Have a 1989 FJ62 with 234k miles that is my daily driver. Hopped in this morning and turned the key and absolutely nothing. Gauges worked and battery was fine but no action under the hood. It's done this once or twice where I just turn the key a second time and then it works.
This morning I...
Installing aftermarket stereo. Old one was aftermarket and broke. I have every wire figured out except this one. Also, do I need to disconnect battery before connecting the power wire?
Went to get Rojo smogged today. See attached numbers. The emissions read outs passed but the "functional" test failed. Apparently when its driven under a loan for a while the check engine light comes on and stays on. Once you turn off the rig and start it back up, the CEL goes away.
So seems...
Preferably in freeborn red so it doesn't stand out (although I'm guessing it won't match perfectly with 30 years of wear and tear on the paint. Will paint my rig eventually but could be years from now. I am located in Costa Mesa, CA. Would be great if somebody local has one so I don't need to...
went to kids soccer practice this morning and truck was running fine. 1989 62. After the practice, started her up and the idle was all over the place and the check engine light was on. There was also a high squeal from one of the belts. Got home and pulled these codes 21-24-28-31. Looks like...

I just finished replacing drums, shoes, and wheel cylinders on both sides of my FJ62. Everything was great and I thought I was done, until I had my wife step on the brake pedal while the drum was off so I could make sure everything was working. I saw brake fluid leak out of the brand new wheel...
My wife somehow broke the seat belt. It won't wind back in. Need a replacement. Anybody got one laying around their garage? Shipping to 92627.
Thanks! Joe
so my 62 has had a high idles since I bought it in February. I've read all the posts and it sounded like it was the TPS that I needed to adjust. I bought a multi-meter a couple of weeks ago to do the job. Finally got the time this weekend to take apart the throttle body, clean it out, and...
I'm looking at buying a used pair on craigslist but the crossbars are only 50 inches. I have a feeling they might be too short and don't want to drive the distance to pick them up if that is the case. When I measured from gutter to gutter at the back of my FJ62, seemed to me the exact width was...
the code box thingy is pretty dirty and full of crud. Tried the paper clip to TE1 and E1 with key "off". Then turned on key and check engine light just kept flashing fast. Not break in flashing so couldn't read any codes. Then tried a wire thinking maybe the paper clip was the problem and got...
Bought my 62 about 4 months ago. Finally got around to switching out the spark plugs. Any diagnostic info I can get from these old plugs (see photo). As in, any idea how old they are? Also, it looks like two of them had some gunk buildup..does that mean those cylinders are running rich or...
Battery gauge jumps up and down when at stop light. Also does it when I hit the window switch. Is this normal? Loose wire? Alternator on way to grave yard? See videos.
mine broke into a million pieces after 30 years of wear and tear. Pump works fine and have a lid, just need the washer bottle. Aftermarket would do but seems they are just as expensive than Used OEM. Hopeful that some mudder out there has one laying around their garage. Shipping to 92627.
