    Here's an undercarriage gallery I did for another message: Imgur Springs and spring hangers/surrounding area could use some love, but everything is in okay shape otherwise.

    For Sale 1/1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60

    Priorities have changed, as they do. I have a few other toys recently added, and not nearly enough time to enjoy this as much as an owner should. Hope to be back on mud with something else in the future. Love the Land Cruiser nameplate.

    Torque for downpipe nuts?

    Unfortunately not ha. My truck is an hour away from me until it's running again. I'm just accumulating info on remaining tasks that need to be completed when I get back to it. Hopefully this afternoon. Tighten down some fasteners, reinstall the battery, set belt tensions, add coolant, set...

    Torque for downpipe nuts?

    Yep. Two studs/washers/nuts top center. Four big bolts/washers, and the two smaller bolts/washers on the very outer edges (the ears for cylinder 1/6 exhaust). Thanks for the input everyone. I had seen the specified torque for the head > manifold bolts on the engine FSM page posted earlier, but...

    Torque for downpipe nuts?

    I see the "Specified Torque for Standard Bolts" section with various bolt grades, etc., but I couldn't find anything that seems to apply to a 10mm flanged nut. Could be that I'm misreading something? The standard torques table also comes with the following disclaimer that I'm guessing would...

    Torque for downpipe nuts?

    Anybody know the specified torque for the nuts/studs that hold the downpipe to the bottom of the 2F manifold? Can't seem to find it anywhere in the engine or chassis/body fsm.

    Manifold machining/repair in Colorado?

    I left the other side as-is since the riser shaft kinda just sits in the factory installed fitting on that side (internal to the manifold) but doesn't go all the way through.

    Manifold machining/repair in Colorado?

    I just brushed the surface rust off and oiled it. No new coating.

    Manifold machining/repair in Colorado?

    Had this done to fill the (now removed) heat riser bushing location. M20 threaded stainless plug with a copper gasket. In retrospect should have done this before planing as I had to separate the manifolds again to have the riser mod done. Hopefully everything seals up again after I put it back...

    Cost to have new key cut?

    Yeah, should be one key to rule them all. Mine is all matched up as it should be. Seems lots of people replace the ignition cylinder when it gets difficult to start, but a fresh cut key usually does the trick in my experience.

    Manifold machining/repair in Colorado?

    Man, if this weren't true of nearly the entire OEM 60 parts catalog these days. I dropped about $1k on my OEM clutch refresh earlier this summer. Went to an OEM 3FE alternator? $300. I'm used to it.

    Manifold machining/repair in Colorado?

    The more of the thread-and-plug fixes I see, the more I like that over welding. I think that will be my preference, with a blockoff plate and some additional choke time on cold warmups. Now....hoping those exhaust horn ring seals are still available? Looks like I need two per horn?

    Manifold machining/repair in Colorado?

    Thanks for the referral. I will probably hit this up in any case but do you know if he specifically has experience with these manifolds?

    Manifold machining/repair in Colorado?

    @Spike Strip I mostly worry about the longevity of the bushing that the shaft rotates with. I'd hate for it to become a future leak if I don't remove and plug/weld it. Thanks for the block off plate source, I was planning on a Cruiser Outfitter or a SOR block off plate if I eliminate the riser...

    Manifold machining/repair in Colorado?

    @Tancruiser I may take you up on that if I cannot find someone closer. I hear you guys just got a nice storm that I could take advantage of too. Thanks for the offer.

    Cost to have new key cut?

    FWIW I also had the worn key issue, and having one cut from the code made starting my truck 1000x easier.

    Cost to have new key cut?

    Walking out was probably a solid choice, that dealer sounds crap. IIRC my local Toyota dealer parts dept guy did it for the cost of the blank after I had given him the code, same as @89fjlandcruiser Can't provide any info on if a non-Toyota guy can do it from the code.

    Manifold machining/repair in Colorado?

    So far I've split my manifolds since the insulator between was definitely cracked in pieces. Lucky for me both halves came apart without much trouble. Although my exhaust flap is currently not frozen, I think I'm going to preemptively remove it. How much trouble am I seeking since I do...
