    60 won't start without...

    My cold weather starting woes had a relatively simple fix. After lots of trouble shooting, I figured out that the choke cable was not closing the plate completely when on full choke position. I adjusted the cable at the attachment point at carb, and the issue was fixed. In warmer weather, when...

    SOLD  FJ60 fusible link: PA

    Used fusible link from 1985 FJ60. Was having electrical/charging issues. Replaced alternator and issues still persisted. Running out of ideas I bought a new fusible link. After additional trouble shooting, determined that it was my alternator (faulty rebuild) so now I have an extra fusible...

    Rocker panels and clips

    I have an FJ60. A few of my rocker panel clips were broken and the trim was loose. I ended up using a putty knife to remove the whole chrome strip since it was difficult to replace just a single attachment clip while the molding was attached. Once the molding was off the vehicle I replaced...

    FJ60, brake and battery charge light on

    Hi All--1985 FJ60. The brake light and battery charge light were flickering and then staying on when driving. Also low voltage in instrument cluster, and low voltage with voltmeter at battery when truck was running. I took out the alternator (original toyota part) and had it rebuilt by a shop...

    Advice on smog pump

    My mechanic charged me for about 16 hrs to do the entire job. He was very thorough and addressed other minor things along the way, including a headlight wiring issue. Here is link to the "How to Desmog a FJ60." TOYOTA FSM

    Advice on smog pump

    I have an 85 FJ60 and live in a state that does not require emission testing. I had a few minor leaks with components of the smog system, so I decided for a complete desmog instead of repairing various parts. I was not confident in my own mechanical skills, so I bought all the required parts...

    Gas tank failure, 2000 w/210k in PA

    Hi All- I live in PA and my 100 is starting to fall victim to road salt. Its not my daily drive, but I've been nursing it along. It has spent all 19 of years here in PA... The latest damage is the fuel tank. Slow gas leak (few drops an hour) from what appears to be the seam area. Any one...

    OME shocks

    My cruiser is also a daily drive. Only off road a few times a year. I went with the Sport version of the shocks in my Medium lift and feel I comprimised too much on day to day road comfort. No more leaning when going around corners and stays nice and level when breaking, but I feel every...

    Squeaky Center Console, Shifter Trim, etc

    Similar squeeks with my 2000 LC--much worse in cold weather (<20 F). Most of them I fixed by stuffing a few business cards or small pieces of cardboard in discrete locations to force a tighter fit.

    2000 LC, normal idle speed

    Does anyone know the normal idle speed, warm engine, a) in Park, and b) in Drive with the brakes on? My battery died while replacing the headlight. Once the battery was recharged the LC would not idle at all. It drove fine but when I took my foot off the accelorator the engine would...
