‘98 Taco 2WD, “seems” my belts are squealing a bunch. Bf Jason isn’t a Toyota guy and he’s the primary driver while his vehicle is down. From his inspection... Belts all look good, non frayed but we’re prepared to replace. They don’t squeal more when turning the wheel but seem to when the heat...
East Hampton, CT. I’d prefer a few club members w/ experience to help me install my engine/trans/tcase. I’m off weekends of 9/19 or 9/26 so whichever works. I’ll provide food and drink.
This has been a long haul and it would be really awesome to have a few of you from the club to make this...
Anyone ever have an oil pump pass the diagnosic test in the 2F Engine book section 4--6, fig 4-13?
"Immerse pump suction end into clean engine oil and turn the pump shaft clockwise with a screwdriver until oil comes out the discharge hole."
I have my stock pump and a pump someone gave me cheap...
Found this interesting thread on HAMB regarding weld thru primers. The last comment in the thread is what’s caught my attention the most. Any of the more experienced welders have an opinion? Weld thru primer, Copper or Zinc?
I was recommended to come here regarding my valve seating because there might be more experienced engine folks here than in the 60 section. 87 FJ60.
Low compression in 2 & 5, 100 dry and wet. I had a shop check the head out, they dipped, pulled those valves, checked lapping. When I arrived to...
In need of replacing my lines as I will be patching my frame asap. I’ve made brake line so I’m not totally clueless at flaring other than fuel being different from brake.
Fuel line is 5/16? Will replace w/ copper nickle. Flares are?
I’ve searched and came up w/ lots of fun old threads but...
Well I had a feeling it wasn’t going to be good when I spotted the crappy weld some P.O. had done quite some time ago and now I know I’m in deep.
Shackle mount is okay. There’s a flat section of metal that is simply welded front and back which resides between the frame and the mount. Mine is...
Posting for a non mud member. I spotted this 40 off the hw and was able to hunt down his house. He is actually looking to sell too.

1978 in great shape including frame. Last ran this summer. He’s gonna charge up the battery and see if it’ll run for a potential buyer. Large property, plenty...
Carb for sale. The majority of it has been dipped and reassembled. ** Not a professional rebuild, will require a once over by yourself or someone more knowledgeable.**
All the ports are intact, nothing has been molested. Great for a truck requiring a smog system.
$200 includes carb, O’Reilly...
Ok so I was hoping someone would chime in after the last few posts I made regarding the route I mocked up this weekend but alas all is still quiet.
I’ve never done this stuff before. You all know me, I fumble my way through and soak up whatever suggestions folks throw at me that are in my...
Cam shaft is out as are lifters, rods, rockers. Truck has to be set at no. 6 compression prior to install. How the f do I figure out if it’s on compression or exhaust? Engine is in situ. Oil pan is off. Trying to listen for a louder hiss but not getting much difference revolution to revolution...
I thought a thread might be a interesting way to get a semi bulleted list of various engine swaps into the 60 for the sticky list. So far I’ve spotted Cummins, Mitsubishi, Chevy.
I know nothing of engines... other than what my hands have touched. I’m not seeking a complete swap but I do find...
Good thing my hair is short or I’d have pulled it all out by now.
Trying to reinstall the rubber channel into the metal runner (yes making up my own terms) for the regulator in my passenger window. All are lined up...
Then for the life of me I can’t get it to hold past 1/3 being rolled down...
87 FJ60.
Took the plunge and bought a City Racer Carb, @Racer65. Got it hooked up and having some funky issues.
Refer to video for my dialog while I try to start. Apologies lighting is way dark but there’s really not much to see anyhow.
IM is out 4 turns (at sea level), Idle Speed is in a bunch...
Two carbs for sale. One is missing the choke opener and it’s linkage. I was told had been rebuilt at some point in the last handful of years. Was on a running truck maybe 6 months ago. $100/BO. 1st three photos.
Second is cleaned, dissembled, comes w/ extra jets. I can put it back together...
My dominating wench... I mean, truck gave me the double finger today and I came near to an MI while getting to the side of the hw at the same time.
Scenerio... 65mph, raining, wipers on, lights, CD player, heat on med... Noted alt gauge fluttering from 12-10-12. When the peg of the water temp...
