Mint FJ40 Toyota 1UZFE Lexus V8 walk around and take off

My beast just before the Eaton M112 supercharger is fitted

[@constitutionalist79]

Jonathan Ward of Icon takes the wrong path installing GM LS engines. Glad to see this gentleman stayed true to Toyota.

[@ajfarson]

I tend to agree but I get why he goes LS here in the US. They are more plentiful, cheaper, and can be picked up new rather than reman.

[@submariner144]

@@ajfarson wow, LS is cheaper than 1UZ in USA?? Here LS1 is around 13.000 USD and 1UZ is only

[@mgpunya1]

Like the proportion, height, tire size & all & of course the new engine & the way it shoots off. Well done...

[@robertbanger495]

Nice. I rebuilt, restored a bj40 8 yrs ago and put a 2f engine in. Bare metal and lots of welding. But came out beautiful.

[@doyourbest7655]

Wow. As it should be! The rest of us blokes out here are improvising and thinking through every detail and are keen on seeing how someone else solved the questions. So yeah we want to know more of what and how. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@superchargedFJ40]

I'm going to do a new video because it has had the last of its improvements now. Rear end and a few little tweaks. Pus one on my troopy. Just got a turbo fitted to the 2H

[@MrMightyZ]

A cool Tojo and a great choice with the 1uz-fe... The best little V8 in the world. It's like any other V8 but built much, much better. 1uz's for everyone!

[@superchargedFJ40]

you know it bro

[@eduardohurtado4591]

its a dream car , man , very ,very nice

[@herugendon5783]

The modified car with max budget... Very nice.

[@40ChannelCruiser]

This is one very nice 40 series build up, well done!

[@AbdulMonemRaja]

that sound.....outstanding..... like a lion's roar....well done....

[@CuciWaterjet]

to call this beautiful is an understatement. stunning work my friend! absolutely stunning!

[@johnsturdavant9273]

Lord how I miss my 76' CJ-40, 350CI >< 355 HP, stolen in 1980. That is a sweet tojo you have there

[@superchargedFJ40]

thank u

[@shanelord5012]

Looks awesome thats what the latest model should have been like but manual trans and i like the original grill etc over the custom one

[@superchargedFJ40]

Deliberately went for the fat stocky look with wheel spacers and 15.5 wide rubber. Touch wood haven't had any issues with police. They see it more as a toy. I have just done New head lights, front and rear bars. Will post new vid

[@guillermolacouture3351]

I have a Toyota land cruiser totally renewed from the year 1982.

[@daymonpancheri8846]

Absolutely Gorgeous FJ40 😍

[@superchargedFJ40]

thanks mate

[@daymonpancheri8846]

@@superchargedFJ40 you’re welcome! I own a White 2014 FJ Cruiser & this vehicle is my dream match to go along with it!

[@raymondyoung4400]

G'day my thought for a 40 series is to have one cut down the middle and widened? then grafted onto a Hummer, Chev, Ford truck running gear, or fabricated custom chassie? maybe lengthened also for a 6x6 conversion, portal axles just some of my idea's

[@istrongfull]

Absolutely beautiful, good job.

[@fernandohernandez9943]

[@gabehartman6832]

Too BEAUTIFUL.

[@z24diego1]

i lovin it, i have one of this 79, fj 40 original, working good. to fix ani parts but is the best

[@superchargedFJ40]

Got the grill made in the US. LA I think. did it over the net. The suspension, steering components, wheel barrings ect was replaced entirely with new stock parts. But the Shocks upgraded It makes the truck very drivable and keps centre of gravity low as its an on rd only truck

[@wasimjaan3300]

Bro this the Fj I want, awesome work, no words for your choice

What a beauty ❤️

[@sbfhawk4343]

Nice engine but I would of done everything I could to make it stick. Sorry its nice though very good looking FJ and I salute you for choosing a V8 Toyota and not some Chevy engine.

