They're can be bought cheap if you take your time and look around.
If I were going to do it again, knowing what I know now, I'd get a unit with a decent body and blown engine.
I'd do a V-8 swap for some balls and mileage, and leave the auto alone unless you like dicking around with a clutch...
Just my $.02, I'd do the Vortec swap and be done with it!
I unfortunately had to replace the stock engine in my 89 FJ62 last year. This came about after a service job done by someone else resulted in a damaged engine. It cost $3k with engine and R&R.
The engine I purchased was a used low...
Is that around town, highway or overall?
I'd be thrilled with that. My 89 gets 9.5 I don't give a damned how I drive it:(
Well, at least it's consistent:rolleyes:
Hadn't planned on a criuser. Had a 40 when my son was born but it was to rough (lifted and such) for a baby, so the wife talked me into selling it.
Got caught in a huge rainstorm in the bay area one day that flooded the streets. People in cars and mini-vans were literally stuuck, no where to...
In case anyone's interested, I saw a green FJ60 for sale the other day on Armenia Avenue south Of Hillsborough Ave. at Classic Upholstery.
Called the guy and he say's it's an 83-4 (he's selling it for someone else), has 164,400 miles and the guys asking $5500.00 for it.
You can contact...
I'm in the same boat bro:( I have an 89 and right now, the front axle needs servicing (throwing grease all over the outer wheel and tire), just replaced the engine (although not a problem with the truck-was caused by faulty workmanhip by garage), and just had the tranny rebuilt.
Approx cost...
I have the MAF's on my 89 FJ62. Yes, they did spring a leak. Haven't gotten around to fixing it yet, but I have a top notch exhaust guy. If he can't fix them, I'll probably can them and go back to stock with said mods.
I noticed a little more SOTP feeling at the mid range and top and a slight...
Ok, sorry about ressurecting the dead, but somwhow I ended up with this thread, so there must be a reason, right?
So, why would you need to carry Co2?
Not trying to bash, just trying to learn something new here:)
Thanks
Thats about where I'm at. Maybe a little under but most of my driving is city.
Lifted on 33 at's, ARB bar, slight leak in exhaust.
heavy traffic most of the day:(
(did find some woods a trail and anice little lake yesterday to chill at for a while:)
Could be anything but the most likely is the valve body (simple as dirt /grime or bad as metal shavings) or the seal around the governor.
My rebuild was a tad over $2800.00 and the little ring around the governor failed causing me to loose 3rd and OD.
Banking on a 2-3k repair right off the...
