I don’t need it to pass smog. Thanks for the replies.

My pump seized up today. I guess most people would remove all the smog equipment on their motors but mine only has 187k miles on it. The serpentine belt got fried when it went bad and it also connects the water pump. Toyota doesn't have anymore and a refurbished one goes for $700. Any ideas...

Yes, my fan works fine.

I had an engine restoration done by Profitt's LCs in 2019. Yes, the smog is still hooked up, although not sure it works correctly. The engine has the heat shield under the carb. This issue just cropped up. It's mostly in the garage as I daily drive an 83 FJ60.

My carb cooling fan works fine. It goes and stays on for awhile after I turn my truck off. Hmmm

I have a 78 FJ40 that has a 2f engine that has been recently restored. The last few months it seemed to run warmer than usual and if I stopped my car and tried to start it back up, it would just die and not start up until the engine got cool again after 30-90 minutes. It is vapor lock in my gas...

I see they are from South Africa. Do they ship to USA?

I’m a new owner of 2013 Tacoma double cab. I have SOR covers on my ‘83 60 series landcruiser that I like. Who makes a good fitted rear seat cover and front seat covers so my dog doesn’t trash my seats? Mine are heavy duty canvas.

Good to know my fellow mudders. Steve, the mechanic says it can be recut. I won’t try to find a new one then. Cheers

I have a 83 Fj60 that has 183000 miles and the clutch has started to slip and I have a clutch assembly ordered but they couldn’t source a new flywheel for me. Are these hard to get? Any ideas where I should start my search first? Thanks for your help.

Sure enough, that did it. Weird that it decides to start working after owning it for 5 years. I also have a non working rear wiper although it will decide to work every year to two. I guess there is a electrical gremlin that decided to rear it’s head after 38 years. It runs great though and I...

I have a 83 FJ60 that has low miles (182000). It’s always been well maintained and runs and drives great. I use it daily although living in Ouray, don’t put huge mileage on it. Anyway, I hear a beeping noise coming from the passeger side under the dash. It beeps 10-15 times in a 7-8 second...

Are there any manufacturers of 1/64 th scale die cast FJ60 land cruisers.

Fall fun in the 83
