Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks guys! Good info, good pic, bigbrowndog..............

I think the guy said that it came off a 1HZ motor, so I'm guessing, no!

Can anyone tell me if I can bolt a 75 series gearbox and transfer case into my 60 series?
They look the same

I cant believe people run 31s on a 60 series......
I tried a set a coupla weeks ago, forget about using first gear at all......
I was in 3rd gear before I got out of the driveway

Dont go below 32" diameter!
The only time my 60 series is happy on the highway is with the 33s....
Even the original splittys are too small for the standard gear ratio, and they are listed as 32"
I'm about to put some 255/85/16s on some 7" rims, which are slightly over 33"...... Wont be cheap!
I ...

I've done a search for "interchangeability" :roll: of rims for the old 60 series, not much info that I can make sense of!!!!
Just want to get some sunraiser or similar steel rims for the old girl!!!!
Don't want wide ones, already got a set of 12.5"X33" muddies...
So what standard rims off other ...

Good info chaps!

Thanks dumbdunce.... So any 60 series 5 speed should bolt in?
Will there be issues with driveshaft, or anything like that?

So I've got a 62 series, which is stamped 11/85 and its stamped "H55F I think"gearbox,,,,,....
I'm about to look at a spare gearbox, which is pretty close to my place... How can I tell if ist's the same as mine without removing my box, what external things can I compare it to?
Is this plug on the ...

Now that's interesting!!!!
What mods did you have to do, to make it work???

thanks guys!!!!!!!!!

what system are you looking at?
pertronix are available for the cruiser
and i ran a crane cams on in my lux and ended up pulling it out and putting a standard electronic dissy in from a later 4y motor

Gday mad, got no idea what system, I've seen a few advertised on flea bay etc. and thought I'd ...

Looking to convert my 3f donk over to electronic ignition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So who knows all about this set up?????
Will be doing the same on my brothers 1987 Hilux.........

So What else ya got left Wozza???

RESOLVED

Ended up being the rear drivers side spring hanger!
I was going thru everything that had nuts and bolts, all seemed good!
Then I noticed that this rear spring hanger had two nuts on the bottom bolt, took it apart, and found the bolt was stripped of thread under the first nut, so they had a ...

Thanks people!!!!
I am a DUMBARSE It's a 1985 landcruiser 62 series!

The U bolts seem tight, haven't looked at the shocks, didn't notice if it has a swaybar, not welded diff...........

I'll have another go at in the morning, will let you guys know if I find the culprit....................

Trying to work out what the hell is causing an annoying "THUMP" coming from the rear of the car!!!!!???? :x
Every time I turn a slight corner, bloody THUMP.... Turn left, THUMP, Turn right, THUMP. Sounds like its coming from the diff housing area!
Ive had a good look, can't find any evidence of ...

Crikey! What a READ

the hardest part of replacing a diff on a landcruiser is probably removing the cone washers that hold the axle in.
the only other tricky bis is that it is heavy and it s a good idea to have some help to maneuver the diff out and in.

Tap the studs with a medium ball pein and punch, they will pop ...

Wozza

PM sent Wozza244!!!!!!

Whew, thanks dumbdunce!
So it's not just a bearing noise then?
Looks like I'll have to post in the wanted section!
Will there be any things to watch out for when bolting up another diff centre?

I want to fix the hum in the bum :roll:
Leaking oil at input shaft seal, so I'm assuming this is where the noise is coming from...
Coupla Questions.............

Can you buy a bearing and seal kit for this job?
Do you have to take the diff centre out to be able to get the correct torque on assembly ...

Well bugger me, Just got a set of 5 wheels and tyres, split rims!!!!
Cost me a carton of beer!
Don't know if they fit yet, but they ARE off a cruiser!
I'll try em tomorrow!
Thanks fellas!!!!!

Looking for a set of standard wheels for my 85 model FJ62!
So the question is, what Year model Landcruisers have interchangeable wheels?
Any one got a spare set they want to get rid of?

Ok, I've had a bit of a look, but what is a good repair manual for the 60 series cruiser???
The immediate work will be to the drive train!!!

Great work,

Good starting point.

Whats the plans for the old girl.

The 60 bug has bitten, no turning back now :D

Well the first thing is to fix the hum in the bum. The rear diff is leaking, so I spose that's where the noise is coming from!
Basically, work my way through the drive line, wheel ...

Well, I've gone and went and done it now :lol:
Just picked up an old FJ60 :cool:
Very clean and tidy unit, drives lovely, I can see why people love these things.
Its got a 3F petrol motor, whatever that means!!!! 33x12.5" BFG mud terrains, spotties, CB radio! Anyone use these things these days ...
