Greetings, our adventure has taken us back to the ATX-ish area for the next few months. We have a quick stop in New Braunfels this week then headed to Port A for the month of Jan. Will spend Feb-April in SA and Hill Country. Plan on attending... -
I daily drive my 87 fj60 with a 2f. The fuel mileage is crap but I keep my miles down. When I commuted, I never used the 60. Only used if for local driving, 4 wheeling and a hunting truck. Be realistic. If fuel costs are high and your...

I have been thinking about this thread for a while. I've daily driven my 60 for 7 years with a high mileage 2F. You can't count fuel mileage when driving one of these trucks. The facts are simple. I get 11-13 city, 15-17 highway. Usually its...

Michigan winters + older land cruiser = :frown: That thing will get rotted in no time. I’ve got a BJ74 here in Colorado and basically don’t drive it during ice/snow times for multiple reasons. I will sometimes but the good part is colorado...

patride71 replied to the thread Daily driving a 60?.The 80 or 100 would fit that bill as well. Not sure of your budget, but both of those generally are in the same or lower price range as a 60 depending on condition/miles. Neither get very good gas mileage. I do like the 100 with the V8 and...

The only way to get economy out of a 60 is to replace the engine. 2F and 3F heads just don't flow. I still dailied mine for a few years. Good times. Then I put a Toyota v8 in and haven't looked back. The F-series engines don't share a GM bolt...

patride71 replied to the thread Daily driving a 60?.My DD was a 60 for 3-4 years, but not 80 miles round trip. I couldn't imagine going 80 miles round trip everyday. That sounds a bit miserable to me, but I'm older and enjoy creature comforts more now. I'd daily drive my 100 or even back when I...
