Started April 2006 and drove it for the first time today! All I have to say is wow! Just wanted to share some pics from today of my experience.

Started as a 1969 Fj40 with an old Chevy 350. It did run but did not stop or turn very well.

What started as some brake work turned into an entire restoration with some enhancements.

It now has a new Chevy 5.3 drive by wire engine. A Dodge NV4500 HD transmission, Stock 3 speed tcase (Going to go to Orion soon after driving it) 1997 Fj80 axles (4wheel discs). XRC seats, Mastercraft in the rear, EZWire 21 fuse, with Shark guages.

Enjoy a few pics. I can answer most questions now for those doing similar swaps.








I also have a lot of the full rebuild on my site FJ40 Restoration

That is one damn clean truck. Looks like you took your time and did it right. That's the kind of truck you keep forever. Sorry your almost done with it. Building it must have been a lot of fun. :]
