Preparing to pull the engine transmission on the FJ80! Disassembly time… labeling all the nuts and bolts and keeping this organized while draining fluids and pulling front end off in order to make it easier when I hoist her out!

half in the street...half on the sidewalk.
Are you on a hill too?
Hi-Lift jack at almost max lift.
The clincher is the slow sign.
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
Take it slow and be careful. The engine and transmission is a handful.

At least he using a jack stand !!
You pulling the engine right off the street? wow.
Clean California LC. Don't see any rusts on the frame. Can't wait to see pictures on how you pull out the super long engine/tranny while overcoming the obstacle (curb). She is a fat one. There is a manhole conveniently under the engine. Might as well drain the oil down? Just kidding. Be careful and good luck.
In Calif we call those water meter box’s
Saw some awesome rigs at the roundup. I’ll have some phots to post tomorrow once I get home and have a chance to process them.
Been a street mechanic since I was 15 years old. We adapt and overcome! Haha!
Got some more clearance for the impending heart transplant.

The teeny little catch pan somehow makes this funnier.
The struggle is real! Haha. I’ll send pictures of the engine and transmission out manana!
Can you still get new OEM 1HD-FT heads?
Wheeled it to test out lockers, everything works.
Got hung up on a ledge, dented the muffler and tore both exhaust mounts. Slee transfer skid did it's job
Looking for recommendations, smaller muffler to tuck.

I had some left over dip your car spray paint i used on some rims a while back.
Decided to see how it looks in the hood. Since it looked like Gold Member. The hood was wiped with poppys patina, but the clear was still peeling.
Simon came over and helped
What we started with
Sanding 120 grit
More sanding with 220 grit
Primered
End result with shadows.. see how it goes
If I grow to hate it I'll buy cans of moon glow and respray, maybe vinyl. I dont mind experimenting.
