Also, forgot to include this in write up, but i have the brand new carpet for trunk & wheel wells. I just took it out because the trunk is usually full of surfboards

Check out the link in description, but lmk if you want more.

1988 FJ62 daily driver going up for sale. This truck is super reliable and has served me well. I have a baby on the way, so unfortunately gotta find this baby a new home. The things i love most are it's never left me stranded and there is no frame rust. It has pretty much brand new carpet (put...

Did you ever figure out where this relay is?

this little hose was spewing coolant everywhere. this write up saved me. thanks @MorganEvans.

thanks @NOLACC . Was ready to mount it back in today and connect it up, but ran into a snag. Seems like you can't properly attach he mounting brackets because the threading for the fan shroud bolts is in the way. @NOLACC did you run into this with yours? My Dremel pooped out on my today, so...

makes sense, but that nut only screws down a little bit. Not enough to seal tight with the new radiator.

@NOLACC I'm running into the same issue with the lower elbow connection for the transmission cooler lines. do you remember how much of the threads you cut off? Does it really even matter as long as it screws down snug onto the O-Ring?

do you know what the adapters that connect the transcooler lines into the bottom of the radiator are called? Connectors that go into the rad at the ends of the lines 32941A & 32942A. I'm installing the rad from Cruiser Corps, but those piece from my stock rad seem to be too long... wondering if...

Replaced my oil pan using all yalls great advice. Thanks for all the tips! Also replaced the little gaskets between the oil outlet pipe and oil pump strainer (which i heard go bad so good to do while you have the pan off). Filled it back up with 8.5qt of oil which is what the FSM recommends...

Awesome write up @Ironclad. Worked perfect!

I just replaced the relays and BOOM the driver window works again. Thanks SLC!

I just replaced my TREs and Relay Rod ends yesterday. Some tips for anyone about to do this… Use a ball joint puller for the pitman arm removals, it works WAY better than a pitman arm puller. You can rent it at Autozone for free. Buy a new tie rod and relay rod. It’s well worth it to skip the...
