I purchased my wonderful brother-in-law’s 1985 FJ60 about 8 months ago. It’s well preserved and almost all original, but like most, it has a list of things that need to be done to preserve it and keep it going for many years to come. Met up...

https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1964-fj45-short-bed-fixed-top-pickup-restoration.1193777/ Last I heard the FJco bellhousing was NLA I'd rather have a H150/151/152 all day every day over a H55. Shifts so much better. I absolutely love my...

took my daughter to make the pilgrimage to visit the greatest machine ever created by man. I swear i built this thing for wheeling, but its become the official family vehicle

Out enjoying a nice evening in Montana w/ the FJ60

Beautiful night at 12,000' outside Silverton CO.

Held vacuum overnight - ran for another hour or so to get out more moisture, then put two 12oz cans of R134a in this morning. AC is blowing cold, can't get vent temps because "we" broke the other thermometer, but if I had to guess it's in the 40s...

Coming up on around 23 years of ownership, and the last half dozen were more about neglect than care..... But thats changing! At this point I can't remember why I stopped driving it. I thought it was starting to run warm on hot days, but the last...

After way too long of a hiatus, it's time to start thing about what needs to happen here. Its been sitting years now. Going to need brakes and figure why it had been running warm, and slightly mixing it's oil and water. The entire cooling system...

Have you tried bread? Search it on YouTube

Resurrecting this thread. We finally solved this problem: Seat Belt Stiffeners And a goofy how to install video: Install Video

I believe you can buy door check repair or rebuild kits

Yes, Barnyard Cruisers is my Cruiser/parts business. I've been running it full time for the last few years. Thank you everyone for the kind words! It really means a lot. I try to do whatever I can to help people get what they need for their rigs...

@greenbeast What are you needing? Pics, visual, etc.? I am about 30 miles away. I get to Blacksburg here and there. If you want a mechanical inspection I recently discovered a family owned repair shop that between the owner and his son they...

I think the stance is perfect. I always want my unloaded Cruiser to be a bit higher in the back so it can suck up weight.

Uninspectable

New addition to Maple Ave. Already a fan of trips in the ‘60. Birdie - left and Millie (Irish twin from the same parents) - right.

Evening jaunt in Montana w/ my FJ60

Got mine installed, and happy to say no leaks in the (super pathetic) monsoons and no whistling when going down the highway. When open I can easily reach into the back area and touch the floor, meaning I can grab anything on that side without...

I have an 83 FJ 60 that I fully desmogged 2 years ago, just went and pulled the box down that I put some items in, is this what you need? If so you can have it. Not sure of condition but I believed it work when I removed it. Just PM me your...

Well said @OGBeno

While I was the first person ToyotaMatt banned/blocked, it was because he was taking advantage of the general ignorance people have of how the Toyota system works. This was over ten years ago. I called him out on it. I got banned/blocked...

I’ve long since got over spending $18 for a $3 dollar early FJ-45 SILCA key blank that Matt initially cut on his fancy Toyota Key cutting machine. He then told me to take the key to the local locksmith and have it cut it to the lock number...

Pulaski- “G” option

Cheers

Made a spacer out of a bronze spacer out of the general hardware section.. Blows my mind, you can walk into a park store and ask for a distributor hold down clamp and they have no idea what a distributor is… so unfortunately, waiting on Amazon...
