    Fuel Pump Location?

    Ya, something doesn’t seem right. I believe the 60 tank has the pump on the forward right corner next to the sender like the 62. I’ll probably scope it for him to verify before he does any more cutting.

    Fuel Pump Location?

    Not that I could see. Seems like there’s quite a bit of length to the wires and they do go toward the tail gate but hard to tell where exactly.

    Fuel Pump Location?

    So a buddy of mine has an ‘88 FJ62 and wanted to do the “fuel pump access door” mod but when he opened it up the fuel pump wasn’t located where he thought it was. Everything he looked up says it should be there for his year/model. Anyone have any ideas? He doesn’t want to cut anymore until he...

    FJ60 Alternator Wires

    I forgot I had started this thread. My original alternator finally bit the dust a couple of weeks ago so I guess it’s finally time to get off my butt and install my upgraded unit. It was easy enough to install, came with the mounting adapters and “one-wire” install. I capped off the old plug...

    Starter Issue?

    I just took the batt in to have it tested and it’s good. Now back to the drawing board. When I jump it it sounds like a weak battery and improves the longer I let it charge. Then I disconnect the other car and let the Cruiser idle for a while. Shut it off and starts strong. Then 10 mins...

    Starter Issue?

    Battery is an Optima reading 12.5V with the vehicle off. I just swapped the starter and it’s doing the same thing. I cleaned all contacts/mounting points and replaced all cable with heavy marine grade cable from my new alternator all the way to the starter, battery ground and starter ground...

    Starter Issue?

    I have a 1985 FJ60. Replaced the starter about 2 years ago. So The other day I was out and about and accidentally stalled it. I started it right back up and drove about 40 ft and the engine just stalled. Rolled to a stop and it wouldn’t restart. Starter would try but wouldn’t turn the...

    Power Steering Suggestions

    I have a 1985 FJ60. It had the original PS pump but it was leaking really bad. I did some research and replaced it with a Saginaw pump. I used a bunch of washers and bolts to shim it out and get it mounted straight. I had to use my old pulley and bore it out to the correct shaft size (not...

    Brake Pressure Issue

    I decided to replace the master cylinder first because it looked original and was inexpensive. I bench bled it and then flushed and bled the entire system once installed. It fixed the problem. The master cylinder was full of sludge. I highly recommend spraying PB Blaster all brake fitting...

    Brake Pressure Issue

    That sounds like exactly what mine is doing.

    Brake Pressure Issue

    I didn’t touch the master cylinder. Just replaced the brake lines at the front hubs with stainless steel braided lines. I did notice that I had reduced brake pressure shortly before I did the front axle rebuild. I wonder if the master cylinder finally just bit the dust a couple months ago.

    Brake Pressure Issue

    I just completed a front axle rebuild on my 1985 FJ60. I replaced the front brake lines, calipers and pads. I bled the entire system starting at the drums in the rear and then the front. The problem is that while driving, when I depress the pedal slowly I don’t have much brake pressure until...
