How hard is it to remove a BJ74 body and put it back on?
My employer has a pair of them and rolled one, the other has a rusty frame. They asked if I could switch the good body onto the rolled truck with the good frame.
I have a big crane in my shop that...
Started feeling a slight vibration when changing gears.
After about 10-20 minutes I was driving in 5th and things seemed to go haywire (clutch slip I think?) and an extremely loud knock started causing me to pull over and turn off engine.
Knock is in time with RPMs
Initial look under hood...
I put a big dent in my passenger side rear quarter one day when I backed into a cement post. Guess that's what happens when you're used to huge plate bumpers and you leave em at home!
I swore an oath to the cruiser gods that I'd fix it someday, so here I am... learning to weld. Hopefully...
Hey all. I've been lucky enough to acquire a 3b PS setup, but things aren't all lining up so I have a few questions you guys might know the answers to.
First - I read that there's a 2-bolt and a 6-bolt crank pulley. Mine is 2-bolt and I read it's possible to just have a machine shop add some...
I need the basic 3b crank pulley with 6 bolt holes.
I am not looking for the power steering pulley - I have that, but unfortunately discovered that all the 3b crank pulleys I have are either 2 bolt or something strange, so I have nothing to bolt it on to. SO CLOSE!!
Years ago I put a turbo on my 60, but things went awry and I was left with an NA 60 with a custom exhaust that has no muffler.
This sucks. Does anyone on the island have something kicking around that would improve my situation?
At the very least I'd like to find the little springy part that...
I've had this FJ62 sitting at my dad's house getting rusty for probably 8 years now. Time to finally get rid of it in the most humane way.
There's a bunch of stuff I've taken/want off it for my BJ62 but much is up for grabs.
Gone:
-drivers side front fender
-seats and carpet
-grill
-wiring...
After a mishap driving to Mexico last year with no bumpers, I now feel I should try and sort something out. I know there's an actual section for classifieds, but I don't really want to deal with shipping etc, so curious to see what people on the island might have.
Prefer something that can take...
Last year I backed into a cement pole in Mexico with no bumper. Yeah, stupid to drive to Mexico with no bumpers.
I'm not a bodywork expert, but I know enough to know it's not going to be an easy fix.
Would love any advice from those who know more than me on where to even start with this. Any...
Hey I'm in a bit of a fix and need front brake discs for an FJ62.
Just inspected mine because they felt funny and discovered that the pads were all the way down and the disc was so thin on the back it pushed through with a toothbrush...
Might also need calipers as at least one seems...
I have a beautiful shiny red hoist that I bought on CL to do my clutch, and now it's just sitting outside as I have nowhere good to store it. If anybody on here needs one, I'd love it to be kept somewhere sensible/made use of rather than sitting in the rain doing nothing. I think it's rated to 2...
Hey I'm traveling South on the 101 in an FJ62 and I realized I forgot bumpers. If anyone has any bumpers to sell, preferably durable ones and cheap, I would love some.
I'll be heading East for the east coast of texas after san francisco, so bumpers located anywhere along that route are much...
I'm back to n/a and looking to swap my 3" (I think) straight pipe for a stock exhaust pipe with muffler.
My truck is loud, will buy or trade, either way.
There must be loads of stock exhausts out there??
Hey all. Not having been able to find a replacement turbo for one I killed, and wanting to leave on a trip soon, I wonder if anyone on the island might have a stock BJ60 exhaust (or something close)? My cruiser is very loud as-is and I have a long drive ahead of me...
I have a great (well...
Hey I'm just looking at a replacement turbo for my 3b.
I found one on Craigslist from an acura integra. Garrett M24 compressor AR .42. He says he's trying to find the trim thinks it might be around 40 (I'm a bit lost on trim numbers)
Trying to get the turbine AR from the guy, but a quick...
A while ago I remember coming across a post by a guy on the island making frames for 60's... I thought he was selling them for like $1200. I've searched and searched but can't find the thread.
Just went up to Chemainus and looked at a BJ60 named Lance who could be so much more than a donor...
So I just bought a new Exedy clutch for my BJ60, and noticed it doesn't look like the old one.
The Exedy website appears to say that this one will work for a BJ60, but it's a bit sparse and cryptic. I bought model #16040, but now it looks like the #16006 is the more common/standard one, even...
Anyone know of a wrecker on the island likely to have T25's, T3's cheap? Was going to base my manifold decisions on what I find, just wondering if anyone has a good place to look.
Cheers. (P.S. I'm open to what you've got too)
Hey all,
So I've been staring at my 60 for a few years now, apologizing to it every time I do. It needs some preventative rust removal... I had a go at one point with sandpaper, but the rust has come back through those spots... it's not bad, just barely showing.
Anyway, I'm trying to figure out...
Hey all,
I did a search but didn't come up with anything that specifically relates to what I'm hoping to do. Under the windshield gasket of my 62 rust bubbles are occurring, and water leaks through. I have another 62 that I believe has good metal in this area.
My question is, do you guys think...
