Just the starter, and the fact when i put it gear on my sloped driveway, vehicle weight made the engine rotate. after that starter spins it for a bit, then it locks back up so the starter cant' spin..

Plugs in. I didn't think of hydro lock. I use synthetic but i hadn't' changed the PO oil yet, he did had a shop do it just before i bought it. It was only it's 2nd real drive. last was to the corner store to fill the tank up.

I mentioned this in a previous thread, I way overheated my 2f when the hose to the oil cooler popped and dumped all the coolant. (like it shut off and oil was smoking on engine, bad. Yes, I'm apparently an idiot.). Engine seizes enough that...

current guess same trans, just replace motor.

what are the ball park figured for an LS or SBC swap into an f60 (82)? self and at a shop. May have cooked my motor. oil cooler hose popped, missed it, Got so hot it shut off and was smoking. Though it was the brake fluid I'd accidentally fill...

I fixed my gas gauge! (new sender, old was frozen) It seems like a small thing, but it's the last thing before I was comfortable taking it for a drive out of my neighborhood. I also replaced the dual battery trays with Stainless, pure vanity...

Thanks Matt! E-

That was my thought, if I do it' i'l post the numbers and where i cut them here for posterity

No issues yet, just saw the hose cracking today. What happens if that one fails?

The one up front is starting to crack a fair bit along the bulge above bottom hose clamp, and if I was doing 1, why not both. Didn't want to get stranded.

I need to replace these two hoses, can't find on mega zip. Anyone have part number or a source for decent replacements? I'd rather avoid straight hose for those bends. Between the drivers battery and the air intake for carb, I -think they...

I got the a few more things done than above, and then paused cause of the cold and kinda never got back to it. She sat for around 2 years. I got the AC mostly resurrected, by throwing money at it. I'm having the circuit breaker issue, tried a...

I want to put a flat tow bar on my fj60. It was nice to take my Fj40 for test drives, and if something went wrong, just have the wife drive the pickup and bar over, hook it all up and drive home. Wet, they are just under 5k. Wet with some...

I know there is a breaker for the door locks under the dash, is there one for the windows too? Same Breaker? reset by poking pen in hole till it clicks. May not click if not already blown. EDIT: This thread says there is a breaker but not...

I was on a PC, it's working now for me too. I just thought you want to know.

Does anyone know where to get a new set of brushes for the motor, that's what you swap in a rebuild, correct? Then just clean everything up. I had a bunch of wires in the way of my AC Breaker and couldn't find it, these photos, though actually...

I don't know what year it changed, but earlier 60s have this diagram and the AC breaker is up under the dash, not in the fusel box. Mine is an 12/82 and is the early layout. E-

Just thought I'd mention that when I went to the Trail Tailor website, and when i tried to look at the fj60 page, it said i did not have permissions.

I was looking at city racer for parts for my AC and saw this, is it your "Choke breaker" /choke opener? 2F Carburetor Secondary Diaphragm for '81 to '87 Land Cruiser FJ40 FJ55 FJ60 -...

Check the steering box is still tightly bolted to the chassis rail.. this was the cause of my vague steering - all 4 bolts were loose (found after a full rebuild of both swivel hubs and replacement of all TREs).

At the end's of your relay rod there's a cotter pin and a slotted fitting screwed into the end. Remove the cotter pin tighten down the slotted fitting all the way in back it of 3/4 of a turn or so and reinstall the cotter pin. This will take a...

I bought 1 from cruiser parts, as watermarked on the image, than found this, and you can get them from toyota, i got them from toyota parts deal E-

1 tire low, fixed that, lifted a couple inches, 33s.

It belonged to someone else before i parked it 18 Mo ago., bought it at a good price and several things needed fixing first. Just got it back on the road. Spent some time wrenching on it right after i bought it, weather got cold, and I lost...
