FJ Cruisers of Northern California
Well one of the issues with the 60 has been that the rear of the truck feels like it has dead shocks.
So I climbed under the 60 yesterday to look for any leaks or other items that might need immediate repair and as I looked back toward the rear shocks I saw some air-lines coming out of them, so I traced them and found the schrader valve which was well hidden and when I pressed on it nadda, nothing, no air.
