    Gimme a brake !

    I took my 07 FJC to Toyota for them to diagnose a screech coming from the brake master cylinder area. I feel sorry for the guy who had to call me to say it would be $3100 to replace the entire abs unit. I laughed in his ear. I have found several used ones online for around $300-600. What else do...

    Model Specific Images

    I think it would be handy to have some sort of template to note damage or issues on. Some sort of general outline of a 60 series , driver, passengers, front, back and top views. I figure such a thing already exists ? It could be used for reference or to take notes when looking at multiple...

    Snorkels and all that other stuff

    This is not about to snorkel or not to snorkel. Consider me snorkeled. One point which is often argued is the, you have to do "all the other stuff" not just a snorkel. So what is "all the other stuff"? Assuming the build includes an engine swap anyway, what has to be protected? The ECU for...

    Flex Fuel 62 ?

    I recently watched a Netflix documentary about fuel choice, or more accurately, the lack of choice in the US currently. They stated that the only thing that prevented modern engines from running on fuels other than gasoline was the programming. This would include any level of ethanol/methanol...

    Last one?

    Does anyone have or know of the last fj60 produced? The last fj62 to roll off the line? Is there a way to find out the VIN?

    Wiring tools

    I'm looking for recommendations on something like a basic automotive wiring kit. I have piles of diagonal cutters,various pliers, heat shrink, and connectors scattered around the garage and in the bottom of tool boxes. I have a crimper I could get by with. I could probably use a ratchet style...

    Icon TLC Erod Kit

    The word from icon is the kit to install an Erod In a FJ62 is finished. Everything but the instructions, they are waiting for a good 62 to use for photos and illustrations. The kit includes: LT & RT frame motor mount brackets. ECM bracket. TCM bracket. 4L65E Trans. Crossmember. Fan shroud...

    Mascot?

    Have you ever thought about having a signature emblem? You know ICON has the lizard eating its own tail. For a Vortec swap I see a little troll wearing a bow tie, if you did a diesel he could be smoking a pipe with puffs of black smoke. I'd be proud to have one on my cruiser.

    Extra tools?

    Ok, simple question. If I do the SBC swap, does that mean adding SAE standard tools to my kit? Have later chevy engines gone to metric fasteners? Is this another issue I've dreamed up to worry about? I don't think it's a deal breaker just wondering.

    Shop recommendation needed

    Need pics of rocker panel damage

    Was it on this forum that somebody posted pics of "why you need frame sliders"? I can't find it. The dealer was supposed to throw some into the deal for my wife's new FJ. They are dragging their feet, and the sales manager keeps saying things like "what do you want them for" or "a lot of people...

    Beer Party!!

    I knew that would get some hits. A motorcycle forum I hang out on is broken down into geographical areas. Folks from the same region get together for what are called "tech days". The host provides a garage, beer, food, balloons, strippers, whatever. This give some of us greener wrenches to...

    Fan Clutch Redo?

    I have seen reference to rebuilding the clutch fan here. Both the local dealers and the parts stores claimed to never have heard of such a looney idea. Are the parts/supplies hard to source? How does the cost/benefit ratio compare to a new unit?

    Alternator Bolt

    Can anyone tell me what I need to remove the bottom bolt on my alternator? Looks like some kind of hex-head thing? 1990 FJ62

    Howdy from a Noob(sort of)

    I am a noob to the forum. Not such a noob with my cruiser though. I've had several years of good relations between me and my FJ62. The past couple of years have been a bit rocky. I am kicking myself for not taking advantage of a resource like this before now. I have gotten a ton of great...
