I’ve seen a few of them around here in Colorado this year. I really love that color! I want to paint my 60 that color.
What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (10 Viewers)

Are you sure it is printed one the top. In your pic its on the bottom right?I got it on Ebay. Including shipping, the cost was WAY high for a hose, but it's the only new replacement I could find, aftermarket or OEM and I didn't want to deal with getting a questionable replacement from down under.
I kinda figured it was made by these guys since these are the only two existences I could find of this part online and both are from Taiwan: Fu Cheng Industrial Co., Ltd.- Automobile Rubber Parts, Rubber Bushing, Engine Mount, Rubber Boot, Air Hose - https://www.tc-rubber.com/proshow_436_air-hose.html
The quality is pretty good. My original was disintegrating so hard to use as a baseline, but this one's rubber seems a lot softer. I wouldn't use it on a high boost turbo, but it will be totally fine on a 2F. Other than that, it fits great. The worst part is that they printed "made in Taiwan" on the top side

Yep - that is correct. The made in Taiwan molding is on the bottom when installed per the pic @LazarusTaxa put up
Timing cover gasket, crank seal, and oil pan gasket. Glad that’s over with and I hope they don’t leak.
I also ordered every coolant hose and clamp still available. My connection said he can get every single hose still. So we’ll see how that goes.

No pics yet (camera on my phone isn't working),took the front brakes apart to replace the locked up calipers on the 60. Took an extra trip to a few parts stores to figure out why the reman front calipers wouldn't fit. One of the they accidentally gave me a mini truck caliper but the other one was remanufactured wrong using half of a mini truck caliper and half a landcruiser caliper. Had to order some brake hoses.
Since the front was already on jack stands I decided to pull out the front suspension to get ready for the new Ironman suspension. For having 250k miles, I had the front springs out in less than 2 hours with no power tools in the driveway. Hope everything else goes smoothly.

Having the suspension apart that fast is pretty impressive, assuming it's never been apart. Usually it's a battle.
Nice work!
Nice work!
I battled the suspension my old 84. The 86 I have now in pretty rust free and mechanically stock, too bad it's got some crappy paint on it.
It is 2021...
"Borrowed" my wifes phone to take some pics of what I did yesterday.
New rear bumper and hardware for the princess. Cannot stress how important it is to use the clamp on the carriage bolts to both remove but also install.

Where did you source the bumper?
It’s on my to do list!
Update: still leaks oil. Turns out it’s the timing plate, so the cam will have to come out. Great. 
Re-de-smogged FJ60 #2.
Was nice to have #1 parked adjacent to essentially copy the other setup.
First start and maiden voyage and she runs great!
Here are a few pics of the HAC and VSV valves.

Once you have the front stripped down and ready to pull the cam you'll have to loosen the motor mounts and jack up the engine or the cam gear will hit the lower valance (I think this is what it will hit).
Didn't have much time today but I did get the new front springs bolted in.
Yep, I’ve been doing some research on it. It isn’t going to be fun, that’s for sure.

I rebuilt the carburetor. The jets were clogged, the secondary vacuum actuator had holes in it and it was disgusting. Replaced some vacuum lines.

What were your symptoms? I’m having idling issues, wondering if it’s the carb or a vacuum leak
