    Frame swap on 83 bj60

    Wow, I'd honestly ditch your rig to the cancer. Do you really know how bad it is underneith? How are the body mounts? I'd just pick up a clean rig out of CA or AZ and bring it up. Swap in your 3B. That's my plans.... A frame swap and body work like that is going to be a lot of work!

    Tire on the hood???

    I have my tire up on my roof rack and I HATE IT UP THERE! Talk about heavy to get up there.....A rear swing out would be my first choice, the second choice would be a rear swing out the other side and my third choice would be a rear swing out as well.....

    Talk me out of bolting my rack to the roof!

    Just so you guys know, all BJ60's in Canada came with a roof mounted roof rack, 4 mount locations, all bolted to the roof. I've had a 69 for 10 years now with no issues of leaking in those locations (mind you I've siliconed the bolt holes closed). Also, I've had my home made rack mounted to my...

    My 84 BJ60, the Nipperwagon. SOA, 35''s, Locked.

    Nice! Turbo that thing already. You'll really want it turbo'd for the hills between BC and Alta... Check out my sig line, you'll see my turbo job. With your fab skills, you can easily make your own manifold and source a decent turbo for $2-300 and rebuild it. You'll be glad you did ;)...

    Thinking of Selling my 88' FJ62

    Since I've been looking for a clean 60 out of California for some time now, I'd say you're in the 7-8K range. I just saw an amazingly clean 60 on ebay go for $5100, no lift but mech sound. All the extras usually net you 60% of actual cost for them, so the bumpers and lift don't fully pay out...

    Looking for opinions on this FS FJ62, 1989

    So. What's your question again.... With all that you've listed it sounds like you've talked yourself into it. Sure sounds like a good deal if all that has actually been done. You sound very excited about this truck. If you're happy with it and it's in your budget what's to question???

    Greasing OME leaf springs

    Thanks for the tips (full pun intended :D ) in my defence, I did open the springs up quite a bit and got the grease about 2/3 the way down the pack. That and my buddy gerg and I took a few chat breaks and one break to take the hood off his 60 :D Right on about the swap. Looking forward...

    Greasing OME leaf springs

    Hary, my OME are the heavy/heavy. They have 8 in the rear and 6 in the front. All depends on the thickness too of the lower leafs for the load bearing...

    Greasing OME leaf springs

    No, my buddy Gerg had an actual needle tip that worked really well. I jacked the truck up till I had full droop, then I used a flat head screw driver to open up the springs just a bit more and used the needle tip inbetween each leaf. Took me about 1-1/2 hours to do all four springs.

    Greasing OME leaf springs

    So I greased up my springs last night. All the creaking is gone and the ride is just a bit smoother now :D

    Greasing OME leaf springs

    I'd like to put a bit of grease in between my OME leaf springs. I know the little yellow poly wear washers between the leafs have a hole in them to allow for greasing. So, what tip is used on my grease gun and what grease should I use for this? Tried a search but didn't find anyting.....

    Seat upgrades

    I'm looking at putting seats from an early 90's Toyota Previa into my 60. I'd love to have captin's seats with double arm rests :D

    New Fj60 Owner

    I'd suggest you get a different 60 cruiser that suits your needs. I think I know the truck your looking at and I think you can get a decent DD for the same money or better...
