    G Shackles on a 60?

    I’m partial to greasable pins. . . What about the bushings, are they polyurethane or rubber?

    FJ60 Alternator - Couple of Questions

    This is an AC-DELCO alternator, the voltage regulator has been removed at the top. I don’t recall if the replacement has an internal regulator.

    FJ60 Alternator - Couple of Questions

    1. Yes 2. Hmm, Duralast could be suitable, verify the orientation matches, check voltage regulator at 11 o’clock (looking from front of engine), verify the cables at battery are clean and connections are snug. 3. Easy, you’ve done the starter, which is underbelly work and the alt. is topside...

    Heat riser Block off plate

    It looks like 4mm on the original assembly. Or slightly less than 3/16 inch = 7 gauge steel. HTH

    Coolant bubble / burping question

    The tee is at the highest point of the cooling system, so if it is topped off and sealed* the proper function of the radiator cap and overflow bottle should purge any air.

    Fj60 clutch issues

    You could check the clutch release (aka slave) cylinder for leaks / ruptured seals.

    1989 FJ62 won't start!

    Starter, most likely. Check to be certain the wires at battery and starter are clear of corrosion and snug at fasteners.

    FJ62 No Heat and It’s our 1 year anniversary

    I would not use the muriatic acid. Is there a tee coupling (not factory) on the heater hose that runs over the rear top of the engine near the firewall? This is an FJ62 right?

    FJ62 No Heat and It’s our 1 year anniversary

    ^^ this. Then it becomes the dreaded heater core. My experience is similar- great heat from cabin heat, meh, from dash / defrost.

    Floor patch ideas

    Here are some photos of the repairs done on my 60. Prep with 80 or 120 grit flap wheel on dremel tool, tedious but the metal is formed and not flat. This is the second time I’ve done this. The bottom of the A-pillar was clogged and did not drain (thanks to the mice nest that resided there from...

    Engine came back from a rebuild at the machine shop with the parts that failed - what could have caused this?

    Do you know which pistons these are- 3 + 4 ? are closest to the center of the inline 6 and could have been ‘washed’ by excess fuel draining from the carburetor.

    Need to replace my 86 60's radiator - any recommendations?

    CSF 2708 for over 10 years, maybe quality control and assurance has roller-coasted since then.

    Tailgate latch electric connection

    Cool, I have gone through my switch and it definitely works, sprays washer fluid but the wiper is hit or miss.

    Tailgate latch electric connection

    That connection is present on both 60 and 62, red wire with yellow white stripe. Perhaps it grounds the latch in order to allow the wiper and washer to function? My rear wiper on the 60 has intermittent behavior and when I went to look at the connection it was loose- I believe you’ve helped me...

    Also wires run to rear wiper motor.

    1983 FJ60 Stalling and Now Won't Start

    Also check the spark plug wires are within spec for resistance.

    1983 FJ60 Stalling and Now Won't Start

    And check the sight glass window on the front of the carburetor to verify fuel is being delivered. Edit: the fuel level should be at the mid-point of the round sight glass.

    Headlight rock guards yes or no ?

    Yes to the rock guards. The windshield is entirely another matter. 🙄

    Some assembly required

    The memories of playing golf at Rich Acres on December 12 will always be hilarious! It was torn up to make another runway at MSP airport.
