After blowing up my engine in Sand Hollow Utah, I found an engine from a wrecked 4Runner to go into my FJ Cruiser, that only had 40,000 miles on it! I wasn't 100% it would work, but it turns out that this is a perfectly compatible swap! And most importantly, my FJ is up and running again!

Looking slim Ken. The Rubicon should be an excellent shake down run for the new engine.

@protacodan3800 Год назад

Nice to see you back and the FJ working again. Your looking quite healthy, good for you. Hope all is good on the Rubicon, we’re going in September now. Keep us updated. Happy Trails.

@offroadhub.official Год назад

Thanks Dan! I hope to see you there in September! There were a lot of Toyotas there that had planned on being at Rubithon.

Congrats on the new engine going in and running strong! That first turn of the key is always the moment of truth. Hopefully, knock on wood… my 2007 won’t ever need the engine swapped! Thanks for posting!🤘😎🤘

Holycrap Ken you looking great! Interesting algorythm note: I haven't actually watched one of your vids in a couple years, but as soon as I typed "of" youtube autofilled offroad hub as the top hit.

Hey Ken. Wanted to say that your videos have been an inspiration to me! Was starting to get worried when I hadn't seen you post for a few months, and glad to see your focus has been on your shop and your family in a recent response you posted. Thanks for all the content you posted and look forward to seeing more if you do start making content again.

I haven't seen a video in a while - since you opened up the new shop. The shop must be keeping you very busy cause you have lost a lot of weight. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to your Rubicon video as I have a friend who is also heading that way in a couple of weeks to do the same thing.

I think the only other blown FJ motor I recall hearing about was a teenage girl that didn't put oil in her FJ. Congrats. You are in good company. You managed to abuse your FJ, in a way only a teenager could. 😆 On the bright side, for all us FJ owners, seems to be a pretty rare event, and now we all know why that bubble on the dash does not go to 45 degrees.

@harrywalker968 9 месяцев назад

funny, thats quit common for women.. too damn busy looking good.. on the side of the road.. my sis did it, sold it to a friend, no oil,, south main auto, woman brought car in rattling,,no oil.. IT HAS A HOOD & A DAMN STIK..

@ralphmoran 9 месяцев назад

Holy cow! Great video. Something similar I'm dealing with at this point. I bought a 2012 FJ Cruiser AT 4WD with 64k miles. I bought it from Copart, it's crash on the front, so, I need to change everything. I was wondering that I need to take the engine out just to check the transmission but it seems to be fine. Question, do you have any other video where you disconnect everything that I can watch or you can guide me on fixing it?

Straight pipes with a tiny muffler. Jba short headers.

Is the oil filter by pass reliable? I'm thinking of doing that on my 4.7L 4Runner as the aftermarket skid pan makes oil changes a PITA.

@offroadhub.official Год назад

I haven't had any issues with the oil bypass. It's custom made, so you'd have to work with somebody to get it done.

So I can swap any year 1GR-FE on 07 fj?

@offroadhub.official 11 месяцев назад

No. I have a 2010 FJ which came with the dual vvt, the 07-09 FJ's have single vvt, so you'd have to stick with that type of 1GR-FE. Same basic engine, different cylinder heads.

@diciplinex7407 10 месяцев назад

@@offroadhub.officialthanks for reply! Hey I don’t know other way of contacting you but I recently bought 07 fj , has bilstein 5100 front and 5160 in rear , fj looks a lot taller than other 3” fjs on pictures, when I lift the fj on jack and front wheels are in air they don’t freespin because axles bind up , I thought this was odd and bought limiting straps that I will probobly install, have you ever experienced this issue or maybe I have strut spacers on top of bilsteins causing bad angle on axles ? Also what axles would you recomend to buy , thanks and sorry for long question
