I wish I had more money but then who doesn't

I am still crunching numbers on fill up but seeing consistency. 1989 Toyota HJ61 land cruiser. Think my speedometer is accurate. I have been matching the kph to my gps in mph. So my odometer is probably correct. The results are around 30km/gal approx. 19m/gal. I am thinking not bad.

Nice see another Landcruiser focused shop. When I win the lottery I will call. Good luck finding more help. It seems to be a booming business.

@1derer you have some cool vehicles. I saw the 45 you had forsale

They are from autozone. C8555 and C8554

I have often wondered about balance beads as well. If you try them please leave feedback.

I ended up calling Valley Hybrids in Stockton CA. They are sending me new rotors from Terrain Tamer and pads from them. They also gave me part numbers for the calipers they use. So I think I found my upgraded brakes. Thanks to all for helping.

Yeah I only have about 12 inches clearance as it is but it one can dream.

Wow!!! Ok totally impressed. I am an idiot (mechanically). I am even more impressed that you have a lift at home!!!! I must be doing something wrong? Buy more lottery tickets ( high risk retirement plans).

Nice vehicle. You need to bring that gold dredge out west. I hear the spillway that broke out here this winter let loose and eroded a lot of gold.

Thanks, I have been just recently looking into a company called Red Line Land Cruisers. They have kits for the 60 series. Just depends on what I want to spend.

@20DYNAMITE07 you stole my thunder!!! I was going to recommend everyone watch that one as well. Good on ya.

Thanks again for the info. I will probably do something similar although I will have find something for an FJ, which should work.

Thanks. What did you go for (if you can remember) Were the rotors made for an 80 series?

Question: should I try upgrading the front brakes or just replace needed parts like pads etc? From the little research I have done most parts are interchangeable with and FJ version. So the parts are available. Side note, I will be increasing the weight in the coming months and years with...

Had to replace the radiator it was failing, did the thermostat as well. Man this vehicle stuff is pricey, haha

I am happy working on mine but boy do I want a tent set up something like that.

@boss324 sounds like MarkD got tickets. Like I said I won't know until mid to late Sept. so perhaps we could work out a system if I can't go. Hate to see them go to waste.

@Mark D I purchased mine on the assumption I won't have to work. For me sadly, I don't get my next months schedule until the 24th of the previous month. If it turns out I have to work mine would be up for grabs (I would give you first chance). I feel bad that you did show interest and made...

Yes I bet, not a fine feeling. Cougars can be quite bold some times. Makes me think of a video I saw where a guy walked up on a Moose and was face to face. Luckily he was armed but even discharging it once didn't scare the Moose. Luckily it turned out ok in the end but I am sure his heart...
