    FJ60 Lift - Minimum Ceiling Height Required?

    Hello, Posted in workshops as well, but the truck forums get much more traffic. Just as the title says - I'm designing a garage, and I finally get to put in a lift. Going 2-post as space is a consideration, and most of my work will be wheel rotation, brakes, etc. - need the wheels accessible...

    FJ60 Lift - Minimum Ceiling Height Required?

    Hello, Just as the title says - I'm designing a garage, and I finally get to put in a lift. Going 2-post as space is a consideration, and most of my work will be wheel rotation, brakes, etc. - need the wheels accessible. The cruiser is the tallest car I own. Others are an 89 911 and an 03...

    Good Wrench in Dallas? A few names keep popping up.

    I actually had two great conversations with Mike Goode and Mike Dadja. Dadja was a bit less expensive, a bit faster, and I vibed with him, so the truck will be going there.

    Good Wrench in Dallas? A few names keep popping up.

    I just moved here and I'm bringing my 85 '60 down. She's been sitting for a while, so my plan is to do a refresh on the gas tank, suspension, and AC system. I see a few names brought up: - Dadja ("the man" but with a months-long wait?) - Goode (Highly recommended from a couple of people) -...

    I just moved to Lakewood Heights. Bringing my 85 FJ60 into town shortly. I'd be game for a meet.

    The dreaded "what's it worth" thread...

    That's fair. Fortunately everything pre obd-II in New York is emissions exempt. Just safety now. I'll post some interior and rust photos, then see about the ebay and Craigslist appraisals. Thanks again.

    The dreaded "what's it worth" thread...

    I think it costs a percent of the reserve to list on eBay. Not sure. That could be an expensive proposition. For less than 10k I'll roll the dice on my friend babysitting even if not as lovingly as id prefer. Closer to 20 and id talk about moving it. Will try to get some detail pics. Do your...

    The dreaded "what's it worth" thread...

    May be time to sell the beast. She's treated me very well, but my family sold their house where I used to store it, so I sent it to my friend's place in South Carolina. He was providing love, but he has three kids, one of whom was diagnosed with cancer (she's in remission now and doing great)...

    Battery/Alternator issues

    It was definitely the starter. A friend showed me where to whack it (that doesn't sound good) and it fired right up. New starter inbound from cruiser dan. I'll take a look at rebuilding this one for next time. Many thanks.

    Builds Cruisermatt's FJ62 Build-up

    Beautiful truck and great story. I'd disagree with the post about them being just another truck. I'd never heard of fj60s until I was a teenager. And I still became obsessed. The lines, the capability - these things rock.

    Battery/Alternator issues

    Starter seems likely, although I will do the suggested cable checking and cleaning. Dumb question, but wheres the damn starter? And what's a good source for oem? Cruiser dan?

    Battery/Alternator issues

    So the plot thickens a bit. The problem appears to be something other than the battery. It seems like the battery has a full charge. So when the truck is running, the alternator appears to be charging it. If it were a ground cable, wouldn't the electrical connection be spotty? When I try to...

    Battery/Alternator issues

    Just pulled the truck out of an extended hibernation. Battery was unhooked. Expected it to be dead, and when I reconnected it and cranked, I actually got a bit of a kick to the starter. Not enough to turn over, but something. Then tried to jump the truck. Here's the stupid part (yes, all of...
