So, I live on Maui, but was in NC on New Year's Eve, when someone decided to throw a fountain type firework in my truck, burning the entire inside. She only had liability insurance, so there's no money coming to fix it. It was one of the last 62s made and overall, the truck was in fantastic...
I have a carport that can be tarped for a paint booth. I live in a desert, so it rarely rains. I have a sprayer and compressor. If I don't have it, I have access to it. Enjoy Raleigh. I'm trying to get home for Thanksgiving, but doubt I'll make it.
Mahalo!
I have a 90 FJ62 that has been on the IR and I'd like to get her back on the road. She needs a tune up, fluids changed, a general once over, some bodywork and a same color paint job. I've shopped around and can't really find anyone I trust at a reasonable rate, so I thought i'd throw this idea...
I've been extremely busy over the last six months and my truck has been sitting for quite a while. I couldn't get it started and realized that the fusible link was shot. So, I've replaced that (thanks North Country Land Cruisers) and she starts fine, but the wipers won't turn off unless I pull...
Aloha, all! John, I'm sorry to hear that you're having all of these issues, especially after having your head work done at a dealership. I read through all of this and some of it is confusing, so I'll just ask some questions and make some comments. I'm no mechanic, but unfortunately, I've had...
Booyah! I have been bummed for 2 years, since my locks abruptly stopped working. Just happened to see Pho's bump and did mine this afternoon. Had to clean the points, but all locks now pop as intended. I love this board...
Specter off road 818-882-1238. I called them and told them what I was trying to do and they literally cut every necessary part out of one of their donor trucks and sent it to me. We recently moved, so my receipts are in storage, but I believe it was around $1600. I then had to pay about $200...
My 90 62 was a California truck that didn't have air. I bought the parts from an 88 through Spectre. It came in two boxes and between the FSM, Haynes and Chilton manuals, I was able to install it in about three days. the under the dash stuff was more difficult than the under hood stuff.
I've recently started getting some hesitation in my truck. It happens at all speeds and especially uphill. Feels like it isn't getting fuel, then all of a sudden will burst, then hesitate, then burst again. If I stomp on it, it'll level out until I let off.

When I swapped my transmission, the Macnamara was out of my budget, too. Instead, I had my local welding shop weld the input gear, spacer and pto pulley welded together for $40. Well worth that little bit of coin, imo...

My wife and I are moving to Maui from NC and we're driving through on our way to CA. I've never been to NM and she's been twice. We can go to either place, but don't want to waste our time, as we are here for the night and will be headed on to Flagstaff, tomorrow. We are looking for decent...
