Hey T4R,
I'm mostly on MUD, but thought I'd share my vehicle here as well. If you're interested, my built thread is-
https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/my-uzj40-build-2uz-iforce-v8-and-a750f-5spd-auto.835190/
I believe this is the only 2UZ FJ40 in the world using the 5 speed auto behind it. The wiring was a nightmare and took hours of research, but it was all worth it. It runs great, and has been a blast to drive! She has about 3,200 miles so far. I completed the build myself over the course of 5 years. I did everything but the bodywork. Here are a few pics in chronological order. This is maybe 5% of the pictures in my thread, but it's a good starting point!
Day I bought it in Portland, OR
Tearing it down
Sand blasted frame-
Tub and panels all got sand blasted-
Cement Gray paint curing-
6 coats total (3 underside, 3 inside) Sound insulation, heat insulation, and bed liner-
Custom center console-
Custom dash pieces-
Assembly-
Engine in-
Assembled in our new garage-
Engine bay-
