    What did you do with your 60 this weekend?

    Banging around in state wildlife management areas and national forests in Louisiana. Many of these roads you could drive in your grandma's Camry but some sections and spots high clearance, occasional 4WD, and maybe a little winch action is needed. Day 5 and the FJ60 has taken on a light...

    What did you do with your 60 this weekend?

    Nothing but road miles today, about 125. Took the back roads, ran about 50-55 mph in 4th and mileage was improved, maybe 11-12 mpg. Lunch break in a vacant parking lot in nowhere Louisiana.

    What did you do with your 60 this weekend?

    Day 2. Hit the woods. The ATV is used on Louisiana Wildlife Management Areas where I cannot drive the Cruiser (although in the past I did take it down some ATV trails before I had the ATV). About a mile into one trail and the LA mud was too much for the Honda 4 wheeler, but the Warn winch did...

    80 series rear axle with front axle Tundra brake mod

    Thread hijack is ok. The lines I'm using are OEM Toyota and I can't say how the BRH02934 from Cruiser Teq compare. I've been running this setup for ca. 4 1/2 years and a conservative 80k miles without issue. No leaks, good front brakes if all other components are in good condition, etc. The...

    2024 Available Tow Hitch Options Roundup

    That will actually improve rear departure angle since there's no hitch bolted below the frame rails.

    What did you do with your 60 this weekend?

    Day 1 of a 10 day trip from Alabama through southern Louisiana for field work. First day was about 450 miles. Photo is at the Mississippi rest area on I-10. Pulling the 5x10 trailer with an ATV my mileage is a solid 10 mpg, the in-cab vacuum gauge hovers around 5 psi. I can hold 70 mph once...

    Header advice needed for 1986 FJ60

    I can't say that I've noticed any improvements in how the 2F runs. It is a 2F after all. I had a Downey header on a FJ60 that I swapped over to the FJ40, and the Downey was IMO the best of the headers available at the time. It eventually developed leaks and I scrapped it. When I got the FJ60...

    Header advice needed for 1986 FJ60

    3FE exhaust on the 2F is another option https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/3fe-exhaust-on-2f-head.955034/

    Am I overthinking this? 86 FJ60 Axle Swap

    What I have done. Jack up Cruiser and put jack stands on the frame behind the spring hangers. Support the axle, remove wheels, etc. Remove u-bolts. Disassemble shackle, remove rear spring pin. Repeat on side 2. Pull out springs. Roll axle out from under Cruiser. Axle will not fit under...

    What did you do with your 60 this weekend?

    Drove this yesterday. HJ61 with 12HT, slush box, FF rear, etc. etc. Short drive, actually nothing more than launching and pulling out a boat :lol: , but enough to have me thinking about a 12HT swap for the 2F. I've ridden in it and even with the slush box runs great even while pulling a 16' boat.

    FJ 60 potential buyer value question

    Simply based on what you've presented, and only two photos, $10k. Deferred maintenance adds up fast in time and $$. Any rust?

    Potential new purchase

    With that much grease buildup one of the first maintenance issues I'd deal with is a full knuckle rebuild and replace the gear oil in the front diff. The gunk on the knuckles is a combination of gear oil and grease. Replacing the tie rod ends at the same time would also be a good idea, if...

    What is too rusty to save

    What did you do with your 60 this weekend?

    Grinding noise from the left rear brake, running 80 series FF discs and suspecting a bad caliper. Tore into it today and found a seized caliper, one wiped out brake pad, a scored rotor, plus cracked parking brake shoes. I'll soon rework both rear brakes with new rotor, pads, calipers, and brake...

    Who has built the snot out of a 3FE

    Replace the timing belt on the Alltrac and sell it. Replace the clutch on the Forester and sell it. You still won't have enough $$ to build up a hot 3FE, so sell the FJ60. Now you have enough $$ but no longer have the Cruiser to put it in.
