    1989 FJ62 for parts.

    Body is pretty rotten but mechanicals are good! Would make a good farm truck as is. Engine could use a ring job but is still strong, tranny is original and unrebuilt, good for what it is. 4WD works great. Drivers side wheel studs need replacing before I'd drive it on the road again, but...

    fl60 losing charge?

    Howdy folks. My Fj60 seems to be losing charge when under load. It starts up and idles and drives perfectly until I have to use the headlights and wipers at the same time. If I am in gear and driving with lights and wipers then it is perfect, but when I come to a stop sign or a red light or...

    Early 60 Series PS PUMPS different?

    Hey all- I didn't know there had been further responses to this thread until now. I am writing to post a definitive answer to my question. Thanks for the feedback Jim and yes, the newer pump works with my early 81 2f engine. What a difference! The new pump is sweet and groan free starts are...

    Rodney party trick for auto tranny

    works Nothing bad will happen as long as you are going over 60MPH. I've done it. However, I don't think the beers before getting behind the wheel and driving 60mph+ in a 2 ton brick are a good idea.

    Early 60 Series PS PUMPS different?

    Ps pump No, it's not leaking but there is something going on with a bearing that is causing the pump to vibrate in a very strange manner. It basically groans non-stop. Like I said, it looks like it was rebuilt at least once before as it is painted blue. I don't want to rebuild it and have it...

    Early 60 Series PS PUMPS different?

    update and new question Ok. So I have a second and final concurring confirmation that the PS pumps are indeed different. If you have a pre-9/81 FJ60 then your PS pump is different. The only difference seems to be that the reservoir is somehow different. All other components have identical...

    Early 60 Series PS PUMPS different?

    Anyone got any insght on this little problem? I'm looking for a new oem ps pump for my 1981 FJ60 and have been told by a reliable source that it is discontinued by Toyota?? I was under the impression that all ps pumps for fj60's with a 2F are the same. Does anyone know if a ps pump for a...

    Rodnry flush?

    rod flush Just wanted to add that there is no reason you need remove the driveshaft. It can make things a bit easier, but it is also a pain in the ass and makes things more complicated than they need to be. No real reason to do it. All brackets and bolts can be accessed from under the truck...

    OME Lift Install Snag

    zerks This has been covered in previous threads. try undoing the grease zerks on your driveshaft. It allows grease to squirt out thus shortening your driveshafts.

    Acetone added to increase MPG?

    acetone I started a thread about this not too long ago. I'm on my 3rd tank. I too have alternated tanks to see what the difference is. The only increase I am seeing thus far is in power and not just a smidge. A decent amount of kick that makes the truck more fun to drive. That actually...

    boxes n springs yeah. springs can just be labelled and shipped without boxing. other stuff you can make your own boxes out of appliance shipping boxes. try your local big box store and ask for boxes they'd otherwise recycle. then go home and cut them up and reconfigure to fit whatever you...

    Engine turns over, but won't start...

    Not enough info You really need to see the truck to diagnose this. It could be any number of a hundred things. Spark fuel and air systems and any combo therein. So basically it could be anything. If the engine turns over then at least you know it's not seized. Aside from that you really...
