  • i got a question. Where do you get your seats i got a 76 fj40 that needs new seats. i have a quick video of it btw

  • That sounds great. Can you tell me what muffler(s) you were running?

    Thanks, B.

  • @BrianSanDiego1. Cheers. It was running just two mufflers. One on each side with a balance tube straight after the headers.

  • @pete401 Hey Pete, thanks for getting back to me.  Actually I should have been more specific with my question. I also have headers and dual mufflers but I really like the way your rig sounds. Do you recall what make and model your mufflers were? Thanks again! Brian.

  • @BrianSanDiego1. I don't recall the make or model. All I can say is they were short and not straight through. More of an "S" flow through. It was a 3 inch system. Hope that helps.

  • what engine do you have? sounds beautiful

  • @wangsta231 I sold this a few months back. It was running a Chevy 5.7L LS1 V8.

  • thinkin of switchin my motor. i heard all you have to do to put a small block chevy in is to drill out one of the bell housing holes to mate it up. is this true? ive got a 78 fj40. figured id ask you since youv done it. sounds awesome by the way!

  • @dmille460 Hi there. I'd help if I'd done what you're looking at doing. But the V8 re-power was done using a alloy Chevy LS1 motor. Between the Toyota running gear and the LS1 I used a, "Marks adapter bell housing kit". Pretty cheap and made the conversion easy. Good luck. Pete

  • Post some more videos!

  • hey pete, well i still didnt get some pictures of it but i will definately post them when i do. So you think the 350 will do the job?? I was also considering the 2J (toyota supra) engine. For the gear i was thinking of going with the nissan patrols gear. What do you suggest??

  • I'd go for the LS1 (injected 350) myself. Nissan Patrol running gear would be a good choice.

  • hey just bought an fj40 .. whats the best engine for it choosing between the 350 chevy, the 454 big block chevy, the ls1 and the lt1??

  • Got some pictures of it? Personally for a repower I'd go for the LS1 injected 350 Chevy. Carborated motors don't like steep angles so much. Fuel injected is cheaper to run as well.

  • @coolq8y i have an LT1 it hauls ass and burns all 4, lacks a little torque on the low end but that thing will rip the snot out of u once it lights up!

  • she drives it how it should be driven!!

  • She does. And I love a woman that can drive a 40 like the boys. She's a fox. =)

  • hey pete i got a video at last (fj40-1982)

  • Thanks i will add some video's of it before and after modifications and u have an amazing Fj40 keep it up

  • what horn do u have on ur Fj..and what lift kit just bought a Fj40 and i really need some help mesg me thanks...

  • Congrates on your purchase of the FJ40 Bader! You'll have to post some video of it. Stay tuned coz mine is being modified this month. =) The horns are air horns. My FJ40 hasn't had a lift, just new springs on 35 inch tires. Loving that Chevy ute of yours!! Awesome!

  • yeah i should really wear one all the time,,that bit of road is so dusty though goggles work better than a fullface lid..my latest creation should be ready for testing this week and i'll get a vid on here asap.blue lt500r,tuned to 90 horse at vasy expense and with an NX nitrous express kit!!should be a killer vid!!laters,Rory

  • Great! Sounds like a beast. Look forward to seeing it. =)

  • Yeah I watched your video. Hard case. Freaked me out watchin you guys ridin without helmets tho mate. I've come off to many times not to wear one.. Takecare! Pete.

  • haha lol go the driving mums!!

  • Well, Mum tells me the reason she gave it the jandal was, that her jandel was stuck under the accelerator. =)
