    For Sale '88 FJ62-Great rig, very sad to sell-344Kmiles(Portland, Oregon)

    More pics of her. There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with her. I use her a few times a week to drive to work, the gym, groceries, etc. I wish I didn't have to sell but life has sadly intervened. It's a west coast car as far as I know. Previous owners were from Oregon and before that...

    For Sale '88 FJ62-Great rig, very sad to sell-344Kmiles(Portland, Oregon)

    VIN: JT3FJ62GXJ0086864 $17,400 Introducing “Minnie the Minx”! She’s a unique beauty isn’t she? Great, solid rig, looking for a new, loving home. I’m sad to sell her as there’s absolutely nothing wrong with her – I unexpectedly(well, kinda...) had twins....we need a minivan as the Out-Laws...

    Is a Transmisson Cooler needed?

    Thanks everybody, this is Brilliant info and super helpful. The consensus is clear, put in a Tranny Cooler given the larger tires, age of the rig and my intention to keep the tranny as long as possible. Cheers again

    Is a Transmisson Cooler needed?

    Hi there, I'm a relative newbie. Bought a '88 FJ62 and slowly getting her back to form. It came with tiny tires that made her look odd. I think they were the original tires. I'm looking for something a bit bigger. I'm thinking of putting 265/75R16's (31.5x10.5x16) on the rig as I saw one in...

    Installing window runs? Door handles?

    Hi there, I've got an '88 FJ62....over 340K miles. Runs solid...bits and bops to work on as you know. The electric windows don't work that well....quite slow going up and down. I've been advised the window runs are quite stiff and need replacement. I ordered some Used window runs from...

    ahhhh, brilliant everyone. thanks for all the input. You've given me lots of good places to investigate. To answer some of your questions/suggestions: - There's no discernible gas leaking on my driveway when it sits for a day or two. - Gas cap seems tight with the gas cap rubber seal in...

    Hi there, I'm new to the forum as I just bought a '88 right with over 300K miles....engine and trans were rebuild about 100K miles ago. No rust. In good shape inside and out. Solid little girl I plan to restore her slowly over time. I've asked two Land Cruiser shops here in Portland and...

    Type of White paint for FJ62 rims?

    That's very helpful. You say Toyota still sells the wheels. Are you saying the wheels sold by Toyota are 15x6? Do I just call the Toyota dealer and their parts department can order them or do you recommend some other manner to contact Toyota? Do you know where I could get 16(not 15, as I...

    Type of White paint for FJ62 rims?

    Hi there, I just bought a 1988 FJ62, Red...solid body, usual work on the engine and trans you'd expect for a rig over 300K. Runs great. It came with some ugly aftermarket chrome 16" rims. I'm going to find some original rims and paint them white(instead of the original chrome). I've seen a...
