I bought this truck two years a family adventure machine and while it has performed admirably, I miss having a pickup too much. So, I'm putting the old girl up for sale
Here's what I have to offer
1985 FJ 60
Exterior - meh. Generally solid, it has rust forming on the rear fender wells that...
I've been riding my bike to work so I haven't had a chance to burp the system yet, but I'm going to try that tonight since it's the easiest thing to fix. I really don't think that's it though since it's definitely not a "gurgling" sound and I don't know why it would be dependent on engine load...
I finished up my week's project which included flushing the heater core w/ acid and replacing all the heater hoses that connect to the heater core. While everything was apart I also replaced the side cover gasket and most of the passenger side vacuum lines w/ new silicone lines. Upon firing...
Well, they say there's no stupid questions, but I think I just found one. I pulled the hard cooler line on the passenger side of the engine while replacing the side cover gasket and can't seem to get it back on. I scrolled through whatever pictures I could find online, but nothing is specific...
Thanks all! Turns out it was a dead battery, which was a pleasant surprise. I checked all my fuses and had NAPA check the battery and alternator . The alternator got the green light but the battery was D E D dead. I always assumed that a vehicle that was running would keep going if
With a dead...
So the bad news is I'm broke down at midnight 100 miles from home. The good news is that I'm parked in front of a NAPA so hopefully they'll have what I need ... Here's my issue...over the past couple days I've had to jump the truck a couple of times but she's driven fine. While pasßing through...
Why is it special? Because I'm special. My momma told me I was. Now that we have that settled, on to business. The wife and I are pondering going down to a one car family once we've finished a much-anticipated move to a small town in central Colorado. In that vein, I'm curious how much my...
I finally got around to pulling my shackles to replace the bushings and I found the lower pin to be seriously corroded and manky. So Id like to replace my shackles with some regular ol' shackles but I need to clear something up first. Are the front and rear shackles the same? MAF sells a set of...
I'm not sure if this is the correct section to post this in, but I found a somewhat scary amount of rust lurking under my windshield gasket and need to get it fixed, pronto. Does anyone happen to have a recommendation for a good body shop in the Colorado Springs area to get this done? Also...
I'm looking for a pair of front bumper brackets for my 60 (it's an 85, but I don't think that makes a difference). A little bent up is fine, but they need to be serviceable. Thanks!
I picked up a decent bumper for the front of my '60, which was missing one bumper bracket when I bought it, and I'm eager to have something in front of my grill other than optimism and luck. I figured the bracket would be a no-big-deal part, but Toyota doesn't even have them available and the...
