So I have had this rig for about 3 years and no real issues. It was an FJ60 before the guy I bought if from did a 3B swap.
With in the last week or so I started noticing shifting issues with it. They have gotten worse fairly quickly.
I have a very hard time shifting into 1st and 2nd. At...

So I am looking for some new(new to me) rims for my 60.
I have a 3B and am planning on running 33X9.5
I have been thinking of going back to stock rims.
I am intrigued by non-us 60 split rims. I have read up and talked to some different people and am not concerned about the "you will get...
So what does everyone use when replacing side marker lights?
The hard rubber "frame" is all shot.
I can't imagine that getting another 25 year old set of a rig that someone is parting out will be in that much better shape.
Is there any specific aftermarket brand/model that others have used...
So as the title suggests I have decided it is past time to find and get fixed all my little leaks here and there.
I am looking for products and processes that different people have found that work well. As well as issues to watch out for or safety(to the engine and such) measures to take...
So I realize that this is not an easy questions and there are many variables. That being said I would love to get some feedback from people smarter than I.
So I have a 3B and really like it. Would love to Turbo it and really get to love it.
However, I think in the near future I will be...
I am planning ahead sort of with this.
I assume I will need a new head for my 3B at some point. I would love to go the alloy way at that time.
Know that it will have to come from down under I was wondering if there would be any interest in a group buy to save at the very least on the...
I have a few items for sale. Would like to keep them for spares, but am really in a cash bind right now.
I have a IP, starter and alternator. Both starter and alt are 12v.
Alt. has vac. pump. The starter is in need of some level of rebuild, might need plunger or contacts or even bushing.
I...
So my NA 3B in my 60 around town bairly gets to 190-200 water temp. However lately I have it has been getting much warmer on the highway especially on hills. It will get north of 230.
I am not one to really push it up hills.
Any thoughts? Coolant level is normal.
So I was in my local watering hole the other day trying to enjoy some PBR's and bourbons....when I start getting hit up by a guy at the bar about my diesel 60.
Anyway after 10 minutes of him telling me I have what he wants.....get your minds out of the gutter I meant the diesel 60.
again...
I recently relocated to N.C. and am looking for(as title states;)) a set of stock 60 rims.....15's(since that is stock). They don't need any tires on them unless they happen to be 33x9.5x15's.
Thanks,
Tim
My wife and I are moving to N.C and need to sell our 2001 blue Subaru Forrester, as we are keeping my 60.
It has a tad over 77,000 miles on it. Has had normal maintenance, both driver and passenger rear wheel bearings have been replaced at Carter Subaru. Carter did most of the standard...
Seattle to N.C late July
Just a heads up I will be driving from Seattle, WA to Asheville N.C. with a very short detour to Wichita, KS the end of this month. We will be driving my FBJ60 and a 26 foot moving truck. I should have some room on the back of the 26' truck(I better anyway;))
Just...
I noticed something the other day with my horn. If I have the wheel turned it won't blow. Yet when I turn the wheel back and am driving straight it works normal. Is this normal? It's almost like it's a short but much to consistante to be a short. Yea, I know kind of a lime thread.

So now that I have a mechanical oil pressure gauge I see that I have low oil pressure.
From the manual it says.
Idle 4.3 psi
3000 rpm 36-85 psi
I am no where near that.
Idle is at best 3 when warm and at 3000 rpm I am not making 20.
Running 10w-40 Amsoil syn.
Other than low oil levels what...
looking for a set of stock fj60 chrome rims in the Seattle or close area.
If they have some nice 33x9.5x15 at on them that would be nice also.
Shoot me a PM.
Thanks,

Currently have...
