Thanks for the info. That looks great.

Stregthening the IFS mounts... Do you mean welding in a piece of metal between the two mounts? Thanks

Are you talking about the Trailmaster or Superlift, or another one? Are they good lifts that would handle well on gravel? And thanks for mentioning the 33 fitment in the FAQ, I had not seen that.

Has anybody used this lift? http://www.toyotaoffroadparts.com/OLD_MAN_EMU/86-94_Toyota_Pickup_lift_kit.htm I'm guessing it's around 2 inches? Would it be enough to fit 33s? I am looking for a lift for driving gravel/dirt roads at speed rather than articulating on rocks. Thanks

Update They tried to start it and totally screwed the ignition. I am pretty sure they towed it away. First of all, the battery was dead before they stole it. Also the steering wheel was locked when it was recovered. The guy at the impound lot tried to get it started with a screwdriver and...

Vehicle Is Found The police called this morning and said it has been found. I have no idea what condition it is in. I'll post an update when I get it back. I'm really surprised it showed up so fast, I was sure someone had it pulled apart for parts by now. Thanks everyone.

OR license: XPY482 It is a 1987 FJ60. Ironman lift, aftermarket shackles with greasable bolts. 265/75/R16 TXR tires on black rims with the red stripe. Yakima rack bars that are pretty well corroded in place. Dent on left front wheel well. Blanket style seat covers on rear and passenger...

Thanks for the thoughts. I am not at home right now, but I'll post pictures and the plate number later tonight. I don't know the name of the color, but it's the blue/grey color. Thanks again.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. My FJ60 that I was selling on Craigslist was stolen Sunday morning between 2:00 and 8:30 AM. If you see it be sold or parted out please contact me. I have reason to believe that it was someone who contacted me about the vehicle through Craigslist that...

The thread about the thermostat got me thinking... I saw the instructions on how to flush the radiator, but would any of you go to a Jiffy Lube type place to have it done?

Thanks! My heater is working less than ideally as well. Is the thermostat an easy replacement? It does not look too bad... I figured I could replace that (and the O rings :) and then get the radiator flushed. Hopefully that would get things a little hotter.

What are the O-rings that you are talking about? Are they involved with a thermostat replacement?

Pictures aren't working...

I've never inverted a spring before. Would it be easier to jack up the rear and then un-invert them?

My rear shackles are both almost vertical, slightly forward. I don't know if it matters, but they are 1/2" longer than stock. I would not think that the small amount of extra arch would make that noticable of a difference. Hmmm....
