Hey Levron I have the front and rear diffs from an 82 BJ60. I'm in Calgary. PM me if you still need them.

I am Jean White and would love the opportunity to join as a chainsaw type/winch cable puller/non-whiner passenger seat warmer. I do have chainsaw and gear that I can bring with. So now I'll just wait with bated breath!

Oh good to know. I'll be sure to grab that switch! Thanks!

Well got the HJ60 separated. And now I'm concerned that the transfer case isn't what I thought. It doesn't have 4H. What's up with that?

But the springs themselves bolt directly to the 60 series axles? I'm probably going to extract the 87 HJ60 from the back yard tomorrow. Pull the body, pull the motor and tranny and attempt to get he axles out. With all this I'm just now wondering which springs to use. I already have the 55 3...

Quick question on the 60 axle perches. Can I bolt my 55 series 3 1/2" lift springs directly to the existing 60 series axles (keeping everything undermount). Then install new (outcropped on the front) frame mounts? Will the back axle just bolt straight in?

Dually noted Delancy. Not worried about the axle width. As it is, I'm worried the 35 x 12.5 tires are going to have issues when turning. So the wider the axle, and inevitably more stable, the better. Now to find where best to get the new axle spring perches. Time to google this forum for...

Thank you for the great responses. Forgot about just putting the 60 rear axle in, I have spacers for the front already. Would actually like to change both axles, as I'm worried about gear ratios, I don't know what is in any of my axles. My goal was to get the 5-speed and split case into the...

I could really use some constructive input to help me make a decision on my next move with my "Driver Pig". Background on truck: Purchased about a year ago, it is registered as a 1978 FJ55, however the body is mostly a 1974 with some 69 and 71 parts. Bit of a frankencruiser, but I'm ok with...

I am 100% in, and I would love to see 71greenpig's suggestion. 4wd on front and pig on back!! Either way, I would be in for a couple shirts.

Added some class And through on some serious roof racks Super pick and pull find, $50 for all three pieces.

I'm actually surprised this hasn't been brought up, but I've been looking at using the FJ60 rear heater and it already uses copper lines that run under the body. I'm sure there are a lot of threads in the 60 section, but this was one of the first that came up...

Ron, one of the other reasons the trucks got moved was so I could work on 59 & 69 VW pans. Not to mention the KLR and Vstrom. But I have issues. :(

I shuffled the deck recently: Just moved some of the inventory around, and blew a solenoid on the 78's winch and discovered the transfer case wouldn't leave 2H. All this because the 73 in the garage refused to fire.
