    I Got A New Bike

    Was unable to stop on a rainy fall day down the hill to my house. Riding road bikes 30+ years and sick of bad brakes. On mtb i stop fast with fingertips. Sold the old bike and scored this disc braked thing locally. Luckily pink and rust under the paint so price was right. Took 3 months to...

    I'm riffing on this recent thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/3b-voltage-question-yes-another.1290280/ Similar but different. Truck wasn't driven for a few months. Started driving and noticed dash voltage was low. Car driving fine I ignored it until a week later the charge buzzer...

    Help Diagnose my 3B -- Blowby!

    I was sitting at a stoplight and noticed a bunch of smoke from around the right front. Pulled over and opened hood, the tiny pipe I call The Blowby Pipe is smoking like a chimney. Open oil fill cap and same deal, huge pulses and smoke coming out. The radiator was a little low, like 4oz, and...

    Diagnose Last Nights Steering Pump Thing

    I had some sort of steering pump issue and I'd like some eyes on what happened. I've no experience with steering pump. Last night I had to do some extreme parking. Reverse parallel parking into a tight spot while facing down a pretty steep hill. With expensive cars front and rear. All was well...

    Door Seam Rust - The consequences of chronic neglect can be dire.

    OMG. I think this is beyond my skills. I think I need a new door. And a paper bag to breathe into. Like the dentist says you gotta floss twice a day. Doctors tell diabetics to stay on top of their blood sugar. And fj60 owners need to stay on top of proper drainage and sealing. Whatever that...

    Hi Again and Rusty A-Pillar

    Hi folks. I can't believe how long its been since I visited this site. I'm seriously stupid for not looking things up here. The amount of good work and knowledge recorded here is just stunning. I spent a year trying to treat/stabilize rust chemically: por15 (too toxic!), zero rust, rust...

    Rear Frame Shock Support Cracked Loose

    Driving along loving my cruiser, an 84 bj60. Stock tires, 2.5" OME lift. Going through a parking lot with those little steep speed bumps, maybe 3" high. Light load, just 2 spare tires and some tools in the back. After running over the third little speedbump at 15mph I hear this growling sound...

    new bj60 in seattle

    Hi folks, This forum is an amazing asset and part of the reason I committed to a bj60. I imported mine a few weeks ago from 2hrs north in BC. Its an 84, early axt turbo, ome springs, no pyro or boost gauges. While I was looking I had names for each candidate to keep them straight, the one I...
