***1987 FJ60 gear box upgrade question*** Trying to replace my gear box in my '87 fj60, with a RedHead rebuilt gear box from an 80 that was parted out. On Red Head's rebuild form, they offer the option to "include pre-tapped ports & plugs for hydraulic steering assist" Obviously this wouldn't...

awesome! will do -- thanks @cruiseroutfit

I found the fj60 sticky page FAQ - 60-series FAQ - https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=13183 but the link to the Installing an H55F Toyota 5 speed in a POST August, 1985 FJ60 won't load anymore. Anyone know another link or how to guide?

Neel help with H55F swap, with new T-case, and clutch replacement. Is there an install manual or thread that will help step me through a h55f swap on my '87. The shop price is really steep and I'm confident I can get the job done with the right instructions and expertise on here. 1987 FJ60...

@Mike Shull thank you sir! I've hit both of them up already. hope to hear back.

Does anyone know where to find a steering box for an 80 series? I'm trying to upgrade my 60. I've scoured the net trying to find one. The only 2 I found are from RockAuto ($540 w/ core) and some scam from cruiser parts.net. Thanks in advance.

This is a great post! Great job! I'd like to find out what the real difference is between an '87 body mount lineup vs an '88. I can't imagine there's a huge difference. cheers!

@Cain360 why did you go with the sniper instead? Just curious...thanks!

@adamsfly pics look great-- thanks for sharing. I'm wondering what gage steel your replacement panels are? I spoke with Wolf Steel today, and despite what other mud members have claimed, the gage steel they recommend is .036 + or - a bit. So that tells me it's closer to 20g steel, since .035 is...

@Dieseler I've got an 87 60, and a rear passenger door skin and left quarter to cut/repair. I've worked with 18g many times, but have not measured the thickness of the 60's steel. From the sounds of it, you've done some repair on your rigs, are you sure that 18g steel is the closest fit for a 60/62?

Awesome! Thanks Georg @orangefj45 I'll be reaching out today! I spoke with Mike from Cruiser Corps today, directly -- he was extremely professional and called back several times with status updates and to make sure everything was squared away. He had nothing but good things to say about...

Alright, well thats unanimous, thanks @Godwin @BlackCat @mongoose2231 @Winkz -- I'll let ya'll know how it turns out!

Help needed!! I've got an 87 60 and aim to upgrade the suspension immediately. My question isn't whether or not OME is the right choice, b/c I've already made my mind up that it is. My question is where is the best place to order the suspension from?? I'm looking for a medium/medium setup...

Recently picked up a '87 60. The stock wheels and old tires were chewed up, so I picked up a new-er set of wheels and tires (less than 800 miles on them). Exact Wheel specs: Wheel Size - 16x10 Offset: -25 mm Backspace: 4.52 Measured lugs and center bore -- both matched up perfectly, but I...

Sounds good! What's the exact measurement of the center bore of the spacer? I picked a local set up today -- ended up they were 1/16" off ( and machining them out is not an option), needles to say I had to return them. Depending on your measurement, I can zelle you the payment directly.
