Howdy all. Seems like we have a nice sized group of NOCO/SOWY folks. I live in Loveland, CO. I recently purchased a 1987 FJ60. I have a couple seasons of wheeling under my belt, but now my newest nemesis is Repairs. I am excited about getting my hands dirty, bu a lot of the future projects seem a bit daunting. I have my FSMs and am starting to acquire my tools. I hope that some of you local guys might be able to join together and walk me through some of the more difficult times. I want to be the one getting dirty, just need a set of trained eyes. For your time and efforts I will offer beer and food. I am a Chef here in NOCO, so what I lack in wrenching skills I more than make up for in culinary expertise. Hope to see some of you soon... IE the next meeting.

Looking forward to meeting you at the next meeting.

I am wondering what repairs your 60 needs?

Just started the axle rebuild. I had to replace the calipers and rotors, so I decided I would take the opportunity to rebuild the axles, as the driver side hub was definitely contaminated with diff fluid. Its going along pretty well, I dont have a ton of experience with a wrench, but Mud and my FSMs seem to be doing the trick. In the near future... front and rear seals, belts, hoses, carb rebuild( I will be sending this one out) more than likely new fuel, and water pumps, and then some mods.... first being the OME 4" Hvy/Hvy...

I just had to get rid of my 08 Trail Teams FJ, but the 60 is getting me through the hard times. Man I love LC'sI am hoping to be at the next meeting in August.
