This. Truth.

Howdy - have a question. I'm a TLCA member, and have had my 60 for a few years now. My rig was featured in the Jan/Feb 2017 issue of Toyota Trails: Toyota Trails - January/February 2017 Issue I have been delinquent about getting my PMC paperwork done. I live only about 5 minutes form the...

No prob - good luck on the leak hunt!

Two things. First, there are no exposed "oil lines" on the FJ60/62 oil cooler system. All the lines running to/from the cooler "brick" on the side of the engine block are carrying coolant - not oil. Oil enters and exits the cooler in passages where is mates/bolts down to the side of the engine...

Very-very nice. Well done.

True - true. Not sure why I leave it, it's not like anyone else besides myself would service my air filter...

I very much appreciate the stockness SS.

All stock, CA smog legal. 87 w/156K miles. Lots of nick-nack replacement work, and time with a rag soaked in Simple Green. Especially after a roading trip. I like to work on clean equipment, and I can see leaks quickly. (I know - the 2F sticker on the AC assembly is not stock, but I like it.)

Ohhhh - that very purty!

Here's some info about CFMs, and a pretty clean setup if your going down the path... Fj60 diesel conversion

I guess at the end of the day, it's not sacrilege, nor problematic, and I don't know who's turning 3600 out of a 2F (good lawdy), you choose - right? Upgrade an alternator, keep the factory fan - totally the burden of the freedom of choice - right? We love these things. I look at these things...

As repeated here - stick with factory fan and clutch. OEM if you can afford it. As has been stated before, you have to remember, these things were engineered and built for service all over the world - the cooling systems on these beasts were engineered for climates ranging from 40 below zero...

Yes you do if you want to keep the offset/axle beam load in the right place.

Running powder coated Tundra steelies with spacers as well with 235/85/16 Duratacs. Love the setup - great off road, and good road manners.
