It's a diesel. That's why I mentioned gelling.
I drove to my daughter's basketball game and home without any issues. Swapped hose clamps anyways. Read a little on the acsd and the fuel primer causing an air leak. For now I'll keep an eye on it.

Refreshed 1FZ-FE ready to be implanted into the 80. This motor was pulled from @jomelo rig Builds - 1997 FZJ80 to HDJ80 1HD-FTE + H152F - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1997-fzj80-to-hdj80-1hd-fte-h152f.1087502/. @OGBeno fed the parts appetite and @slow95z gave helpful tips on how to yank it out. I plan on having this finished within the next 3 weeks and I'm ready because it's consuming all my free time.
At times this engine swap seemed overwhelming because of the apparent complexity, plethora of hoses, and electrical connections but Toyota well engineered this engine and pulling it was relatively easy, only a few connections to undo. The bulk and mass was tricky and will be in reinstalling. As I moved wiring harness and other items from old to new everything fell into place.

Spent all the moneys on rubber:
And starting my slow restoration. First up channel rust removal.

Look at that! So glad to see it’s living on.
Replaced the front exhaust hangar. Thanks to Joey @wit’s end.
Greatful there are no rust!

Not just living on but giving a new life to an oldish Cruiser.

Installed Dobinson IMS shocks on all four corners, wow these are nice.
Do you have a list of P/Ns? Do you think it'd be worthwhile to do exterior door seals now if they're trashed, if I'm planning to do bodywork/respray down the road?
Emailed beaudesert about getting some exhaust shipped here.
I cringe at what this will cost.

I'd see if Zach and team could fab you up something from scratch instead. They do beautiful work and aren't far from you. Silly to ship an exhaust IMO. UNDER PRESSURE RACING // Automotive Design - https://www.under-pressureracing.com/

Been there done that. They will not ship to the USA. I had someone order it in Australia and then ship to me via DHL. That was earlier this Summer.
I know of Zach. Yelm is a 2 hours drive. I work 50-60 hours a week. I just don't have time for something like that.
I talked to torfab about it they suggested buying a downpipe and having a shop build it. Finding a shop that'll mandrel bend 3" is a pain. Plus that leaves me either paying a shop to install the downpipe which is silly or paying a wrecker to tow the rig down and have it built.
When calculating time and cost the exhaust being shipped isn't that much more expensive than 8 hours of drive time plus parts and labor(2 hours there, 2 home plus a second trip to go get it) and finding someone to run me back and forth. Plus I can install it at my liesure.

Had a couple of drinks.. saw a couple of things
Spent some more time working on my locker axle. wired off all of the rust. Hit it with a quality primer sanded it a little and another coat. Followed by 2 coats of blitz black and the cherry on top, my slee guard. (I think I prefer my old OEM version).

Just checked my documents. It was around $1725 AUS landed out my buddies house in Australia. I think it cost around $1200 to have sent DHL to Idaho. It’s obv much cheaper to do sea freight but container shipping takes forever. I’m having a bumper shipped now from AUS via DHL and trying to stuff in some other items to soften the blow.
Thankfully all the bumpers and sliders will be fabbed by my buddy. But he doesn't do exhaust
It's funny, I'm saying to myself that's way to much money.
But it's like $500 less than the exhaust on my lightning.
Wow, thanks guys, I'm feeling much better about what I paid OTRAMM at this point !
