    What are stock FJ60's going for now?

    Nice Score. Yes, this is how I bought my FJ62 around 10 years ago. 65K original miles, garaged in Vegas at a second house, zero rust, all original., the owner was 85 and could not drive anymore, so, he was selling. The Ad came out online at night with pictures, I saw it within 2 hours...

    Low oil pressure after oil change?

    I switched to Mobil 1 15-50w (has the most zinc) about 9 years ago. My oil pressure did not change. My oil pan already leaked from the crushing of the cork gasket. I think it leaked a little more after the switch to synthetic. I am just now finally getting around to changing the oil pan...

    Fj62 speed on hills?

    The FJ62 has good torque, but, not much HP. The speed up hills is directly related to the tire size. To keep any pep at all do not go bigger than 31 inch x 15 tires. When mine had the original 28" size tires on the original rims it was noticeably faster up hills. I run 31 inch...

    Engine Overheating Issues

    Here is a comparison of my 3FE original stock '88 FJ62 Fan Clutch (red hub) to the 3FE FJ80 Aisin FCT-049 (green hub). I believe the original red hub piece is similar to a Aisin FCT-017, but, mine is the original stock Toyota fan clutch that was shipped with my truck. The FCT-049 is much...

    Engine Overheating Issues

    I bet it is the belt tension. This has happened to me before also. These V-belts stretch, serpentine belts not so much. A few months down the road after a belt change, you have to tighten them again. On the bottom of the alternator, there is a lock bolt (12mm), loosen that, then, there...

    Engine Overheating Issues

    Also, check your belt tension on the new clutch fan you already put in. If the belt is too loose, it will cause the same symptoms as a bad fan clutch. To easily check this, put a wrench on the clutch fan bolt and try to loosen it or tighten it. If the whole pulley moves with not much...

    Engine Overheating Issues

    Try this to validate whether your fan clutch is working properly. Go out on a hot day and put around at low rpm. Watch your temp gauge. It is probably at the first hash. Then, do the same trip in a much higher gear, reving out, but, going slow. If the temp goes up another hash mark or...

    Engine Overheating Issues

    Sorry for the 1 month later reply, but, I would bet that the new fan clutch is not working correctly. Is it roaring at startup like it should ? Try a Aisin FCT-049, it is the best ones for our 60s. Note: I had the coolest running Landcruiser around. I remember my clutch fan roaring at...

    '88 FJ-62 Threw a Rod, Rebuild 3FE or 2FE?

    One question - if you can build a 2FE to have more hp and torque, why not build a 3FE to also have more power. What is the issue ? Also, note, in some states, like California, a post 1975 car requires permission to swap in a different model motor for registration. In general, this...

    Another FJ62 Transmission Question

    I use Castrol Transynd with an extra tranny cooler and a Rodney flush in mine. I have been using it the last 10 years and my tranny is the same as it was 10 years ago - shifts perfect. I just did another Rodney flush before leaving for vacation to Lake Tahoe and the old Transynd smelled...

    Coolant circulation

    Also, put in a Aisin FCT-049 fan clutch. This is the best one for our LCs. This will keep it cool by locking up the fan at the right time.

    Transmission/Tcase equalizing hose

    Hello, will this hose help an 1988 LC with the automatic transmission ? Does the fluid flow the opposite way on an automatic ? ie. should I check that the tranny fluid is not in the transfer case ? If the seal is bad, then, on an automatic, the transfer case will be overfilled with...

    Official "How long does an A440 last" thread

    '89 FJ62 Transmission issue - fluid after rodney flush

    Automatic transmission fluid and transfer case fluid in a FJ62 should not smell bad like gear oil does.

    Aluminum Bumper build ?

    Hello, I am also interested in Aluminum bumpers. Can you estimate the weight savings difference between aluminum and steel please ? I live in a mountainous area, and weight has kept me from armoring my truck. Thanks !

    FJ60 didn’t pass emissions

    This procedure will help it pass: 1. Go to Pep boys and buy a bottle of "guaranteed to pass" and put it in at 1/2 tank 2. Get in the car and drive it for a full 1/4 of a tank. Get it hot. Then go straight to the smog station. 3. Keep the LC running when you go to the smog station. Keep...

    Moving to Cali - emissions testing

    I have an '88 FJ62 and I live in Los Angeles. I just did my smog test this month and they still did the dyno test. They hook up the sniffer to the tailpipe and run the car on the dyno, ie. acceleration in 4th gear. Mine runs great, so, it passed easily, but, if you are worried, here is...
