What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (11 Viewers)

Also, the 33's reduce torque so much that it is nearly impossible to spin the tires, letting us drive around all the big Dodges, Ford's, etc. .

Just try to get around my '01 Silverado 2500HD regular cab long bed with the 8.1L V8 and ZF-6 manual 6-speed .

No benefit of 33's on the street except the rubber overdrive. Anyhow, 31's work great most of the time but so does a Celica.

Not power or spinning tires related.

I was asking about the 'upgraded' 80 series steering box on a 60 series. What parts are needed for adaptation? Will work on all 60/62? Bolt right up? What is the benefit over a factory box?

The early 60's have a different bolt pattern. The early one is rectangular and the latter is a parallelogram. The 80 series box shares the same parallelogram bolt pattern. The pitman arm from the 60 will fit the splines on the 80 series sector shaft. The 80 series box has problems with the OEM sector shaft twisting with larger tires. The common fix and upgrade is to use a 105 series sector shaft when rebuilding it. From what I understand, the 60 series and 80 series pitman arm will not fit the 105 series sector shaft so a new pitman arm must be installed with this setup. I am unsure if the 105 pitman arm will connect to the 60 steering linkage in the correct geometry. It might, but it wouldn't surprise me if it does not work.

So to answer the question... so long as you have a later model 60 all you need is a good 80 series box and to swap the pitman arm from the 60 series box the the 80. If the 80 series box was upgraded with the 105 sector shaft you need a new pitman arm. Not 100% sure what pitman arm works. If you're not running tires bigger than 33" you probably won't have problems with the OEM 80 series sector shaft. If you're getting into bigger tires and you're doing bigger obstacles you will have other things to contend with. I'm pretty sure you need an 80 series box from a 91 thru 97.

so....a stock 80 box is not an upgrade (in any way?) to a stock late 60/62 box?

My 62 box is leaking profusely, I don't need a 'stronger' one, and am looking the best way to change it out with a fresh one, not rebuildinig it at my house.

I think there was a change to the worm gear and it's tighter than the 60 series boxes, but I'm not certain about it. I've rebuilt the fj60 box but I've never been inside of an 80 series box. There may be a debate about whether it is in fact an upgrade or if it just feels like it because it's a newer unit that the old one and therefore not as worn out.

If I wasn't able to rebuild my box I would have bought a remanufactured unit from rockauto and kept the old one to have rebuilt when I had the chance.

Radiator repair today. I don't know how old my radiator is and was planning on refreshing the cooling system before the heat of summer arrives. After today that's going to happen much sooner. Noticed a drip under the 60 and checked the petcock in the CSF radiator. When I checked it's tightness it broke. Discovered the bolt size and thread pitch is M12x1.25. A shock bolt will fit but is too long. A really short bolt is needed. Dorman has the correct repair item, found it at O'Reilly.

In trying a couple of quick fixes I slightly mangled the threads in the bung and the Dorman plug would not thread in straight. I doubled up the rubber washer by using the old + new then slathered the repair with JB Weld putty. Goal is simply stop the leakage until I can replace the radiator.

Weekend to come......Got pulley pulled using the zip tie and crank method to loosen the bolt. Worked like magic.
I think it is about time to reseal this cover.

 

[ToyotaMatt]

Is that real? If so I'm going to need one, and any exterior badging that might exist!

3F-TE would be the more accurate Toyota-ese. Turbo comes before the MPFI in the engine code

@Heckraiser is spot on

Nice! Fix that rust! Mine looked like that a few years ago and are 100% covered in rust now. I wish I had taken care of them when I had the chance.

Already ahead of ya, inside of both have been sprayed with Rust Converter. I’ll clean up the outside by hand. I am on the fence about repainting them, I might just apply a light coat of Fluid Film to them.

Then they will be "dust caps" it does prevent rust, but in the ugliest way.

I don’t know if I’ll use Fluid Film on them. They’re soaking in vinegar right now, I’ll decide if I should paint them or not after I knock the rust off.
