    How many Scepter MFC's can a 60 carry in the back?

    Ok, we all know that 60 series trucks have a bit of a black hole going on, with regards to what can be carried inside, especially with the rear seat up and in place.... A few years ago we had to move about a ton and a half of diesel, over a few trips of a number of miles, and I was amazed at how...

    Scepter MFC gaskets, how to tell them apart.

    I've been using Scepter MFC's for years now, with both Viton and Nitrile (BunaN) gaskets. Sceptres change to grey Viton material has made identifying them easier, but many of the older scepter Viton gaskets are black. Some with a small notch, and some with a yellow paint mark on the rim, but...

    60 series Brake Master Cylinder replacement - NOT BECK ARNLEY!

    Aluminum vs Stihl for Bullbars??

    Thinking about beefing up the old aluminum aussie bullbar on my 60 to make it a bit stronger for the backroads and decomissioned logging roads up here in BC, those pesky alders grow big and fast in all the rain!:idea: So I thought maybe I'd add some stihl reinforcing! Anyone have good ideas for...

    Amazing overland expedition book!

    Was in a used bookstore last week and came across a 1957 book called "Adventurer's Road" by T.R. Nicholson. It's the story of the 1907 Pekin - Paris road trial and the 1908 New York - Paris road race. I saw the Australian tv series where they recreated it a few years ago, but to read about the...

    Stock Toyota 3B Clutch Kit Info

    I'm replacing my rear main seal and figured that I should replace my clutch at the same time. The shop that rebuilt (seals and bearings) my tranny and TC 100,000km ago (at 300,00km) put in a Valeo korean clutch kit and turfed my factory unit, with over half the disc life remaining. Sigh. And...

    B engine valve springs

    Does anyone know if the B engines came with single inlet and exhaust valve springs or did they come with double valve springs like the 3B? I thought they all had doubles, but just came across a rebuilt B head (very low miles, about 2000km) with single springs on each valve. Perhaps the inners...
