The Shortbus....nice.

Yeah she is tip top and alot fun. What a capable machine. Christo probably got a tear in his eye to see her?

I think it is getting a LS3 and 6speed auto or a turbo 1fz in the winter of 2011.....

Jeff, on the bra thing are you talking about a hood bra or a ladies bra? I think you are on to something if you were thinking ladies bra, Hell it would make a great bikini top.

Bra ain't nothing without the TaTas.... Just saying ; )

2x4 lexus GS 350 3.5 V6 conversion? 303hp-274t

Hello,
I'm interested in creating an inner city beast. I never use 4 wheel drive want to improve handling & gas mileage. Any thoughts on using a 2007 Lexus GS350 3.5 V6 (303hp - 274lbs t, w/ 6 sp AT) Which FJ is a better candidate? The 62 or the 80? I prefer the 93-94 dash board in the 80). Also, what is involved in permanantly removing the transfer case? Yes, I know this is near sacreligious though, I've owned a 60 years ago and love the durability & reliability of these FJs. I just want to build a vehicle to suit my needs / conditions.
Thanks.

Kirk's build thread really isn't the best place to be asking theoretical build ideas.

I'd recommend you start a new thread.

Ha! And I was looking forward to visit with a replay of last summer's "ih8mud goodwill" tour......
 
Thank you.

Kirk,

Onur was describing this to me in a fashion related to cruiserhead utopia/enthusiasm, and I did not quite get the fullmess?!? But after the youtube videos of the dream become a reality- WOW! I can now share in the excitement!!!!... Thanks for the inspiration guys!!!!
 
ROCK ON!!!! That must of felt good after all this time!! Got a pic of the dash installed yet?
 
My fiance just asked what that sound was coming from the computer to which I replied "that's a 400HP Cruiser!" Simply beautiful.
Nice crib you've got. I went to college at Akron and graduated high school from Canton Central Catholic... I don't know that part of Akron... is it Bath?
