    Tricks or tips for removing 62 door panels

    To remove the window winders try a piece of loose weave material, slide it between the winder and the plastic spacer thingy. Move the material in a circular motion around the winder, this will pick up one end of the c-clip and unclip it. Save having to buy a special tool and once you know how...

    Near newby - photos finally

    It actually leans the right, and no I am not fat. Has anyone had success rectifying the cruiser lean by swapping the rear springs over? I have heard that this may work. Where the springs reversed when I put them in a few years back? I always thought it was just a cruiser thing.

    Sounds good to me, the wife is always on about going to see the snow. Had a couple of 40 degree C (100-105 F) days a couple of weeks back now its a nice pleasent 30-35 C. If you ever head down this way (South west Aust) this is the best time of the year. Vanders

    Near newby - photos finally

    I have owned this one for about 11 years, so it is a very long ongoing project. The next step is to build some storage draws in the back before I take the family on holiday to Ningaloo reef ( the west coasts great barrier reef, only better), in July. Beaufort-fj60 - no it doesn't have the...

    The old girl does have some lift, 2 inches I think, there is over 16 inches from the ground up to the slider. It does however have the usual cruiser lean, mine is to the right, so here is a view from the the left which looks a little better.

    It is only aluminium, but has come through a couple of roo impacts with no damage. Wouldn't mind upgrading to a steel bar but this one has certainly stood up.

    tailgate: would you hinge from side or bottom?

    Just to throw in another idea, why not go side hinged with a drop down table hinged from the bottom of the tailgate. That way you have easier acces to your trailer and a work bench come camp table as well. Vanders

    Glow plugs

    Maybe the heating element has a positive temperatue coefficient i.e. as temperature rises so to does resistance and therefore limiting the current draw. Your starndard filiment light globe works on the same principle. A 60 watt globe on 240v (thats what we are on down here) using ohms law it...

    Stripped Tcase filler plug hole

    If you do end up tapping out the thread use some petrolium jelly, it will tend to catch any metal which can then be carefully cleaned out. A mechanic friend showed me this one when I cross threaded a spark plug many years ago. Good luck

    HJ60 fuel filter/water seperater question

    It was the CAV type that I was looking at so I think I will go down that road. Thanks for input guys. :cheers: Vanders

    HJ60 fuel filter/water seperater question

    Thanks for the replies, I have another question though. The old water seperater is mounted below the fuel tank, so when it is drained no air can enter the system, the after market one will be mounted higher in the engine bay, does this increase the possibility of sucking in air? I guess...

    HJ60 fuel filter/water seperater question

    The water seperater which is mounted on the chassis rail near the rear wheel, has started to seep diesel due to internal corrosion (I know I should have drained it more often). The local Toyota dealer steered me towards an after market type as the genuine ones are around $500. The issue is...

    6.2/6.5 diesel

    Yes but the fun , the fun!! I didn't realise they were that expensive, A work friend got the conversion done on a 60 series about 2 yeas ago, cost him $14K. Maybe the engine rebuild and turbo upgrade is still the best way to go?

    6.2/6.5 diesel

    This is a common engine swap over here in Oz, it seems to work very well. Check out http://www.brunswickdiesels.com.au/new/index.php. This is one of the local shops in West Australia, might have some useful info. This engine swap is also on my wish list.

    Bench Seat

    Unfortunately, on the aussie bench seat, the tilt and slide levers are on the left. You will also end up with the head rest in the middle:doh: . Good luck with the hunt.

    Does your Cruiser lean?

    My HJ60 also leans to the drivers side, but being fom Oz this means leaning to the right:confused: . It is not causing any noticable problems so I have left it alone. Gotta love the 60 series. Vander

    60's & Ebay

    Not on e-bay, but this is what $10,500 aussie dollars (US$8,000)will get you down under. http://www.gumtree.com.au/sydney/69/5538669.html If it wasn't over 4000Km away, and I wasn't so emotionally attached to my HJ60 so much, I'd buy it. Vanders.
