Thanks. Tell me more. I couldn’t find much about adding shims with a new suspension install. Why 3 degrees, not 2 or 5? Not even sure where to look for shims.
We've not had any problems with the suspension and I would recommend it to others. I may look into a new suspension for the 40 next Spring, we’ve liked this one so much.
Thanks. I appreciate that. It’s a long story, but I actually got that dog and his sister from the Ih8mudg. About 12 years ago there was a guy posting two dogs that he had to give away because he had small children in the house. I used mudship to get them from North Carolina to New York where I...
If you are looking for a late model FJ40 as a restoration project, here you go. This is a stock FJ40 currently stored in my barn. This rig will drive onto a trailer.
Why the sale? We've decided to reduce the fleet of projects and let go of one. I bought this 1979 about 5 years ago from a local...
Someone just hit me up with an email about this thread, which I have not looked at for a while. I'm pleased that it was helpful and that others have added to the information. Love this board.
After a year or so driving the rig, I've noticed sound coming from the rear quarter panels. Its not...
I grounded the wire to the carb as described above. No sputtering, quick to start, no dieseling, and no battery drain. Its been a pleasant five day run now. Thanks everyone for their input.
The truck is desmogged. But never dinked with the emissions computer. Its probably a lump of plastic now. Should I be living with the fix I have now, or trying to test the emissions computer.....and fix the FCS ground issue?
I am back and running, no dieseling, and idle at a purring 650. The connector was a bit wonky though, and I suspect that might be the reason that the PO hacked it. The ground wire isn't correct. I tested for power and proper FCS functioning first, but couldn't get a consistent ground. So, I am...
Thanks for these replies. I got out to the barn and was able to search for a new wire. Because there was no factory wire on the firewall, I assumed it was hacked. However, I never thought to look on the drivers side fender. Is what's pictured in my hands the FCS wire? Yes, my FCS has the two...
1985 FJ60 newly rebuilt engine, new vac lines, everything.
I have several interrelated problems (with the truck).
A. The truck has a parasitic electrical bleed somewhere that continues to drain down the battery. If I drive it every day or every other day, I'm fine and don't need to jump it...
We've not had any problems with the unit and I would recommend it to others.
We drove the 60 for about another 2 months last fall, and just got it out again this month. My concerns about the caster correction remain, but I've gotten used to the slight wandering while at speed. I think it just...
Unfortunately no. The guy had owned an 84 60 series since he first bought it, and was moving out to the West Coast. I had a good little email exchange with him, but the tires sold pretty quickly. Thanks for the link though.
