Builds Tucson FJ 45 Resto Mod (1 Viewer)

[Mark Mehalic]

You're making a great improvement with the axles and motor. When I first saw the listing, I thought "Who would put that clattering 4BT in such a nice truck?!" The FZ will be great in that truck and smooth as glass. It's not enough engine for an 80 series, but should pull nicely with low gear in the NV. Can't wait to see it finished.

I agree and I'm excited as well. Thank you.

Thank you! Stay turned, it's going through it's next transformation. Removing the BT4 Cummins and installing a 1FZ. Swapping out the 80 series axles for 70 series. New wheels and a bunch more...

Making this one even more desirable. Look forward to the updated photos.

Good call on the 1FZ and 70 axles, Mark.

Yep! I can't wait to get it done. I already sold the BT4 and NV 4500. Proffitt's doing the new conversion. It's going to be nice.

You won’t regret the 1FZ.

I'm telling you without hesitation - I had it to do over again, this is what I would have, period. After the 1FZ swap, perfection!
