Sorry, it's long gone but the oil stains in front of the house from the leaking transfer case are still visible on google earth. It saved at least two lives, taking the hit from a red-light-running Tacoma that would have totally the creamed the little compact car in the next lane. No...

Arggg, sorry, it's been a couple years since I've been here. It was FJ60 specific & discussed the outcome of maintenance decline so I dropped it here. If the mods think chat is more appropriate, feel free to move it.

I was posting to another forum about the great Colorado Pull-n-Pay yards and thought I'd post this here... "By the end of 5 teenage drivers, our old beater land cruiser was _totally_ used up: bounced hard off-road, run into innumerous stationary and moving objects, totalled at least two...

Last week my kids and I went exploring around some of the high-altitude lakes, ghost towns and abandoned mine sites between Breckenridge and Leadville, Colorado with our FJ60 and Syncro Vanagon camper. As we pulled into the Blue Lakes area, a bunch of baby mountain goats came off the...

We saw one of these ( F-j60 fitted with a VW Westfalia Pop-top) coming down I-70 from Breckenridge into Denver last weekend. I saw it for just a minute or two. The fit didn't appear real natural or quite right, like the pop-top was a bit too wide for the cruisers roof. The Westy expedition guys...

Son, wrenching is like sex. Book, manuals and watching someone else do it are all fine and good and have their place, but you don't know a d*mn thing until you actually physically jump in and do it yourself. And, no matter how much fun you think you are having doing it, it takes a lot of...

I've been meaning to post this warning for a while. I took my daughter mudding in our 86 '60 just after we bought it from a friend. He had taken great care of it and I have a high level of confidence in the vehicle. After a recent rain we went up to the big mud hole north of rocky flats...

It did feel like a fuel recirc & heating situation like I've seen before on high pressure FI systems, but I had assumed that they didn't recirc the fuel on the carb'd setup. I just crawled underneath and saw that they properly designed the fuel and exhaust systems to run on opposite sides of...

The thing that has me stumped was the fact that the vapor venting went on very strongly for 10 minutes with the gas cap completely off and the engine turned off. The flow rate was similar to the output of a vacuum cleaner or shop vac. I'd never seen anything like it. One of the purposes of...

My son, daughter and I were running Colorado forest road 118 (36/SR47/johnny park/Big elk meadow to meeker/peak_to_peak highway) in our '86 60 this weekend. The trail was great fun, a beautiful forest trail with a few technical parts, all do-able with stock suspension/tires and a 17 year old...
