1985 3FE Swapped FJ60, a Refresh (2 Viewers)

[Godwin]

I’m currently putting on new Tie rod ends… figured I would take my vehicle to an alignment shop. Maybe I’ll give this a shot.

This tool DIY Toe Alignment Tool - https://www.tmrcustoms.com/collections/tools/products/diy-toe-alignment-tool, for the cost of an alignment at a shop you can do it yourself. All the shop will be able to adjust is the toe, so why not DYI?

The PS motor mount I didn’t replace failed, swapped that out this morning. I had to pull the A/C compressor off to access the top nut.

@Bama4door found a fifth 70 series wheel so I bought another 235/85r16 as a matching spare.

I swapped out the tach with the correct one for the 3FE from an FJ62.

More RPMs on the tach = more racetractor

Recharged the A/C today, no leaks so far and frigid.

I pulled the diff from the 80 series FF I picked up a while back, it’s tight and looks like it was rebuilt not too long ago. There are paint markings present on the ring gear and the thrust washers looked good. I installed an Aussie Locker in it this afternoon in preparation for swapping it into my front axle.

I noticed a wet spot under the passenger floor pan today, looks like it may be time to say goodbye to the rear heater.

Hmmm. That’s too bad.

Check the lines. Maybe it’s coming from there. Mine rusted through and had them replaced.
