Any updates besides finally getting your new tranny? And do you have dual 2.28's or a 2.28 and 4.7?
Good to hear about the KO2's. I'm looking at them to replace my KM2's when they're gone.
No updates on the 3RZ. I have the conversion engine mounts, and that is it. I keep visiting our local u-pull for an engine, but all they ever have is the 2RZ, or the 3.4 V6. As soon as I see an engine it will get pulled and stashed in the garage. Then I will start moving on the other parts I need for the conversion (oil pan, oil pick up, etc).
I also have a philosophical issue with the transmission. I currently have a R151F which I would not be able to reuse because the 3RZ bellhousing fits a W-series. Marlin used to have a conversion bellhousing to run a R-series transmission behind the 3RZ, but he stopped making them. I really don't want to go backwards. The decision to reinstall a W-56 would be a hard one. Especially since my tax refund is going to rebuild the R151F this spring.
I've heard many internet rumors that the bellhousing that goes between a 2trfe and a r155f will bolt a 3rz to a r151f. It would be worth doing a Google search on.
As we all know, this sickness leads to change. Our trucks are never static, they are never "finished."
What ever I bolt on the truck has to improve the trucks ability, and it needs to stay within the mission of being an expedition truck.
I keep my fridge there in my fj62, but have a lift gate which probably makes life easier than the roll down glass.
Damn. Out of stock. I had the credit card out ready to go.
Another quick overlanding update, before the big update in a few days.
As I said this fridge slide was the extended version. It has this spot behind the fridge that can hold what ever you want, but it's the perfect size for a Scepter water can. So, I had a thought. I bought the 20L container from Front Runner that has the spout on the bottom. I removed the cheezy spout, and installed a brass 1/4 turn boiler valve. I then bought some silicone tubing and a hose end to barb fitting and ran the hose to the tailgate. Now I can access water without having to dig out the containers from the back.
