Sorry, it's an '86 FJ60.

I'm a Spyderco fan. Amazing quality knives, many of which are made right here in Golden. Colorado. They're tough, hold a sharp edge, sharpen easily, and have a lifetime warranty. Plus, they look wicked to boot. www.spyderco.com

I tried pulling up on the gas pedal a few times before, and that didn't seem to help. I think I found the fix tonight, though. Poking around under the hood I discovered my intake hose was all chewed up leading into the air filter. Wrapped it with duct tape as a temporary fix. Now the...

Here's a question I feel like I should know the answer to, but I'm brand new to the Cruiser world, much less a vehicle with a carb. When I stop at a light after rolling down the road, my truck idles around 1400 RPM. If I rev the engine a bit and tap the pedal, the idle settles down to around...

I'm late to the party, but to extend this thread a little further: I too feel your pain, and maybe a little worse. My clutch is absolutely shot, and any long grades (which are pretty common here in CO) means a long, slow haul up the hill with the clutch slipping the whole way. If a regular...

I'm thinking about taking the easy way out (not easy on the pocketbook) and having a shop in town here do it for a few reasons--my lack of tools (not so big a deal) and lack of a lift to put the truck up while doing this (big deal). Sheesh, it was scary enough using hi-lifts to jack up the...

Well, got myself acquainted with the new 'cruiser today after work. Just spent a few hours crawling around, over, through and underneath the entire truck to get a sense of how the thing worked. I've been driving around Hondas and Mazdas my whole life, so to even have a carbeurated turck is a...

Alright then, let's talk about what's involved. What am I looking at? What needs to come out to get to it? Etc, etc. I'd rather spend $200 on tools and to it myself and learn something in the process. Like you said, good bonding time w/the new truck. It's gonna be up on the jack tomorrow...

Hey All, Just wanted to introduce myself. I just picked up my new 86 FJ60 this weekend and drove it back to Colorado from New Mexico. I'm really excited to own this truck, and so far this board has been a great resource. There's a wealth of knowledge and I'll do my best to do my reasearch...

This post is way too old. Assuming it's already gone. Correct? Otherwise, I live in CO, I can be there in a matter of hours.
