One of those things that depend who you talk to. Apparently the 88's and early 89's were done right and never eligible for the recall. Mine's got 113k on it and runs like it was brand new. I would try and get the VIN and check with a dealer to see if the head gaskets were done, unless you are...

Dude, that sucks. I need to email you anyway with some info. I've just been super busy. Talk to you later.

I personally like it. And if you are seeing a 2mpg increase I would say that it would be worth it. Good luck and keep us informed. I too like part-times very much.

Sorry guys just spewing off some stress and unfortunately it was on this board that I let it show. I apologize. :-\

Ummm, Landtank WTF are you talking about? Highway speed is all about top gear in tranny, axle and tire size. So just because you had a friend that bought a poorly geared manual means diddly squat. If it was a 4spd manual and he switched to a 3spd auto his top gear remained exactly the same...

Cool, when are you going to bring it by? When does the S.O. fly in? Also, he will be doing the ARB install, he did every thing to his RR. Oh and :flipoff2: that's for getting one before us.

Ali, dude is that you? It's jack and darcie. When are you guys gonna be here or is it only you? Gonna do Sierra Trek without the RR eh? I was reading the other thread about 80's and thought that it was you. Darcie and I took a road trip out the black rock yesterday (sunday) and it's getting...

Thanks for the reply and all the work, unfortunately the deal didn't work out so I'll be keeping my eyes out for another one.

I did a search and had no luck. Anyway it looks like I'm going to be picking up an '89 FJ62 on Saturday and the wheels have already began to turn. My question is what is needed to make a 62 into a manual tranny? My wife will suffer for now with the auto but she really want's a manual. I know...
