is that what was wrong with yours, trapper? i have yet to find a moment to check it out. thanks, g

is it this? i think i am having the same problem. here is what search turned up for me: https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/36475-exploding-sound-inside-cab-when-i-start-60-sometimes.html i also posted my own thread about it. not fixed yet, but here is where i am headed (VCV valve)...

hank, thank you very much for taking the time to post that for me (and others i am sure). i will check it out and report back. cheers, g

hi hank. no, i do not have the manual. getting a full FSM set is on the list of things to do, but it will be a while. if you could post instructions, that would be great. thanks for the reply, g

so i have read through the whole classic stumble bit and planned to check out my egr valve after i r/r the j pipe i ordered shows up. i also have the popping sound on occasional startups coming from the passenger side/dash/speaker area followed by a sulpher smell. search has led me to...

do any of you fine canadians know of an inexpensive shop/garage where i can get a couple of small things done? i need a couple of specific bends put into a piece of steel (the piece is about 13" x 3" and about 3/8" thick). this is for the mounting plate for a simjack gear shift lock. i need...

thanks, butt. any suggestions for other things i should look for down there? did you replace the ferrule and studs as well? g

i had the same thought, but this one is not original. i believe the j pipe has been replaced three times in the history of the rig, maybe more.

i am about to replace the j pipe for the egr in a 1987 fj60 and i was curious to know if it is money well spent to spring for the stainless one (i read that the SOR flange is better) or if i should just go the OEM route. i have looked through various threads including ducks very detailed...

thanks for the tips guys. i will check out EBI. unfortunately, i do no think i can buy part rigs as i am doing the apartment living thing. cheers, g

posted this over in chit-chat, but i thought it was fj60-ish enough to go here. i moved to vancouver last week (huge snow storm the other day which was fun). i was curious to know where you guys north of the 49th go for used parts/pick and pull, auto stores, online retailers for fj60 parts...

mileage?
