I have a set of 5-pin SPDT relays for anyone willing to pay postage. I bought these back in 2022 for this mod, but on the advise of LA Z I decided to go with a smaller relay. Perhaps @LA Z can confirm that these will work if you are willing to use this slightly larger version (actual size =...

Just an update: The local (highly recommended) glass shop in the city where my paint job was done tried to convince me that sealant wasn't needed. I know the installer did use sealant because I had to remove all the fingerprints and smears afterward. I had purchased new rubber and chrome...

FYI @fraserb ...this was probably the best mod that's been done to my truck. The locks snap to attention and the windows roll up and down like a modern car...all operating with the original motors. There is certainly a way to preserve the operation of the factory lock switch. In my case I had...

Post #120 mentions that the original "brown" solenoid keeps in in 2WD, so if you've confirmed you are really stuck in 4WD (test method per original post #1) then check that solenoid and/or possible leaks in tubing. I posted how to bench test the solenoid on post #162, but maybe you can do this...

Whoops...I thought the above post was in the thread "What did I do with my 60 this weekend". My apologies to the OP from San Diego for goofing up his post. I deleted this and will repost later in the right place.. To the OP: Parting it out can be consider a noble sacrifice so that others...

Hi Spike. No, I don't have sets for the pre 1988 60-series. I'm not really a sticker salesman, but enjoy doing detail work like this to wind down after a hard day. It all started when I noticed that I didn't have the original glove box decals. Later I had Kelly Saad paint my truck and I...

Hi @majdomo and @Spike Strip I'm not sure if you are trying to help me with my original request for a 1990 CA or FED emissions sticker photos (with dimensions in mm), or just curious about the actually emission control equipment differences between a CA and FED truck. I still don't have good...

No...in the Sangre de Cristo's about 50 miles to the east. I worked in Ventura...small world.

Looks nice...I guess I did the same almost a year ago and it still looks like new. I know most folks already know how to paint, but I went ahead and posted a step-by-step for those that are interested in this fix. It was impossible to find a replacement handle in good condition...

I drove up the mountain to set out some trail cams and deer blocks in the woods. While I was hiking it stormed and dumped an inch of mushy hail on my truck. Turned out it was a good time to test my lift-gate window defroster and wipers. Both work and I should thank ToyotaMatt for the wiper...

Bump...Repost March 6th, 2023 New: Fuse box sticker $2.50 includes postage to US destinations. Not pre-cut like the sticker sheets, but 30 seconds and scissors did it for me! I now have available a limited run (six) of the FJ62 1988 and (five) 1989 model-year sticker sheets for the amazing...

Hi NearJetties...I was away from the house and just saw your post. Sorry for the late reply. I do have the hardware, but I had a drawing I used to make the part which might be better. I made a 1" and 2" tall spacer, but the guys that installed the LSPV seemed to like the shorter spacer...

Wise choice.

Working on my brakes: Rebuilt my LSPV spring arm and dolled up the brackets ready for the new LSPV valve. I got a 2" spacer ready to accommodate the OME 2" lift, but just in case it isn't really a full 2" I have a 1" spacer as a back-up. In the meantime Meineke is installing the new...
