Hi Seth, yeah the top is chopped. All seats have been removed now and have injection molded driver and passenger seats getting installed this weekend with land rover jump seats custom welded for the rear. I’m considering the jeep style minimalist tube door style.

Hello everyone! Back from a bit of a hiatus and trying to button down a few final options... I completed a desmog, carb rebuild, complete cooling system/ power steering upgrade, now I’m looking at my air cleaner housing and it looks like garbage (Florida, salt air, rust, what can I say?)...

So... Keiko needs a new set of shoes. Currently been running 31x10.5x15 on stock suspension with stock rims. She never sees the highway and very minimally on the road. She spends 90% of her time on Florida beaches with deep and dry sugar sand with occasional excursions into deep mud forest...

So my 87 Fj60 had an encounter with some salty flood waters a little while back...and due to a combination of weather, work, and just a lack of time hasn't been driven for about a month. Long story short I went to take her for a drive today and the drivers side rear wheel will not move at all...

That's it Jesper. She's gonna be mechanically a brand new truck before long! Lol

So spent this weekend serving up some love for Miss Keiko. Got her a new radiator (Thanks again 4Cruisers!) and after a good burping and test drive to verify no more overheating I treated myself to a nice cold beverage and congratulated myself on a job well done. But... (You all knew that was...

This will fit into an fj60 just wouldn't use the tranny cooler correct? I'll buy it if it will. and no leaks, good flow?

Thanks all! Replaced fan clutch, replaced thermostat, water pump definitely pushing coolant well, Tried flushing radiator (as well as entire system) lot of cloudy calcium looking gunk flushed out but still overheating when sitting still too long. Only thing I can figure out now is that the...

Arg. Exactly what I was afraid of. And of course I meant I have a clogged CFS. I love the idea of going completely OEM however I was having the same concerns about an old radiator. I think I'm going to look into some aftermarket options. I was trying to save money but you get what you pay for...

So... Once again I find myself in need of an expensive replacement piece for my FJ60. I currently have a hopelessly clogged CSL radiator in my rig. No clue how old it is, but I need to replace it. Cruiserparts.net offers an OEM Toyota radiator "like new" for $175. My question is... Has anyone...

Update #3: I have power steering! Added an aftermarket power steering cooler mounted between grill and radiator. Ten minute install and $17 at advance auto parts. Thank you everyone who reached out on here, you're the best resources ever! So happy!

Sure Cruiser Jimmy. Message me. I'm sure we can figure out something.

Note: swivel sockets are a must for the 3 bolts holding the bracket in place.

Update #2: Job complete! Removed bracket, loosened smog pump, then took assembly (power steering pump in bracket) to machine shop. Mounted bracket into vise and used impact gun to remove pulley(key was still intact!). Installed pulley on new pump attached to bracket and voila! Install was then...

Update: pulley is still attached lol impact gun didn't get it. However, bracket is now loose and will be able to pull the assembly in the morning. The plan is to bring it to a buddy's shop once off and we will break out the big guns and get it apart there. Thank you to jdayment and Output Shaft...
