Jzilla's FJ60 to BJ60 conversion

[cruiserjunktion]

Looks great! Would you post up some pics of the booster. I need to see where the front brake line hooks into the master/ proportioning valve. The lines on my 62 don't line up with my bj booster.

Thanks!

Here you go Mel, sorry it took so long.

Is this the rear brake line?

 

[jzilla]

It appears to be the front one, but I am having a hard time tracing it behind the booster with everything on.
On the BJ that one is the rear one.
Sorry that does not help much.

Not to be a stickler but did you guys notice the R and the F cast into the housing? I can't say I ever did until I saw Mels picture...

That's ok Tony, I did notice it, and on the BJ the R goes to the rear for sure, but on the FJ I could not tell with the booster in the way. I did not want to say it does just in case it does not

Mine doesn't have a f and r like jzillas....

Had to scratch the rust off mine in my BJ just to see it... What makes it confusing is that the 62 doesn't even use that valve. My bad for not realizing that was John's pic thought it was yours

Mel, Hope the rest of your swap is going well

Fj62 has a LSPV back on the rear axle that does that job. FJ/BJ60 series has the proportioning valve under the master cylinder.

I thought this was the case and could just eliminate one of the two.

I figured I should post a picture of the final product, although more has been done since this picture... See my other links for additional mods.

Nice meeting you man. Hope you enjoyed your 10 minutes in Sudbury lol. Good luck with the rest of the trip and feel free to let me know if you need anything on your way back.

Truck's looking awesome man! Any plans on making your way up to Edmonton again?

Time to update this thread, I am a year behind!
Decided to rebuild the gauge pod this past Spring, built a little metal brake which allowed for some nice bends this time. Also added the mechanical water temp gauge. The first gauge pod did the job but was not up to my standards for visual appeal...
Will keep adding photos over the next few days.

Had the radiator recored this Spring as well, it had been done about 10 years ago and was due...

 

[slowandsteady BJ]

Very cool. Nice clean work as well!

 

[KingSpence]

Looks good dude! I'm surprised we haven't passed by each other on the streets this summer.

 

[jzilla]

Thanks slowandsteady
Spence we should meet up before my truck goes off the road to hibernate
