hehe, no doubt about that!

If all else fails....a strap and a buddy. Nice videos.

Hey, not a bad checklist! I'm closer than I thought!

Thanks gregnash...I noticed you are desmogged. I am smogged and have read about the complexity of the process of desmogging. What have you found as far as engine performance?

Hi fellas - My fj60 is pretty much stock except for longer shackles and 31" tires. I know tires are important to the off-road challenge and was wondering what additional equipment/mods are kinda essential to a trouble-free wheeling adventure, BUT on a budget. Kinda wanted to see if there's a...

Hey fellas - I've been trying to locate a head for my 3B. Up here in Canada (Ontario) it seems a little tough. So here I am. Anyone have a spare that they'd like to part with? OR, a complete 3B engine? If close enough, I can pick up.

Thanks, David* - would you know of a place in southern ontario/quebec that carries 3B cylinder heads?/parts for 3B motors?

Thanks for your input. This is all good time-saving and $$-saving advice!!

Opportunity to pick up a 1982 BJ60 with a cracked head. Rig has been sitting for 2 years without the cylinder head (removed by PO). Has 206,000 miles. The rig was running fine before the head cracked. Seller wants 400 bucks. The body, as expected, is in shambles. I have FJ60 that could use a 3B...

I'd love to see some pics! So here's my scenario: I have a wire coming out from the firewall that once grounded turns the fan on, and on, and on, and on. It doesn't shut off. I connected that wire to the sensor with a proper connector and it won't trigger the fan. There is however a wire that is...

Thanks for your input guys! I'm not sure about the amount of gears (4 or 5). the truck has been sitting for two years BUT it's the 3B and parts that's enticing. I'm trying to get a feel as to how available a head might be in my area. I have time to decide but I'd love to get that motor running...

Came across a dude that was just about to scrap a complete rig. It's a 1982 BJ60 with the 3B motor with 331,000 km (206,000 mi). The head is cracked. The body needs attention (no surprise). He wants 600 bucks. From what I can see the frame is good, doors are good, let's say passable. Is it worth...

my carb is set at 4.5 turns, contrary to what the FSM says which is 2. 2 is way too lean for the 2F according to members here. I had it running at 2 though but was barely running when I set the idle below 1000 rpm. As you can see, the carb is extremely nit-picky. Check that your VCV valve(s) are...

oh and one more question....will a bad charcoal canister affect the performance of the carb? because i think the canister is connected with/to the float? I've been getting a small fuel leak somewhere from the carb and its happening slowly after the engine is turned off. the following morning...

So, can the whooshing issue potentially cause spontaneous combustion? I'm getting whooshing also with a new OEM gas cap. I guess the focus for me will switch from radiator flush to charcoal canister rehab.
