With A Little Help From Doug, We Did A “Same Day Engine Swap” On My Toyota Landcruiser FJ40.

Doug swoops in again and lends a hand. This time it was removing the oil burning 2F in favor of a random FB marketplace motor. This took all day, and I didn’t sleep much the night before. So bare with me on the content, just keeping you wonderful wizards up to speed!

Glad you got the new motor in. Hoping to get out on the trails soon with you. And if you’re ever thinking “should I spray paint this” the answer is of course yes. Keep it fresh and rust free, in my opinion

[@projectwrongway9127]

Hopefully within a week or so!

[@mathiaslindstedt975]

Awesome, good job. Can’t wait to see the TLC on the road again. Whish you the best! 👍👏👏👏😎🍻

She’s getting there, need to get out behind the wheel more.

[@landcruiserFJ40]

Well done guys, glad it went well and that Doug was able to lend a hand.

[@projectwrongway9127]

Without Doug, it would have been the typical mess…

[@donnareed3822]

What a good friend. I hope it all works for you

[@projectwrongway9127]

He’s the best.

I hope it works, just imagining having 2 project cars going at once makes my head hurt. In the past I've run 2 random Craigslist motors in 2 different cars and had incredible luck with both.

[@projectwrongway9127]

I think it’s my ADHD that helps keep multiple projects afloat.

Good job mate. Slow and steady wins the race 👍unless you're SVG showing you guys how to win Nascar 😉 if you want to help an Aussie out, I'll trade you some number plates for one of your spare Power Steer brackets?

[@projectwrongway9127]

Can you send me a message, possibly on Instagram? Then I can get your address.

@@projectwrongway9127 cheers boss. I've sent you an inbox

[@projectwrongway9127]

Keep after me, I’ll get you that part, just need your address.

4:40 to 5:10...He never opened any of that... Sounds like "Project Charlie Way"... Doug will know

[@projectwrongway9127]

If you can’t see it, it can’t hurt you.

You have a transmission swap in my future… sooner the better

[@projectwrongway9127]

What trans?! 5spd?

[@lazlosfj40garage58]

@@projectwrongway9127 I should have said I have one - but just a normal 4 speed

[@projectwrongway9127]

Mines a 4spd… but a five would be fancy.

@@projectwrongway9127 I am in Panama right now and you see tons of running FJ45s in use. I am keeping my eyes out for the one's for sale. I know of two FJ40s sitting in someone's yard melting into the ground...

[@projectwrongway9127]

Hate to see it.

[@stoneshrink]

Um... same day... in your Bronco shock video, your FJ40 was sitting outside without a motor in it..... and now I don't believe anything about anything...

[@projectwrongway9127]

It was still in there, just a bunch removed. Psh. I meant the engine came out, and the new one went in, on the very same day.
