I did mine two weeks ago similar to the red 60...It took one half of a one-gallon can. I love the look and will try to post pictures soon. Dan

Hello... The fan that comes-on to cool the carb after running is not kicking-on anymore (It was fine before winter) Can someone please point me in the right direction to tell me if it is the actual fan or something else? Is there a fuse, etc? 1985 FJ-60 Thanks everyone, Dan

I will take a set @ $20.00 (Mine finally quit working this summer)... Please email dwhitford@charter.net with paypal name, shipping cost, etc Thanks, Dan

Mine does the same thing...i just close the seat with a bandana wedged in each bracket, works great, stops all the noise. When I finally get motivated, I was thinking I'd buy a piece of the same diameter vacuum hose, slitting it up the side and placing it over the point-of-contact...Should...

2nd that thought... I thought i had a leak at the manifold and needed to replace two of the gaskets on the EGR set-up this weekend...Much easier Dan

I have never really been a car guy until this summer and now I am cruiser obsessed, lol! Wound-up getting a really nice deal on a very decent 1985 FJ-60 (130k) with less then a tiny bit of rust and a nice interior along w/ a parts truck. I cannot believe how much I enjoy the vehicle. I love...

Thank you Cruisergreg!

Cruiser Dan... I have an 85 FJ-60. I brought it into the dealership to have the gas tank recall work done last Tuesday. After the work was completed, I noticed the gas gauge was no longer working. I called the dealership and they asked me to bring it back on Friday. Well, on Wednesday...

Hello... I did a search on replacement vacuum lines and found a couple of threads but no clear answer... What I did gather: 1. The two sizes are 3mm and 5.5 mm. 2. The OEM price is $10.00 meter <yikes> Does anyone have any success stories/sources/part #'s/prices? Maybe total #...

Good Idea, chrome gutter trim comes off tomorrow... But I have to ask, what the heck are "snake blinders?" (Why do I just know when you tell me it will be obvious, lol!) Thanks again, Dan

Hello... Today I removed the Mud Flaps and the trim which runs along the rocker panel on my 60 in preperation for a new paint job. Lo and behold, there was some rust lurking under both the flaps and the molding...I am going to be doing some body work before the paint job, but I just wanted...

I sure will...However, I won't be able to take the pictures until Saturday (truck is off-site)... I will take a picture of the dash and everything else that needs to be disconnected (I have the cluster and the heater facing off of my parts truck also) I can email the pictures to you, but...

I recently did one and it was pretty easy.... There are four (4) 10mm nuts...One to the left of the cluster in the corner, one just to the left of the radio, one just to the right of the glove box and one in the corner to the right of the glove box..The are also two (2) clips almost directly...

Forerunner/Panama... Is this the EGR pipe? http://www.ih8mud.com/tech/egr/intakeview.jpg Are you suggesting I try replacing that one to see if it solves the problem? Thanks guys! Dan

Hello... I am going to change the exhaust gasket on my 1985 FJ-60 this weekend. I have never done this task and I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions regarding gasket-type, tricks, tips, look-outs, etc? The sound when I hit the gas (click/click/click) is driving me crazy! Thanks...
