The mighty V8 FJ40 in the mud (uncut no music)

[brokenaxle]

Never doubted the Landcrusher for a minute! Nice driving too by the way ;-)

[staples4335]

filmed with a potato?

[jjaywill]

Nice!!

[chico280]

Those kiddies will remember that for the rest of their lives.  I know I did.

[USMCxAK47]

V8?

[pete401]

@USMCxAK47. Yep. Chevy LS1 5.7L.

[Fastskippy]

your vids have brought a great smile to me. My first car was a Fj40 4.2 straight six short wheel base and same colour as yours. Bulit 1975. I always wanted to add a Chevy but was told the Transfer-case would not hold the power.

thanks for sharing...

[pete401]

@Fastskippy Only to pleased to share. Glad the vids put a smile on your dial. The 400hp Chev hasn't broken the transfer case yet (touch wood), New piston n rings and a mild cam booked in for it this year. ;)

[Fastskippy]

@pete401 .... Sweet, will be watching for your vids... Enjoy..:)

[spazz1234567]

[mongolianturkey]

You guys have to be aussies! Love it mate, im considering getting an fj40 on 33"muddies here in perth :) looks like a great car.

[Necroticz]

Awesome video mate!! Thought you were gonna get stuck at the end but you made it look easy getting out of there!!!

[drpepper1223]

thats a beast right there

[tkubecek]

love the fj, doing a build up my self, im opting for the efi 304 though. still a pretty strong engine in my opinion....

[babar303]

wow...it sounds like monster

[tastethefreedom]

Sick cruiser! Are those 33's or 35's?

[pete401]

Cheers!

it's on 35's. =)

[SaMuEl21211]

you treat it like a boat!!! good stuff

[snoobybo]

hahaha farrr out  indeed

[Hellbelly01]

Another good video. Love seeing the old 40's in action. But ohh, gear changes under water? Thats a worry.

[pete401]

Changing gears under water has caught me out since. So I installed a Exedy clutch. Works well under water. ;-)

[mymate69]

ha and you thought he was gunna get bogged,

top job mate i take my hate off too ya.

i got stuck one, lukily you got a chev hey.

[pete401]

I thought I was stuck there to. But the Chevy powered Toyota got me out. The 35 inch tyres helped to. =)

[l1waggon]

How did you get the snorkle to work with the V8. We get some pretty deep mud in Mississippi and really need one for my FJ.

[pete401]

I had an air box made up fitted with a pannel K&N filter to go between the 4 inch snorkel and 4 inch throttle body. If you check out another video clip of mine labeled "FJ40 starts up" you'll see it. Works really well, no power loss what so ever. ;-)

[cs512tr]

at 2:40 that looks and sounds mad!

[dustyflair]

hard to get a yoda stuck!

[ourboyjack]

Cool stuff mate, looks like the kids loved it!

[pete401]

Cheers! The kids love it alright. They always ask, "when are we going four wheel driving?". =)

[jhonnywalker2]

do you want to sale it.........,how  much

[pete401]

Thanks for the offer. But it's not for sale. Cheers.

[hemiwarlord]

hee hee that was fun the kids would have been loving it. makes me want to take the 253 out of my fj40 and stick something decent in it.

[pete401]

Hey there's nothing wrong with the 253! It beats the stock 2F 4.2 =)

[garynz345]

that was awesome, nice v8 sound, ls1 aye?? what did you have to do make it withstand water so well?? top marks!!!

[pete401]

Cheers! Yep, it's an LS1. The only mod done to make it withstand the water is a snorkel. Apparently the LS1 will run completely submerged. =)

[cutiepie9596]

I really enjoyed 4wding it was really fun,I loved the part with the water coming in and it came in really fast...

[pete401]

Thanks kids. (that comment came from my kids)
