wow. some harsh comments. but oh well. i love the 60.its nostalgic for me. my unlce took us 4 wheeling as kids in his. its nice for everyreason that people are talking about. it stand out, its bigger, it looks cooler. it has ac. but you know there are some cons to the beast. it is terrible...
i wanted the fj cruiser before i bought the fj60 but didnt want the payment. well i have had my fj60 for two months now. its nice, i love it. but i am thinking about selling and getting a nice used fj cruiser. my 60 is lifted with baja claws and my dd. and plan on doing that to the fj cruiser...
like everyone im a car watcher especially fj's.... so i think it would be a 5k-6k but thats my opinion. its a very clean fj. but there is always something to fix on these. and alot of those things even a mechanic wont be able to see in a test drive or a look around. i picked up a 87 with 170k a...
just thought i would give an update if anyone was following this. started into the linkage and sure enough the transfer case is fine. manually place it in all positions and it works like a dream. except for the leak coming from the seals. anyhow, got it back into 2hi to drive to work. left the...
charlotte nc area. i have talked to a guy around here that is a cruiser head. but i figured id jump into it and if i cant figure it out still id pay somone to look at it. i just didnt know if there were any pitfalls with the bushings. i just changed the power steering pump and holy hell if i...
last thing before i go blazing into linkage world. any advise. i know that the lo selector can fall into the case so i wont mess with that. and i actually have a picture of that so i know its working right and its tight. so now im going to remove some of the other linkage connections. to me on...
everything above. also maybe the fuel filter. you can read this on other threads and i dont think it was mentioned above but the exhaust leak.. were you talking about at the manifold? if you thought there could be a leak there you should spray carb cleaner on the manifold while running. if it...
ok i stole this picture from another post but it shows clearly the problem i am having getting into 2hi the shifter is hitting that piece that the picture says to cut. did i mention that it is extremely hard to get into 4lo. and i imagine wrenching on it to the one side has moved the shifter at...
sorry for there being a lack of information, it does have a high lift. i looked underneath at the linkage and it seams to be binding with a bracket at the point that it goes back into 2hi. still doesnt explain why it wont shift to 4hi. i did engage the locking hubs. tried all kinds of...
i have an 87fj60 been driving around in 2hi for a month now. decided to go off road. put it into 4h and drove it till i found a hill. put it in 4lo attempted the hill and realized no front wheel drive. when i tried to shift back to 2hi to drive away it wont go into gear. it grinds loudly in 2hi...
its a 60 so its manual. but the clutch engages practically all the way out. so i thought maybe it was the cluth was rubbing on. possible i need a new clutch or it needs to be adjusted. it does it in in nuetral sitting at lights with the clutch disengaged (pedal released). and it goes away with...
im desmogged. i have a weber eco model on mine with an auto choke that doesnt work right now and mine starts up at 30f. pump 5 times and it goes. you might get better mileage out of a stock. but you have to figure out which ports go where. i have the stock carb and am thinking about getting it...
