Nah. LHD or go home.

I didn’t know this one was still in the area. Was sold at Billy Wall’s car lot on Hwy 471 years ago. The interior is interesting to say the least. Definitely different with wood door panels and a big turtle carved into the center console lid or the odd seat material. Truck was clean and low miles. To each their own I guess.

Land cruiser FJ60 1983

They had this listed on facebook for $10k. After I sold my blue 60 they pulled it down and raised the price $3k.

front axle primed and ready for paint.

Haha. F that. Rattle bomb in place.

There was so much grease and grime on it that there was no way paint was going to stick to it.

Ready for re-assembly (once the rescue box from @beno arrives).

Was about to start assembling and last minute thought was to pop the axle shafts out and pack the birfields with fresh grease. Well I somehow broke the snap ring on both axles, so I’m dead in the water until I get those in.

@JTU are you bringing the 60 next week to Crawl? Really enjoy seeing the progress you’ve made on it.

 

[wngrog]

In the future you don’t need to separate them to grease the birf.

One way to get the birf off without killing that ring is to drop it on a pipe that the inner axle fits into

Slip axle into pipe standing up and drop the two from as high as the axle will allow.

The pipe method is how I separated them. I used the pipe on my 80 series birfs and the ring didn’t break. Guess I have bad luck.

How do you grease the birf without separating them?

Planning on it

You just push grease into them. People make WAY too big a deal over grease and birfs and mixing and this and that.

I hand push grease in until it is full.

 

[FJ60Cam]

I just flush with brake cleaner until it runs clean, then pack with a putty knife.

 

[fountainhead]

Spatula.

Or you can buy a set of RCV axles that now come with gun drilled birfs. Then all you have to do is remove the 10mm’s for the hub dials and put a grease gun on the zerks and fill them up. Removing the shafts is a thing of the past with this set up. It just so happens 49Tire is a RCV dealer...

Nice prices.

Build thread coming soon, but got the Holley Sniper mounted up and even got the factory air cleaner hooked up! Yes, @wngrog it will get cleaned and painted. 155 miles into the efi and love it!

 

[JTU]

Did you need an adapter to mount th air cleaner?

 

[Dustin Messina]

Used this Mr gasket adapter then had to remove rear and front mounting brackets. Used rear bracket on front and plugged back mounting bracket hole.
