Hey Colorado 60 owners out there!

It's time to clear out the shop of all my left over parts and pieces from my 1987 Fj60 makeover.

This Saturday 1/27 I'm going to host an open shop in Golden and anyone who wants to swing in and take a look at what I have please come by. Anything left at the end of the day is going in the dumpster so if you are interested in anything let me know and I will give you the address. At this point I am in a hurry to empty the shop of all of this so am willing to take the best offer (even if it's free!)

I've got the following:
The truck had 148,000 miles on it before pulling the original components...

4-16"x8" Rims mounted with trashed tires (bolt pattern matches but not sure on offset)
A bunch of different smog components from my original de-smog
A new (less than 500 miles) starter
Re-surfaced fly wheel and new clutch disc
Pretty new alternator
Carb fan (worked before taking it out)
Air cleaner housing
Original Dizzy
Original Carb (needs a good cleaning but functioned fine when removed)
Original Air pump
H42 Transmission, original and not rebuilt. It worked just fine before swapping out to the H55f
2F engine, rebuildable but I went with a V8 instead. Was running somewhat low compression before I pulled it. (1: 105, 2: 105, 3: 109, 4: 105, 5: 105, 6: 112) Wet testing raised all the numbers by about 4-5 psi. Symptoms pointed to piston rings but I didn't dig in to find out.

As mentioned above, if it's still there by the end of the day Saturday its gonna go in the trash. I hate to see any of this stuff go that route but don't have the time, energy, or space to keep it around and try to find takers. So hopefully some of you folks out there will swing by on Saturday and take some of this stuff with ya!

Just drop me a line on here and I will send off the address!

I’m in Denver, but will be out of town Saturday. Would love to take the starter & alternator off you...
 
Ha! Glad to see there is interest! I wish I had more time to wait for folks but I have to be out of the space by the end of the month. Boss, I could extend to Sunday if need be. Or maybe even Friday after work...I will drop you a PM with my contact info
 
Getting a lot of interest in the smaller parts, carb, dizzy, etc. Really hoping to find someone who wants the engine and tranny so I don't have to toss em! Starter and Alternator are spoken for... The smaller items (stuff that will fit in a flat rate shipping box) I'd be willing to send off if they aren't gone by Saturday.
 
Guys, what is the name of the Land Cruiser shop out there???? Wanna say it is in Ouray? Not Proffitts but the other guys.
 
Are you thinking of the big yard in Poncha Springs?

Home

I'm not aware of a shop in Ouray....

Man, I want that motor so I could rebuild it while
leaving the tired 2F in mine to continue getting around
but I see no way of making it happen....

And I have an 87 FJ60 as well.... :(
 
You and me both Trapper! my wife would kill me though if I showed up with an engine project at this point.
 
I wish I had been able to give everyone more lead time on the parts (especially the motor and tranny) but I ended up having to move out of my shop pretty last minute.
 
I figured I got so much valuable info from the awesome folks on here that rather than try and nickel and dime everyone on prices I'd give back in the only way I could. All of this has been sitting around since the spring anyway. Plus I freaking love seeing 60's out on the road still so anything I can do to keep that happening I will!
 
Where are you located?
Address please?
I would like some of them parts
I will send a friend to pick them up for me
 
Message sent.

Thank you sir!!
 
Hey everyone. Got a lot of Pms on the engine and tranny now. Family stuff came up this evening so won't be able to respond to everyone tonight but I will get back to everyone in the morning. Just wanted everyone to know that I got your messages and will get back to you All!
