Hiya Georg, I was sorry to miss you. I put your steering pump conversion in my 60 about a year ago and wanted to say hello. Some other time. 😊 Diana

Thanks for this. I had this in my back pocket if I struggled with that HP hose but it went in a treat! I was worried about the wrong things seems like.

So, it wasn’t an easy job to do but I went in with no real practical experience. I did a lot of perusing this thread in preparation. I was only able to do a small test run… (2 laps around a 2 acre field) before I had to come home from AZ where the rig is but it’s performing great and there are...

I’ve ordered the modified high pressure hose along with the kit so maybe I’m in good shape. It’s likely that the theoretical approach isn’t serving me well and it will make more sense when I’ve got it right in front of me. Thanks

Hi All, I’ve been reading about this conversion for a year and finally ordered the kit, a gasket kit for the steering box and went into autozone to pick up the pump last week. I’m planning to do the job over Labor Day weekend. I am not finding the duralast pump anywhere so I bought the endurance...

That's something for me to keep in mind. I like being able to grab spare parts easily.

Borrego that's an amazing price! Thanks for the link. :)

60 Works and Seth - I appreciate the info. I forgot to mention that my tires are 33". I'm glad you added that note 60. I just talked to Valley Hybrids and realize I'll be into around $400 once I have the kit and that duralast pump. I have more time than money so I'll try to get the City Racer...

https://www.cityracerllc.com/collections/land-cruiser-60-series/products/power-steering-pump-for-us-land-cruiser-fj40-fj60?variant=14502735216699 Hi All, I have a 1984 FJ60 and I've been looking at Valley Hybrids kit for steering pump conversion and also this one from City Racer. My pump is...

mtelk, please post about your experience....I'm super interested to know how it goes. I'd like to do the same job on the front (replace extended shackles with factory length and then OME springs with a 2" lift) that I just did on the back. I'd like to have some confidence with using heat and...

I just did this job on the rear springs over the weekend. My catch phrase was !F**CKIN KNUCKLE" I hit my knuckle a few times trying to pound the similar one out with a ball peen hammer. I had a fat brass slug I placed on the pin so I wouldn't damage the end. It was over 30 minutes of hitting...

JHE I went with a Cardone MC and it arrived today. I also recieved the rebuild kit today too. My intention is to rebuild the Aisin that was in her when I bought her and keep it in my back pocket when/if I need it. I'm also doing it in the hopes that I can spend a few pleasant evenings with a...

Thanks Randy, yeah. I talked about it with my bro-in-law and decided to stick with the better pressure of the original 7/8. I'm a little tempted to try the 1" for the heck of it since I have it and it looks to be in good shape. I'm sure it's wiser to get the right one for my rig. I don't want...

Thank you! I just pulled a brake Booster out of a 93 forerunner yesterday and put it in my 83 FJ60. I am fairly new to all this stuff and learned about that swap from this thread. Thank you!! $30. :) It went right on easily upside down. The control valve is not built in like my old Booster...

Update if anyone is interested.... I pulled a booster and master out of a 93 forerunner at the scrappy yesterday and installed the booster with my old MC. (The forerunner was a bigger bore but looked better) My MC was pretty grungy so it got a cleaning. All went well with the install but we did...
