Hello Beachcomber. I did purchase and install the SOR grocery getter kit for my '85 60, and I'm pleased with the results. I'm not sure if it's mentioned in a previous thread, but the SOR kit is the standard OME, 2" kit, minus 1 leaf, which brings it down to stock height. I occasionally load the...

This is the most recent thread that I could find with Mean Green alternators for 60s. I've only had it for a day, but it seems to be great so far. And I've never seen my voltmeter even close to 14V until today. Before the new alternator and battery, the voltmeter would jump up and down when I...

Ya, it does look like it might be a bit higher than stock, I'm happy with it. The snow tires are LT 245/75 16, so close enough to 31". I run 31" x 15 in the summer. The 100 was totaled, see the pic. Snow storm, an 18 yr. old girl came into my lane at highway speeds = dead rig. It...

Here are the before and after pics. It rides great, and looks much better.

Well, the SOR Grocery Getter kit is on the way. :) I also spoke to Paul at Specter, he said that there may be some tweaking needed once everything is installed, but I'm hoping that it should be fairly straightforward. My rig is a restored hangar queen, and I don't carry very much, other than a...

Has anyone tried the SOR Grocery Getter kit yet? I'm seriously contemplating getting it, but I was wondering if there was any feedback. I've looked around, and priced the OEM springs (not to be confused with the OME lift kit), as well as a custom set of stock leafs from from Alcan. For a...

I happened to glance at this thread because coincidentally, I just did the weatherstrip on my rig last night. As an aside, I learned that one of those panel hand tools would have been helpful for the task. I'm glad I had the replacement materials already, because I destroyed the old...

I ordered these speakers based on this post, but they didn't fit my vehicle. The installers said that the depth was okay, but the front rim of the speaker was too thick, and that the back of the panel was pressed tightly against the front of the speaker, no-go. They went through several sets...

Re-post from #1738, for the redux.

Hi Gadjeep- Nice looking rig, congrats. I too was planning to run the 16" Tundra wheels, but did not have any luck. I saw some pics on here and like the way they look, and figured they would work. I bought one (yes only one, I've learned...) from a local wheel place to try it on, and sure...

I browsed the FJ60 Registry for hours looking at different wheels, and a few of the posts mentioned Stockton. I had a few email correspondences with them (Stockton Wheel Service - Custom Wheels) and they were fairly responsive to my inquiries. I sent them a pic, and they gave me some quotes...

I really wanted Tan, and waited until I found one. :D
