Newbie with FJ62 questions (before purchase)

[Cruiser7081]

Looking for a FJ62. How are the motors? What's the average life?

Anything else I should be worried about?

Axles are like dana 60's I am told?

Transfer case on these are good?

Rear axle is 4:11?

Thanks

Already tried http://forum.ih8mud.com/ ?

This is an European forum, not much FJ's over here. Diesels are more common in Europe.
Ihmud is an Americaan forum, lots of info about FJ's there.

Good luck, Rob

The engines can go for 300000+ miles with good servicing.
I was told the axles are more like Dana 40s
These had the best of the t/cases,they slowly evolved over 20 years adding a larger idler(oct/86) and more webbing to the casing for strength.
This model also had the lower low range like the aussie models.

Yes 4.11 for the auto.

Rust breaks out everywhere on these,so go over it carefully,especially if its been painted

There is a very active 60 series forum on MUD
