    Quick question - engine damage

    So a BJ40 has popped up semi-local to me. The seller reports the following: I'm going to give the mechanic a call on Monday but am kinda spitballing in my mind what may be wrong before I take the 2+ hr drive to see it. It looks/sounds like the rest of it is in decent condition, he's asking...

    Wanted WTB: 60 series in the SE (GA)

    Bumping this up, not even a nibble. Would potentially be interested in a late 90s-early 00s 4Runner. Price and condition is flexible (okay, nothing that is a total rust-box).

    Wanted  WTB: 60 series in the SE (GA)

    I almost have my wife convinced we need an FJ60 (even have my father-in-law in on the pitch). Help me find the right one. Would like to be in the $5-6k range. Could definitely go up for the perfect truck. Has to have working AC, diesel would be a plus (obviously with a higher price), but we...

    For Sale 1986 Hj60 For Sale

    Since it is a Canadian market vehicle I am pretty sure it meets the requirements for importation (you would want to check with an importer though). From what I understand/what my research said - it can get in if it is >25 years old OR if it is a USA/Canada market vehicle. This gets in under...

    Questions about shipping internationally/buying long-distance

    Oh, I have read all the importing threads. Like I said, its not the importing that I'm worried about, its the getting it here/to the border. The seller isn't being super-responsive (after I asked for frame pics), so this may be a moot point after all. Hopefully I will hear something soon. If...

    Questions about shipping internationally/buying long-distance

    The owner is asking $5500 for the 2 (one running, one not) HJ60s. I figured I could probably make almost all of my shipping/importing fees back by selling parts off the non-running truck (even more if I can get the engine firing). And yeah, driving is not really an option at this point, hence...

    Questions about shipping internationally/buying long-distance

    The only things holding me back: 1) I don't know enough about diesel engines to make a decision about its road-worthiness (beyond looking at the frame and saying "Isn't rusted through") 2) I don't want to waste a flight if it isn't road worthy 3) I would still need to rent something to...

    Questions about shipping internationally/buying long-distance

    Okay, found a couple of HJ60's (one running/daily driver condition, one not running) in interior BC. I live in Portland, OR and am seriously considering purchasing them. I figured the folks in the diesel section of mud would have the most experience doing either of these things (and I honestly...

    Wanted FJ/BJ/HJ 60 in OR/WA

    I'm hoping for the Skiing in Whistler => Diesel LC combo :clap: I'm unsure about the MB diesels as far as power goes for towing a small trailer up the mountains, which we will be doing on occasion. But its worth looking into if I can find the right FJ60 to start with.

    Wanted FJ/BJ/HJ 60 in OR/WA

    Hoping to find something I don't need to immediately replace the frame. Of course the list of HJ60's in the US is probably pretty short...

    Wanted FJ/BJ/HJ 60 in OR/WA

    After looking at all the things we want...we limited ourselves to an HJ60 really. Definitely willing to drive up to WA/Lower BC if we find the right vehicle.

    Wanted  FJ/BJ/HJ 60 in OR/WA

    Looking for a '60. Currently in Portland, but willing to drive for the right truck (heck, I can make a trip up to BC if I could find what I want up there). Needs: AC (no AC is a deal breaker - the wife and I are pansies) 4x4 Diesel (HJ preferred over BJ) Wants: Manual (H55F preferred)...

    Wife's 2003 Toyota Corolla - computer update?

    Talked to two dealers and toyota customer care - the customer care lady said that if this code is being thrown the repair manual says that they are supposed to reflash the computer and replace the catalytic converter. When I talked to customer care they said that we had to take it to a dealer...

    Wanted Decent FJ62 without brown interior - PDX

    You aren't kidding - it was gone in a flash. The wife and I are even watching Vancouver CL to see if we might snag a BJ/HJ from up there. I will keep my eyes open for the FJ for you.

    Wife's 2003 Toyota Corolla - computer update?

    Okay, so my wife's '03 Corolla has about 103k miles on it and since about 80k has been intermittently throwing Code P0420: Catalyst system efficiency below threshold (Bank #1). I know that it means there are four possible causes: leak in the exhaust system, faulty sensor before the cat, faulty...

    Wanted Decent FJ62 without brown interior - PDX

    I have seen a FJ60 or 62 in the IHOP parking lot on 82nd a couple of times recently with a for sale sign in the window. My wife and I are looking for a diesel or I would be able to provide more info (we stopped and looked at it, but seeing it was a gasser she moved along pretty quickly). I am...

    Question about Imported Vehicles (NOT about importing vehicles)

    I like the 40 series-they are one of the best looking truck/SUV's ever and my wife and I have both always wanted one, now we are getting one. I want a BJ because I love diesels, longevity and mileage, and will convert it to waste vegetable oil. I am an amateur wrench, but have never really...
