Yea it is a cool sticker , your lucky not having to deal with this kind of stuff right now.
Thanks Man ..

I honestly dont know im just assuming because my reg expires in november. I didnt really want to say much to them because i didnt want to get myself in in trouble with them. I just wanted my sticker..

 

Well Played!!!!

If you smogged last year, you may not have to again this year. . . DMV is funny. My buddy has a Stock '93 he's had to smog Every Year for the last few years. Go figure

 

Thanks !!

I do have to smog it this year and thought the ref was going to do that with the new engine but I guess not ..

every year wow man thats not cool !!

 

Not cool at all!!!

When do you have to smog?

 

They only smog test ODBII (1996 and newer) vehicles here in Missouri.

I'm not looking for competition . I just am curious of how it sounds. I almost chose to use an automatic as they are much more comfortable to drive in the long run. I actually measured a few of them and did a lot of thinking about it but in the end I just decided they would just add too much weight to the truck compared to the manual. Hmmm I've always wondered what it would be like to cruise around an FJ... this magazine is basically a magazine about them. It's a great Toyota magazine but jeez they just who off their own FJ they are building up the whole time: http://www.4wdtoyotaowner.com/

 

yea didnt think you were , just messing around .

Its sounds really quite i have all 3 cats and a flowmaster installed . I am going to build a nice mandrel bent exhaust some day , like every one else is using .

I drive a stick all day and it gets annoying ,really like the auto for when i go out to play with this truck .

I just recently subscribed to that magazine and my first copy was the one on the site you linked.
and I want an older Fj like 65-72 somewhere in there.

 

so just thought id update a bit .

Trucks still running fine, just noticed my tranny is starting to leak at the sides of the pan (cats are to hot and close i think) a little .

I do have a cheapo tranny cooler and dont have a trans gauge setup yet ,(just ordered one) but I ran across a cooler from a 90's suburban and bought it $15 dollars at pick n pull and will use this instead and use the one i have now for the power steering cooler.

here is a pic .

 

It came with those shiny fittings too???







Good to hear its still runnin great!

 

whats up logan.. No man it didnt wish it did though ..

I see you guys are still busy with filling the yotatech server space...

 

Who us?? heheeh

Hey if I ever get stationed down there(Pt Mugu..oh please oh please oh please) I'll hit you up! I know it's not THAT close...

 

of course man , no problem ..

 

Super Awsome write up on this swap, I am going to be doing this swap very soon to my 88 4runner SR5.
Thanks

 

Thanks man , nad good luck .

well i was installing the cooler and trans temp gauge this weekend and when i removed the bumper and grill i noticed the radiator looked funny.

Took a closer look and noticed that some of the tubes the fins are attached to have expanded. only the ones that are not covered by the fans .
the part of the radiator that is covered by the fans is still in perfect shape .
i didnt take any pics but ill get some tomorrow and post them .

I havnet had any problems with cooling yet but then again i havnet taken her out wheeling for a while , just little drives around town with no problems.

im ordering a third fan and going to install it up top and see what happens.

 

ok snapped a few pics ..trans temp gauge.

the part of the radiator with the fans. looks fine ..

No fans covering this part , the center tubes are expanding causing the fins to fold in on themselves, not a good thing ... is this just a cheap aluminum radiator or what ?
hopefully another fan on top will stop it from getting worse.

 

thats to bad RMA, where did you get that rad form? please dont say summit because that is where mine is from :S
