    1988 FJ62 Window Motor Dead with Window Partly Open

    I did test that at one point and no life, but was a long time ago so may attempt that again. Odds are though it’s dead dead.

    1988 FJ62 Window Motor Dead with Window Partly Open

    I should say, I already have a Corolla window motor replacement on hand to swap in here. Just need to get it all out first!

    1988 FJ62 Window Motor Dead with Window Partly Open

    I’m not fussy or fancy but the ‘ole garbage bag window fix might need to be replaced by a better solution. I’ve searched and seen solutions for this if fully open, but haven’t come across one if the motor has died with the window open only 3-4 inches. Is there a way to easily get the window...

    1988 FJ62 Starter Install

    I didn’t refresh ground strap cable or any other connectors BUT I was under there inspecting it all, cables covered in grease, looking tired, so got a shopping list going. Near future plan is to replace all battery cables, get a fresh ground strap, grind down surfaces to get fresh metal for...

    1988 FJ62 Starter Install

    More fighting, rust chips, oil drips in eyes, mouth, face - and more choice words - but new starter is in! Charged up the battery, fired up right away like a champ! Sort of caught me off guard as old starter was quieter and deader, clinging to life. New one has got the dramatic spice, very...

    1988 FJ62 Starter Install

    It’s the big day. FJ has been parked since pre-covid but I’m bringing her back to life! To my amazement, she fired up after two starter chugs and idled like a champ despite blowing out settled rust and cobwebs. BUT she’s got a starter issue… sometimes she starts, sometimes she doesn’t. So...

    88 FJ62 CB Radio Install

    @TLCNorway - I actually bought the Firestik MK-204R mount and a Firestik flexi antenna but... when my package arrived the mount was missing, box was there, so haven't installed that yet! I spent like two months in eBay limbo and they sided with the seller! Oh well. I'll either buy another one of...

    88 FJ62 Painting Grill and Trim Black

    Still soggy out but had to see it slapped on asap. Not Bad! Will look better one day with matching black bumpers.

    88 FJ62 Painting Grill and Trim Black

    Hey thanks. While not perfect, I think it turned out as good as expected, maybe even a little better than expected tbh. I'll post some final pics of the beast with her new face on at some point. Can't wait to see it all together.

    88 FJ62 Painting Grill and Trim Black

    I think that just about does it. Even used my wife's nail polish for the white logo, truly fitting for this pavement princess. Side lights cleaned and repainted with fresh silver. All nice and clean now. Ready to bolt this face back on the Beast.

    88 FJ62 Painting Grill and Trim Black

    Yeah, I think I'm going to pop 'n Plastidip all the little pieces, and the wheels after I get some new tires mounted. First thing's first!

    88 FJ62 Painting Grill and Trim Black

    Spent a few hours sanding with paper, a soft sanding block and metal wool to get into hard spots. Called it good enough and proceeded to Tremclad primer them. Looks really good already. Will wait until tomo and sand out any problem areas. Tremclad flat black is next.

    88 FJ62 Painting Grill and Trim Black

    Yeah I've read about diy'ing with muriatic. I'm not sure I want to deal with having that around (kids/pets) as I have really no way of storing it properly. I wanted to pay a shop to take care of that! But no one was willing to do it with a guarantee it wouldn't nuke the plastic.

    88 FJ62 Painting Grill and Trim Black

    Hey all, on to the next to-do... my '88 62 has some peeling chrome and paint on the grill and misc trim, etc. Pretty common, several ways to deal with it. I've read through the forums and decided that because I'll eventually be revamping the interior, adding custom front back bumpers, etc...

    88 FJ62 CB Radio Install

    Hey all, first post, thought I'd share a simple, cheap 'n cheerful, non-destructive, under dash mount cb setup I just tossed in my '88 62. I've only had the beast for a few months and am slowly performing the many upgrades, fixes and add-ons as time and $ allows, and naturally installing a cb...
