    For Sale  Vashon Island, WA: 1985 FJ60 -- fixer upper with all the goodies ready to install

    I've been trying to make the time and space to put parts in this dang truck for three years, now, and it just ain't happenin' and I'm ready to lose out on all the untapped potential to know somebody is actually gonna finish it and drive it. I'm the third owner, bought from the second in...

    Adding a splined yoke to the back end of the split-case input shaft?

    Ok, this is definitely pretty out there, but I've gotten it into my head that it'd be nice to have an extra 50-100 ft/lbs on tap with a beefy brushless motor and a couple hundred pounds of lithium batteries under the floorboards (good for COG 🤷‍♂️ ), and I think I've convinced myself that it'd...

    Saginaw PS Bracket in factory Smog pump location -- who sells one in 2021?

    So, my hacked up Saginaw bracket (with obscene numbers of stacked washers...), meant for an FJ40 and sold by Mark's Offroad is definitely not quite right. My pulley has been slightly off-axis for years, and it's starting to make noise with the belt after 40,000 or so miles. The used pump, 8...

    Toyota vs. *not* Toyota diesel for my 60?

    So, this question has been asked a million times by a million people with a million different sets of parameters. I figure I'd just start my own thread to pick some brains, so I'll cut to the chase. Long story short, the 2F is old and slow and leaky and getting hard to source parts for. It's...

    New H55f going in -- rebuild working 34mm split case or wait for a 38mm?

    Hi, folks! I have a new H55f showing up on my garage stoop today, and I'm trying to decide how to deal with the t-case question. The 60 is no longer my DD, and my budget isn't "as low as I can possibly go" any more, so I'm starting to think I want to check off some high-payoff of 'while I'm in...

    Everything but the leafs for an OME lift -- best bang for the buck?

    Ok, really long story short (and probably a hint of my upcoming build thread), I got a pair of 62 axles to rebuild in the shed. The goal is to do the knuckles/a full brake refresh *not* on the truck in my muddy driveway, or be parked for weeks in the paved flat driveway someone is generously...

    Headers vs. refreshing the OEM manifold? (2020 Edition)

    Short version: I have exhaust leaks, 8 years after replacing my manifold gasket and want the fix to last. Basic Stats: - 12/'85 US-market FJ60 - Cheap-as-possible but properly planned desmog, trollhole carb, and recurved OEM dissy, with no plans to move to a place where any of that matters in...

    Horn Button Thoughts, 5 years after first replacement

    So, I had the infamous intermittent horn problem back in 2014, and finally ordered the replacement for my worn-out original horn pin in 2015, swapped it in, and seemed to solve the problem. Maybe a year ago, it started going funky on and off; today, I put a new pin *and* a new ring in, and have...

    Manifold Refresh -- need part numbers!

    Ok, so, since searching gets me a lot of threads from 2004 referencing NLA parts, I'm hoping I can save several hours of annoying research by just asking for your guys' help. For reference, I did a half-assed, entirely clueless job of replacing the manifold gasket in 2011, without getting the...

    How bad, really, are NAPA/O'Reilly/etc. calipers?

    So, I'm gearing up to overhaul my rear brakes (getting all new hardware, wheel cylinders, shoes, and gonna get the drums turned somewhere locally), but I also want to freshen up the fronts while I'm at it. New pads are easy, but I'm not sure what to do about the calipers. First off, I don't...

    FJ60 manifold-to-downpipe gasket part #?

    My google-fu isn't getting me any useful results, so I thought I'd save a lot of time and just ask... Ok, so, I need a new manifold-to-downpipe gasket for a 12/85 FJ60 with the regular 'ol 3-stud flange and stock manifold and downpipe. I already found a set of new nuts/studs, but I can't find a...

    Missing hood latch spring?

    I'm missing a spring on my hood latch, which should be clear in the picture. Anyone have measurements and/or a picture of how it's supposed to be hooked up so I can grab a replacement?

    For Sale  Front OME U-bolts for 60-series Cruiser

    Brand new, unused OME u-bolts for a 60-series cruiser (4 bolts with nuts and washers total, so enough for both front springs). Had a set disappear in the mail, then show up a couple weeks after the replacements were already on my cruiser. Model number OMEU51 -- these are the round ones for the...

    H41f gears in a late H42f case? Sticking H42f spacer onto H41f case?

    Just spitballing trans/gearing upgrade ideas, and this came to mind: Can you cobble together a working transmission with an H41 gearset in the late version of the H42 with the spacer? Or can you stick the spacer and output shaft/yoke/etc. from the H42 onto an H41 case? Are the parts there...

    Wanna do a brake refresh (pads, shoes, bell cranks), what do I need?

    Title pretty much says it all. My brakes are working okay except for a slight pull on hard braking, and the usual rusty/muddy bell crank problems with the handbrake, but I'd like the peace of mind from replacing all the wear components and cleaning everything before I go on some big-ish road...

    Source for ARB bumper mounting brackets?

    So, I got a great deal on an ARB bumper yesterday, but it's missing the hardware and the brackets that mount to the ends of the frame rails. I found the part numbers for the brackets, hardware, etc., but haven't been able to find them for sale anywhere except a 'Mud thread from 2013. I emailed...

    JDM HJ61 'Turbo' Seats -- Wiring?

    So, long story short, I got a sweet deal on a pair of front seats that I'm 99% sure are from a JDM HJ61, which say 'TURBO' on the upholstery. All the bits on the underside are stamped TEQ like my original seats and have exactly the same bolt pattern for the sliders. The right-hand seat has...

    Let's talk about V8 swaps with a manual

    So, there's gobs of nicely put-together information about V8 swaps with an auto, but the various ways to swap in a V8 with a manual are scattered all over the forums, and a lot of the information is 10-15 years old and refers to adapters that nobody makes any more. As someone who might like to...

    Rear view mirrors that fit (late '85 FJ60)

    So, finally not broke after a few tight months, and I'm fixing all the little, irritating stuff in my cruiser. Basically, I want a rear view mirror (the one inside the cab) that'll bolt up where the factory one does, but isn't completely loose and wobbly with no tightener on the little ball...

    For Sale  Alpine Sport 2326 (~32x11ish) Tire Chains, two pairs

    I have two pairs of Alpine Sport 2326 chains, never used. These are good, beefy chains (rather than cable chains). Here's what they look like: You can google the model to get the list of compatible tire sizes. Long story short, they'll fit 32x11.5, 265/75r16, 255/85r16, etc., but probably not...
