Theres a few in my area but i finally caught one in the wild while driving mine! Theres about 4 different FJ40s here that I see putting around

I forgot this also followed me home somehow. Magically. Mysteriously. 1 owner 130k miles. Will also be built a little to be the chase car for the ol pig because the wife needs her comfort features.

So upon more and more driving. I have found the root cause of all my drivability issues. The carb secondary doesnt open unless im at like FULL wot. It just fills with gas. So idling in my driveway givin it some revs that second bowl filled up over the whole venturi and then when you floor it, it drowns and you have to back out again. But its leaking from pretty much every mating surface there is on the dang thing. Was supplied by SOR back in 2018 before it sat and rotted in the backyard of that body shop. So just going to save up money and go EFI for sure. The rebuild kit on SOR for mine shows out of stock. So if anyone wants a 69 specific carb for any reason, lemme know. Lol

converted to a weber 38 carb, then drove it over to a buddys house who has been a toyota master tech for 35 years. Once he is done going over it he will give me two bills - bill of health and the bill of repairs..... I am determined to make PP2025


Plan B is I also picked up a 2007 sequoia parts car that runs/drives. But I would have to convert the transmission to a passenger drop tcase. been scouring looking for tips and tricks on that. Either it makes it to PP with the straight 6, or the 2uz. Either way im makin it

 

[BoomerUZ]

The verdict is in. cylinder 3 is dead. shifting to plan B.

Should be an adapter plate to swap to different trans transfer like a rf150

Like so if you haven’t found a solution. I’m doing r150 and 3.4 in one of my 45s soon

Friend of mine Samiur is the owner of Rallye Craft in Pakistan and has a manual trans and passenger drop tcase they had in a 1uz FJ40 - hes checking on the shipping cost for that and I will only pay shipping and have the full manual swap with tcase, just have to get the engine pulled and wiring sorted out

 

[BoomerUZ]

Well looks like we are going with plan C actually. New engine will be delivered (in the vehicle its coming from) on the 8th. Full standalone with coil over plug conversion, running on speed density. I am the one who wired/tuned the engine in the car its in currently, so will be a great donor. will still be sourcing the trans/tcase from Samiur

so if anyone wants the stock engine/trans stuff let me know

 

[BoomerUZ]

This thing is FOOKIN HEAVYYYYY... thankfully new engine is only 450lbs.

Yes its a tree branch holding up the hood dont judge me

 

[WarDamnEagle]

You do know the top radiator core support unbolts? Not to mention the hood, grill, etc.

Was gonna say…
Not to mention, on the gravel even! That method is bad enough on concrete!

Maybe some 33x12.50’s on the cherry picker

 

[BoomerUZ]

We had to chain the picker to my neighbors truck to pull this big lump out lol i always find a way

 

[BoomerUZ]

picture of said truck with chain on the hoist. lol he had to lift the transfer case while I used a jack handle to pry it up, and it popped out and hit me in the arm and shoved me back. I got a few cuts and bruises from this endeavor but its going to be worth it
