Yota, you're the winner. The ground wire was never connected between starter and frame and would only get enough voltage after multiple attempts to turn the starter over. After running new ground lead the starter turns over every time and it even solved a couple of other gremlins that...
I've just moved to Hattiesburg and have an 87 FJ60 with a 3B conversion that has a few electrical gremlins that I'm trying to get sorted out, anyone have a recommendation for mechanics in the area that are familiar with our rigs?
BTW I will be joining up with you guys as soon as I can get...
Both batteries were tested under load and were ok but they were close to end of life anyway so I just replaced them both with new ones. Unfortunently the problem is still them same as before. Rosco, you might be right on the 2 bad starter deal I will have to have the new starter bench checked...
I've started having a problem starting my FJ60 with a 3B conversion. It doesn't happen on every start but it is becoming more frequent where when you turn the key over the voltmeter goes straight down like a dead battery and you get nothing at all from the starter. I have a dual battery system...

I will have to check but I believe the probe was installed pre-turbo, if so I'll use 1100 as my back off point
The center console is one that is designed for a Jeep and sold from Quadratec with custom mounts. The top is comfortable to rest your arm on and the extra cup holders are nice, though the two for the rear on the top are pretty shallow and I wouldn't recommend any tall cups as they will just end...
Rig drives great, tracks straight and has great power. A bit of white smoke on the start for about 5 seconds and then nothing. Normal boost is about 10 with a max of 12 that I have seen so far, EGT's are 900 @ 60-65mph and the highest I've seen is 1100 on longer hills at max boost or trying to...
Well after looking around for a good while I finally pulled the trigger on an 87 FJ60 with an 83 3B diesel and Garret 2052 turbo setup. Like a lot of us southeast guys I had to import mine from Colorado to find a nice rust free rig. Here are the specs as it sits now with a few pics, can't wait...
Another great experience with Aaron. Just had my new FJ60 shipped from CO to MS and Aaron was extremely helpful even after I had to change the date several times when the shop kept getting delayed in CO. Truck arrived in the exact shape it left and driver was very helpful with the unload and...
