[xandesouto]

FJ beautiful, this was a ride to her, joking easily! good! My car is not yet mounted, but see my videos!! tks!!!

[Mauben76]

Thats a cool truck. Should put a turbo diesel in it and make it sound sweat..hehe

[TwistyToy94]

@Mauben76 Nah, a few mates have turbo desiel nissans and they sound like my grandads old tractor.

[Mauben76]

Nissans! You must have some cool mates. Hehe

[shortybj40]

[TwistyToy94]

4" lift using custom dobinson springs.

[sunkykunky]

What a cool Cruiser!

Great job on her.

I need an H55 trany for my FJ 60. I still have the original 2F motor and it's running great!

Did you put in modified engine or was that a 2F?

Great job... I luv LANDCRUISERS!

[hdmccart]

it might be modified - but a standard 2F in low range will do that - mine did! funfunfun...

[the82spartans]

Sweet!

[TwistyToy94]

Cheers, my 40 currently is running a 3f (out of a early model 80 series). But I have a rebuild 304 EFI V8 in the garage which will go in next year.

[the82spartans]

That will go like a raped ape...

Did you have the 5 speed tranny, too?

Thanks.

[TwistyToy94]

@the82spartans

Currently looking into gearbox and xfer options at the moment, would like to get a little better crawl ratio, so possibly looking at importing a NV4500 & NP### xfer from the states.

At the moment its a 4 speed and split case.

[Jsmapper07]

is the top and rear glass and all detatchiable?

[TwistyToy94]

Yep, all unbolts....Once I get a internal roll cage I'll probably take it off when heading offroad. Would hate to roll it and wreck the hardtop.

[kyleDbarnes]

do you got lockers on it?

[TwistyToy94]

didn't in at the time of this video, but have front and rear airlockers now.

[houseofdiesel]

Nice color. Same as my FJ45 on my channel.
