I have an 87 FJ60 with ~120 miles. It was recently "totaled"by insurance company after I was driving down the road and hit by another vehicle. The damage was estimated at 5500 and therefore insurance has deemed it a total loss.
I have been negotiating with them for several weeks and have gone...
I have a 4-speed transmission with roughly 70K miles on it
I removed it to put in the H55 and it has been sitting in my garage ever since as I had the pipe dream that maybe someday i would use it for something
Absolutely no issues with it before removing
It is free to a good home - all it...
As I am going thru this process, I will add a comment on this thread.
It is a great idea and will definitely help others if they have to go thru this. However, what the insurance companies want is sales price - not asking prices. The asking price is not going to help. In addition to the actual...
Mine did not have shoulder belts and my understanding is that none of them did. Some have holes in the body where they can be installed. I did a write up years ago when I installed mine -
Bad news today
After going on the lift, addn damage to steering linkage and other issues brings estimate to $5500 which makes it totaled
Silver lining is they valued car at $7100 and that is before they take into account any upgrades - the two biggies being the 5-speed and the OME lift
Most of...
Thank you for the offer -
I have Nationwide and do have collision
The other party has State Farm - 18 yr old driver in his parents car and so far, I dont think there is anything wrong with his policy. Police report cites him for failure to yield and inattentiveness leading to the wreck. As...
Good news for today - the adjuster thinks its worth fixing!
they feel like they can do the body work, deal with oil pan, the leaf springs,etc - so she is off to a body shop
Now just have my fingers crossed that when she gets up on the lift, there is not more serious damage and they call it off...
Appreciate the input - so your case is not settled? Was your truck driveable? Did you just have it towed back to your house? i figure when they low ball me, I can still bring it home and either part it out and make more than they'd give me or try to rebuild it over time with used parts - or...
Im probably not alone when I say that in owning my 87 for over 12 years now, my worst nightmare is someone hitting me. Unfortunately, I did not wake up. Everyone is ok but Big Red is not in good shape. Took the impact in the passenger front wheel well - drove the axle into -and shearing the...
I removed the entire bracket - with the pump in it - there are 3 bolts as mentioned
its a tight squeeze to get them all - but still much easier than that bolt that hits the manifold
then afterwards, I cut that back bolt in 1/2 so that in the future it could be removed if needed without...
So I followed the FSM -
removed the old dizzy
set the mark to TDC on the flywheel using the inspection window
installed the dissy fully and making sure the gap was correct.
now I have a spark from the coil wire but still no start
I'll have to trouble shoot some more but too tired tonight -...
