Thanks for are all good answers. This is the reason I hang in here. I've owned this same truck for the last 17 years, and have learned a lot. I checked the diff for oil and it was actually overfull. I must have had the last regular oil change done at the only service station here on the...
I just noticed this today. This is a seasonal driver summer time only, and less than 2000 miles a year. The other side has some crud and dried grease, but not anywhere near as much as the passenger side. I'd like to keep driving it till the fall when I have time to get it into the shop. I would...
I got my Sag conversion and Jim's Air Pump idler installed. Honestly if I can do it any fool can. I am dangerous with a tool in my hand ;) I did want to include a picture I think will help if anyone needs to know which part to grind/cut off on the OEM bracket. I know I had quite a bit of...
OK OK.... I know how much we all like pictures... I crawled under, and banged away with my ball pein hammer. Mainly banging behind the rear wheels. Luckily I had those glasses on, as the dam mud/rust crap went everywhere. I didn't get it in my eyes, but hearing that was already compromised...
No not Gravina. I'm over on POW. I drive up and down a gravel road to get to town. Siketi has been all over the island, and travels over pot holes, that I call tank traps. I honestly don't think you could design a better vehicle for the environment I live in.
OK great info, and lots of things...
I am the owner of a 1985 FJ60, that I've driven here in SE Alaska for the last 10 years. I had purchased her from a friend in Oklahoma back in 06. I had some work done on the interior, a few things painted, and lots of accessories added. Have you ever been emotionally attached to a vehicle? It...
I was saving the weld a bolt in place as a choice. I just don't know how much my welds are stressed for... :-) Typically they look so sloppy, I am ashamed for someone to see them.
Can I get the Front Axle Lower Spring Seats? Actually I only need the driver's side front The shock mount broke on one of mine. Shipping would be USPS Priority Mail to 99921. They should fit in a flat rate.
Can I buy the front axle Spring Seats, and get them USPS Priority Mail to 99921? Please make sure the shock Mounts are in OK condition.
Thanks

I need a lower front driver's side spring seat. I had called CDan, but shipping here via UPS to SE Alaska is outrageous. Does anyone have one lying around that is serviceable, that I could buy, and get you to USPS Priority Mail?
I will also check the "Parting Out" section, but I am broken down...
My shock mount on my front lower driver's side spring seat is broken. I need a replacement, and although I found an OEM through Cdan, the UPS shipping here to Alaska is prohibitive. Does someone have a functional one that they can ship Priority Mail? I will also check the for sale parting outs...
Success!!! That worked. I used a T- tap on the yellow and white. Then the trigger works as per your suggestion. What a group!
Now just have to wait till 3pm when it gets dark to align the lights :-)
Do you see the Blue wire connected to the fender well? That green wire at the same bolt is my ground for the Hella lights.
The pic is from the plug from the driver said.
Pics of setup
Here is the pic of the headlight plug.
Then the setup on the passenger side fender. The yellow wire is the trigger wire which you can see is not yet connected. The red is + side of battery with inline fuse. Blue ground to chassis. Black goes to Lights mounted on ARB bumper. The...
I'll try to get up to my shop this morning, and take a picture of the Hella harness, and the headlight plugs. I had seen a picture of the plug on another post, but can't find it now. I do remember that the OEM headlight plug does not have anything but red/blue leads going to all three pins.
I...
