My understanding is that the harness is from the ‘89 FJ62 but it’s possible that some of the HJ61 bits made the move too. I will have a look tomorrow to see if I happen to have that connector that might require some rework. Thank you!

Hi All- Interesting update: I discovered a strange sound originating from the front of the engine only to eventually hear a crack and a pop! Not sounds that are particularly reassuring. After some extensive poking around, I eventually discovered...

Wow! I can't wait to try that!

Dry Ice makes quick work of the old sound deadener.

Installed an Amazon horn kit and find that only the higher pitch horn actually sounds. Seems the concurrent draw of the lower pitch horn might cause a voltage drop that overwhelms the circuit? Not blowing fuses, but it does work if I short the...

Installed the vac reservoir and the brakes stay nice and firm now.

Found a bull bar on FB which I am pretty stoked on!

Just came up against this! I have a FJ62 cowling that I have tried flipping but it indeed collides with the outlet fittings from the integrated transmission fluid cooling circuit. It also seems like it might rub up against radiator hose. Do...

So I was ultimately able to find the coolant temperature sending unit location. Sneaky little bugger is situated behind the oil filter and the copper terminal is pretty dark, so it really blends into the side of the block. Still no luck in...

After some further digging it seems that I might be looking at the EFI "sensor". In the case of the 1HD-T I think it sends a signal to the glow plug timer circuit, in the case of the 3FE with EFI it lets the ECU know that the engine is warm. So...

I found the proper FJ62 coolant temp sending unit that fits into the 1HD-T block properly (and indeed matches what was in the block previously) though I cannot seem to find the correct place in the wiring harness on the body to connect it to...

I got the front end all put back together and looking proper this evening. I don't have a bumper, but that can come in time.

Ah that’s useful, thanks. Definitely planning to investigate a bit deeper before I install a mechanical gauge. I’ve had one of those fail behind the dash on a Mercedes and it made a big ol’ oily mess.

On my Hj60, my oil pressure gauge issues ended up being melted wires in the dash behind the instrument panel.

Lots of good progress in the last few weeks, which was temporarily disrupted by some travel. Getting back after it these next few days. Brake lines are attached between the body and frame and are now bled (including the proportioning valve which...

Does anybody have a review/pics of the Tru-Fit vinyl installed in a 60 series? I am looking to replace the nasty carpet in mine.

There is one on FB marketplace in Vegas.

Not mine, no affiliation, but looks like an interesting opportunity. Log into Facebook -...

Enough said. Very well stated and by your explanation it’s obvious you’re a cruiser lover at heart. Thank you for sharing. I absolutely love this setup hence the reason my 60 is built just like yours. I’ll be surprised if you’re not closing...

Awesome, thank you!

I have both, I'll get pix tomorrow

Toyota OEM starter off of my 1HD-T that I converted to 12V. Spins when 24VDC applied, have not tested under load. Located in 93101 Willing to ship at buyer's expense. Thanks for looking!

Hey - I am looking for radiator support brackets for a factory FJ62 radiator. Also looking for an air filter housing. The one I have does not play nicely with the fenders of the 60 series as it was designed for a HDJ81. I will likely end up...

Hey @BrickRunner ! Yep, stoked to be resurrecting it. Too cool of a truck to let rot. Your 60 looks sweet! I will keep an eye out for it when I am in Ojai next. Cheers!
