I'm already interested in LED and have already purchased and installed the factory conversion to halogen including relays. The question is are the receptacles the same as the plugs on an LED headlight and will they work on the oem koito kit. I don't want to purchase another conversion kit if all...

I have an 87 fǰ60 which I installed the OEM kioto halogen upgrade kit. I am not happy with the results. Can I just buy led bulbs for it or is more required.

I am also looking to repair the exhaust on my 87 FJ60. I have been trying to go the Walker Exhaust route but have not had any luck with their technical department. They keep telling me they don't make any products for the FJ60 but I believe the 46678 is the right tail pipe. I also need the...

Thanks guys for all the information, criticism, and advice. I had yet to do the research into how difficult it is to remove the old bushings. I have decided it is not feasible to even do a temporary repair to get it home. I have a friend with a diesel Dodge dualie and access to a vehicle hauler...

I have an 87 FJ60 with worn out front leaf spring bushings. I noticed a popping sound when turning and found part of the bushings missing causing the bolts to shift. This causes the steering to flex back and forth making it difficult to drive. It is several hours drive from home so I need to...

Thanks for the info. Has anyone tried the Dorman aftermarket window regulators? If they are good quality it will save me a couple hundred dollas [I need all four].

I had the chance to try and free up the window regulator on my drivers door. After applying silicone lubricant to the regulator and the rubber/felt guides , I noticed little change to the problem . I have decided to replace the regulator and window guides. I have found the regulator part...

Sorry it took me so long to reply but I had some things come up that delayed my being able to work on my truck. I plan to disasemble the drivers door this weekend and inspect the window regulator. If it appears to be in good shape I will try to lubricate the mechanism and guides. Next step...

I have an 87 FJ60 that all four door windows are very difficult to open to the point of wondering if the handles will break. One of the rear windows drags the rubber track with it when lowering. Is the rubber inserts the only reason for this or is there another probable source for the...

I removed and repaired the leaking fuel tank from my 77 FJ40 about 20 years ago. It has started leaking again and must be replaced. Who is a good source for a replacement tank? I am not trying to do a restoration, just trying to make it usable again.

I got the Walker kit but before I decide to do a full rebuild I am going to check if the accelerator pump is doing its job. With the fuel level in the middle of the sight glass I believe that pushing the accelerator should squirt fuel into the barrel of the carb. I don't believe it does. other...

I have an 87 FJ60 that I have had continuing fuel related starting problems. A few drops of fuel in the carb inlet and it fires right up and runs fine. I rebuilt the carb about 5 years ago and have decided to do it again. What company makes the best carb kit and where can I order it? Also...

I ordered the carb kit and am planning to fix the sticking accelerator pump plunger when it comes in. If that doesn't fix the starting problem the next step will probably be the OEM fuel pump. I may do the fuel pump anyway because I don't trust the aftermarket one after reading other peoples...

Thanks for the advice but I'd really rather not add the electric pump if I don't have to. I guess I will keep farting with it. I looked back and it has been 4 years since I rebuilt the carb, not 2. After removing the top of the breather and operating the throttle linkage by hand I believe the...

I have removed the fuel line and turned the key and there is fuel being pumped to the carb but I don't know how much pressure is required to fill the bowl. The bowl is empty before the failed attempt but after the assisted start the sight glass fills half way and will restart easily. I will try...
