Rebuild the original engine, don’t LS swap it, even though I’m a huge LS fan. Put new tires, suspension and odds and ends that it needs. Don’t reinvent the wheel on this one, just fix what’s wrong and keep it close to original as your able to. The value will grow as long as you keep it original and don’t screw with adding the latest junk on it.

@@harrywalker968 all manufacturers copy each other since time has begun. It sounds like u don’t like GM engines? I don’t care either way, but they do build some good and some not so good like all other manufacturers. My comment is to leave it original, In todays time everyone wants to always personalize their vehicles, I get that. However finding original vehicles and leaving them alone is just worth more. I have had my more then fair share and time working on Vehicles for years now. When I go to shows, I look at the original versions more so then the modified variants. I enjoy on how things used to be, and the effort it takes to keep these vehicles in original type condition. Because I know what it takes, hence my 69 C10 sits mostly original…

Reminds me of years 4-wheeling with friend who had an FJ40. A couple of things--you can't drive them "easy" through mud, etc.--they are too heavy and, with open diffs, will get stuck every time. Unlike most any other current 4WD, one has to hit such stuff with some momentum, confident that there is just about nothing that will break on the FJ40. Another FJ40 oddity that most people don't know--its crawl ratio in first gear low range is only about 25:1. It can still perform well with that "meek" of a crawl ratio because the Toyota straight six (a Japanese metric knockoff of the old Chevrolet "stovebolt" straight six from the 1940s-1950s) has such massive low RPM torque. You also see the main running pitfall of the 1973+ FJ40--fuel system issues with emission strangled engine. The earlier FJ40s did not have those issues, but also only came with a 3-speed column shift manual transmission. There was also no way to ride comfortably in them. My friend finally sold his FJ40 when he started having lower back problems, partly from how awful the FJ rode.

Growing up our family used to take these 40s wheeling all the time. We had some fj40s (gas) and bj40s (diesel), they are a ton of fun and super overbuilt. Ls would be the most practical and fun swap, lots of power all over the curve, no carb to burp or stall, much lighter than the stock LC engine and actually better mpg. 2.8 or 4bt would also be cool, but probably more difficult/expensive. Power would be okay(depends on tuning) but narrower curve relative to a gasser. 6bt would make it too nose heavy and too much torque for stock drivetrain. Look forward to more content on this rig, 40s are awesome!

We did a lot of miles and went many different places and it never let us down or broke anything. The whole top half rear section (including windows) and fibreglass roof can be easily unbolted and removed, which is what we used to do for summer open air driving. I suspect your engine has some broken piston rings or possibly even a cracked piston.

The worst mistake people make with the older fj 40's or fj 45's is replacing the engine with a v8, or a diesel. Keep the six banger in it and it will never let you down and will always get you home, maybe slow but it will get you home. I drove my fj40 out of the desert once after the points broke, jury rigged with a piece of wire and rubber bands. That was the longest 20 mile drive over mostly flat ground I ever made, stopped at the first auto parts store and bought 2 point sets for the glove box. I wish I had never sold that cruiser now.

@@edwardpeters4700 350 has more down low than any Ls ...... straight 6 is the best for low end torque they say... I dunno 350 is cheap reliable and parts are everywhere and you can get a injected one if ya want... only downside is the mileage but you can buy a ton of gas for the amount of money for the other options

Here is a challenge for you.. Look for the original Suzuki Jimny, it's a 2 stroke 4x4 .. It will go anywhere a modern 4x4 can go.

Keep that 2F engine running if you can. Get an ARB compressor and air lockers front and rear and see if you can get David to scrounge up some scrap tubing and weld up some new bumpers and sliders. Oh, and new leafs, shocks, shackles, and hangers. Should only be about.$10k worth of parts. That's all. 😅

After watching all these trucks get stuck, I think the take away is that the Mule is an off road beast.

Many years ago, I had a 1968 FJ40. It was pretty sparse on modern tech and creature comforts. But it was 'bullet proof' and went anywhere I pointed it. I went more places and had more fun in the Land Cruiser for several years. Really though, I much prefer my lightly modified 2018 4Runner OFF ROAD Premium. I've owned Jeeps, Scouts, Broncos and numerous other 4X4s. They all have their stronger points and weaker points. There is no perfect or best 4X4.

Stop the rust, ring the engine (probably just burned up the rings from the carb float sticking) and put in a rear ARB locker. Single-stage paints, keep the steelies and freshen up the interior and you've quadrupled its value, at least.

Fantastic. My buddy had a diesel version. Crawled over anything.
