Newbie here in need of some advice.... (1 Viewer)

First off this is a awesome forum and I'm glad I ran across it while I was searching for info on FJ-60's. I just bought this 85 Fj-60 4 weeks ago and love it.

I did notice a exhaust leak a couple day's ago and was wondering if there is anything I can do myself. I really have never worked on cars other than changeing my oil. I do have
some tools just not the know how. If I were to take it to a shop how much cuold I expect
to spend on a exhaust leak? Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.
By the way I am in the Winston Salem,NC Greensboro,NC area.

Thanks,

Michael

It's right where the exhaust bolts on to the manifold.

Is your truck parked on a carpet inside an office building or am I seeing things

Yes, doughnut is a cheap fix at a shop or nearly free if ya do it yourself

I suppose it could be a dealership showroom but, I've kinda forgotten what civilization looks like.

Thanks for the prompt response guy's. I'll take it by a muffler shop vs. mechanic.

The pic by the way is in a showroom. The place I bought it from kept it inside.

Nice man, what'd it cost ya and where do you live ? Things are high in Northern VA ! Damn it.

I paid $6350 for it. Which I thought was a pretty good deal but what do I know? It has 133000 miles on it. I'm located in Winston Salem, NC.
