    Drive that 60!!!!

    I don't know what created this. Pack rat maybe. I haven't seen any but have seen some sign. I do know it wasnt mice. The battery box had at least 20 lbs of gravel from parking area packed into it. Also, the nest was built very tight. I had to use a screwdriver and work hard to break it up.

    Battery Drain

    Mine ended up being something with the radio. I had a draw that would kill battery after 3 days. I pulled radio fuse and have not had a problem. Haven't researched past this. Plan on putting aftermarket sound system in soon. I think I read somewhere that the cd player can often be the culprit...

    Fj60 Shaking tons after 30 mph

    I have heard this several times. If so, why do they come from the factory with them installed. What other purpose to they have? Installing mine correctly solved my DW.

    Fj60 Shaking tons after 30 mph

    The metal bushings come with some shocks. I just happened to have a couple in my bin. Previous owner did not use them. Not sure why. When you buy a stabilizer, it should come with tight fitting special bolts, nuts, etc.... Once stabilizer is removed for inspection, it is very easy to see if it...

    Fj60 Shaking tons after 30 mph

    Solved mine after a very long time and trying everything. I was at wits end. New TRE kit from Cruiser Outfitters worked wonders but still had shake DW at 35-40 mph. Things that checked out ok.... Ubolts tight, shocks tight and not blown, wheels balanced, no broken belt in tires, replaced shackle...

    What lug nuts do I need?

    I posted this in Wheel/tire section too: I have been running typical Acorn type lug nuts on these rims. Not sure if they are correct. Looks like I might need the shank/washer type. Any expert advice appreciated. I ordered stock Toyota's but shank diameter is too big and washers didn't fit in...

    I have been running typical Acorn type lug nuts on these rims. Not sure if they are correct. Looks like I might need the shank/washer type. Any expert advice appreciated. I ordered stock Toyota's but shank diameter is too big and washers didn't fit in holes. Please enlighten me. -thanks in advance.

    Recommendation Needed > XC Trip from VA to Bryce, Zion, Moab and Arches

    Kanab is a great town to stay in and use as a hub. You could spend a couple weeks here and visit something cool everyday. I am a little biased since I live here. Zion is great but busy. Things you might consider w/i a 100 mile of Kanab. White pockets, peek-a-boo slot canyon, North Rim of Grand...
