All, I’ve just installed a rebuilt driveline into my 1985 60 and am at a crossroads on how to take the next steps. During my project planning and acquisition phase, I purchased a sniper kit from @FJ60Cam with the intent of installing this on the truck at some point soon. That said, I now...
Hello All, It’s been a while. I’ve been collecting parts, bolts, nuts, engine, transmission etc and am now on the upswing. Got the transmission and engine marriage completed today and got the lump back home in he truck. Want to say thanks to @cruiseroutfit @FJ60Cam @Cruiser Cult @TRAIL TAILOR...
Hello All, I’m getting ready to marry my new transmission to my new engine and need the following torque specs. If someone could provide them or point me in a direction where they can be found, I’d be thankful. Engine is a 2F and transmission is an h55
Flywheel to crank bolt torque

Hello All, I have a 2F engine and 4 speed transmission from a 1985 FJ60 for sale. I will sell them separately or together. These came out of a truck with 180k miles on it. The transmission shifts nicely and is in nice shape. The engine runs well with good compression but burns a lot of oil...
Hello All,
I'm in the process of gathering parts for my swap to a fresh 2F engine with and Sniper kit from our friends Mosley Motors @FJ60Cam . Given this, I have the dilemma of also upgrading the transmission from the current 4 speed. I'm really on the fence over this so looking for some...
As the title implies, I’m considering an H55 for my 1985 FJ60 and would like to purchase from a mud member/vendor if possible. Can anyone recommend a good place to purchase? Also, from my limited research, looks like this transmission will bolt right in, is this correct?
thanks in advance...
Hello All, I’d like to upgrade my steering box to an 80 series unit. Can an recommend a good source, would prefer to “keep it in the family” and purchase from a mud vendor if possible.
thanks in advance for the help!
Hello All, after much effort spent getting my 60 tuned up and running properly (thanks to all the great help here) my engine still drinks oil. Given this, does anyone have any recommendations for an engine rebuilder somewhere in the Northeast? I’m willing to drive the engine within 12hrs for...
Okay All,
Today I tackled the job of replacing all of my valve guide seals( well10 out of 12, more on that later) so I thought I’d share my experience.
Tools needed:
3/8” metric sockets in regular length, 14mm and 18mm deep
12mm wrench for adjusting valves
A couple 4mm x 300mm bamboo skewers...
Hello All, I've got some fog lights I want to install and was wondering if anyone can recommend a good harness kit they liked. I'll be installing them on the top of my front bumper. I'm leaning towards the ARB one but wanted some other input. I've looked on Amazon but many seem of...
Hello All, Looking for a factory switch as I need to toggle some fog lights. I can re-purpose another flavor of switch as needed. Let me know what you have!
Thanks, James
Hello All,
I'm 70% through my desmog on my 1985 FJ60 and have a couple questions:
1. From what I understand, if I perform the "green wire mod" I can remove the emissions control unit as well, is this correct?
2. Since I'll need to set the idle mixture, can I run the truck with the air filter...
So, I’ve now had my 60 for a couple months now. In the process of baselining and fixing leaks, I’ve run in to some real gems of automotive “repair”. Thought I’d start this thread for those who want a good laugh as well as for educational purposes.

PO: Front caliper bolt...

Hello, looking for a bsv 1 valve as mine is damaged. Anyone have one for sale or know where I can find one? Also, if someone has a part number, that would be great.
thanks in advance!
cheers, James
Hello All,
During my front knuckle rebuild I found out the t the P O or mechanic stripped the lower threaded ear for the caliper mount😱. To add insult to injury, they put in a larger fastener which is stripped as well. That said, I would like to install a time cert to get the threads back to...
Hello All,
I’m looking for three clips for an FJ60 air box. Do any of you have some you’re willing to part with? If so, shoot me a response here or via PM.
cheers, James
Hello All,
As I work through the engine bay fixing crimes from a previous owner, I stumbled on to this. Can anyone let me know what this small black component does which is bolted to wheel well below the coil, is it stock, where the missing wire should go and what the part number is? I see a...
