    Appropriate winch for 60 series

    Anybody remember or have a link to a post by a guy who presented the military guide to winching (may have been a year or two ago)? When I read it, I thought it was pretty authoritive. It had pictures and guidelines to everything from the math behind winching to the proper use and techniques...

    Burning smell??

    Check to see if anything is loose - by that I mean when going up hill, it swings back and touches something hot like the exhaust. Is it coming from the front or the back? Another things worth thinking about it everything has to work a lot harder going up hill, therefore it gets hotter. Maybe...

    Attack of the Rodents

    Thanks for all the advise - I like the bucket idea! That's pretty inventive. Also heard about the sonic idea. A friend did that and says it was effective. Almost forgot about this story that happened years ago - Had a TrooperII before the Cruiser. Anyway, GF and I were getting ready to...

    Attack of the Rodents

    How did I know we were going there ?! Hey, it's the wifes Jeep - a 95, came standard with EFI and a 5spd, has 157k and is still going strong. Turns out the garage is big enough for the both of them. The Jeep and the Cruiser have become the best of buds! How's that for scandel?

    HELP, Lots of smoke and steam

    Don't forget to check the smple things - thermostat, coolant freeze point (anti-freeze level), etc. What's the condition of the radiator? Often, if it's marginal, it won't work well if the truck sits. It may be plugged or the fins are corroded. Are the belts tight? Is the water pump...

    Attack of the Rodents

    Anybody ever have this happen - It's winter in the N.East, I have a two bay garage. It's clean, no food - just cruiser parts and my cruiser and a Jeep for company. Lately the temps been in the Teens and a windchill less than -5. Park my Cruiser in the garage like I normally do, close the...

    re-built Clutch master/slave Revisited

    I've had my Clutch Slave blow-out on me s well. Mostly I think, because my clutch is chattering due to a rear main seal leak. When it chatters or kicks back, this dramatically increases the pressure inside the system and the seals actually inverted and blew out. Needless to say, its not ideal...

    A pillar Gauge Pod group buy...

    Rekcut - I doubt you will find pods specific to our trucks. Would be nice. I had to do a little trimming on my pods to fit them. Nothing like major surgery, but just a little cutting. I didn't order my pods from Jegs - I went to Pepboys and picked up what they had in stock - a basic generic...

    Voltage Drop

    From the Positive Battery Post you should have a green conector going to a white connector. Between the two will be three wires. These are the fusible links. They are designed such that if something on the truck draws too much current the link will melt and open. Think of them as BIG fuses...

    A pillar Gauge Pod group buy...

    Been off the board for a little, here is some more information for anybody who is interested (I've used the JEGS website as it's a little better than Pepboys or Autozone's) - The following link is for the 2 gauge pods (a 2 pod setup is about $29 and change)...

    A pillar Gauge Pod group buy...

    I guess everybody wants a pod. It's the basic pod setup. You can buy them in 1, 2 and 3 pod arrangements at any auto parts or perfermance store. The nice thing about these is you can set the lighting to match any interior color. I wanted a backup of the Temperature guage that wasn't...

    Life and times with a 60

    OK - back to reality. Rust / Cancer Issues are as follows - Rear wheel wells have rust holes at the top seam, front and back seams and even the sides. As everybody knows - it's a two piece assembly and SOR wants $1300 each for the new stuff. PO used Bondo / Glass to patch but this is...

    Life and times with a 60

    FJ60_Cruiser - thanks and yeah, I know. Martin - My thoughts as well, however we were both looking for different things. He wanted the room and space a 60 affords and I really don't need all the space. It's nice to have, but I only need the space 4 or 5 times a year. I'm OK with the way...

    What do you think?

    Keep the stock rims and set them up for winter tires. Skinny rims/tires work best in the snow and ice. As I see your in NC, ice is a big concern as it probably ices more than snows. You will also get better mpg with the stock size. As for getting bigger rims and tires - it does have more...

    Life and times with a 60

    I think I have to share this story and it just goes to show the power of our significant others (and I'll even throw in a few technical tidbits to legitimately have this in the Tech Forum): I've been on the fence about selling my 87 60. I've put a ton of work into it doing everything myself...
