SK,

Thanks a lot you have solved my big problem, before this i have heard 100 stories about OBD-I and OBD-II, bla bla bla.
I think i will go for OBD-I, reason dont wana spend some extra thousands and i think this one will easily go along with our local ustads.
Visit BG yesterday and i found 100s of 1uzees out there in perfect and complete condition.,
Next week have plans to go for final shopping for engine and gear.

At present i am working on e-locker diffs and expected to have them ready from workshop by tmr noon.
Once suspension is ready will put in the engine and gear.

Any sugguestions during this process are welcomed.

p.s pls check your inbox and reply me for adaptor plate.

You can get the hardtop from Gulzar Ustad or Jamil Ustad at Citi Sadar Road. You should be able to get a clean FJ40/FJ60/FJ70 5 speed gearbox from various people in Rawalpindi. Will PM you my number if you don't have it, let me know if you needany help.

Fouadar I am assuming you have visited BG lahore market for engines and parts recently. Who would you recommend for 1KZ-T and 5 Speed manual gear box in Lahore? I am looking this setup for my FJ40, 1982. It has 2F with 4 speed currently.
If you could please pm me their number.

Regards,

fouadar (fouadar) 2013-02-26 05:16:43 +0500 #19

Dear we usually buy engines from ch. Shafaqat, I will pm you his numbers.
Secondly we buy gears from a molvi sb who deals in only kalbi gears you can also ask for him when you are in BG.
He shop is in basement.
