mongoose2231 replied to the thread FJ60 bodywork question.The body of the 60 can't possibly weigh 2000lbs. I have my spares truck sans motor and axles on some stumps in my yard and I can lift the back of it by myself. Granted the fulcrum point is about at the a pillar but still. I'd guess it's less than...

Do a valve adjustment as mentioned above, check pcv valve all that good stuff. Them plugs look like they haven't been looked at for a very long time though. I have an 85...

mongoose2231 reacted to jmccandless's post in the thread FJ60 water temp gauge spiked / heater blows cold with Like.
Update, I wasn't able to drain the entire block, but the new pump is in place and buttoned back up. I refilled the radiator and burped the system with the engine running and both heaters on/in the heat position until air stopped coming out. I...

mongoose2231 replied to the thread Battery Drain Issue.Anything below .5a should be fine in any vehicle. Anything over, kills the battery. My cressida has the radio memory and the clock drawing .53 and kills the battery in about two week's time. I keep it on a tender. Now, I'd start with the radio...

mongoose2231 replied to the thread FJ60 water temp gauge spiked / heater blows cold.When burping the system, find the steepest incline you can and get the truck pointing up. Run the heat full blast to allow trapped bubbles to move along. I have done this several times with absolutely no issues. Must have heat on otherwise it's a...

mongoose2231 reacted to NLXTACY's post in the thread New to the FJ60 world, come share my pain with Like.
Last pieces of the puzzle. New OEM swaybar bushings, new OEM fender skirts, and KYB shocks (because I tired of OME). Only thing left is to pick out new tires and I’m done with this build and putting it up. I’m leaning Toyo AT3s for general...

mongoose2231 replied to the thread Builds Out with the old and in with the new!(turboed 2h!).On another note, my donor frame's rear channels aren't bad at all but will prolly need replacing.
