4/13/24 it is safely tucked away in North Phoenix. I will be out there by next weekend.

The news was showing old footage of the OJ Simpson police chase. His bronco passes (shockingly) a 60/62 it appears.

If any of you AZ folks see it on the transport truck

Back to Phoenix and still for sale. I lasted so long in Wisconsin the Arizona plates didn’t even expire. 😂

FWIW, if I had to do it again, I'd just keep the carb. It runs the same as a well tuned carb.

shameless plug, but my 60 is much nicer than that and is also for sale. I am open to negotiations on price. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1983-freeborn-red-fj60.1334841/

backfiring can be numerous things, mostly timing. Misfires can be from a bad plug, wire, cap, rotor, valve, compression, etc. What happens when you adjust the idle speed screw on the carb? IE NOT the idle mix screw.

yes, a bad ICS will make it impossible to tune. I can't see the video, but if it's idling "rough" it could also be miss firing which would give low vacuum numbers and be impossible to tune. Depending on idle speed, it will run with no ICS. It...

nope. Start the truck and be ready to add fluid to the reservoir as its drawn into the pump and gear box.

As of 3/26 it is scheduled to be picked up by the transport company and will be in Phoenix by approximately April 10th.

Correct. And if you use a Corvette style fuel filter you don't need a return from the sniper to the tank.

as of 3/19/24 we've had plenty of rain and the salt is off the roads and the truck is fully insured. IF we get additional snow and they salt the roads I will under no circumstances allow for test drives no matter how short. I'm sorry but road...

It's not designed for that. This one is from CBI (no longer offered).

Looking to sell my 83 Freeborn FJ60. I bought it 6 years ago in Tucson and shipped it here when I moved to Wisconsin in 2021. It is garage kept and stored winters here. I will try to keep it as short and sweet as possible here, but will...

good looking truck! Do you know if you can use a hidden light bar with that winch mount?

Yeah that was my thought as well. I figured a desert truck in the midwest would bring a premium over a desert truck in the desert.

Interesting. I didn’t really think that was a thing, but maybe I’m wrong

So say I was considering selling my FJ60 which has spent all but 2 years in Southern California and Arizona, and is now currently with me in Wisconsin and has been stored winters. I am considering moving back to Arizona. Strictly from a location...

It doesn't need to go over the edge, it just needs to seal the diameter of the hole off the intake manifold. Sorry I can't help with the torque spec, but snug should be good. May need a remflex gasket if that doesn't work.

laughs in 2F.

lets try and get them to bring back FJ60 dash pads in both colors for cripes sakes.

Hey Kurt do you have any pics of the stance this "stock height" kit will achieve?

Tc makes stock sized lowers as well.
