I was wondering if you people could give me some advice. I own a 83 60, or should I say my wife owns a 83 60. we bought it last year and she loves it more than her 03 Dakota quad cab she had. A guy from work has a 89 fj that he got from another guy, it isn't running but we know why, it was worked on by this idiot that doesn't know any thing about cruisers. My wife and I went to look at it and it is perfect condition 186000 on it. It ran good for Lance untill he let someone mess with it. power everything automatic trans. Should I offer him 1500 for it or what. I paid 5000 for the 83 with 16000 on a rebuilt. What kind of mpg would you expect to get with stock tires? my wifes has 3 inch shakels and 31" tires. how is the 89 for pulling my 17 foot fiberform boat with 140 hp evinrude, the boat isn't that heavy.
Snag that Cruiser now if you feel like you know what's wrong. Also, join the 3FE email list if you have questions (3FE is the motor in the '89): http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/3FE/
You'll get about the same mileage as your 60, maybe a little better. It'll pull your boat just fine. That tranny was designed for a bus and is way overbuilt.
Also, visit the 60-series tech section here on MUD. LOTs of good info there....
