    FJ60 A/C?

    Hello everyone! I have a couple questions regarding my A/C. I drive an '87 FJ60 and live in Phoenix, AZ, which is unbearably hot. Everything "works" fine (it is 35 year old A/C at the end of the day). The air coming out of the vents is cool-ish but by the time it reaches me, it is hot with not...

    Best Repair Shop for Land Cruisers in Phoenix, AZ?

    Howdy y'all. I took my rig hunting early this morning and it performed better than I was expecting! I went wheeling afterwards, and when I put it into 4L, a harsh grinding sound came from the front end. Sounds like there is a bag of rocks in the transfer case or front pumpkin? Regardless, I was...

    Bolts on Bottom Thermostat Housing?

    I have an 87 FJ60. I am redoing my cooling system and discovered an issue. Does anyone know what these are/what they do? I had my engine rebuilt where the shop broke them and instead of fixing them they just plugged them. It appears to be part of the vacuum system but I do not understand why...

    FJ60 Coolant

    I have an 87 FJ60. I am currently replacing my radiator, thermostat, fan clutch and water pump. I have been running O'Riellys green coolant for the past few years. That being said, I have had overheating issues since. I was planning on switching to a better coolant. I have read on MUD about...

    Overheating Issues

    Thank you all for the replies! I will not be removing the thermostat! I am going to order a 180 and external gauge, as well as flush the system. As far as radiators go, my current one has sprung a leak since my last post. Should I replace with another brass one, have the current one redone, or...
