    For Sale  87 FJ60 with front end damage

    I have an 87 FJ60 with ~120 miles. It was recently "totaled"by insurance company after I was driving down the road and hit by another vehicle. The damage was estimated at 5500 and therefore insurance has deemed it a total loss. I have been negotiating with them for several weeks and have gone...

    Bummer... any advice on dealing with insurance company?

    As I am going thru this process, I will add a comment on this thread. It is a great idea and will definitely help others if they have to go thru this. However, what the insurance companies want is sales price - not asking prices. The asking price is not going to help. In addition to the actual...

    Back seat shoulder belts question

    Mine did not have shoulder belts and my understanding is that none of them did. Some have holes in the body where they can be installed. I did a write up years ago when I installed mine -

    Bummer... any advice on dealing with insurance company?

    Good news for today - the adjuster thinks its worth fixing! they feel like they can do the body work, deal with oil pan, the leaf springs,etc - so she is off to a body shop Now just have my fingers crossed that when she gets up on the lift, there is not more serious damage and they call it off...

    Bummer... any advice on dealing with insurance company?

    Appreciate the input - so your case is not settled? Was your truck driveable? Did you just have it towed back to your house? i figure when they low ball me, I can still bring it home and either part it out and make more than they'd give me or try to rebuild it over time with used parts - or...

    Bummer... any advice on dealing with insurance company?

    Im probably not alone when I say that in owning my 87 for over 12 years now, my worst nightmare is someone hitting me. Unfortunately, I did not wake up. Everyone is ok but Big Red is not in good shape. Took the impact in the passenger front wheel well - drove the axle into -and shearing the...

    87' FJ60 Power Steering pump

    I removed the entire bracket - with the pump in it - there are 3 bolts as mentioned its a tight squeeze to get them all - but still much easier than that bolt that hits the manifold then afterwards, I cut that back bolt in 1/2 so that in the future it could be removed if needed without...

    Help with igniter/coil electrical connections

    Thanks Jim - this has been incredibly helpful The rotor does indeed turn slowly when trying to start. So does that mean the dissy is ok?

    Help with igniter/coil electrical connections

    well, I now have sparks with the new coil and the old ignitor. However, I still can't start. When I take the wires from the coil into the new dizzy and spin it, I do get sparks. When I have it plugged into the existing dizzy, I have no sparks when I turn the rotor a little by hand OR when I...

    Help with igniter/coil electrical connections

    That was a great test Jim There is nothing like the anticipation of running a good trouble shooting test the outcome was no spark so I have a used coil but not an ignitor is it worth using my old ignitor with the new/used coil??? Or is it always the ignitor itself that fails??

    Help with igniter/coil electrical connections

    I already have the used dizzy and have cleaned it up and its ready to go - its just more intimidating (for me anyway) to replace the dizzy then it is to plug in a new ignitor. SO to make sure I understand this, the coil will NOT produce a spark (even if it and the coil are fine) if the...

    Help with igniter/coil electrical connections

    Talk to me. No, I'm not sure. I'm fairly certain the coil/ignitor is not working because it is getting voltage yet when I take off the ignition wire which leads to the dizzy and hold it against a bolt and try to start, there is no spark from it. I've checked the fuses, links, grounds, etc...
