    In the Market - A Little Advice

    You guys aren't telling me what I want to hear! I did sell my 60, and my motorbike for a total of $6,300. I guess I'm not to excited to trade in my toys for a minivan. I'm not trying to justify that I deserve to get a new rig, and I guess I'm regretting selling my 60 of I don't replace it. I...

    In the Market - A Little Advice

    Ok, I have been looking patiently in a 300 mile radius and now I am having alternative thoughts. As I said before, getting a $4,500-$5,000 80 is my current plan. I currently have a daily driver Honda that gets 25-30 mpgs. My car is worth about $5,000. If I sold my car, then I could get a...

    craigslist  1997 with low miles in Atlanta

    This one looks great. A little above my budget and a little to far away. Maybe someone should go check it out. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/ctd/3588844595.html

    In the Market - A Little Advice

    Thanks to all. I am definitely leaning more toward a 95-97 for the OBD2. However, a few I have called on around here either have a small oil leak or a leaky power steering. What percentage of these trucks have some sort of leak at this point, being 15-20 years old?

    In the Market - A Little Advice

    Thanks for all of your input. I have worried about the lack of power in the 3FE. My brother in law has a 93 Runner and that thing almost gets run over by itself. I guess power and a newer vehicle may in fact be more important in the long run, especially if I'm only going to use it for a few...

    In the Market - A Little Advice

    After selling my 60 about 8 months ago I'm now in the market for an 80. I wanted to make the transition due to a need for better A/C, a more comfortable ride and room for a growing family. My budget is $4,500. This will not be a daily driver, but a camping/hunting vehicle I hope to have for...

    Taking the 60 to College

    I went to college in Rexburg, but that was also my hometown. Was there until 2005. Didn't buy my first cruiser until I moved to Oklahoma and now I don't have any mountains to drive in. That's life though right? Good luck with college. I agree with the above advice and would add having some...

    Expedition trailer made from FJ40 tub

    I bought one of those 13 lb propane tank and love it. It's the perfect size for throwing in the back of your rig or mounting on a trailer.

    Another "what should I pay for it" thread

    X2!! I got a great deal on mine, but it has some rust. Wish I would have spent more time and a little more money to get one rust free. Crawl underneath and pull up the carpet if need be to check the entire thing over for rust. Nothing is worth $6k if it has rust.

    Should I Buy This?

    I just called a local mechanic shop for an estimate an a head gasket job for this, thinking if it wasn't too much then I wouldn't have to do it myself. He said he recommends putting in a used motor instead because there is no way of telling what type of damage the engine block sustained before...

    Valve Adjustment Trouble

    Where you start depends on which direction the distributor arrow is pointing. The best is to start with the distributor pointing toward the distributor output for spark plug #1 then follow the valve numbers listed in the Haynes manual. If you didn't remove your distributor cap to check this you...

    sloppy steering

    I've got the same problem. Started off with the death wobble, so I replaced tie rod/drag link ends, new steering damper and tires rotated. Got rid of the wobble, but now my steering is worse than ever. Adjusted the steering box a little bit, but worried about tightening down too much that I blow...
