On the way there
That photo is a blast from the past. But for sure, it isn't an H55! I believe that is my H41/Marlin box with Georg's twin shift kit! Installed 7 or 8 years ago and still in use now.
What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (34 Viewers)

Out with the old blower that I broke while trying to clean, in with the new from rockauto! Plugged up and works perfectly!
The entire blower wheel was covered in dirt and black carbon, but it's 32yrs old so it took some good scrubbing and degreaser to get it looking like new as well.
I have a/c again

New rear brakes after mine took a dump
Overland Expo 2017 in Flagstaff yesterday. Since I didn't trust my cruiser to make the 135mi drive with a leaking radiator, I took my GX470 up. Had a really good time, took Schnebly Hill from Flagstaff to Sendona on the way back and had an awesome day.
Took the dogs for a hike. Half way down the return trail I meet a guy that says "that must be your 60" How did he know? I wasn't wearing any geeky Toyota garb and there were other cars in the lot.
Took the FJ60 to the Point Barr area on the Arkansas river. This is below Salida CO and reached by crossing the Wellsville bridge. Participated in a placer gold training session sponsored by the Gold Prospectors of Colorado club.
Got to dig a hole, run the material thru a high bank sluice, then ran the concentrates thru a power driven spiral panner and sure enough - there were quite a few extremely small flakes of gold. This from several 5 gallon buckets of gravel.
After that we did a recon of FR5965 which starts near the Wellsville bridge. Interesting road. We will go back and check it out further.

Did you have oil on your hands or a tool bag?

Didnt really do much this weekend. Took the vacuum and cleaned out the last few weeks of gravel and dirt from the dog park, tightened down the steering wheel column bolts that make it wobble some (need to pull one to go grab a replacement), and pulled the new spare drivers door out to see what all needs to be taken care of. After that I ran around town to see if anyone had gasket paper for the gasket between the bottom of the carb and the plenum/insulator plate, negative on all accounts. Will be ordering a few from Kurt so I can finally swap the damn carb and see if it fixes my high idle issue.
Saw this on CL over the weekend: 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser 4WD Manual Lifted AUTOSOURCE Who knew camo seat covers could get $40K!!

Dare me.
Carb is pulled aaaagain. Sending the base off to OR tomorrow for new throttle shaft bushings and a resurfacing. Fingers crossed.
It has that custom half front diff...that probably adds a lot of value

Not the painted black gas cap door? Or the Dash cover over a probably cracked dash? Or the shifter knob that looks like a teenage boy was left alone with it for way too long?......

Dam Felicity...nothing scares you
Maybe one day I'll get the nerve to tear one apart. Good luck to you as I know you've been chasing this gremlin.

Thanks Jim. Cool guy out there. We spoke for awhile and he helped point me to a few items to check and he's gonna take extra care and check out my IM screw which my gut is saying is off in some way.Dam Felicity...nothing scares you

With all you've done a carb would be no sweat.

Well I always have dirty hands because if I'm not working on the 60 it's something else.

Diagnosed the parasitic draw that was killing my battery!

Dare me.
Jim could do it and he'd put it back together by the book, not like me who wings it. But you know, doing things 'wrong' only means more practice to get it 'right.'Tearing stuff apart is the easy part.....
And? You're gonna leave us hanging?
That's often a tough job.
