Very very very nice Green Machine!!! I'm thinking about transforming my Toy 40 into something similar later on this year...
You should! 40's are Iconic
Thanks for sharing the details, I'm sure I'm not the only one that's been waiting. What trans and case?
wow, nice ride. looking to get one. hopefully soon. trying to get the BJ40 1976. wish me luck
what market are you in?
Thanks bro, I am ekai alex . From Kenya. Turkana north west of Kenya. I have the same came car manufactured. In 1983.i call it monster. I am from most disadvantage but I Love my monster I am ready to make her beautiful. Her my angel. Help me go through her future. I am staving but I never let her go.
Land Cruiser love!
Great job. Nice workmanship. What kind of radiator do you have? My 77 FJ40 with Chevy 305 just blew the radiator. I need to replace it, but so many options. I plan on replacing the old 305 with a 5.7 Vortex like yours.
Your help is appreciated.
Paul
it is original! workhorse!
They just dont build like they used to.
What model PSC steering box and pitman arm did you use for the high steer. Nice FK40. I think I'm going to go with the fJ60 fronts and FJ55 rears like you did to lower mine. It sits too tall. Nice front fenders as well.
Not surr on the pitman arm. PO installed the PSC. Has a high steering arm, abovr the leaf springs (protected)
I like the vid. Always nice to Have guys with nice rigs to talk about there set up. Do you know who the manufacture is of your rear ladder bar? Need to get one for my 40.Thanks for the good content.
Man a Fre
@@CruisingTheLand Thanks for the info. Really need it after the rubicon trip. STRUGGLED!
Why did you struggle?
What size tire and engine in your 40? Lift?
@@CruisingTheLand I am running 37" boggers with a 350 chevy, 4 speed with stock axails. The prob was not the ladder bar. Just know i need to upgrade. The boggers are old and rubber is not in The best shape. Plus was not running beadlocks. So with that combo i lost a couple of beads on trail. But the big prob was i was still carburated and the motor was running like shit. Got a new EFI and in process for new beadlock wheels and tires. Will be ready to go for next year.
@@brianzeh7719 yes, the EFI is a big difference maker especially with all the approach angles and also altitude.
What is the travel of your shock I did the leaf spring flip on my 78 fj40
I believe its 14"
Great looking FJ40. What is your opinion of the aluminum body?
I love it! Wont rust, I am in SoCal tho, so really no issue. Lighter too.
@@CruisingTheLand I’ve got a 79 and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a rustier vehicle in my life. It spent its life in the rust belt and then it looks like it was stored in the ocean. I’ve got all the panels to rebuild but been thinking aluminum might be a better way to go. I’m not building a concourse just a good driver.
Nice job. I think also to upgrade my FJ40 with V8 engine. I would like to buy a complete running car as a donor car in US to have all the components I need. Could You help me saying what years, models of cars to look for with that 5,7 Vortec engine?
Look for Chevy Tahoes 98-02
Could you help me find the link to getting the rear fender flares?
He doesn't have a link, you have to contact him directly.
You can send your phone oad or email and I will get it to him:
cruisingtheland@gmail.com
or Instagram: Landcruiser949
what transmission are you running? I am currently running a 5.3L LM7 and a SM420, trying to decide between NV4500 or H55F
SM465
Awesome build man! Would share the shop that did the swap for you? Thank you.
Yes, where are you located?
I’m in Dallas - Texas
@@CruisingTheLand I am in Dallas - Texas. Do you mind sharing how much it cost for swap like this? Thank you
How are you going to get that licensed in California. The DMV can be pretty strict.😔 Beautiful rig! I miss the back country of Southern California. I do not miss the 405 Freeway or the lack of freedoms.
Why would it be hard?
It is 1972 and smog exempt.
It is registered and plated CA.
Now my Diesel HZJ7e is another story....
How many people still call it a Jeep?
get a few waves... newbies.
