What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? (36 Viewers)

[hairy_apple]

Pulled the 4 speed out of my cruiser yesterday. The plan had been to install the h55 today, but found I had a small rear main leak and decided to not be dumb and to wait until next weekend and fix it and then install the h55. Also disconcerted that I will have to modify the transmission tunnel for the H55. I was hoping I wouldn't have to, but it's going to have to happen.

Good call.

Mine looks different. I has a cut-out to go around something. I thought it went around the bump stop but the bolting doesn't work. Hmmm.....

Ah. Looks like it goes on the passenger side frame rail. I'll check that out tomorrow.

I almost think it went under the radiator but nothing lines up there either. 1979 FJ40...

It look similar to mine. Passenger side, below the battery tray(ish)

look at the cover numbered 51443 in the image.

Should be a cool build.

Anymore info on this rig?

 

[igotta40]

It's been 5 years since I took this apart. Anyone know where this bolts up to on the frame? I found a pic on here that showed it next to the motor on the drivers-side frame rail but non of the holes lined up. I almost think it went under the radiator but nothing lines up there either. 1979 FJ40...

Passenger side below the battery

 

[steffan]

This probably has been covered somewhere before….Bent up some stainless welding rod to keep the tire carrier closed. Being cheap and all, decided to make instead of buying…. That being said, with the price of materials, it probably cost more than ordering one

The old rear sill repair. Overall happy with the real steel panels. They needed quite a bit of modification to fit but good enough for this cruiser.

passenger frame rail, under battery. Mounts on top side of frame. Large oval hole is to align with frame rivet.

Finally drove my 40 today post sniper install and it went wonderfully, a touch loud, but very smooth, immediate throttle response and 0 hesitation. Now tomorrow I'm going to get quotes on running the exhaust from the down pipe back. Local shop recommended a stainless 2 1/2" Flowmaster plus tail pipe just behind the left rear tire ~300. not sure on the series Flowmaster I'll ask if I go with them to do it

 

[Catching Neutral]

@nitroid13 ….consider adding a catalytic converter while your at it since the sniper runs a bit fat. And have them weld in an O2 sensor bung.

I did put an O2 bung in the down pipe just south of the manifold. Just curious, how does the extra restriction of the cat effect how rich or lean? Does it effect how the O2 sensor reads? Unless it more to do with the carbon emissions

That’s what I run on mine. Gives it a nice rumble with that flow master. Just gotta make sure the rear bend is accurate where it exits behind the driver’s side rear tire so it doesn’t interfere with the rear spring/shackle.

 

[Catching Neutral]

@nitroid13 …. Let’s see if @wngrog will chime in here. I think the CC is down stream from the O2 sensor.
I’ve been running my sniper since 01/22 and plan on adding a CC as soon as I can.

 

[wngrog]

No specific science behind it but I usually go the o2 about 8”
After collector and cat about 2-5” past o2

Out with the old, in with the new OEM goodness.

Dealer source or vendor?

@70fj40 How close is the tailpipe to the back plastic cover for the tail light. Looks very close in the picture.
