A few years ago I upgraded the alternator on my 60 to the 80A external fan alternator from a 3FE, like so many others here on Mud. Fast-forward to the present and my alternator has failed. I've been trying to replace it and every one that I've ordered have been delivered as the 90A internal fan...

Do you still have the radiator bottle?

I'm gonna keep them for now. They've got the KM3s on them, so I'll swap if I plan to do any wheeling.

Then I broke out the DA polisher to try to see what I could do for the paint. There's basically no paint left on the roof and very little on the hood so I couldn't do too much. The sides are a little bit better, but a repaint is totally in my future. Got some shine back in the sides though...

Spent some quality time with the 60 in prep to enlist it in DD duty for a while. New suspension bushings all around, the old ones were toast and missing in places. Took about 8 hours with hand tools and a floor jack by myself. The ride is so much better now.

@DrLui for a 1987 FJ60 with only lap belts, which option do you suggest for the rear cargo panel set? Manual adjusted or auto retracted?

As usual, my raffle luck is non-existant

We had a great time. Kids got in the lake in October, and didn't complain! Got to get back out again soon.

Pulled the camper and kids to Sadlers Creek State Park with the 60. Truck was slow but steady, right lane only. But still able to pull at (corrected) 60mph, except for the hills on 85. We had a good time and stayed surprisingly dry given the hurricane moving through.

Long shot, but here goes. Does he have any 60 series lower tailgates?

I'm excited to try this, but I JUST WANT THE SPICY BISCUIT BACK! Yes, I know that you can technically order one, if you want to wait, OR you happen to be going through ATL airpoirt, but we all deserve spicy goodness first thing in the morning.

I've been there and can endorse this message. Not sure if we'll make this one or not yet... It'll be a gameday decision, I'm afraid.

Not mine, nor do I know the guy, but thought someone might have a use for some of this stuff... Tacoma Wheels, Roof Top Tent, Bed Bars - auto parts - by owner -...

It requires installing their wiring harness, but other than that, yes. I had to open up the ring terminals a little to fit on my battery terminals.
