    Is this shock too long?

    it has a Man A Fre shackle reversal 4” lift and it never flexed very well. I’m thinking maybe the OME shocks were the limiting factor there and by just measuring and replacing them I’ve just kicked the same problem further down the road. The difference was it wasn’t so obvious before.

    Is this shock too long?

    So I am in the process of replacing the front shocks on my FJ40 and have switched from OME that we’re 20 years old to some Bilsteins. I took the old shocks to the shop and we measured them and ordered Bilsteins of a comparable length. The OME have a steel cover so I never saw how much shaft was...

    Where is this water coming from?

    This hose was not clogged but it is the drain. I had the thought that maybe it’s upstream from here and right as the cable I was using punched through I realized I didn’t know how much water was up there. There was a lot! The carpet is soaked so if you are doing this be prepared for water.

    Where is this water coming from?

    I am back home and I'm hoping that it's the drain tube for the condenser.

    Where is this water coming from?

    I am in the process of driving kids to school and noticed water collecting here on the FJ60. I did have the ac on at the time. Any ideas what I’m looking at today? Thanks in advance.

    Has anyone used the seatbeltplanet.com harnesses for the rear of an FJ60?

    I have a set of the factory FJ 60 brown seatbelts but after talking with a friend of mine decided to go the factory 3 point that Spectre Off Road sells. You have to adjust the shoulder belt but my kids are tall enough now that I can trust them to do it.

The post looked fine and the wiper arm was so I out it all back together and very carefully tightened it back down. I have no idea what I did differently this time but it works fine. I...

    Replace worn out wiper arms with 4Runner arms

    THanks! The passenger side went great, then came the drivers side. When they painted the 60 the didn't replace the wiper bolt with the factory one and it was jammed up. I got it off with a small impact wrench, stud looked fine so I mounted the new wiper. It tightened down fine but when I turned...

    Replace worn out wiper arms with 4Runner arms

    So I ordered up all the parts and I have a question about the arms. The 4Runner arms I have are smooth at the mounting point and the post to mount it to has indexing marks like was on the old arm. Do I just bolt it on and it will work? Did I somehow get the wrong arms? It's a 1984 FJ 60 if that...

    Has anyone used the seatbeltplanet.com harnesses for the rear of an FJ60?

    So I was talking to Steve today from seatbelt planet and as we were talking about my concerns of the mounting shoulder belts in my truck that doesn't have the mount for the retractor he mentioned that they make harnesses. I was wondering if anyone had used them or if anyone has any thoughts on...
