Hey Jibby, here is my plan of attack for the LC. I picked up a R150f 5 speed out of a 96 4runner and I'm going to run the marlin crawler toybox adapter to my stock 3 speed transfer case. I tossed around the idea of going with the stock 5 speed transfer case with an Fj80 axle out back but my...

Here are some examples XR8tt

Jibby, of course I'm putting a 1uz in it. I'm may shoot for the sky and go twin turbos but this is my first full build up so i'm pobably going to play it by ear with the twins. Fabricating isn't the part that scares me ( I'm an aerospace welder) its the electronics that make me shart my pants a...

I just got done pulling my head out of one of the 4 tuner mags that I subscribe to and there seems to be a growing trend growning in popularity in America to copy the Bippu ( a.k.a. VIP) style of cars. For those of you not formilliar, the Bippu style started in japan long ago and they favored...

Holy crap that is quite the shop. The school I went to up here in NH was about a quarter that size. Toysrme, take avantage of any tig classes you can, once you come close to mastering tig everything else becomes so much easier. good luck.

great job Lex, You guys do such a great job with this website, there is so much information on here that I have yet to become bord with staring at a computer screen reading for three hours. The only thing I wish the site had was a tutorial or tech section set up were the readers (and riters for...

excellent, thanks for the tip

Mudman you do great looking work. I was just wondering were you got you materials to do this, mainley the flanges, unless you made them yourself. Again, great work man.

swampymarsh, I am in the the proccess of getting parts together to so a similar swap. I've got an 73 Fj 40. Unfotunatly my Fj came without a motor or tranny but still had the t-case (still can't complain it was free). The path I have found is easiest for me was to use a five speed R150f out of a...

sorry guys. Entered that thread a little late you seem to be of the subject. I was just trying to clear up schneidy's issue with the manual tranny.

Hey guys I'm from the states and I'm pretty sure that the standard tranny in the late model landcruisers is somthing we are not so fortunite to have here all we get is the auto tranny. I had been looking for one my self for quite some time only to figure this out.

Just wondering if any of you guys know of any suppliers in the states that could get me a 1uz with a crown ecu. Any ideas I'm open to

thanks for the lead zuffen. Still looking in my area in the states for someone who I feel is knoledgable enough to do the tuning.

I have posted a thread on this site before about my 1uz swap into a FJ cruiser and have retained quite a bit of info after the last month or two but I just had some remaining questions. I was wondering if the US spec Ls 400 is exactly the same as the crown as far a electronics go. I'm still a...

Thanks for the reply guys. To answer your questions Peewee, I don't have a motor or tranny yet I'm still searching out info before I purchase but I was wondering about the R150F and if it would be strong enough to hold up to the power of a V8 and if it could will it bolt up to a 1uz. Thanks for...

Hey guys, found your forum from a landcruiser forum, its pretty cool and informative. I was wondering if any of you had some ideas on a V8 swap for my FJ40. I realize there is a few other threads pretty much on the same subject but I am starting from scratch and needed some different ideas. I...
