    1986 FJ 60 for sale

    Had the 60 out and about this weekend, man I still love that thing. Even a fellow portal member I had met before stopped by, Cool! If anybody who lives local to me wants to check it out, that is fun for me. The more people that see it the better. The cruiser will sell itself that way, and I...

    1986 FJ 60 for sale

    Brakes are good, frame pics coming, no rust repairs but the original owner or so must have have a minor repair done that is a rear quarter panel repair. Only noticeable if looked for pretty hard. It has all emmission compliance components, but I have never needed a test on it where I live...

    1986 FJ 60 for sale

    The engine has about 90k on it, the factory 4spd has around 250k on it (but I have a replacement if ever needed with 100k) the trans is solid and has given me no reason to mess with it. The gears are 4.56:1, the knuckles were gone through about 110k ago, and only show a slight sign of grease...

    Leaf springs

    I think leaf springs lose their "spring" over time but an engineer told me once that spring steel never loses its spring. Who thinks that they just "settle" in and thats it? My OME leaves have 100K on them and dont seem the same, but if I'm wrong its buku mula.

    Trailer Tech Questions

    Exp. trailers My trailer is basically custom built for these type applications. It's definately true that the O.E. springs on the military trailers are way too stiff. I bought some used springs fropm the rear of a jeep cherokee and added add-a-leaves (rancho $60) and it rides like a dream w/...

    new guy loves the 60 series

    silver fj60 My cruiser sits on 315/75 16 BFG mud terrains. I originally ran 15 in wheels but found the sidewalls on 16 in tires actually work better at lower air pressures in expeditionary applications. The roof rack is a combination of things both bought and fabricated. The rack is a pretty...

    I-6 or V8?

    V8 or I6? I drive a 60 w/ a chev v8 conversion. Very expensive conversion in order to ensure reliability. If a person wants reliability, stay factory parts and toyota does the best job w/ long term reliability. An 80 series sound best. I know of an earlier model w/ 120k for $9000. Sounds...

    new guy loves the 60 series

    Ultimate cruiser??? I think the engine from an 80 series (supercharged or turbo?), axles and suspension from an 80 under a 60 or 62 (creature comforts) would give better utility and ride w/ power to spare. Not a rock crawler exactly but can keep up with a lot of top notch trail rigs; and still...

    White Rim Trail beta needed...(11/23 & 11/24 2007)

    I've driven that trail in conjunction w/ cruise moab. We camped at airport and finished out the next day passing by white crack campground (which is about halfway). White crack has awesome views, but in the wind would be horrible. Airport is less "out on a point" if you will, so wind is...
