      So I do a bit of leatherwork, and I made my own Leather steering wheel cover for my FJ40. I'm starting the process of making one for my Fj 60. My plan is to (slowly) document the process here on this thread so other folks can do it too. I'm...

      My drivers windshield squirter is more just a dribbler and a stopper at the moment. I disconnected and cleaned the metal squirter nozzle, but still nothing. I think the problem is the fitting on the short hose going to the nozzle.. It appears...

      Thanks Everyone, I need to nut up again and take on bigger projects, but not being able to bring the truck in the garage to work at my pace + HOA means I'm going to throw money at this one. I did get the PS leak tackled I think. I bought a big...

      Bearden no longer works on cars older than 1995, so they are out.

      I’ve used them, Edwin is a great dude and 40 mechanic though very busy. Another central TX mechanic you might want to hit up is is AJ’s Yotas up in Cedar Park. On the forum as @aljollano. what are you wanting to get done?

      I've heard Bearden and Landcruiser specialists recommended for land cruiser work in Austin. If I need my 82 fj60 transfer case rebuilt (front output bearing is shot) who is the right choice in town? should I go with a trans rebuilder? My mobile...

      I was cheap on this, the problem I was fixing was the headlight wiring under the dash getting uncomfortably hot, so I got a cheap harness on amazon and a cheap set of round led headlights. I wasnt' sure I'd like them, so i got the cheapest one i...

      Tackle boxes are the coolest, the exact same thing but branded off-road tool box cost 4x. Walmart isle 49 has a “tool box” for $9 bucks😬

      Yeah I just ordered one of each, old, brittle, discontinued AND right where I'll break it messing with the thermostat & rad hoses...SOLD! Both just just over $100 shipped to my door. Totally worth it.

      caladin replied to the thread What is this vacuum valve?.
      The top one is pale pink, the bottom one an orangish pink... I wonder if a pink got put in place of a purple by the po? Do they just switch at different temps? I'll dig out my bore scope and see if I can read the part, Couldn't - quite get my...

      Don't you sell a dongle to fix the hibeam on koito harnesses, or do I have you mixed up with another? I think that's what he's talking about. Op, you can get a pretty good improvement just getting a ground switched harness that runs bypassing...

      I'm gradually replacing my vac lines, and found another broken vacuum valve. This one appears to be a temp sensor of some kind, it's under/by the thermostat? Any help identifying it, and or where to get one is greatly appreciated. One of the...

      I believe I used a new one from a 60 series on my 82 22R. It was the exact same part I just had to change the plug. Maybe an older single wire from a 40 would work for you? Throttle / Idle Solenoid FJ40, FJ45, FJ55 1975-1976 -...

      Clean the terminals and starter connections, charge the battery or jump, and whack the starter a few times in case the brushes are going bad. But if its associated w/ the cold snap, it's probably the battery/connections
