The original plan was for it to break down on the initial drive and have it towed to @OGBeno. When it made the trip without any issues I knew I would need some real expertise.

Gonna save that comment for when I’m sitting quietly in the garage on hour 17 of a 2 hour job. 🤣🤣

Is that the 60 front end truck? I spotted him near the base a while back.

I believe it. We’ve been up to Ouray a few times and enjoy it a ton, bringing the 60 would be a blast.

Earlier this month I had some free time and decided to finally get to work on the Saginaw PS pump conversion from Georg. Removal and installation was pretty straightforward and trouble free. The rear most mounting bracket bolt was behind the header and also slightly rounded off, so that was...

Thanks guys! There’s definitely rust in the normal spots from time the truck spent in Colorado, but body work is on the “way later” portion of the dream list. As for now, I’m trying to tick off preventative/small things to minimize issues popping up later and gain familiarity with the truck...

Dogs and Land Cruisers. A match made in heaven. 😄

Tossing the new setup on the cruiser definitely made it feel more like my truck. I love the look of steelies on pretty much everything, and the tires look proper. The rubber overdrive was a welcomed bonus, and I got to pass along the old wheels and tires to a local member to use while his...

After getting the cruiser home, I started placing orders. On the night portion of the trip home, only half of the gauge cluster was illuminated. The left side was dark, and I used the flashlight on my watch to check the gauges every so often. There were no bulbs in that side of the cluster...

Day 2 of the drive started bright and early, the cruiser firing up without any drama after sitting in the cold overnight. After a quick fuel stop, we were pointed west and quickly crossed into New Mexico. We were treated to a beautiful weather day, with a breeze that became stronger the...

Up bright and early, we hit the local Walmart and started to fill a cart with things that we may need if we get in a pickle. Fluids of all varieties, a fire extinguisher, a toolkit, tire repair kit, a cheap tire inflator, all sorts of stuff. Loaded up with our new supplies, we hit the road...

Welcome! This thread will serve as a living journal documenting my experience of owning and learning all I can about this 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60. I intend on keeping this cruiser forever, so please quote this if I ever talk about selling it. I am by no means a mechanic, but I like to...

Big fella in Tucson.

New belts and finally got some time to do the Saginaw PS pump conversion.
