I’ve got a Chevy 350 Holley Sniper EFI setup in my 64 FJ40. The entire setup was done by a previous owner, and it was poorly done.
Fuel gauge never worked, and I’m not sure about the sending unit used.

Looks like I need a an adapter with a female end...

So I’ve posted before and gotten tons of help from everyone, but this one has me stumped.
I’ve got an LM7 Chevy 5.3 from an 01 Suburban. I swapped the H3 oil pan and just realized I never removed a dipstick, and sure enough the old pan has an oil level sensor.
Issue is, my cast iron block...

So far, the build plan will be:

Toyota split case with 4:1 gears
I bought the wrong clutch bucket (I have the early version, so the firewall and master cylinder...
I was unable to find 60 series specific anything in a search, so here goes nothing.
I was hoping someone could help me figure out if there is a logical way to affix 4/5 point safety harnesses for a factory rear seat in my FJ62.
My model was manufactured in 9/‘87 (1988 model) so I don’t have...
Hey all, I’m shipping my steering box out to West Texas Offroad for a rebuild and hydro assist setup.

Front Sway Bar and frame brackets (no axle mounts)...
I’ve got an FJ62 and the rear heater doesn’t really work. I’ve got a Tuffy Center console I am going to install and want to delete the rear heater.
I’m looking for any rubber hose part number that is formed and won’t kink in order to reroute coolant from the inlet/outlet hard lines.
I know...
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knew approximate dimensions of the door opening of pickups, 4R or Tacoma’s that have a steady aftermarket following.
I was going to build some tube doors for my FJ62, but wont have ready access to a bender for a while. I wasn’t sure if a certain model of...
I know this is essentially sacrilegious, but has anyone ever checked out armor/bumper products for other similar square bodied rigs like the XJ and tried to modify it for their 60 series? I was looking for bumper design ideas, and came across this kit
I stumbled across jcroffroad.com and their...
Good evening everyone, after searching, I couldn’t find exactly what I’m looking for.
I want to build a front winch bumper for my FJ62, that has a good approach angle and strength that will be used primarily in snow and rock.
