And Toyota advertised the FJ40 to be able to cruiser at 85 mph all day with 7 grown men inside
somehow i just can't see that happening in a 40ty.

Get a new dash from this guy http://fj40dash.com, then you can hit it with a hammer, miss and get a new windshield too!
yawn. Needs storage.
Finally got some video from the drive up I-70 to Georgetown a couple weeks ago. I didn't get a video of Mt. Vernon Canyon (drat):

Registered 55-60 mph (actual 60-65 mph I'm pretty sure with 31" tires) on a 6% grade, going up from 6000 feet.
Let the snail races begin!

That sounds great Matt. I wish my 40 would do that! My list of 40 projects grows faster than my son. With 31s on, my 40's speedo is very close to right on when I pass through the radar speed trailers.

Matt, with your speedo broken, your gauge looks EXACTLY like mine...I need to get together with you and do a little brain storming...I'm jealous of the power you have up those hills...

Matt, I just noticed I lost my rubber grommet like you did in the first picture! Mine wasn't as washed out as yours though. I had read this thread a few months ago and was bummed because you mentioned that SOR didn't have the part. I looked on MUD after this and found a post you made that mentioned you think part number 61 is the actual grommet that the torque rod goes through! So, ordered and thanks for your due diligence!
I would be scared to death to drive my 40 at anywhere near the speeds you guys drive at. Slow and steady. 55-60 is my tops.
Im running a Troll Hole carb, and it really helped with power especially on the low end.
Im pretty sure my secondary is working, I know how it drove when it wasn't working, but Im still going to try the paper clip trick. Good hint.

Nice. I like my light switch where it is, but I will have a tach one day! Your 77 is a lot quieter than mine rolling on 33x12.5 MTs is at those speeds. When my speedo reads ~63-64ish Mr. Sat Nav says I'm doing 70 and that I pulled from 70 to 80 up a 4% grade tonight in 5th gear on the way back from Nashville. Very pleased to see that. 
I have no idea what the compression is on my motor, but it was blue printed and balanced 18K ago and people have told me it's peppier than their 2fs. What is considered good compression numbers on a 2f?

150 PSI at sea level is what the factory says. 130 or so down in Denver is pretty good.
