Thanks to y'all for all the input. The FJ62 is cranking over and I've done absolutely nothing different. Who knows?! @Randy88FJ62 , thanks for the mention of the OEM Denso, I was about to buy a new a/c compressor and saw the Denso brand, but didn't know it was OEM to the Toyota. I also wanted...

Yeh @Hojack , turns out I found the receipt for the starter and it's two years old, so I'll be looking at that as well, when I get the chance. Thanks man!

Thanks my gents! But I replaced the starter last year, and my old man strongly believes it's the coil that's getting too hot and shorting out... He says he had the same issue with his old rides from the 60s...what can I do?!

Alright my expert gentlemen, the ole FJ62 has power, i.e., instrument panel lights up, radio comes on, headlights, etc., and the battery is literally brand new, but the darn thing just won't crank over, and it happens randomly, meaning it doesn't always not crank over...most the time it cranks...

yes, this is great! mine is certainly the 18 teeth gear, which is what I currently have. for what it's worth, the mechanic who rebuilt my transmission told me the speedo gear had burned up inside the transfer case when he removed it...so perhaps something else was damaged? I'm going to try...

ok, I will surely try this when I have time this weekend. thank you for your input! also, on the gear piece itself, there are two slots on either side of the little bolt/shaft where the speedo cable fits, but the cable only has one piece that sticks out to slide into the shaft of the gear...

hello my peeps, just had my transmission rebuilt on the FJ62, but my speedometer is not working. I replaced the transfer case speedo gear and it worked for a few miles, then quit again. Please advise if you can! thank y'all!

Cool! I hope it's that simple, thanks man!

no, not the same Cruiser. This one spent its whole life in Louisiana.

No, YD, it's just really dang loose, no tension, and the shift knob is sticking like a SOB

the crippled Cruiser

Thanks for the encouragement FB! I've had a stroke of bad luck lately...the Land Cruiser is back in the shop, as it broke down on me last weekend and I had to have it towed back to Lafayette from Lake Charles...suspected transmission issues, even though I spent $4k on a new one last year...

That'd be cool, thank you, but I'm not sure either...?

Can anyone point me in the right direction for fuse and wiring diagrams? Since I've disassembled my dash to install the evap core, I'm having persistent electrical issues, like dash lights out, taillights; and the same dang fuses keep burning out. Any input please and thank you!
