You may be interested in mine. https://forum.ih8mud.com/vehicles-trailers-sale-wanted/228104-1982-bj60-sale-only-232-000-kms.html 1982, which makes it 25 years and older. Cheers.

Geez, heck of a deal! I can only imagine what some of the Canadian readers must be thinking - a rust-free Arizona 60 for $500, pretty cheap body donor for some of the rusting hulks up here... Anyway, good for you, I imagine you made a bit of a profit on the re-sale, which should help you...

You make a good point. INdeed, probably best left alone for now (in my case, there is NOT worrysome rust in the area, and I recently cleaned the inside of the tube and flushed it out with water). Thanks!

So: can you NOW tell us what you paid for the truck originally, then?? ;)

Hi Folks, something I've been wondering for a while. Regarding the rear shock mounting tube/crossmember, would it be a good PM job to weld additional support on the shock mounts, and possibly on where the tube mates to the frame? I know that some people have had unexpected problems/breakage back...

Just saw an ad for a 60 for sale, which has the spare tire mounted on the front bumper (!). This is the first time I notice someone doing this, and though I don't particularly find it aesthetically appealing (nor maybe even practical), I'm wondering if there are positive aspects of doing this...

Thanks, I definitely will go check one out then! I suppose I shouldn't let one bad shopping experience and some negative online reviews detract me from considering the Subaru wagons. I'll hunt for a good used specimen with good maintenance records. Thanks!

I gather that some of you feel that 60 ownership is a "young man's sport"... Serves me right for revealing my age and inviting such comments, I suppose! ;) Cheers.

Hi Nastav, indeed, you read the post and understand my situation.:) Thanks for seconding the Element. I'll have some discussions with my colleague, who's driven across the continent twice with it and often takes it out on marginal roads for fishing excursions. The utilitarian nature of it is of...

Hi all and thanks for the suggestions. 82 BJ60 as daily driver? If I was younger I might consider it, but I prefer keeping it stock and using it to explore marginal roads around here, do some camping, etc. Plus I'd rather not expose it to the ravages of winter salt etc. And for commuting...

Hi all. I've owned a MB 240D for over 8 years now. Rust-free southern car (I live in the rusty north-east), it's my summer car and garage queen. Since I commute to work and need a car for winter driving, I've always had 2 cars (3 now, if I count the 82 Land Cruiser BJ60 I bought for occasional...

Thanks, that drawing is useful! So the gutter is part of the roof then. Too bad they didn't put a seam at the top of the curvature too, to prevent condensation from accumulating above the lower seal and rotting out from inside. Bottom line is also probably that Toyota did not apply...

hmmm, can't see it for some reason? Care to repost (picture?)

Thanks for the drawing. The truck I bought last Fall had some rust up above the windshield that was repaired and painted (mostly surface but a couple of small holes from what I was told). See my editing of your drawing, are you suggesting that the rust typically forms from the inside of the...

Thanks for all the tips folks!! I don't have air so will see how I make out with penetrating oil and strategic use of muscle power, tools and physics... If no go, will take it into a shop with air chisel for removal. Those nut-splitters look very useful, though I don't think I can get at the...

In a couple of weeks I hope to be able to get back under my truck (after snow melt!) and try to remove the crossmember that holds the spare tire carrier. I have a good used carrier to replace the one on there that was seized (North-East truck). WHen I tried to have a go at the 4 bolts in the...

Yeah, why do you think I passed up on it? ;) The cost for the parts was one thing, but having to pay to send my original parts for the seller to inspect before sending me the P/S stuff was a bit excessive. Well, I suppose for some people, selling used diesel parts is a way to make a living...:meh:

Someone in your neck of the woods has all the parts needed to make the conversion. He wants around $900 for the parts, and you have to ship him your old manual steering parts first (at your cost). If that kind of deal sounds good to you, post an ad on diesel parts part of the forum and I'm...

Any recommendations on what to do with the line (ie replace)? I want to replace my master/slave this Spring, and the line is starting to look a bit too rusty for my taste. I have read elsewhere on this board about folks putting on aftermarket flex lines or something. Just wondering if there's...

Oops, read that too quickly! So 4th gear popping out on a H55F then. Worth asking the question on the diesel forum, where you are more likely to find people with the 5 speed. 320,000 kms is getting up there, not surprising in a way that the original tranny starting giving problems (depending...
