Hi,
I'm moving to Austin this week and wanted to introduce myself. I have two cruisers: a 1988 62 with a 2H and a 1969 40 with a 2F. The wagon is my daily driver and I'll be driving it from NC to TX later this week. The 40 is at a friend's in MO, getting some fine tuning before I (hopefully)...
Does anyone know of a reputable mechanic or shop in eastern NC? I live in Fayetteville and have some clutch/transmission issues with my 62 series wagon with a 2H/H55F.
I just posted in the DieselTech forum what my issue is, but the bottom line is that all of a sudden I can't get the...
I have a 2H/H55F in a 12v, US spec 1988 J62 body. It's been my daily driver for about 7 years now.
The other day, about 5 miles into my 7 mile drive to work, I had a bit of trouble getting into gear. I could get into N, but it didn't want to go into 3 or 2. Eventually, it worked and I got to...
I've blown up the F in my 1968 FJ40. Transmission, T-case are good. Thinking about replacing with another F, if there are any available in the area. Or a 2F would likely work, as well.
Thanks.
Hi,
The PO sold me a PTO winch to go with my 1968 FJ40. Here are the pieces I have. I'm not sure what I'm missing and how it all goes together. Could anyone please point me in the right direction for more research or just tell me what I need and how it goes together. My web searches haven't...
My passenger window seems to have no trouble going down but often has issues going back up. I've taken the switches apart in the driver's and passenger's door, cleaned up the little bit of carbon, put it back together, and still no change.
What happens is that the window simply will not go up...
I have a weird problem with my door locks. It might actually be two different problems:
1. The button in the driver's door only intermittently works. Sometimes I hear the relay (?) click and there's no action at the doors, other times there's no click at all. The exception is that every time...
I picked up a used Safari snorkel that did not come with the alloy elbow or the expandable hose. The outer diameter of the lip on the snorkel itself is 3.25". I can't find an elbow anywhere that size. Does anyone have a suggestion? The space between the inner and outer fender walls is only about...
I have an FJ62 with a 2H and H55F. A few years ago, I had an oil pressure issue. I replaced the sender, the gauge, and the oil pressure relief valve.
Since then, upon starting, the oil pressure would be really high but eventually drop into the middle range as the engine warmed up. I attributed...
I'm in the process of buying a running, titled 1968 FJ40 that's located just outside Portland. Meanwhile, I'm in Leavenworth, KS. I need to get the car from Portland to either Seattle, where I have friends, or to Leavenworth. Timeline is somewhat flexible for either destination.
Is anyone...
Hi,
I've been in the KC area for about a year and will be here until May 2021. I have a 1988 FJ62 with a 2H/H55 conversion with round eyes.
I've replaced things, done maintenance, but not made any serious upgrades except for changing out the front and rear seats with those from a Land Rover...
I just need the nosecone/mounting bracket for a 2H that fits onto an H55F bellhousing. Voltage and condition of the starter doesn't matter. I have an old starter I'm going to get rebuilt but I had to cannibalize the nosecone from my old one for the new starter I installed. Thanks.
Selling an OEM (I think it was a dealer option, but check out the old Toyota logo stamped on it) chrome roof rack. It's in great shape, has the rubber protective shoes over the feet. It has all the bolts and they're all in perfect shape without any rust.
There is some minor pitting on the feet...
Receiver hitch from an FJ 62. Comes with hardware.
Rusty, paint is flaking off, but the thing is still solid.
I installed a bumper that has an integrated receiver so I no longer need this.
There's a Fastenal nearby I could deliver it for shipping.
I don't want to see it go to the dump.
For sale front seat covers (back and bottom) for a blue/gray US market FJ60/62. There is a tear on the edge, as seen in the picture. I think it's mendable, but I'm not a seamstress. I have already removed the cover from the seat. I can Oxyclean it but I haven't done that yet. It's in pretty good...
In the Kansas CIty, Kansas area (Leavenworth), I'm offering a single 15" trailer wheel with an unused Goodyear Marathon 225/75 R15 tire. It's a few years old (came with my wagon in 2015) but it looks good and has no dry rot. The wheel itself is clean and rust free.
Asking $15.
I have a 12v 2H in my American 62 series. I've had some intermittent starting issues (starter clicks but won't engage, but weirdly tapping the starter fixes it--BUT the starter tests fine every time on the bench). I have new batteries (wired parallel) coming in, but I also want to check if my...
I have a 62 with a 12v 2H. The 2H came from Canada and the 62 body is American. Torfab did the conversion years ago. Because it's a 12v, the starter and alternator are not original to the engine, but I couldn't tell you where they come from.
The issue I'm having quite frequently now but over...
I'm having some intermittent issues starting my wagon. Sometimes, I can't really tell when, although it's happened occasionally over years, when I turn the key, I hear a click but the starter doesn't engage. A couple of years ago I changed my batteries (it's a 12v system with the batteries...
