"Donde Jose"... funny if it would have said "Donde Franco". You might have missed GSMTR, but I would have opted for your trip over that one given the choice

Today we went wheeling!!

 

[FloridaFJ80]

I would have to say that I have the 5 speed installed and its like driving a new vehicle. Truck ran and performed amazing going up huge inclines. Also wheeling with the 5 speed is a lot better then with an auto that is just my opinion. Time is becoming a commodity and not sure on whether to pull the trigger on the brand new crate 1FZ-FE. More updates tomorrow.

During the installation of the 5 speed did you make a list of all the parts needed to convert a north american FZJ80 to manual?

 

[FloridaFJ80]

Yes its really quite simple actually for parts. Though this thread has done an amazing job documenting the whole process.

I can make a list of the parts I used and create an overall required parts list for LHD and RHD. Perhaps Frank we can collaborate and include the parts you used in my thread? Just to clear everything up for everyone.

That 1FZ-FE, that is literally, brand new from Toyota? What's the price without installation?

@musthave

Yes literally brand spanking new from Toyota... trying to find some more.. though very very rare.. LOL

Some more pictures from this weekend

Leather updates!!! All I can say its gonna knock the competition out of the water. These things are by far the best quality leather I have seen. I am very happy with the outcome and its not even installed in the car yet. I went to the factory what an amazing and professional operation. My fellow mudders who purchased kits will be very very pleased.

Wow! Will definitely want to do this someday.

 

[NLXTACY]

What a mess.

$9k for a 1HD-T is insane.

No kidding, entire half cut from SOR is $7500

Have more info later but for now a teaser picture. View attachment 1087104

This pic needs to be high res and poster size.