[@abramg.maruapula3169]

damn!. that engine sound

[@superchargedFJ40]

The secret to any good exhaust is having the mufflers at the rear

[@superchargedFJ40]

And not going to big on the plumbing. 2 inch to 2.5 is better. This is 2.5

[@troytaylor9228]

I have had two FJ40s and one of the big attractions was that low end crawl and that long stroke six cylinder! It would be interesting to know how that compares off road to the original in a crawl by crawl comparison. Which would stall first?

[@superchargedFJ40]

V8 is torquey, but yes the bigger tyres are taller in gearing, but V8 grunt makes up for it.

[@troytaylor9228]

I see. What about the handling diff? You lost a significant amount of weight up front with that six yanked. How did that effect it in mud and snow and the slick stuff?

[@MrIAmAUser]

Sweetest FJ40 i've seen

[@MrJoul88]

Hey man, that looks awesome! Where do you get that grill? How can I get that? Please upload more video of that fj40.thanks!

[@superchargedFJ40]

it's been upgraded a lot more now. gearbox is Toyota 4 speed auto

[@ethanwilliams4320]

Which exact one?

[@sylvestermusyimi4006]

What gearbox did you use there? And what mods did you have to do to get the four wheel drive working?

[@DavidMGKiza]

Best Fj40 built

[@lillianam.fonseca4374]

Very nice mod, however for my taste I find the tires excesively big regarding the car body dimensions. I mean everything is perfect for the card except the size of the tires. You lost the relation among car body and the tires. Just another opinion. Great job

[@lawrencebell8715]

What a beast

[@onneb90]

what have you done with the Suspension ? and what are the seats out of ? cheers

[@michaelwaters69]

Beautiful ❤

[@sylvestermusyimi4006]

Awesome vehicle! What power steering and radiator have you used?

[@superchargedFJ40]

the FJ had Factory power steering in 1984. The radiator was form the Lexus with the 1UZFE. I have a 1976 FJ40 and I used 75 series power steering

[@noodlesflawed4800]

a credit to you chief keeping it real!

[@asifniazispicekitchen]

Modified with Parado engine and suspension no leaf spring

[@maxytheripper]

does the ride height switch work, if so thats the coolest thing ever, if not still the coolest thing ever.

[@superchargedFJ40]

it does notes. rear air suspension for towing!

[@superchargedFJ40]

*now

[@ubacow7109]

Would be awesome if she rode like a lexus too lol hate how everyone just pops in a LS or something and calls it a day this is real automotive work

[@superchargedFJ40]

William Su a lot of extra work for the quality.. haha and cost, but worth it

[@DjYvesNL]

I'm in the process of putting an 1UZ, a340 (original automatic with the 1uz) and HF2A transfer case. Did you use the original transfer case? I'm having problems with rear driveshaft length and have to shift the motor forwards, away from the firewall. How long is your rear driveshaft?

[@superchargedFJ40]

i did use the original. we had to get some sort of plate engineered. it was the hardest art of the conversion. took several attempts before it worked

[@DjYvesNL]

​@@superchargedFJ40 Hi, Thanks for the reply. Nice ride you got there. After I started fabricating the adapter plate I bought another transfer case that fitted the automatic gearbox. Did you have to move the transfer case rearwards and shorten your rear driveshaft (if so, how long)? Is your engine close to the firewall, or shifted a bit forwards?

[@kalbs89]

Cool, but don’t mess with the Yota grill.

[@superchargedFJ40]

have to get a custom adapter plate made by an engineer then it will fit any transfer Case

[@hectortrejo1198]

In & Around Your Mouth its fucken australia thats why

[@gRosh08]

Well Done!

[@fakenewsdosa6480]

I love to have it it's my passion

Automatic? Really? Is there an advantage or coolness factor to having automatic as opposed to manual?

Beautiful FJ40. What front seats do you have in her? They look awesome.

Man that is well done did u want to swap for my jimmy haha.

