I will never get tired of looking at an ARB bumper on any cruiser. Looks good! Is that some kind of custom hood ornament you've got there?

hmm. yes, will pick thru the exhaust system to see what I can uncover. It would be nice if it were as simple as a loose bolt at the manifold.

As the title states, the 2F engine has a definite knocking noise when she's cold. Occurs for the first minute or so and then recedes completely. This engine runs great otherwise, with sufficient power and really great fuel economy (avg 14 mpgs). I do have to run 89 octane to avoid predetonating...

hey wait a minute, that fan is supposed to come on every time i shut off the engine? cause mine rarely comes on. haven't heard it in a while, come to think of it.

got it going! steering column was stuck locked and when it jimmied loose it started as usual. :)

Help with starting issue Hey guys, my 87 FJ60 wont turn over. Radio and wiper are fine. Battery is good. I got a spark at the starter. Wondering what to do next? On several occasions recently, the truck has paused for a brief second before the starter has engaged. With the ignition off, I am...

The A/C in my 87 FJ60 blows cold but I don't use it and I'm wondering if disconnecting the belt will save the life of the system in any way.

Actually they are load range D with 5 ply tread (1 nylon, 2 steel, 2 poly) and 2 ply poly sidewalls.... Cooper discoverer S/T and they are actually a bit over 33 at 255/85, 16 . I know about your BFG woes.... And cruisers seem to have them so often. I bought a few cruisers over the years with...

Tires are 33 X 9.5 X 16 and I'm in an 87 FJ60. It is usually only lightly loaded and sometimes heavily loaded for bush trips. I would sacrifice some ride comfort for MPGs. I drive about 300 miles a week.

According to what it says on the sidewall of my cooper tires I can have a max load of 3000 lbs at 65psi. Is that how much I should put in for on road use?

trying to get my '80 2f started. carb is the trouble right now. just want to plant another one on instead of trying to mess around with this one. i'd also be interested in a new hard fuel line from pump to carb. i've got 40 parts to trade. 385-3852

i might have what you are looking for. 385-3852

pulled the hard line at the carb and turned the truck over for 15 seconds. got a bunch of fuel there so the pump is ok. truck will half assed fire and sputter when i pour gas into the carb and then turn it over. does this mean i am definetly looking at carb trouble or are there other...

emptied out the fuel filter canister just behind the pump, then cranked the engine over for 15 seconds and the canister was full of juice. but there is no gas at the carb. is there another pump in the carb itself that might be gone? or is the cam activated pump weak? thanks.

what is a bendix drive?
