    Land Cruisers spotted in Traverse City

    Nice 60! You don’t see interiors like that very often. I don’t think it’s the same Garfield from back when that garage list was posted, but I could be wrong. I think their previous owner was a big LC guy and he sold the business years ago. There’s a new classic car garage in Cedar but I don’t...

    Frame Swap Advice

    Thanks for the help and ideas. I like the idea of replacing the back half with the good frame and leaving the front... I will do some digging on what it takes to join together the front to the back and i'm sure a good automotive frame welder would be able to get it done.

    Frame Swap Advice

    Looking for guidance on frame swap. I have a 1974 (October manufacture) with four speed and 1.5 F engine. The front of the frame is in good shape but from the center back it’s pretty rough and the PO had welded a bunch of steel on the back (Maze of angle iron) and although functional it looks...

    Fuel and Temp Gauge, 82 FJ40

    I was troubleshooting a temp sending unit (74 FJ40 1.5F) no read and low read on temp gauge (I think it's a faulty and open wire from my TSU to the plug behind the dash). While doing this I must have connected two things that shouldn't be connected (Battery was connected and ignition on) cause...

    Land Cruisers spotted in Traverse City

    @Planespotting, congrats on the purchase! Nice truck. Welcome to the "It's not a Jeep" cult. I also have a 74, (transition year - a bit of extra forum time in your future). You can always go down the EFI conversion rabbit hole. Or, there is a guy in Indiana on the forum that will rebuild your...

    Head cylinders thermo sensors

    I have a 1974 1F (with spin on oil filter) I have been trying to diagnose a temp sending issue. There was a black wire connected to the middle sending unit and the yellow wire -green stripe connected to the rear temp sending unit. I don't think I have an emissions computer, so what would be the...

    shackle question

    Sacfj60, did you order your shackles from Ironman? I just ordered the 2" kit and now I'm wondering if I need/want new shackles too. What was your thought process to get new shackles vs. the stock? I'm only using my 62 for light forest service type roads and daily driver so went with stock...

    Land Cruisers spotted in Traverse City

    Did you guys see the 60 series on craigslist in Omena for 19K? I have pics if anyone else is interested. It's original paint but a bit out of my price range for what it is, but looks like a solid truck. I have extra pics if anyone wants them. I may be in the TC area on Oct 17 to visit family if...

    Broken Front Sway Bar Mount

    If your truck has any rust I can’t recommend enough beefing up (witts end are great) or taking off the sway bar for wheeling - aggressive overlanding. The three times I have EVER been broken down in the 80 were all results of sway bars and/or muffler brackets breaking and taking brake lines with...
