks use the R series transmissions, NOT the larger 80 series style H series.

they are all R15X's in ENS trucks.

last I checked with Mark Koback (ENS industrial parts) the HZJ H55 was $6,500 CDN which is much higher than US issue F/2H H55's ($1,600-$1,800) which need a $250 (US) HZ input shaft
 
So what's the differnce between the two H55s? Bell housings & input shafts?
 
rob-

H55's have a cast iron main case like the FJ40/FJ60/BJ60 4 speeds (the H42, H41).
used in mine trucks to 1999, with brief 1990-1994? replacement with R14X 4 speed behind the PZ engine.

R series are aluminum split 1/2 cases with the shifter in a rear extension housing (aka the 4runner transmission with cousins in supras and other toyota trucks in 4 speed- the R14X and 5 speed R15X versions.

H series are pretty large split 1/2 cases with shifter into main unit (no north american parts). Dave Tay has some photos somewhere on mud of his- G&S might have a photo or two. Bionic transmissions, but few if any parts supplied to us.

Just to clarify, you (or the mines) are meaning the R14* and R15* transmissions...correct?

No pics on the website, but we do have an H series on the floor.

ooops, you boys are right, my mistake. it is the R151 behind the mine truck 1HZ...
any which way, the 151 behind the mine HZ are not standing up like the H55 so don't waste your money...
