    Rebuild Kits?

    Bought one with (only?) 100 k on the clock in austin recently for 500. 9 hr trip, one way, had to buy a 900 dollar trailer for the beast once there because I couldn't get it in the Tundra without possible damage to the beast of a motor, the pickup, or both.. Ever ask yer self, "what the hell...

    Central Texas - Who to use

    Edwin did some work for my bro a few yrs ago and I've seen him tinker with cruisers at an event. I would go to him; seemed to be fair and works through problems; seems to have been around lots of 2fs. If you have a Weber that's why its running rich. A good stock carb is best. Fuel...

    did ARB every make a rear bumper for a 60?

    For instance, here it is holding up to some driveway punishment with three, yes count em three seven foot tall bookcases onboard. The rear quarter panels were never even scratched and the rear sliders held up to any obstacle in my driveway. Word up.

    did ARB every make a rear bumper for a 60?

    Everyone knows that Smittybilt totally rocks. The steel is almost twice as thick as tin foil (and I'm talkin Reynold's Wrap here). Actually, for lightish wheeling it holds up pretty well, and I've integrated rear Q panel/rear sliders now so its OK. And it has a provision for a spare and...

    safari guard bumpers

    Here's a pic of one on my 60. Another thing some would consider an advantage is that it is a little lighter but still plenty strong; not as hard on handling/suspension etc as ARB.

    Line-x for you 40'ers...

    To do it right, you have to remove everything (incl the steering column). Prep in the key, it needs to be rust free if possible and rough, about 80 grit. This is easy on large flat surfaces; difficult in nooks and crannies. I prepped and taped my own tub then had trouble getting anyone who...

    Distributor Octain Adjustment

    Or if your marks are worn off you can use a timing light and see which way the mark moves. If the RPMs pick up at idle, you are prolly advancing.

    Ping / Knock chasing

    Run high octane gas, which is PING or KNOCK or PRE DETONATION resistant. Do a compression check; after desmogging these engines sometimes end up with HIGH compression therefore requiring high octane fuel. Not sure how the MSD with larger gap would affect things. Stock gap is less. A...

    Price Check on FJ60 w/ conversion

    About 5 to 6 k if conversion done well and all runs good and cosmetically good. Sounds like a TBI motor due to year; good simple reliable set up. What adapter? I bought an 82 in Stockton last year, on Ebay. 1990 TBI; AA Ranger OD adapter, two small rust spots, clean interior with no rips...

    Advice on buying a 60

    Look in the vehicle for sale section of this forum. There is a nice V8 J 60, sprunged over, for around that amount of money. If the conversion is done right and runs well, it would be worth the drive/fly to pick it up. Its in Cali.
