$744 for a tranny rebuild in addition transfer, steering shaft (new u-joints), new rear main seal, install clutch, check head lights, new sealed beam, new bulb on right side That is the steal of a century if done right. I am working on trying to get my tranny rebuilt/replaced/swapped to a...

Well as in another ongoing thread .. 212k 88 FJ62, Tranny is about dead. Engine runs fairly well and is clean. My LC runs better then my 2002 Chevy car. I say scrap the car and get a FJ55, some reason I really like the look of them. Of course if I do that I will swap 25 mpg for 1...

Thank You all for the help. I will PM the above mentioned and also call Gary at Mudrak. I like the idea of converting to a H55F, if the price seems decent then the only problem will be driving/getting the truck to Sonoma. :)

HAHAH Cahilc I like your #3... Carolina trust me she has already brought that up. My point to her was well if I take the 4500 and buy another 4x4 (thats the only option for me and has to be a camping hauler) then eventually the same thing will happen. If we have Toyota replace our tranny...

I have a 88 FJ62 and I am sad to report the Tranny basically died last week. I knew it would happen sooner or later because a few months ago I started having some troubles. I do not trust anyone to rebuild it as most of the shops in my area say they have only worked on A440F once or twice if...

I wanted to make a wife joke for this topic

I just searched Tire Rack and found 1 dealer in my town that tire rack recommended. I will call them tomorrow and see what they can do.

Ooops Sorry about that pimp. What was I thinking? I was wondering how you could call yourself a pimp with a wife :) Thank you so far for the replies. I was able to reach a friends friend that works at Just Tires and am trying to see if he can order them at a good price. They dont deal in...

Well I have read all the posts about tire sizes. My 62 is mostly used for 5 mile DD and then camping and fishing trips (guess who drives the truck daily - NOT ME :( ) Well anyway I need tires for moderate off road action. If I get to a lake I want to be able to take a trail to get somewhere...

I just changed mine last week. I would say it took me and a friend a few hours. We got it off without taking out the shroud but it was not easy and took a lot of shimmy action and tricky finger work to get the nuts back on.

Whats ur Temp ? Hi all my first post here. Been lurking for a little bit. I have seen the HOT HOT HOT thread and all the others in the search so I apologize for any repetition. My 88 FJ62 had a funny noise kind of like one of those timing chain whining noises you hear on old muscle cars...
