1985 FJ60
I replaced if not all EGR valves, muffler, carb, Idle solenoid, cat, plugs, wires, vacuum lines.
It now does not smoke, and yes EGR valves had deposits and were replaced.
Where do I start? Try the golf tee trick? Get a PDF of the lines?
Sadly Im so far in the country and no one...
I have a smurf blue FJ40 frame off.
I guess its black mostly inside, and easy to get black seats. It was black from factory inside so I guess gray would be goofy.
I see the rubber ones, I like the carpet. double liner and tinted blue then covered with Dynomat.
I see a few on ebay and SOR, I...
I have Sky blue, on my factory paint.
I like it, to me the most iconic Land cruiser color.
However the sand gray is awesome.
IS OG paint factory color make a frame off more authentic is sold at auction?
So a few questions,
When I sandblast the frame, my welder wanted to remove the motor and dissemble the frame.
I kind of chickened out so I included a video and my question is can they media blast inside the frame or something I need to know? Sure would be a great time to swap frames and make...
285/70 R17
Will they fit?
Right now I have 285/75/16 stock rims 1994 FJ80.
I know these noob questions make me look stupid I never said I had a degree in brain surgerin,
No seriously I found a killer deal on Craigslist and I badly need tires.
Im not saying its my fault. But the jeep got the worst of the damage.
I have full collision, comprehensive unfortunate however with geico.
just a few questions, im told they wont cover aftermarket items?
My ARB bull bar is bent. My front fender fiberglass part is cracked off.
I have a...
100F plus and my power steering pump overheated?
My 70 year old weakling father managed to get me to assist and we both pulled hard and managed to pull over.
But wow what a defect?
I mean we could have just died, going fast also on a corner!
Bad fluid?
Over heated?
Mod with a cooler?
Just...
Do my father drove his 80 down a long hill really fast about 30 miles.
Hours later, on the way home the brakes would need to be pumped.
The pedal would go all the way to the bottom.
I had to be very cautious and drive very slow back home.
The next day they felt weird, lots of pumping.
I had...
Metalic blue paint.
Im thinkng that gray? I know its not brown or black.
I dont have the rig right now and no photos its in the shop.
And no photos..
is it gray dash so I can order a dash cap?
So I have $2500 cash now to spend.
My new idea.
1. Sand blast BOTTOM OF TUB at home with alcoholic neighbor retired body worker paint shop guy.
2. Blast frame.
3. Lizzard skin bottom,
4. Prep paint frame with what ever.
5. Reassemble.
6. Install smog parts.
Ok then im sitting on a...
I got my father a fully built FJ80 in 2001 with 64K miles.
Its got now 150K its awesome shape but the paint and the Air conditioning!
he is 65 to old to muddle with 100F heat and an old rig.
Iv been looking, budget is $25K hopefully 140K miles.
Any advice iv been looking in LA to Austin but...
I found a smog tech who suggested after I rebuilt my carb and new cat that the computer is making the carb to rich that's they my hydrocarbon is off the charts.
He is booked up so Is there some chip or sensor or bluetooth dongle I can get to figure this out?
When starting up for the first time...
So I have a guy who will take a look at it $$$ already $650 into that little adventure.
When he did my carb he said it was close, but failing on his smog machine (not a BAR smog shop) he just has a tester.
So then I did the new cat and the BAR STAR shop said its not even close and he quit the...
Also there is a duck tape job and the metal tube is loose.
Id like to figure it out, where to start.
It "Warms up" but not hot.
assuming the metal tube needs to be refreshed.
And the duct tape on the air intake is bad.
fj60 exhaust doughnut gasket?
Im in a rural town so I need to get any info the Napa guy can use.
Last time we matched it up with some part.
I failed to find an online manual and you cant trust the parts guy.
Both napa and orilies sent me home with the wrong gasket.
O boy o boy doughnuts.
Not smogged but Iv done a lot of little stuff and some big stuff like carb, hell a lot of stuff thousands so far.
Im thinking this is an awesome rig.
Im going to install a VW vanagon camper system in the back. (remove rear bench seat, install a single size futon, 12V refregitaor that I got from...
California Catalytic converter?
Im still shy on carbons on my smog and I got the carb rebuilt and tuned.
Its close, not enough.
And yes im broke so some cheap cat or a used one?
