So my little '85 FJ60 came back to me near the beginning of 2018 after patiently waiting for my return to Montana for five years. I'm sure it's unnecessary to describe how it felt to get him back, even if he didn't run and had rusted more and had the Optima battery replaced with a Napa and had...

Okay! I'll check the one way and make sure it's functioning. Aaand I'll just go ahead and read that manual. Thanks for the try, cps!

This is what mine looks like. Believe you tighten the screw down onto the cable after threading in the end. Hope it helps!

Thanks guys!! Got a hose on the way! It doesn't get too cold here in the mountains of NC but I want to give the old man as much help as possible. First thing I did was take a piece of the hose into a local parts store, no dice. And I found another hose that I assume will have to be ordered...

Hey guys! Have an '85 FJ60 that's mostly in...decent?...shape. Unfortunately for him, I'm about as mechanically inclined as a squirrel. While pulling off the carb I noticed this hose was broken...and since I know only the very basics, tracking down what it is or does hasn't provided very many...

I tried out your suggestion, 3_puppies, but it was a little too worn to save. I went ahead and replaced it. Took about an hour and a half, cost somewhere under $115.00. Totally forgot and can't find the receipt for the parts. On another note...my driver headlamp just went out. I'm...

Got a new windshield and antenna today!! Well, my padre got them for me. Anyway, the guy at the glass shop didn't know a thing about replacing the windshield and had to take it to the professionals. They mangled the chrome stripping around it. Didn't replace the gasket. Sooo...will they be...

Hey 3_Puppies I’m over in Missoula, I checked in on the Montana section in the clubhouse, said hi and poked through all the threads. Have you guys gotten together so far this spring or fall? Or planned another meeting? Lugal, I just don’t know where to start! Even with the list. I have...

Did you guys ever make the first Coffee and Cruisers an established event?

Hey guys! My name is Amanda, and while we're confessing, I thought Land Cruisers were absolutely hideous for...a long long time. And then I drove an FJ60 around for a while. After that while was up my dad practically had to steal the keys from me to get his vehicle back. I had seen the...

Thanks for the welcome guys! Here are a few pictures for now. I'll hop on here again after all the fourth of July festivities are over with. Have a safe weekend! And I have more pictures but I can't figure out how the whole put the image in the post thing works. =D

Wise and experienced men have been telling me for a year now not to "polish a turd" but I really like mine! He got his name because of a few of his traits. 'Dirty' because when Dad brought him home his engine had like an inch of gunk coating it, we cleaned him off, and when I next came in...