[@hassanuddin6923]

Reckon a 1uzfe vvti would sound as good?? Looking at getting an 98> ls400 chopped and shipped over here. Anybody know which transfer box mates to the standard A650e gearbox?? Thanks in advance chaps :D

[@superchargedFJ40]

Hassan Uddin that's the way to go. get the vvti! more power. and a custom exhaust for the note

[@GoNutsButch]

Awesome ride! can I ask if you have been pulled over for the 36" tyres? I thought you could only go 2" above standard wheel diameter? Cheers!

[@superchargedFJ40]

GoNuts Butch bevebeen pulled over in 6 year. Thankfully

[@sanaanjamali3675]

Brother which gear have you mated with the 1UZ would be really nice if you reply

[@superchargedFJ40]

The auto box that came with the 1uzfe. I had some adapter plates a and mounts engineered up to for the motor and box.

[@gmarshall1026]

Had one of these rusted away and stuffed my back

[@leaperv12]

great job, but will you offroad this now ?

[@86Hilux22R]

That is such a noob comment. Go home kid.

[@davetanner2066]

What did you do to mateup the auto to the transfer case

[@superchargedFJ40]

Hey Mate, I had an engineering shop make up an Adaptor Plate. It was very tricky as the oil was leaking out until it was perfected. The oil in the gearbox feeds the TC.

[@adnanlatif1722]

Amazing

[@mariumrajah]

That's lovely

[@finbar4me]

Hey im looking at swapping a 1uz with a manual box into a FJ45, is it hard to do or is it pretty straight forward

[@superchargedFJ40]

need an adaptor engineered. depends on box

[@Mbase-apollo]

it;s pure eye candy.

[@justinyoung4160]

Have you kept it 4x4? What did you do for a transfer case?

[@superchargedFJ40]

hi mate, yes it is 4x4. i have air lockers fitted. used the original transfer case but had an engineering shop make up an adapter late for me to connect it to the Auto box.

[@therepublicofsomaliland4661]

What size is the wheel and tires please I ❤it

[@superchargedFJ40]

Hey buddy, rims are 15x10 and the tyres are very rare 36x15.5 super fat, I don't think they make them anymore

[@factorvr3471]

what transmission you use?

Did u get that automatic transmission or did u change it to automatic

[@superchargedFJ40]

it was changed mate

Хороший аппарат.👍👍👍

dude that's awesome!!! Can you please tell me the lift kit you used!?? I'm new to 4x4 but I drove from Manchester, UK to dhaka Bangladesh in my mkIII 3.5 gdi pajero! Just me and my dog mate, 14 countries 26,000km! found one of these fj40s rotting to death at a government building in Dhaka, said I can buy it for £400 :) need all the info I can get to resurrect the old bird!

[@superchargedFJ40]

Hassan Uddin actually no lift kit at all. cut the guards :) keeping the centre of gravity Lower is the way to go. it handles very well

[@superchargedFJ40]

Hassan Uddin the secret is just getting all new bushes and joints for the factory componants

[@phoenix546]

ohhhh muma thats a sweet rig

what transfer case set up are you running off the stock 1uz trans?

[@superchargedFJ40]

ulises ramirez the original, but with a custom made adaptor plate to the new auto gear box

[@sylvestermusyimi4006]

Any link to the adapter plate mod? Would be quite useful, I'm doing same conversion on my Fj40.

[@jackdrag6809]

what transmission and transfer case u use in this car?

[@superchargedFJ40]

The Toyota 4 speed auto and the original transfer case with a custom adaptor plate

[@kyleroe2665]

everything about this is mint apart from that god awful grill, the stock bib with headlight bezel looks way better and is a signature part of the fj40's design

[@superchargedFJ40]

I wanted it to be different. I love it but it does take away the classic look

MUITO linda parabéns

[@maxevans2511]

Hey mate would you be able to tell me what rims and tires those are, also what is that radio.

[@superchargedFJ40]

Max Evans yeah buddy. I think they don't make these tyres anymore but they are Mickey Thompson MTZ, 36x15.5 . that's why they look cool, fat 15.5 inches! stereo also isn't made anymore. Kenwood

[@superchargedFJ40]

Max Evans rims are 15x12, can't remember the brand. allied maybe
