    finally worth a pic or 2...

    well, here it is - the end of stage 1. the first pic is just after i bought it and the 2nd and 3rd are from today, after finally getting the rims and tires on (not to mention everything else that has been done). i'm running 33x12.5 and i can hardly feel a difference (so far) over the stock steel...

    Power door locks - wiring question

    Quick question on the wiring. At the door, before the connector, how many red wires should be joined/connected (before the connector)? I have a soldered joint that has 1 larger red wire and 4 smaller gauge wires before the red wire goes into the connector. I just replaced the master switch (with...

    Wanted  Gas filler neck - anyone??

    I know this should be in the 'Wanted' section, and it may get moved, but I wanted to get a quicker response here first, if possible. I'm looking for a perfect working condition (fully locking) gas filler neck for an FJ62 for an immediate inspection issue. Truck is not passing state inspection...

    Brake hose from JTO - incorrect, right???

    Boy, too bad I placed such a large order with JT Outfitters... I think more than half my entire order has been wrong, missing or needed to be returned. What a PITA. Current problem parts are the outer front brake hoses. See pics. Hoses seem to be way too long and the 'clip' portion on the...

    Wanted  WTB - 33x9.5x15 or 33x10.5x15

    Looking for a spare mud tire in the above sizes (possibly a 33x12.5x15). Needs to be in decent, usable condition. The closer to Maryland the better. Will consider most brands. Thanks.

    NGK plugs - can someone please confirm?

    i just received my 3rd package from JTO yesterday (finally received all items from a single order) and they have sent a single spark plug that doesn't match the other 5. they initially sent just 5 NGK plugs (BPR5EA-L, #7632), so they had to send a 6th in a separate package. the one that arrived...

    MAF Heckethorn or CCOT HFS shocks

    so, it's clear the shocks from JTO are going back and now it's a matter of who to buy from now. between the heckethorn nitro 9000s and the HFS shocks - who'd buy what? any good and/or bad experiences? thanks.

    Shock length question - new install help

    OK, since there seems to be more knowledge on this forum than from the vendors I've been speaking with, I'm going to ask this here. I'm currently dealing with JTO (reserving comment) and they convinced me that their KYB shocks would work fine with a 2.5" shackle. Here's the thing, I just removed...

    greasable bolt orientation in shackle

    i checked past threads, but no one referenced the orientation of the greasable bolts in the shackles. is there a preferred way to put the bolts in - fittings on the outside or inside? seems they may be better protected on the inside, but they'd also be more accessible on the outside. i'm...

    Source for A/C idler pulley

    I've checked several of the usual vendors and no one seems to sell the idler pulley for the A/C system. When I bought my 62, it didn't have that pulley. I wonder if the local parts store might have it? You should see what the A/C belt did to my lower rad hose (without the pulley in place). I'll...

    For those with Scion CD players...

    Just installed my Scion CD player yesterday and I'm very happy with everything except the volume. Was anyone else surprised that this stereo wasn't louder? I'm not looking for 'booming' sound, but it even seems low to me. Anybody put an amp on one of these things?

    Rock Crawler question

    Looking at a set of rims and tires for a 62 and I was curious if anybody was running a similar rim (and backspacing) on a 60/62 and whether there were any fitment issues. I have checked the 'wheel fitment' thread and did not see this rim listed. If there was a tie-rod clearance problem, a set of...

    cooling/rad hose question

    ok, my brain isn't functioing well at all today (too little to eat, i think), so i hope this isn't an obvious question. you can see from the pic below, i have an upper coolant hose that is 'sucking in' after the motor is turned off. i have a new 180° thermostat on the way, but could i have a...

    Parts, Dealers and Discounts

    I have a few items to buy for my 62 that are hard to find at the usual vendors - at least I haven't found them. I think I may have to go to a dealer for the bushings and links for the rear stabilizer bar on the 62. If I go to a dealer, is it common for any of them (I'm in the Maryland area) to...

    Question about shackle length (extended)

    Have a question about replacing stock shackles with extended shackles. I spent much of the morning looking through previous threads, but couldn't come up with the info I was looking for. I'm putting on a new rim/tire combination this week and I'm looking for just a small amount of lift (for...

    Opinions on 'high-mileage' oils...

    I've never tried any of these 'high-mileage' oils before, but I'm considering it with my next oil change. Rig has 186k miles (new to me - first oil change) and I was either going to change over to sythetic or try the Castrol GTX high-mileage stuff. Any positive feedback on high-mileage oils?

    Shopping tires

    Are there any other online tire houses that people use beyond, say, TireRack, Discount Tire or treadepot.com? So far, I have a very good price on Toyo Open Country A/T from treadepot.com, but I'm also looking at Yokohama Geolandars. On the Yokos, Discount Tire currently has the best price, based...

    Wanted  WTB - 32" or 31" A/T tires

    Anybody moving up in size and have decent 32x11.5x15 A/Ts for sale? Will consider many brands, but would like 50-75+% tread left. 31s are a possibility, but would prefer 32s. Thanks.

    Installing late model Toyota CD player in 62

    When installing a factory Toyota CD player in a 62, do I need anything more than the standard wires and antenna hookup? Is there a separate harness that connects (both ends) on the back for the CD to play? I get radio, but no CD. It says a CD is in, but it also show 'LOAD' on the screen (nothing...
