    Thanks Guys! I'll do just that. It's only been about 24 hours now, do you think it's had time to damage anything yet?

    How to get coolant out of oil & engine

    OK - so I hope somebody out there has had to deal with this at some point that can help me. 83 FJ-60, 2F, Man-A-Fre remanufactured engine - stock except for a DUI ignition, They used a cheaper after market head gasket, so it lasted about 60K miles (nice of them to let you know that in the...

    Changing leaf springs on my 60

    I would think it will cost you a small fortune to have that heavy of items shipped to you from the U.S. Your already in Australia, so I would go with ARB that are made there. I recently put ARB Dakar heavy springs, OME shocks & greaseable shackles, U-bolt flip kit (which fits much better than...

    failed for high CO in northern CO

    In addition to checking all the things already posted, my money is on the air pump. Make sure it's working correctly and actually getting air into the exhaust manifold. If it's putting out enough air (not sure of the spec here) it may not be making it through the valving (is that a word?) into...

    Fan shroud, oil pan, I'm ready to kill somebody.....

    Nick, For my experience with radiators in general, if you think it's not rock solid, just go ahead and pull the radiator and take it to a radiator shop where they can inspect,repair and pressure test it correctly. Trust me...you will be headaches ahead. No leaks, no stranded somewhere you don't...

    Should Rear Mud Flaps Be Re-Installed?

    I can't imagine the any type of SOA could be illagal, as almost every new pickup today is built from the factory as SOA.

    Engine ?? What to do?

    So let me get this straight - you have 40K miles on a engine rebuilt with all Toyota parts that cost 9K. Engine runs great but uses 1 qt. per 3000 miles. So to go the next 100,000 miles assuming no increase in oil use your talking about $100 of oil, and you're ready to spend over 5K to do...

    91 4runner parking brake cable

    Thanks. I was contemplating taking the entire assembly out, but was hoping it was simpler than that.

    91 4runner parking brake cable

    I'm trying to replace the parking brake cable. I have the old one extracted and the new one installed except for hooking it up to the ratched shaft in the cab. I understand (or at least I think that I understand) that the pin towards the fire wall end of the shaft that also activates the...

    Constant Air Injection a Bad Thing?

    That's the way I have mine setup, I completly took the ACV (Air Control Valve) assembly out of the equation and it runs fine. Passes emmisions test with flying colors. I've had it like that for several years now with no noticable problems.

    83 FJ60 Build up thread

    I thought so! It looked familiar. Sounds like your just diving right into this project. I stopped and took a look at it one day on my way to work and thought to myself, here's a rebuild project. The shifter comes off pretty easy, no SST needed. I installed the H55 in my 60 and I love it. Are you...

    T.J. - Congratulations! - Well, sleep as you used to know it is over, at least for a few years. That's quite a little guy you have there. I have a number of "baby things" you might be interested in, free of charge of course. Let me know if your interested.

    Won't start

    Is the engine turning over? What happens when you hit the starter switch? Remember you need three things for the engine to run - Fire, Fuel & Time.

    Ouch !!!

    Bummer about the door! - I'm sure if he's that bad of a driver he doesn't want to get his insurance involved (again I'll bet). I agree with Reobon, get a new door and take it to someone that cares about there work.

    spent last night on the side of the road...

    Ige, So sorry to hear about your escapade. Brian's probable correct though. If your just wanting to find the leak before pulling things apart, I'd just fill it with water when it's cold, start it and watch where it's coming from. Get a inspection mirror in hand first, and shut it down before it...

    Aussie lockers/H55

    Cruiserdrew is correct, however I'll add my experience. I have a 83 FJ-60 that I installed a H55 in last year and I think it makes the FJ-60 much more drivable in today's world. I understand that sometime in 84 Toyota added about a 3 inch spacer into the four speed tranny, thus making it longer...
