We’re also starting another one that’ll end up in Dirty Rob’s (@rboutwe75) sweet 3F’d 70. We’ll switch it over to Sniper EFI when it goes back together.

Glad the prices are still hangin' in there, but this just seems awfully strong for THIS truck:

 
I've got a 86 FJ60 I drive here and there, noticed this evening that it appears I have a rear pinion seal leak problem. Any opinons on what brand to get or stay away from on pinion seals. I'm not stranded or stuck..so I can order whatever...
 
Drug this gem home this morning for the wench.

If she can get it running, may put it back together and try and flip it.

It's an 85 with some lite front end damage. Ran when parked. Still has oil in it, so may do som investigating and see if we can turn it over.
 
Does red head rebuild any box you send? Any of you had a 60 or 62 box rebuilt? Other options? Erin is looking for one for a guy. Thanks

Call them. Super nice. No BS. They will tell you the turnaround time.
 
Yes, send it. I’ve done a 60 box. Just sent an 80 box.

They are more expensive than the regular recommendations, but claim to machine down to fresh meat and use bigger ball bearings.

So far, the 60 box seems to be holding :knocksonwood:

You don’t have to get red paint either. I told them make it all black, like my men. (Airplane! reference for you woke offended mofos)
 
Thank you gents
 
Is there any significant upgrade going from a fj60 (‘87) steering box to an 80 series? Is the steering gear ratio tighter or is the sector shaft just stronger?

I am getting my Redhead box delivered this week for my FJ60. Brad was great to work with.

A little. Not much. Mainly it’s availability. That said the 80 can be upgraded to a 105 sector shaft but a late 60 can’t.
