Same truck, different tires.
I run the 33'' BFG muds in the summer and the 31'' studded hakka's in the winter. Winter in this part of Alaska means that I drive on all ice and snow, the Mud Terrains are terrible on the ice. The hakka's are like driving on pavment. I don't like the look for the...
Due to an my ongoing and very expensive involvement with a frame off restoration of a ford zetec powered Vanagon syncro...
I am selling my 1985 FJ 60 with 88,xxx original miles, no rust and never rallied off road. Over 8500 dollars worth of upgrades done at Man-a-Fre in California. OME 2.5"...
I have gotten a ton of great information or Mud members and thought it might be nice to offer it here first. I will sell it on Craigslist at the end of the month.
As far as the "the bad" or " is there anything wrong" catagory: There are some rock chips in the front of the hood that could use...
I will post some more photos this weekend of the interior, engine bay and under carrage. I also have an apraisal that was done before I bought it with all the before photos. If I can figure a way to scan it in on the internet - Picasa? I will do that too on Sunday afternoon.
with some reluctance, I am putting my Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 up for sale.
It is white, rust free, with 87,000 original miles. I am the second owner. Original owner was a "little, old man from Arizona" sold it five years ago with 55,000 K on the clock. complete with all service records...
Nice project !
I was on your river this week catching your trout...still on beads in the deep pools.
When you come back up, I'll get you out halibut fishing and maybe you can get my hesiting, sputtering 60 running better. Until then I am running it rough...
Have a great winter, give me a...
Hey I dumped all my inbox emails....Give me a shout and come and get the damn thing!!
All I want to do with this is have it go away. no shipping, no photos,none of my time... just come and get it for free!
Why
I am a really nice guy....? I replaced the bumper on my cruiser with one that holds a spare and I don't need it anymore. It is taking up space and there are only so many cruisers that it will fit in Alaska.
Actually I was hoping I would get Mark Whatley to come down and get it and then he...
I have a heavy duty steel bumper that needs a sand blasting and powder coating to make it look like new. It was built by Man- a-Fre for me five years ago. It does not hold a spare. Just a tough steel bumper with two tabs for shackles. It weights about 140 pounds and is tough as nails.
Free to...
I agree make sure you choke is working. I start mine daily below zero that way and it is fine. The Power Steering pump sounds like it is having a baby or something but after it warms up it is fine too.
Thanks
Hi Kevin,
It looks like the culprit is a dead short. Both Alternators and Batteries are fine. I have a spare now.
The new fuseable link was toasted again. I think I am going to put in a marine fuse block with a spray sheild ( I happen to have one from one of my boats) and do away...
About a month ago I changed the fusable link in my
late 85 Fj60 (with orig.74K miles on it...Yes 74K), it solved all my problems that I was expereincing
then last week the alternator stopped charging the battery....Again...so:
I changed the main ground connection to the battery - nothing...
Hey great call!! Thanks for the help, sure enough one of the wires between the two peices is fried.
Where would a guy get a new one of those? I will check around this site and see if I can figure that one out......
Why would the wire fry?
Anyway, thanks again and I will take the peice...
Hey there,
I am having my first set of mysterious problems with my 1983 FJ60 with 74 thousand miles on it. First my stereo quit this morning, then my carb fan, then my heater fans, then it started running s***ty and dieing. clearly some kind of electrical problem. It will run with full choke...
MAF front bumper on my 60
Hey there,
Yup #570 on the registry. That is the first MAF front bumper. I have had it for a full year and torture tested it in the nastiest, coldest winter in fifty years in Alaska. I have pulled out countless trucks, jeeps, and cars from snowbanks this winter and...
