    Taking my 60 for a good long drive

    "Unfortunately nothing goes according to plan in Latin America. The plan is more like a rough outline of what might happen." I am not certain that it is "unfortunate", but your observation is certainly an understatement. Martin, Chiriqui Highlands, Panama

    Good HZJ mechanic in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama etc.?!

    HZJ75 repairs, Central America Hi Blade, So you are at Belize - I have only heard good reports. Fortunately your repair needs are not dire. The entry visa for Panama is now good for 6 months, but you can only drive for 90 days. They forgot to change that part - go figure. The last time I did...

    12H-T performance Build

    gbentink, I gotta say - It has not at all occurred to me to soup up my 12H-T. "1HD-T oil squirters" - Was this a direct bolt up? I doubt that it's necessary the way I drive, but it might be some added insurance. My 12H-T is in a rust free (former) California 1986 FJ 60. The 5 speed went in...

    FJ60 Price

    For one thing, if you are asking the question then that means you are unsure. That means (probably) that you want the rig but a (smarter) part of you is saying NO NO NO...... Like all auto's, Landcruisers are comprised of three items: Body, Mechanical/Electrical, and Interior. If any component...

    Windscreen Washer Pump 1986 FJ60

    Live to Ski, Well, now that you mention it + I've ordered a replacement from Cruiser Dan - nothing to lose by taking the thing apart and seeing what's what. Maybe it'll resuming working and I'll have a spare.

    Windscreen Washer Pump 1986 FJ60

    slcfj62, My 1986 FJ 60 has a 12H-T / 5 spd. installed. During the change over we (myself and a young mechanic working off hours) replaced or serviced about everything that moved from front to rear and side to side. In addition to the washer pump failure, the reservoir plastic is also degraded...

    Windscreen Washer Pump 1986 FJ60

    Thank you 2mbb, The only manual I currently have is for the HJ Series Diesel (Gary at Mudraks if you need one) as this Cruiser has a 12H-T installed. Interestingly, the HJ Series manual makes no mention of a windscreen washer and does not contain your furnished diagram.

    Windscreen Washer Pump 1986 FJ60

    My OEM windscreen washer pump has given up the ghost. Went to local Toyota dealer - $72 for a new pump. I have the washer container out of the truck with pump attached. It is not clear to me how to pop the old pump off and replace. Parts guy at the dealer's said $72 is for pump only, no...

    Airbag Sensor Module issues...

    Sorry 'bout that...... Sorry for the airbag light problem. I have the same situation on my '94 Volvo 940. On the other hand it does serve to remind me why it is that I bought a 1986 FJ60 and then installed a 12H-T & 5 spd. Just being stubborn and cheap I've done nothing about the "SRS" problem...

    **H diesel turbo??

    I put a 12H-T into a 1986 FJ60 with factory (H55F) 5 speed. This setup works very well and was a common option outside the U.S. The 2H was not designed for a turbo and does not have the piston skirt cooling that the 12H-T has. The 6 cylinder 12H-T will be less rattle and shake than a 4 cylinder...

    CA DMV problem (sigh)

    CA DMV Diesel Problem? Might do this ..... The "Codes" are written for "Vehicles", a word of art meaning "engaged in commerce or in government service". When you register something you are turning over ownership. The "license plate" is their number for their "vehicle". Your "Drivers License"...

    The best engine swap? The ultimate Question!

    Engine Swap, '91 LC; Convert to 5 spd ? Hi livelarg, I just finished a swap of a Toyota 12HT w/5 spd into an '86 FJ60. This was an expensive, time consuming, and ultra enjoyable job ! The sound and rumble of the 12HT, the unstoppable torque, and the simplicity / reliability of this diesel...

    HJ61 into FJ60 conversion

    FJ60 Ignition Switch: Yes, the existing ignition switch works fine. I am doing finishing touches on this swap (12HT / 5 spd.) into a 1986 FJ60. I had to switch everything from 24V to 12V: Starter, Alternator, oil and temp senders and probably some other stuff that I've forgotten about. You...

    Where to get parts for a FJ to 2H swap?......

    2H install - motor mounts... This is how we installed a 12HT into a 1986 FJ60; cut off original 2F motor mount brackets from the frame, ground smooth and primed/painted. Put Diesel motor mounts on the 12HT with frame brackets attached and set onto rear (transmission) mount while suspending the...

    24V diesel tach with 12V 12HT install ??

    This is into a 12 Volt 1986 FJ60, U.S. model. 2F & 4 spd is out and 12HT with 5 spd is in - runs great !. Just replaced the oil pressure sending unit and water temp sending unit with 12V because the original (12V) gauges were not responding well (reading too low) with 24V senders. . All the...

    24V diesel tach with 12V 12HT install ??

    Thanks in2cruiser - for the electrical portion of this 12HT / FJ60 install I took the job to a bona fide "Auto Electrician" - he is studying the Tach problem, and did a very nice job on the batteries (dual), a toggle switch for the glow screen, the wasted side markers, and the gauge senders...

    24V diesel tach with 12V 12HT install ??

    Lots of good information here....... One more: I understand that that the diesel tach operates from the Hall Effect, where a sensor in the bellhousing reacts to the flywheel teeth going around and indicates RPM on the tach. Simple and rugged. Question: What happens when you put a 12HT into an...
