Hello all. My son and I finally have the 89 FJ60 torn down to the chassis. Our plan in broad strokes is to take the engine to Redline for a freaky fast rebuild. I spoke to the shop and they have a 2 month lead time right now so we plan on just plugging away while we wait to have it done.
We are grinned down all the rust from the chassis and plan on starting with a Old Man Emu suspension. We are not mechanics and are just using sheer willpower and ignorance to get us through.
I have a question for the group. If you were rebuilding a truck from the ground up...what would you make sure to do while you have it all apart? We are looking to just have a nice truck for getting around to camp and ski. No real serious offroad planned so making it just a nice rebuild for a father son project. Thanks for the help.
