That is really great but I went with a Wheelskins kit and its been great since I installed it 4 years ago. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/which-wheelskin-size-for-an-fj60.1225289/

I do just because it gives me better fuel mileage but the times when I don't, I don't get any knocking.

I built a 2FE that is close to what has been suggested. I got all of the parts (3FE head, ECU, misc bits) from https://forum.ih8mud.com/members/trail-tailor.66052/ . I also got 0.30" pistons and had the head skimmed and ported/polished. I had a local Landcruiser mechanic do the conversion. It...

I mounted 6.5" rounds in the rear panel of my 60. There is plenty of room behind the panel. They sound better when the rear seats are down as in the picture. I rarely have the rear seat up so that is not an issue.

I went a different route. I've got a bluetooth controller located on the center console that is very handy to get to. The amp is located under the driver seat and I used the power wires from the old head unit to the bluetooth controller and and amp. It works great. I much prefer a knob and not...

I have OME 2" lift and I went with TRD Taco SEMA 17" rims and BFG KO2 275/70R17. I think its a great set up.

I got a set of Procar Elites a couple of years ago in gray canvas. They are supportive and comfortable for a long drive. They mount on the stock runners so both seats took all of 20 minutes to swap out. https://procarbyscat.com/product/elite/

I just replaced the starter pigtail on my FJ60 with one from https://forum.ih8mud.com/members/toyotamatt.25798/ . I have been having issues with the de-icer my town has been using corroding the wiring. It must have been happening for a while as my 60 now starts up in a heartbeat. It had been...

Matt PM'ed you.

Matt I'd like to get a few of those pigtails as well. Is that possible?

I used these for the TRD rims:

I went up to 17" TRD Taco rims, TRD 17-In. Matte Black - Alloy Wheel - https://autoparts.toyota.com/products/product/trd-17-in-matte-black-alloy-wheel-ptr2035110bk There are a ton of choices for tire sizing for 17" rims. No spacers needed and fit inside the fenders with no problem. There is...

I only use a bluetooth controller for my phone so I don't have anything in my radio slot. I have this installed in its pace. I also took the cigarette lighter out and installed a round one like the one shown above in its place. I had to use a step drill and open the hole up slightly to make it...

I have this one as well. It is so much better than the old originals. They have been on my 60 for 4 years and work great.

Many years ago, i took the vanes out of the smog pump and used the empty case as the belt tensioner. Worked like a champ for the next 14 years. Don't forget that you'll have to plug the injector holes in the head.
