What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (18 Viewers)

[Kleatus]

Finished up the roof rack I started the other week. Cut out the mesh and and welded it in flush with the buttom, and added some tabs for lights in the sides. The local powder coated wanted $450, so it got rattle canned. Would be a waste to have it much nicer than the truck anyway . It ended up being 46.6 pounds before paint.

It’s quite sturdy. I can walk all over it easily.

A few other 60’s showed up yesterday for some misc work, ’s and sausage grillling in the rain.

Taking the dogs for a hike noticed it wasn't charging.
Had the alternator rebuilt locally.

Where did you have it rebuilt? I was thinking of having my FJ62 non-working alternator rebuilt to put on the shelf as a spare for the 3FE in my '86 FJ60.

Ditto! I have a rebuildable unit “in stock”!

Visited a couple FJ60s at a repair shop today. Blue 60 is donating transmission to brown one. I needed hood springs because mine were horribly bent up when I foolishly drove with hood unlatched and it popped up in my face. Guy gave them to me-what a deal

Prepd' and hung a few things....

Got a few things done on the 60. Put in a few LED upgrades on the front end lights. Dramatic improvement to nighttime driving.

Got my new to me old dash cubby installed.

Out and about in between rain storms.

Ain’t no party like a 60 party!!!

Installed a new catalytic converter had it re-smogged and passed with flying colors!
“Dusty” is now a returning CA resident.

That’s a unique approach to changing oil .

Give us the details on that wheel. Like it much better than a 62 wheel for sure.

Starters and Alternators of N.M.
They're an old school rebuild place. Did a generator for me about 10 years ago and it still works.

Oem power steering pump replacement. Once everything is out of the way...it's not too bad. Saginaw was not my choice. Here's some before and after. I'm taking to the shop for de smog. I would have drove it there but it leaked power steering fluid like a coffee maker. Made a mess in my driveway.

Picked up a "new" 2F for our '84. Smog gear included fortunately.

DUI distributor + smog equipment?

DUI distributor + smog equipment?

Well, there's that. The engine that it's replacing is complete except for the hole in the block and pan where a rod tried escaping the whole Toyota party.

Call it a 4 day weekend. Changed front gears to 4.11's. Added SumoSprings for bumpstops up front. Oh yeah, new bearings up front. The one side looked like it had burned the inner race, I didn't like the look of it. Cheap insurance. New
OME CS005RA rears and CS005F's up front. New shocks. Added Boss Airbags the 09T triple bag to help with
future loads. Should get the rear gears done this week. I was so happy I didn't have to rework the exhaust. I have
just finished redoing it muffler back and had hoped it was good for future airbags.
