    Exhaust leak near manifold?

    Haven't been on here in a while (guess the truck's been running good!) Pretty sure I have an exhaust leak near the manifold. Exhaust is creeping into the cab with the windows open. Just looking for advice on easy fixes, or how much to expect to pay to have the manifold planed out. Also, how...

    Passed CO emissions!

    When I got my 60 two years ago, it passed emissions but ran very poorly. Over the last 2 years, in addition to a lift and the fun stuff, I have been replacing or fixing: - broken BVSV's -vacuum lines replaced with silicone -finding BB's shoved into vacuum hoses to eliminate components...

    Distributor ventilation? Photo or diagram please!

    I looked through the FSM, and also searched through old threads. I am trying to figure out the correct vacuum routing for the distributor ventilation system. Currently the larger hose looks chopped/blocked. the smaller vent is just capped. The truck is a 84 FJ60 with all emission components...

    Distributors: HEI, DUI, Stock? Opinions please...

    I presume it was my distributor that got soaked and cause my truck to die last summer after running through some large puddles (engine would only run at low RPM so I started by assuming stuck vac advance). I dried/cleaned it out and found that some internal parts had light rust and corrosion...

    install clutch master/slave, how many bananas?!

    I am trying to decide whether I should take my truck in to have it done for $200, or just do it myself. I did my own lift, saginaw conversion, valve adjust, and other stuff, so I am thinking it should be pretty easy. But, I will be working outside in winter, which is not my favorite. So... how...

    Full clutch kit? or just replace master and slave?

    My clutch master is leaking, the clutch went out the other day and I had to re-bleed the system to get it operating again. Also there appears to be a lot of oil around the flywheel cover area, so I think I may need a rear main seal. I believe I don't have enough experience to do the clutch, so I...

    HELP! Big puddles, now no power FJ60

    Drove through some flooded intersections last night and some of the splashes went well over the hood and windshield. Now I am experiencing a lack of power, but the truck idles and starts fine. Fuel is visible in the carb window, cranks fine and starts fine. Pushing the throttle tries to kill...

    saginaw conversion frustration!

    SO I got my saginaw pump from a late 80's volvo mounted up (metric fittings). I got the high pressure line attached and screwed in as far as I can get it. Filled the system and started it up. Massive leak from the high pressure fitting once the system gets pressurized, also the pump is very...

    volve saginaw pump to 2F adapter bracket?

    just picked up a used saginaw pump from an older volvo. Classic 'canned ham' style saginaw. JT outfitters says that their bracket fits saginaw pump models 2068000. I am not really sure which model I have, just that it should have a metric fitting for the high pressure line. Anyone run this...

    FJ62 thirds into FJ60 axles? Birfs too?

    Wondering if I can drop Fj62 thirds into my 1984 FJ60 axles. I saw something indicating that the 62 thirds would fit in 85+ FJ60s, need to know about an 84 FJ60. I have semi-floating. Also, what is required to upgrade to 30 spline birfs? Do the diff's and hubs need upgrade as well? Or do 30...

    Known junkyard seats that work?

    I'd like to find some newer seats for the ride, but don't have ~$500 for a nice new set like the procars... Does anyone know of junkyard vehicles having seats that are compatible or nearly compatible? I've heard of using audi seats, just wondering if anyone knew a good make and model to look...

    worn engine mounts. symptoms???

    I replaced the PS pump about a month ago. the engine mounts are definitely starting to break down and look kind of rotten from the PS fluid. I am experiencing a low pitched, intermittent 'hum' or groaning noise from the motor when at idle, otherwise the engine runs fine (the groan from the PS...

    New Vacuum hose, found some weirdness...

    So I'm replacing the vacuum hose all over my 60 (got nice 3 and 5mm silicone hose from BoostController.com). I got to the Air Bypass Valve (ABV). The line going into the top had a small BB or bearing shoved into the hose. I'm guessing the ABV diaphragm is bad, and someone 'fixed' it by just...

    possible CV rear drive shaft for FJ60?

    Are there any trucks (or other cruisers) that run a CV rear drive shaft that can be swapped into a ~4" lifted FJ60? Just had to do the longer shackles... and now have the vibration. Wondering if there are any models that have a compatible DS that I can find at a junk yard. Any other options...

    What kind of welder does a 60 owner need???

    MIG/TIG/ARC I've done a bit in the past, but don't remember much about specs. I'd like to get something small and affordable, but I also want to be able to correctly fix things like shock mounts or spring hangers. Can this exist (affordable and powerful enough)? How many amps for welding...

    FREE FJ62

    haha, for me... not you! When I was about 11 years old, my uncle got a new FJ62 in white/tan. I was in love with the vehicle. The thing was Bad-A. When I turned 16 I mentioned buying it from him... He didn't even reply, just kind of smiled (I'm starting to get why now). Fast forward another...
