So I was retorqueing the wheel bearings in my 60 and I came across something interesting.
While chatting with Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters he mentioned the torque values being 6-12lbs (rolling friction + 6-12lbs).
In my 1984 FSM it states 0.9 - 7.3 for the the same thing (page FA-15). I called him...
Hi Everyone,
I'm putting everything back together after a clutch job in my 60 (w/a SBC).
There is a black wire /w white stripe (see pic) coming off the harness that goes to the transfer case and back to the tranny and I cant remember where it goes.
It's all black where it comes to the ring...
So, I've done a V8 conversion in an 86 60 using the Mark's adapter and I'm thinking going to a manual adjusted slave cylinder for the clutch. Should I do that?
The post 1985 60s have an automatic slave cylinder, but I was wondering if anyone has experience in modifying it to manual. I know I...
I've got a brand new Ron Davis Aluminum Radiator new in the box for sale.
Same one as sold at Man A Fre for $680 + tax and their outrageous shipping costs.
Asking $550.00 plus shipping.
I'd rather take a small loss and pass it on to a mudder than just return it.
Either reply, email me at...
So I'm midway through my 4Runner caliper upgrade and I reached a snag.
When I went to finish the drivers side i noticed the pins that go through the pads to the anti-rattle spring were too short. The other side was just fine.
I got the calipers from Toyota and they said the shipment was...
Looking for the plastic rear seatbelt covers for the fully retractable rear seatbelts in a 62.
Preferably in grey. These are in the pillar.
I check email more often than the mud forum.

So I did a SBC (TBI) swap a while back and I'm considering going with an Aluminum Rad and I wanted to see if anyone who has done the same has feedback on the difference between the stock rad and the alum. V8 replacement.
I notice I run at normal thermostat temp when the outside temp is 80F or...
So I've been dealing with chattery wipers for a while and just broke down and got a set of OEM screw on blades and they still chatter!
I'm thinking it might be spring tension, but there isn't an adjustment I could see.
Maybe replacing the springs, but Toyota probably wants me to buy a couple...
I was up at Mudraks today and one of Gary's customers brought in his HJ60 with a strange noise.
This is the rear axle with HUGE grooves worn in the housing from the U bolts.
It was the same on both sides and ALMOST all the way through the tube!
I dunno 'bout you, but I,m going to retorque...
I finished the install of a 5.7L TBI 350 (from a 1990 chevy 1/2 ton truck) into my 86 60 and I'm trying to troubleshoot a surging idle issue.:crybaby:
I'm using a bored tbi from XtremeFI, and I'm waiting on an adjustable TPS to see if it will help, but I'd like to find a good diagnostic...
All right, I'm trying to iron out the bugs on the TBI 350 swap.
I THOUGHT the yel'wht wire that came off the Toyota alt was the one I needed to use to get my charge light to work, but so far, no dice.
I'm using a CS-130 Chevy alt with the 4 pin plug and the "L" terminal needs to go to a...
Hey all,
Thought I'd post a pic of my upper radiator hose set up.
On my TBI engine I used a mid 80s water neck off a van since it had the larger sensor hole. I used the AA adapter to fit the stock LC temp sender (the TBI intake manifold has the CTS sensor). Then I used a 90 degree 1 1/2 inch...
I've wired my CS130 alternator using the yellow/white wire from the toyota harness to the L terminal on the chevy pigtail for my charging light, and a 4 awg. wire straight to the battery.
Here is my question:
On the Toyota harness there is a ring terminal with 2 heavy gauge white wires (see...
After having my 60 in the garage of almost a year for and engine swap I've forgotten which wire was the tach wire!
There are 3 wires running into the tach.
Blk, Red, and Blk/Yellow
I'm hooking it up to a TBI coil, and the pink wire goes to IGN and the Wht wire goes to Tach, so which one...
I'm getting ready to weld in my AA engine mounts on a SBC 350 with an AA adapter going to an H55 tranny and the drivers side seems to be about 1/2 inch higher than the passenger side. It may just be from the hoist mounting points but I thought I should ask first.
Should the mounts be level with...
This one goes out to those of you who've done the AA (Marks) SBC to Toyota MT installation using their bell housing. I've got an 86 60 and I'm going to replace the clutch slave cylinder and soft hose when I do the swap. In the AA manual, the instructions show adjusting the slave cylinder push...
I need to buy some exhaust manifolds/headers for my TBI 350 swap and I need some recommendations and feedback on what will and wont fit.
I've been told the stock TBI 350 truck manifolds wont fit, and I can either go with a different type of stock chevy manifold that dumps down the center...
Hi everyone,
I've been posting up on gathering parts for my TBI 350 swap in my 86 60 and one of us posted up a warning that they weren't able to have the ref sign off on the swap since CHEVY/GMC trucks and vans with a 5.7L (350cid) engine were never sold with a manual transmission between 1987...
