    Sustainable "SHTF"/Self Reliance Utility 4WD Vehicle

    Josey - Thanks for the reply. I currently have "1 and a half" Fj62 ( 1988 and89) Never had a 60, but I like them.. Do you think the 60 ( in the durability , maintainability )is worth switching over to? All my wrenching experience / knowledge is on the 3FE ( EFI and all that) .. Changing...

    3FE just overheated and cut off - Am I screwed?

    Driving my FJ62 (engine has 130K ) and noticed knocking getting worse.. About the same time I saw the temp gauge hit the orange, she cut off.. Waiting for it to cool down .. What's to be expected in this situation? Never had it happen. Thanks in advance..

    Somewhere in between - not on-fire billowing out but more vapor than usual. .. I guess about 90-100K on this engine 40K when installed in my 89' and 50k since.. Waiting for call back from shop.. Hoping it's not too bad.

    Knocking then Engine Cut-out in 89 FJ62 3FE

    Oh no.. Not the dreaded oil galley plug - I do not recall them replacing it.. Not likely cause I was not wise to it then either. I did not check the level after the break down.. I just changed oil/filter two weeks ago and all was still good during ignition work this weekend.
