I’m down in Charlottesville with a stock 87 FJ60. Next year’s project is a suspension refresh. I’ve looked heavily into Cruiser Outfitter’s OEM kit as well as Terrain Tamer’s parabolic kit. Use is 100% road, and I don’t plan on rock crawling ever. My tires are new 31s. I mostly drive around...

Very informative! Thank you.

Huh. At this point I have to assume nothing has been hooked up since the truck was desmogged last year :/

Well, with a de-smogged truck it still looks like no line runs from the outlet labeled 'S'. Hope someone can tell me I am right or wrong... I don't have any tubing laying around that might have been removed from the truck while I was doing the valve cover gasket.

You can always count on Fraudifornia types! Better diagram than what I have; thanks.

I just replaced my valve cover gasket, then left town for a week and for the life of me cannot determine where one of the lines coming off of the VCV routes to. From what I can tell it from diagrams it goes to the gas filter on the intake manifold but I am desmogged. Maybe nothing was there to...

Thanks. Best way to mount it?

Of the three the middle one is in fine shape so I may paint it. What are folks using for new heat shields in that area?

I'm spitballing here... my truck has occasionally suffered loss of power and jerking. I've changed fuel filters, the plugs and wires are new, I even drained the gas tank and inspected it. This was last fall, and I didn't experience the issue until the end of June. Well we have 100% humidity in...

What time will you be over at my house ? ;)

I have an original dash in my FJ60… with a crack as pictured. Long term plan was a new dash from Rust Farmers when it is available but is there a way to repair this short term?

Route 151 / Nelson County. Are you on the forum?

I think my battery is bad… taking it in to be tested

Got brushes and bearings from #CruiserMatt. After doing that job and reinstalling said alternator the truck will not crank. The gauge shows voltage; the battery is at 13.5v on my meter. Nothing. Gauge drops to zero when I turn the key. Not well versed on this type of job but per the FSM I have...

Landed here on an 20 hour overnight and made a beeline from my hotel. Great place!! Definitely put it on your list if you can. I grabbed a bunch of pictures of the Freeborn Red 60 for reference and I’m pretty happy comparing it with what I have and what I’ve accomplished in my first year of...
