The 2F motors are great. Some people hate it when you re-power an original truck, some people hate Chevy V8's too. It's a personal thing I think. Personally, I love the sound of a V8 not too mention the extra torque it gives you.
awesome fj40, im a patrol man but my dad owned one and i grew up fourwheel driving with him in it, will always have a soft spot for the fj40, and yours is very impressive :D
Way to not give up when you were almost stuck there! I've been offroading with my friends but never had my own rig yet. I'm building up a CJ7 and Scout II right now. Whichever is done first hits the mud and rocks first :) Right now the Jeep is winning. My second choice for a rig was an FJ40 but I came across my CJ7 for 400 bucks!
Hi Pete401, Nice looking Fj40,I am considering to purchased a Landcruiser myself.I have to agree with you on the Chevy V8.I got a '98 Camaro Z28 with the Ls1 engine and the torque is awesome,so I understand why the Chevy V8. Cheers, Bryan
Sure. It's rare to find one rust free these days. If you're going to repower it with a V8 be prepared to spend a lot. The cheaper way would be to find the original motor and box. In stock form they really are a great machine..
you my man are a fuking legend. kudos to you for taking what would obviously be you pride and joy out to do things like that. iv always loved the fj 40's and am saving up to buy one im 22 now and want to be able to do stuff like what you do.... dunno if ill have the balls tho! LOL nice work man
i see a lot of the fj40 have a slant 6 in them, are the engin mounts the same as in a old jeep? becouse i have a 76 jeep with a great slant 6 i could use in my 1980 fj40
When you doing V8 conversion, does you change gear box also? really envy what you doing to your fj40.It very difficult to get this information in Malaysia since no one doing this conversion.Really need your advise. thanks.
The original gearbox/transfer case is ok to use. But you have to change the bowl housing between the motor and gearbox. We use an aftermarket one for the job down here from marks4wd.com Hope that helps.
dude i was clapping me hands when u pull through!! nothing beats the fj40s!! theyre build to last forever!! thanx for posting..

toyota really makes good 4 wheel drives and their other autos are excellent too, they give you your money's worth and a whole lot more.
What a power house! Love how it jumps side ways at the end as soon as it gets a little more traction.
Hell Yeah, Man do I want one of these FJ40s. These are the quintessential Toyota 4WDs!
awesome fj40, im a patrol man but my dad owned one and i grew up fourwheel driving with him in it, will always have a soft spot for the fj40, and yours is very impressive :D
cannot beat the '40 - hardcore!
Nice land cruiser.
i got a 78 fj40 with 38.5 inch tires. those things really are beasts. i just need to get a snorkle though.
awesome 40 Mate! LS1 sounds like the way to go, would love to put one in my 60!
Dan
Now that is an awesome little buggy. Someday...
Thanks for sharing!
That is a sweeeet sounding 40. Nice driving. By the way, WE were the original 'down under', we've even got a cheezy song to show for it!!!!!!!!!!!

This amazing video should be for a Toyota ad, this is cool i like the that yellow 40 moves in the mud and water...its like a submarine.
Absolutely ❤️ this car

Chevy powered Toyota. It belongs to someone else now. But it still gets used everyday. It's a great truck.
Yep. 5.7L LS1.

Hell yeah that's the way to go with your FJ man!
...Wonder if I can mod my FJ Cruiser that far to do the same thing...
nice driving
beatiful thing that is
DUDE! FUCKING SICK!!!!! loving it.
I drove an Fj40 in the most dangerous road in the world once a week. I would not drive any other vehicle, well maybe a 1970 WV beetle
@cierrafischer yes i did :) have the video too
@V8HlLuX101 Yep.
freaking raw
Hell yeah dude
Thats a beauty
That was great. Anywhere close to Christchurch? (Yea, right.)
Increíble

حلييييييييييييله والله ماشاء الله دريول
it s very sad to hear an adaptation on this machine, not the real legend with a 2F Engine.
Hell yea dawg! Throttle it up! Props...how come your buddy didn't follow??
الرجال سواق والجيب معدل

The power plant is 5.7L Chevy V8 (LS1).
i see a lot of the fj40 have a slant 6 in them, are the engin mounts the same as in a old jeep? becouse i have a 76 jeep with a great slant 6 i could use in my 1980 fj40

I'd like to put a 5.7 I Force v8 in a FJ, and keep the engine a Toyota unit.
yep. That area is closed off now though.
The Waimak? North or South? Reliably wet and muddy?
or you put a winch there and its very convinent to have that room there
I prefer coming from the side.
@pete401 You know that burst his import bubble
Like 👍
i just wanted to know how you changed it to a front locking diff
thanks

Cheers! No my brother is Adam.
@saulocpp Chevy power actually. ; )

Why is he driving through the water when there is a road on the left? Bad eyes? :)
فيصل he side the driver is good
As Exhibit from MTV's Pimp My Ride once said about the Toyota FJ40, "They discovered Africa in one of these motherfuckers didn't they?"
الرجالل سواق يوم غرز عليه بلمويه ماعلق علئ ازذعسه كان غرز وماطلع الي عجبني رجع ورا ريوس وجاه مسرع وطلع
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
