Found a great local place that handled the work. Thanks for the advice!!

All, The cross member that supports the rear shocks of my 1988 FJ62 rusted and/or just gave out. It was my daily driver and I’ve driven it for a week before discovering the problem. No tracking issues like others. Just a clunck sound on significant bumps. Regardless, I’m going to park her until...

I have the same issue and haven’t found a locksmith that both knew what he was doing and wasn’t charging an arm/leg. Can anyone recommend a locksmith? I can send the doors and rear hatch locks for rekeying.

I’m talking about the 4wd button on the dash. I know the traditional bulb is a 158, but does anyone know the PN for the base or equivalent? I’m currently missing both and I’ve scoured the interwebs. I’ve tried the led swap but the switch requires the original base. Thanks!

@Freewheel Where did you find someone willing/able to do the back cylinder?

@Racer65 that looks great. Let me know when it is ready, I’ll pick up the front one from you at the same time. In the meantime, I’m going to try to reattach the original. Anyone know if the clips can be purchased on their own?

The weatherstripping at the rear of the hood (aka close to the windshield, not headlights) on my '88 FJ62 has become brittle and all of the clips have broken off. I cannot find a part number for the weatherstripping or the clips. Anyone know them? Still available? I'd also be interested in...

I had a severe leak in my radiator and after researching Mud, had my trusted mechanic replace it with a CSF 2708. Replaced the hoses, thermostat, and water temperature sending unit while at it. Before the repairs the engine temperature gauge never went above 1/4 in normal conditions. Now it...

Good question on overheating. I experimented a little. The gauge climbed to halfway and then I turned off the AC and it dropped quickly. With the AC on, I also tried adding gas while in park and the temp gauge dropped and air cooled.

I've read a bunch of the "Warm AC" threads but haven't found my particular problem. Here are the basics: I have had my 88 FJ62 with about 140k miles four about 2 years (not my first summer with it). The PO converted it to R134 by an experienced shop but I do not know if with if any of the system...

I love this place!!!

I have power windows and locks. I'm not sure if I'm lucky or not.

I have read several great threads about options for adding rear 3-point seatbelts to early Fj62s. I can feel the hole where the upper would be bolted but I do not know if there is a retaining nut. I have not found a definitive answer on how early Toyota started installing the nut. My FJ62 has a...

Found this FJ62 on eBay and love the seats. Do they look familiar to anyone? 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser | eBay

@4Cruisers - how did the relays and harnesses work out?
