    FJ62: Whats behind the blank next to the HVAC?

    I haven't taken the dash apart yet. Do any of you have a pic of what is behind the blank? I want to mount a small gauge there if possible. I circled the spot on the picture. Thanks

    jump seat - solid installation location?

    I've read several postings that contain creative installations for jump seats. I like the idea of getting a folding seat that mounts to the side of the cargo area and has a swing out foot. I would also tolerate the installation directly to the floor (if there is room to work around the fuel...

    FJ62: Power and speed expectations. Can I really tow anything?

    I have 1500 miles on my rig now since I bought it a few months ago. It starts perfectly and appears to run fine. Doesn't consume oil. Gets about 11.9 mpg on the highway, and 10.5 mpg combined city/highway. 31" tires. On the freeway, the slightest grade puts a halt to acceleration and I can...

    FJ62: want to replace these center caps on my wheels

    Forgive my ignorance, I don't know the history of these wheels... whether they are typical upgrade for these trucks, if they have special fitment on the backside, etc. I'd like to replace the center caps since they appear to be rusty (not worth rechroming). Anyone have an idea where to get these?

    FJ62: is the OEM radiator repairable (solid brass)?

    I found a small puddle of coolant today, and a shop verified a pinhole in the center of the radiator. Definitely not a fitting or hose. Is the factory radiator repairable by a radiator shop (pickle, solder/weld the hole, pressure test, and paint)?

    What is the Toyota part number for the FJ62 positive battery terminal?

    I see several part numbers for sale, but can't figure out which one is correct for the positive battery post. Examples: 90982-06059 90982-05030 90982-06022 etc. Bonus if you can point me to a parts reference. Thanks

    FJ6: is there a factory fog light switch and harness provision?

    I'd like to put some additional exterior lighting on this thing. I'd prefer to use whatever existing wiring harness provisions exist, whatever slot exists in the fuse panel, and a factory switch put into a blank on my dash. Where do I start digging?

    FJ62: sloppy AT shifter

    Hi, I'm thinking that my shifter is partially broken. It works. It does make a positive gear selection. However, once in a gear, I can pull the handle rearward about 3/4" and rotate it about 10 degrees CCW, which causes the red selector to disappear. Its not a big deal, but I'd like to fix...

    FJ62: diff leak and transfer case leak

    After I park the car, I get a palm sized puddle under the rear diff and under the transfer case. They aren't continuous leaks, they dry up after a few days. What sort of repair am I looking at here, about how much should I expect to pay, and which shop local to me is trustworthy? Thanks Tim

    FJ62: have engine codes, need service procedures

    Hi, Looks like the FJ62 I just bought is turning out to be the sour lemon that I was hoping to avoid. In addition to a non-op AC, non-op power windows and locks, dripping diff & transfer case, I now have a check engine light with these codes. You may remember this quote from Apollo 13, "Is...

    A/C non-op: need help to locate all the switches

    Hi, My FJ62 has A/C that isn't working. AC Dash button: operational and illuminated AC fuse: good AC clutch: not engaging. The pigtail wire isn't delivering voltage to the clutch electromagnet. I need to know what other switches exist and where they're LOCATED in the system, so that I...

    why are both of my rear windows topping out with a 10mm gap?

    I bought an FJ62 today, sight unseen, on auction. Both of the rear windows appear to have been raised, leaving a 10mm open gap. Then, the previous owner put duct tape over the gap to keep the wind out. Both sides. Looking for some opinions on why both sides have the identical problem. Did...
