Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Looking at doing a conversion for my tired old 3F

What's the general concensus on the following, eg. what fits, what will i need for the conversion, what other parts on the car will need to change ie brakes etc....

Chevy 350 - Chevy 454 (would love to think it could fit)

LS1 - LS2

Cheers

Can any of you guys tell me what I need to do to be able to replace a snapped wheel stud on the front end of my 60?

Do i have to take the whole hub off?

Cheers

Not sure if they have stuff for the 80 series

but I sourced all the rubbers for my 60 series from them

I have an '87 FJ62 3F - Over 300,000kms - never rebuilt so probably pretty tired
I get around 300kms from 65l Gas
Around 400kms from 75l Fuel
my car sucks through the petrol
pretty much stock - 32's, no spare wheel, no barwork, just storage drawers in the back

Same thing happened to me about a year ago....

Obrien's wanted like $180 for a 60's front quarter window

Made my own out of Clear Lexen..... now I'll just laugh at the next person who attempts to break that one...

Lexen cost me about $35.00

thanks coxy

will check all the hoses.... I hope it's somthing as simple as that

Yeah I have stuggled to have it tuned also. Issue is that it used to start on gas fine - struggle to start on petrol, now it is exactly the opposite and now I can;t convert to gas at all. As far as I am aware it is runing points no electronic ignition..... But that should not affect the conversion ...

I have a dual fuel 62 series landcuiser, up until this week I have had no major problems with the car. Last week I had the starter motor replaced, since then I have had trouble with converting from petrol to gas... eg... warm engine, 1500rpm... car just dies - like no gas is getting through. Have ...

if MT's are a fake bead lock, and WE's are a one piece rim, can you tell the difference just by looking at the...

Will the average Joe Blo copper know the difference either way?

Fake bead lock or real.... how do they determine the difference?

So MT Classick Lock's are street legal, but looks as though EW's are not.

Cheers

Cant seem to get a straight answer from any of my local shops,
Seeing how these rims have a bead lock,
Are they street legal?? Or purely for off road use?
They look the goods..... anything else in the price range better?

Looking for some help with regards to a new or higher ampage alternator for my 62 series, what's out there? Running 2 sets of spotties, 1 set of fog's, stereo (2x amps), alarm and immobilser, and later fitting a fridge. At the moment, I think the stock one is struggling with the demand, but not sure ...

Recently did this to my 60, 3" suspension lift, with 2" ext shackles. I also found that it had brought my rear diff forward.... about 1-2" Only running 275/70/16's - no vibration at high speed. Had to get a custom rear tailshaft made as trial fitted 3 (original + 2 spares) and they were all too long ...

Can anyone tell me whether I can fit a 275/70/16 on a 16x7JJ Rim?

If not, what is the largest size?

Cheers

still unable to get the filler plug out, on the wrong side just to be able to change diff centre, what are my chances of drilling a new hole into the case????

Or how else can I get the filler plug out?

How hard is it to remove and refit the front diff in a 60 series?

Do I just need to replace the open centre? What changes need to be made whe going from stock to an lsd?

Previous owner has done filler plug up so tight.... nearly broke myself trying to get it open??

Any other ideas most welcome

How do i know if I have a vacuum operated (push button) gearbox or not?

Lost use of 1st and 2nd gear, kinda kangaroo hops if in gear.

think I need a new gearbox, unless others have ideas.

I have a 1987 (Jan) fj62 Landcruiser 5speed Petrol Model.

its a 5 speed. 1987 FJ62

I have tried with a FJ55 Tailshaft the one I was given from a FJ55 was in fact longer than the FJ60

I am trying to find castor wedges to fit a 60 series cruiser with 4" suspension lift. The lift has made it so my rear tailshaft is too long.

Can anyone let me know where I can get them.

thanks bunyip,

If I go the way of getting the tailshaft from the 55 series will I still need to by the wedges?

the problem now is that the tailshaft is too long due to the change in angle of the diff, so instead of chewing uni joints every 500kms, I wanna fix it properly.

Can anyone help me out with info?

I have just lifted my 60 series cruiser with 100mm suspension lift, my rear tailshaft no longer fits, I have been told that I need to get wedges for the rear diff or something?

Can anyone tell me where I can buy these?

Cheers

Just picked this up, looks like it i could be a good setup.

comes with 3m worth of cables, lugs, terminals, etc

has inputs for solar panels in the future.

not reallyh short on DIY confidence skills, just a litlle unsure of exactly what I need to buy.

Can someone tell me what I need?

Have the option of a store special kit for $630, installed including Century Deep Cycle Battery. Or TJM IBS system, for $824, without installation or battery. Is it worth the extra money to go to the TJM system or will the store special be sufficient? Will be running, UHF, CB, Winch, Lights ...

I am looking at these for purely off-road use, so I want a tyre that performs well in nearly any situation, they will be removed from the car when not in use off road, so road wear is not an issue really, off road performance is the key.

Just want some input as to the perfomance of each type of the Simex tyres

1. Jungle Trekker

2. Extreme Trekker

Both look like nice and aggressive tyres, around the same price, so really just lookinf for feed back before I make my final choice

Cheers

I wanna fit bucket seats in my 62 series, can I just bolt the old rails on to the bottom of the new seats or will i have to modify them to suit? can I just buy new ones?
