Howdy y’all, just dropping in to see if anyone has pics of custom high roofs intended to add headroom for sleeping in the back. Pop tops are cool (Campteq is the dream but extremely out of budget), but this would be easier and I have some roof rust to tackle so figured might as well completely...
Haven’t had any time to put into Papa Smurf so it’s time to go! Locked up engine but I’ll throw in a 70k mile 22R from a rear ended 2wd mini. Mystery trans (4spd). Driveshafts, suspension hardware, interior etc is good as gone but if you have a first gen parts truck this could be a great move...
Howdy mud, I’m looking for an early (square pattern) FJ60 steering gear box, ideally in good shape or freshly rebuilt but would also consider a core to send out for a rebuild. My box is trashed and I don’t want my only vehicle out of commission for as long as it’ll take to have its box rebuilt...
03 GX470, timing belt, water pump, valve cover gaskets done at ~185. Dobinson all around, SSO air bag delete with Dobby coils, TFR arms in the rear. Thing floats down the highway and absorbs speed bumps with ease. 4runner sliders, 5x SCS Ray10s wrapped in 285 AT3s. Mufflers deleted, Mark...
FJ40 short block we pulled from a buddy’s 60. It had a dead cylinder due to a cracked head, you can have that boat anchor too if you want it, or for extra $$$ I can include an FJ60 2F head that was shaved 70 thou because hot rod.
$1,000
Selling a 1FZ out of a 96 LX450. Had about 220k, then Blew a head gasket. Had head inspected by a machine shop and cleaned and machined accordingly. 25 thou was taken off and she’s ready to run again. Bottom end should be good to go too, didn’t knock or anything, but I could bang the pistons...
1998 LX470 for sale. Was going to part it out but people have been trying to buy whole so here it is-
Pros- Runs and drives great, sounds like a sewing machine. Exterior looks ok.
Cons- No title
Rad, valve cover, steering rack leak.
No power steering (assuming rack is bad).
Been at least a...
I would like to put a 5.3 backed by a ranger torque splitter in my 60. Get at me if you have or know of one for sale! I’m in Houston but can travel or pay for shipping. Thanks!
You might know me from my 60 thread
(Here’s my favorite pic of “the dude”):
Or now @HemiAlex’s 62 thread
And although this vehicle is definitely out of my wheelhouse, I’m excited to own it and have wanted one for awhile. It’s my first V8, tied for my newest vehicle with my 98 Cummins, and the...
Here we go again!
Jan 25, 2020 I picked up Papa Smurf
He needs everything, and I’m going to provide him everything once I get some projects people want to buy out of the way (why are non-personal projects so hard for me to do?!?).
I bought a donor 87 4runner for drivetrain and accumulated...
Hey y’all, before buying new I figured I’d ask here. Looking for a set of drip rail mounts and roof rack cross bars that would work on my 60. Nothing crazy, just want to throw a couple surf boards up there. Thanks!
Hey y’all, just parted out a 1980 or so FJ60 and have some odds and ends left over.
Gas tank in Like new condition inside
Wiring Harnesses
HVAC- heater, evap, blower
Good rear 1/4 windows and trim
Dash frame
Pedal bucket and accel pedal
Radiator
Coil & Igniter
Hey guys, I’ve had a Trekker for a little while and now that I have a drivetrain donor I’m looking into getting the bodywork rolling on it.
https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/papa-smurf-1982-trekker-project.1189292/
It’s an ‘82 with no rear hinges, gaskets or window, and the seal between the cab...
Bought this 1FZFE so that I would have something on hand to stab into an FZJ80 roller. The reality that I already have 7 project cars, 6 engine builds and 2 part outs to tend to, and want to drive my Trekker WAYYY more than an 80 set in and now this thing is for sale.
Didn’t have a chance to...
Hey guys, I have what is probably a stupid question but no normal AC chart covers it so I might as well ask.
Having some AC issues.When compressor is off, pressures are obviously equal at about 100. When I turn the compressor on, the low side climbs and the high side doesn’t really do anything...
Hey all, I’m trying to get my 1984 FJ60s AC going again and a PO hacked all of the wires that go to the AC amplifier and the plug is nowhere to be found. Does anyone have one of these harnesses or the plug kicking around? Thanks
Hey, was wondering if anyone has any 2F/3FE (for 3FE but they look the same) valve adjustment screws and nuts kicking around that they’d sell. Can’t seem to find any and I ruined a couple while freeing up stuck lifters.
Howdy everyone, you may have (but probably haven’t) seen my FJ60, “The Dude’s”, build thread. This is something a little different. A while ago I picked up a 291k mile FJ62 that had been sitting 10+ years. I tucked it away in storage after purchase, but finally got a chance to bring it home...
Looking for some input about a problem my freshly installed 2F is exhibiting.
Long story short, even when just cranking, it’s pressurizing the coolant. Normally I’m able to run an engine without a rad cap to bleed the cooling system, this one geysers coolant out if the cap is off. With the cap...
