Oof you are giving me flashbacks of having to lay on my back on the drivers floorboard and then contorting myself to reach up into the dash to find that stupid little button to push while still being able to pull the knob. Sometimes they were...

Don’t be so sure.

A few house projects in the rearview and bow elk season almost done; finally getting time to get back on this. Crazy, I thought I’d be driving it by April! Long block is all assembled and painted. Running by October(?) is the plan…. Currently…...

I went to that rabbit hole of a thread and found it. I think this is what I will end up doing. The end product just looks so darn good on your 40 !! Thank you @EWheeler and @Chungas Revenge for the original idea!

You can get similar alloy wheels in 17" size. Fifteen52 analog HD and Nomad 504 Field. You can put OEM or OEM style hubcaps on both, Nomad offers the hubcaps separately from the wheels and the wheel has accommodations for installation. The...

FJ Co still has an active website/ store with the wheels and IG account….

Changed the design to use a part that's in-stock so board assembly doesn't have to wait until Oct 10, re-submitted my PCB order with the manufacturer now. Will update on board arrival ETA in the next few days & will take orders once I have...

Giving the primer one more day to cure before color coat. Almost there! Scored this little gem a couple months ago. Been looking for a long time but could never stomach the asking prices. This one popped up for a much friendlier price so I went...

Don’t worry, We always do a search before we do custom products. It’s a waste of our time to duplicate reproduction efforts. ;)

FWIW, Redline has remade/carries the oil fill cap gasket.

Also of note, since my distributor cleanup, I’ve been averaging almost 14.5 mpg vs the 11.5 mpg from before. Seems to have better power, not downshifting on hills that I used to and can hold 5th gear at 70 on some longer hills now. Still need to...

Oil and filter change, new fuel filter, chassis lube and tire rotation day. Wife’s Highlander even got its service. Cut my fuel and oil filters open and much cleaner fuel filter since sealing the tank. Oil filter has no worrying metals so that’s...

You can use a bunch of tire plugs to repair a sidewall enough to get you off the trail. Alternatively, you could get a sidewall patch kit such as Glue Thread. They are not cheap but appear to get good reviews and if it gets you off the trail...

Hi, I posted in the "what did you do this weekend" thread that I upgraded my '84 FJ60 headlights to Holley Retrobrights. Several folks wanted a report about their performance. Instead of gumming up that thread I thought I would report here. I...

I wrote a report in this thread: Holley RetroBright LED Headlights for your FJ60 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/holley-retrobright-led-headlights-for-your-fj60.1339800/post-16079486

Added a longer rear brake line from body to axle.

Definitely report back with your impressions at night! They do seem like a great option for LED and not modern looking.

I installed a pair of Holley Retrobrights Sunday morning. Nice improvement compared to the stock lights when shining against the garage wall. I assume it will be the same driving at night.

I was putting it in the back, then I realized my rack does in fact work with the spare tire carrier, as long as it’s only one bike.

Got the bottom painted today. Did heavy body seam sealer on the welds then top coated in 2k black that was nearing expiration so it was good I finally used it. Top next!

CruiserMatt found a suitable replacement for the FJ62 Fuel Pump Tube SUB-ASSY 23091-61010 The replacement part # FUEL TUBE SUB-ASSY, 23091-75020

Finally got this stereo installed! I was sitting on this project for too long. I had to take the dash out like 8 times to get it centered in the opening just right. What a pain! But its nice to have tunes again. Speaking of tunes I had an issue...

Had some troubles on the Kazakhstan steppe...! 😒 Thankly these legends at Junk Garage Almaty did a job on it and we could continue our journey east ! Also met a Kazakh 62...one of only five 60s in the whole country !

It’s a slow going project but I am getting there. One corner per day. For me, it’s hard to get into the positions under the truck and then discover my 17mm socket is over there and out of reach. That’s All on me, the job is quite easy to do and...

Excellent, nice work! I was thinking of a strategy for heat shielding. My plan right now is to make floor mats using the pyramid rubber and having a layer of insulation under it. I am still worried about moisture between the floor mats and the...
