@CruiserTrash thanks and yeah...kinda worried about what else I'm in store for. Def will check that kit out.

Mystery solved for now but new questions arise. Thanks @John McVicker and @diesellibrarian both really helpful as I started to track things down. Found the A pillar grounds and both looked good. So decided to just pop the hood and take another look at following the wiring around. And then I...

New owner to an 86 FJ60. Up to this point no issues with lights in general so looking for a situational analysis from the pro's on here. Drove to son's little league game and was raining so here in MA law states you drive with lights on. Fairly certain they were on to the game but even if not...

@Rsampson1959 Hey do you still have the cassette player? If so and it works gimme a shout. Interested.

@kirvesmies yup. 19 yo. guy wanted 2500 only had 2350. Paid the man and blew smoke the whole way home. Drove it to from Michigan to Nova Scotia a week later with 4 buddies and a yellow canoe strapped on top. Burned oil, police pull over for “wellness check” and gas pedal snapped off at the base...

@kevin in okinawa thx. Yeah pretty clean body and interior but def needs some attention to some mechanicals. Let the journey begin. Best part is my wife is on board ha.

I've been trolling the forums here for years mostly for Sequoia and Tundra tips but I landed my first FJ60 last week. 86' with 154K, 5 speed that made its way to south shore of Boston via Fairbanks then to WA to OR to CA to MA. It's been a 20 yr search more or less since getting the FJ itch. I...
