    garage insulation ideas

    !! I know Joe Lstiburek well !!!??? , in fact Ill be seeing him next week for a few days up near Boston. I insulate existing structures from the inside all the time. Depending on your climate look into spraying closed cell or open cell foam, spray foam is not without its problems but a good...

    Need a workshop, what's the best way to contract it?

    spend the money upfront and pay for good plans and design so you will know exactly what you are getting into. Too many of my clients seem to think they can get away without paying for good planning by using qualified designers / engineers and I will tell you this - 100% of the time the client...

    Damp basement...what to do?

    I am guessing that the contractor that did the addition did not put a membrane or damp proofing on the outside of the foundation walls If you can go to the expense of excavating from the outside then install a membrane against the cellar walls, install rigid XPS insulation against the...

    garage insulation ideas

    Its INSIDE OUT! I am sorry but you have it all wrong, not just you - the entire country. The insulation belongs on the OUTSIDE of the structure. I have simplified it here but this is it..... Most building scientists are just realizing that now, Canadians and Germans figured it out decades...

    Novice needs brake problem help please!

    Start with the obvious, it sounds like you may have several things going on - it may be a seized rear wheel cylinder that is now leaking and so the brake pedal is poor but also the m/c sounds like it could be the culprit. It could also be any combination of brake parts that dont like to be...

    Need help bad, NGK plugs burnt up after 20 miles

    BPR4EY is listed as the part number for the 2F and for sure I have used that NGK model in my 1985 60 with no problems. If its a 62 then there are more options listed on the NGK site but none of them are what you show in the photo NGK Spark Plugs

    Anyone ever use Man A Fre 4+ Tie and Relay Rods

    I looked into the Man-A-Fre 4+ relay rods and the "555" brand ball / tie rod joints ( CCOT has the "555" for 88$ for all 4 joints) and wound up buying Fuji Joint from cruiserparts.net for 130$ - just replaced all the TRE's and the ball joints last week - Fuji is really excellent quality...

    PO foamed the FJ62 frame ... now what??

    Stay away from the chemicals, acetone, stripper etc. use a power washer. I deal with both polyisocyanurate and urethane foams with work and if you think you are going to dissolve them with acetone after they are cured you will be making a mess and getting yourself sick. Just power wash /...

    Front Rotor Porn...

    I agree, the stock rotors are probably good enough and they have served me well - like I said no one has shown that a stock system is any worse than an upgraded braking system I admit I got a bit carried away after looking at all my rotor choices. If it means anything, these DBA rotors are...

    Front Rotor Porn...

    I am not convinced that a well tuned factory brake system is worse at stopping the truck than a modified / upgraded braking system because, as far as I know , no one out here has measured the results. One way to tell would be to measure stopping distance for each componant and compare that...

    Front Rotor Porn...

    After obsessively researching front end parts for my 60 for a complete axle rebuild I am planning in August I finally settled on these DBA front rotors. They are awesome. It was between the DBA's and the Centric rotors. DBA Model Number: 4151s - T3 Spec. They were 128$ a piece plus a...

    FJ60 Performance mods??

    OK here is my 2 cents 1.WEBER 38/38 CARB with weber air cleaner! You could put on a header and a new exhaust - you dont need to go 2.5" - 2" max with a Thrush or Hooker free flow muffler is a great set up - I am running that now. I have had three 60's and have tried everything but by far and...

    FJ60 Makes the front page of Jalopnik

    you know....its not a bad truck, if its spotless, and I mean spotless the price is not crazy - I have seen people ask 3-5k for wasted, rotted hulks of crap. the first thing I would do is rip out that steering wheel and buy a factory new one ( ok there is 1500 off the price right there)

    Cheap 60 parts.

    Check out their front brake rotors They have the cross drilled FJ60 rotors from Power Stop for 82.79 each - No where can you beat that most places are selling them for 130$ ....Also their brake pad selection seems pretty extensive. THE PROBLEM with their shipping costs is that if you order...

    Monstaliner'd the '62 this weekend

    i like the two tone and the way you did the front fender. Even though I had a nice 62 I always preferred the look of the round headlights in the 60 's- your 62 looks great because of that paint design.

    Thinking about buying 85 cruiser

    Look for a late 1985 60 and above. i think that the cut off date for Toyota was 04 / 1985. At that point changes were made for the better with the front axles and transfer case.

I have gone back and forth on this issue for months and in fact just ordered all the front axle rebuild parts from several vendors, I wound up with the same question -Trail Gear or Marlin Crawler seals ?, finally went with the...
