Just replaced my long-lived BFG KO's, that are 32x11.5x15, with new KO2's on larger wheels.
So the previous set of tires, including the wheels, and the almost never-roaded spare, are FREE TO A GOOD HOME! They're given away in "as-is" condition.
If you're in the Eugene area, or really anywhere...
I posed this to some in my club, but thought I might post it to the 'MUD 60 forums, too, in case the discussion might help others down the road (and me before the tire sale runs out on June 1... ;) )
I'm trying to decide what tire up-size (and wheel up-size?), if any to do beyond what I...
Hoping someone out there might have an idea what part is missing here in between two major wires in my wiring harness... or do they connect separately somewhere to other things?
My truck is a Canada-spec HJ60, 24v, originally with a 2H, but now with a JDM 12HT. Last fall, I had a shop do the...
I've looked everywhere I can think of for frame diagrams for 60-series. :confused:
The "Tech" section here on 'MUD has diagrams for 40's and 80's, but I can't find much for 60's elsewhere on the site. :hhmm:
Any thoughts on this, or links to diagrams would be much appreciated... If I...
My venerable Canadian-born '86 HJ60 has terminal frame rust. After much searching, I have found a very inexpensive '83 FJ60 with a very clean frame and most of the body. It's within easy trailering distance, and the price makes it nearly impossible to pass up.
But I'm not sure what...
What could you do with nearly endless traction and bottomless torque... in something much, MUCH bigger than a Moab 'crawler? Imagine the possibilities of eight wheel drive (or even six...), an immense diesel power-plant, and a 20' long flatbed to boot... :cool:
I don't know how I came across...
So, after 15 years in and out of the "build" side of the "design/build" part of my profession, and because of the move to Prescott, I'm gettin' rid of stuff in a big yard sale this weekend. Mostly construction stuff/tools, some household stuff. Some auto stuff, but not much in the way of...
Well, despite my delusions to the contrary :doh:, I found out that 20 years in the rain/snow in Canada *does* have a negative impact on frame health, after having weak areas spotted on both frame rails, just forward of the rear axle "arch" in the frame in my diesel 60.
So, I am looking for...
Saw this article about diesel-hybrid off-road vehicles by Jeep and Land Rover...

For all those that have asked about it, I finally made the time to write up the story of importing my HJ60 from Canada last year.

I finally got around to writing this story down... Finding, Buying and Importing my HJ60, with it's 12H-T motor and H55 transmission.
The search took nearly a year, and then the buying and importing all happened in a matter of a couple of weeks. Total cost (other than the vehicle and...

Extra-clean '85 FJ60 in AZ
1985 Toyota FJ60 LandCruiser (Land Cruiser), 4x4 (wife says it's time to get one of the 'Cruisers out of the driveway...) :doh:
I think of this one as an “Upgrade Starter Kit” because it is nearly all original, and has not been modified from stock ever. So, it...
1985 Toyota FJ60 LandCruiser “starter kit”, $7450 or reasonable offer (I just want to get back some of what I have in it to pay for the bio-diesel 60's upgrades needed soon...)
