[CruiserheadFJ40]

View attachment 2386901Wood frame built and body flipped on its side to receive the lizard skin sound and heat spray. Lot of weight for one dude.... i need more friends or for my kids to get bigger quicker....

More friends they grow up too fast and gone.

Started it up and drove to town for a burger yesterday, it was the first time I have drove it in a little over a week.


Loaded it up this evening with rods, I think I might go on a little drive tomorrow up to some cooler water.

Started a major upgrade project on the Goat 45 ..... thread in signature

Nearly through the major dramas on this FJ40. Man its been a nightmare but we are on the down slope.

I will post a few pics when it's all done.

Cheers

Not the best day of fishing, but at least I wasn't at work.

I managed to move the cartel castoff to it's temporary place, until its time for evaluation and getting back on the road. Glad I added this rear concrete pad, room for 2 more

Reinstalled the tranny hump with new seal from SOR.

Got a pretty good deal on a Warn M12000 winch from someone local. The thing is surprisingly heavier than I was expecting. I'll clean it up a little and install that in due time.

I mocked up the new Vintage Air unit and am hoping to have it all mounted soon enough. Then move onto the engine bay for that part of the install.

Purchased this crate flooring from Farmtek.com to install as the floor for the conferr roof rack. It'll look something like this once it's installed.

I like the rack floor idea

New exhaust pipe. I had my exhaust guy do a 3-bolt SBC flange for the Aussie header. Also, a bung for an O2 one-wire sensor. Put an air/fuel readout on the old EGR light bracket. It is a game changer for checking the carb's tune. I'm lean at hard throttle, and rich on a hot idle. Interesting, I plugged the vac advance and corrected some of the lean and weakness. I have extra main jets, should I drill it to the next numbered drill, or do a carb dip? Should I pull the head and get more vac by cleaning the top of the valves? Either way, I have a nice tool that can be removed and plugged after I get things worked out.

Turn the carb base mounting bolts to the left. Remove carburetor.
Add Sniper.

You forgot “call Cam at Mosley Motors” after Remove carburetor...

But in all seriousness, I’m very happy with the performance of my sniper install over the original carb.

And just get a 4Runner.

Ian. What the hell? Painless harness?


Front done

 

[rflegal]

Crankshaft and cam installed. Rods and pistons balanced. Waiting on Clevite rod bearings.
Transfer rebuild complete. New snap rings for the H42 rebuild ready for pickup at the Toyota dealer. New detent springs from SOR show up Saturday. Getting really anxious at this point!

 

[SNLC]

Just made the decision before lunch, we are running all new wires for turn signals, tail lights, backup lights and running lights.

Waste of time to try and fix this, it is such a huge mess.

Cheers

That looks like a trailer wire converter.
I had to use one when I put in a 79 harness with a drive train swap and wanted to keep the 1970 rear lights.

Ya it is, the truck has trailer lights for tail lights. The converter is not really the problem, its all the hacked wiring.

The 55 is ready for the final dismantle and ready for the top finish.
