Those color matched flares look sweet!
I like the stance of your rig.
4" lift?
Spring manufacturer?

9 months after I pulled the head to do a “basic exhaust valve job”, the motor is back together and in the vehicle!
90% done just figuring out the carb then it will be ready for a test fire

before, and after ...

A few little things:

A 2F sticker, new black top key, and accelerator rod boot from @ToyotaMatt (thanks!), and a hood rest pad from SOR, so no more throwing a shop towel on the roof.

And yes, my rig does run better with the new 2F sticker.

What’s with the hose clamp on the oil filler cap? You must have one of those 2Fs that is oil tight, lucky you.

Great job Dan! It’s looking good mate!!

 

[John in Utah]

Drove it from SLC to northern Colorado for the holidays. This is the third time I’ve made this trek in the 40, and hopefully the last time naturally aspirated

HA! I wish. Unfortunately, my engine has a sh*t ton of blow-by. That is my third TEQ oil filler cap, the others are God knows where. I now have the valve cover breather hose routed to a blow-by oil catch can, then to atmosphere.

I keep my rig tuned up and it runs strong, and I drive it daily, so I keep kicking that (catch) can down the road.

had a fuel leak from the carb line at the tank. To really get at it i decided to take the gas tank cover off, which meant the seats had to go...

took the opportunity to add a missing gromet (thanks City Racer), and went from this:

Who did the SOA FJ45 artwork in your profile picture?
Very cool, It would look great on a shirt.

Hey Brian, I actually got it off the old interwebs a few years ago. Yeah it would look good on a shirt for sure

I didn’t want to deal with the cross member when placing my new 4 speed so I cut it out. Thanks to @lelandEOD I had a simple solution.

 

[letterman52]

Fender gap repair. Correcting the over cut from
Earlier.

Glad it worked for you! I can't take too much credit for the idea as I got it from @UZJ40. I think it'll really save my bacon the first time I need to service the T-case. Thanks, Riley!

Finally decided to bite the bullet (for the third time) and get the 64 a Holley Sniper fuel injection system.
The carbs I've been trying just aren't cutting it.
This is an original 64 F single barrel (big window) with the old school intake / head etc.
Should be an interesting install.

I went with the 2GC Small Bore in black sans fuel kit. I pieced my own kit together and saved 50 bucks, as well as getting better accessories such as a true Walbro 392 pump, an6 fittings, hose, filters etc. Etc...

I will start a thread on the install when it arrives.

I am anxious to see how this works out for you as I would like to install something similar on my 73 F Motor. Keep me posted.

 

[Dirtygumboots]

I finally had time to finish my radiator fan and heater wiring. Then got it out for a test drive.

 

[78Landcruiser]

drove it a bit today and sat to watch the sun set.
