I have them on my 88 62. Two cons - you’ll need at least 6 degree caster shims to make it handle, and it rode a bit rough (shackle angle) before I put the ARB bumper on. I’d do it again. Good quality product.

Sure is brother. Thanks for helping out as usual Matt! Should have this thing fired in a couple days

I'm wrapping up putting a standard 5.3/4L60E setup in my 88 FJ62 and I've hit a bit of a roadblock with the alternator wiring. Partly my fault because I didn't label wiring well, and also because of really shadetree PO wiring I ripped out (there were actually wirenuts all over the place). I've...

Sure thing. Shoot me a PM when you have time and we can work it out

If you’re interested I’ll let the 3fe go for almost nothing. Especially if it gets put into a 40

I’m negotiable. Make an offer

A few hundred bucks and a good bottle of scotch

I have one sitting on my garage floor. Only has about 200 miles since I bought it from Valley Hybrids 2 years ago. My 3fe let go and I’m in the middle of an LS swap. Happy to work something out if it gets you back on the road

3FE and A440 are coming out for an LS/4L60 swap. Motor runs, 345k on the odometer but no idea if there was a swap/rebuild prior to my buying it five years ago. Decent oil pressure. Cold and dry compression test showed 140, 130, 130, 130, 120, 135. Not awesome but it's still running if you need...

Any details on the condition of the 3fe? Mileage?

I had very similar symptoms with my 62. I did the Rodney flush and some adjustments to the kickdown cable, new filter, etc. Definitely improved for about 6 months. I had a couple cases of AT fluid on hand so I can’t say exactly how much I went through though. The bad news- after six months it...

That is awesome to hear! I might just have to go for it and order the ARB. Thanks

Cruiser outfitters is great, but no need now with it solved. I imagine a PO re-arched or added a helper spring on the front packs causing the “no lift” issue. Still, having the rear so much taller with the new OME setup didn’t work for me

So almost two years ago I installed an OME kit on the 62. I went with mediums due to feedback from members. Generally speaking I think it was the right call. Install went well with only a few minor injuries - Until I compared pre and post lift measurements. The rear added 3.5, the front 0...

First post - but I’ve been lurking since 2019 when I bought my 1988 FJ62. I truly appreciate all the information and advice provided daily from members. I’ll put together a build thread (it’ll be long) that documents the interior restoration , chassis and suspension, body and paint, and 3fe...
