This might be a noob question/observation, but what should I make of this wheel? I decided to rotate tires for the first time on this mostly garage queen pig which sadly has only had about 2000 concrete miles put on it since new tires were installed in 2018. the wheel pictured below was on the...
I’ve read a few posts here about leaf springs. Still haven’t quite figured it out however.
I have a bone stock 55 running 30x9.5x15 tires. this truck doesn’t see anything more exciting than a Texas gravel road. That tire seemed appropriate at the time when I needed to replace the 20 year old...
Let me know if more pics desired. Original front and rear bumpers from an FJ62. All the bolts and hooks are in the duct-taped bundle. I bought these from a Mud member but never installed. End caps are in decent condition, bumpers have no major dents as far as I can tell. Willing to ship if...

I have a friend interested in this but I’m no 100 expert.Mileage seems high given the 10.5k asking price. But ext and int look well cared for. Personally I would factor in a new engine and maybe trans but I haveno experience...
The leaf springs on my fj55 are in need of some love. Anyone have any experience w local spring shops doing re-arching? The leafs seem to be in good shape. And finding replacements is proving difficult. Google returns a place called atlas but that’s about it. Figured I would ask here. Hope...
I posted this back in january and got busy, never located a usable seat cover... figured i'd try again. looking just for the seat bottom cover for passenger seat in grey.
radio, hazards and tailgate window switch all stopped working suddenly today (and tailgate window switch at the key on the tailgate also stopped working). Worked on the way into work. Didn't work when I came out... Searching the forums here I'm having trouble finding anything specific. I had...
Taking out the SOR seat covers the PO had installed (maybe to clean, maybe to donate to a mud member), only to find out the passenger front seat was missing upholstery on the seat bottom... what are the chances anyone has this they are looking to get rid of? all the other seats are in decent...
PO had a new radiator core installed just prior to me purchasing a couple months ago. I was told it was full of 100% distilled water and to run it like that for 500 or so miles, then drain and fill with real coolant (got the toyota red, going to go 50/50). Sounds easy enough... but I cannot...
Was checking timing and maybe out of sheer curiosity, decided to uses the light and inductive clamp to see how each wire was firing... the blink pattern was all over the place on 2 of the wires. So I decided to replace plugs, wires, cap and rotor. I've only owned the truck for about 6 months so...
when i replace the fuel pressure regulator, should I also replace the fuel pressure pulsation damper near the rear of the engine? That part is still available from OEM and most of the threads I'm finding seem to have people replacing both. I popped the cap off mine, it looks brand new, the...
As I was helplessly trying to find where an oil leak was coming from, I discovered these 2 vacuum hoses, connected at the rear of the engine, but just hanging out (pic below). They were actually tucked under themselves. I've spent so much time studying this engine bay the past few months, no way...
Truck has about 275k+ miles on it. a440f in it was replaced last year with a rebuilt a440f by PO.
Took the truck to the mountains a few weeks back, on the climb up, trans temp light came on. Pulled over, left truck running and light went out within a few minutes. We were about 2 miles from...
Hoping someone has an inoperable power antenna they are willing to dissect and sell me the white plastic gear part. Mine broke near the top... the rectangular part that is held down by a C-clip. Unfortunately when that part breaks, you can't get the bell housing on right.
forgive my lack of mechanical abilities. this 62 has been a great learning experience for me so far. I haven't gotten into steering or suspension yet. but i started noticing a clunk from the front end so I did what all "clunk" threads on mud tell you to do.. go yank on everything down there and...
I think the list of things I want to do to this truck have resulted in many, many late nights reading these great forums and not a lot of effort on my part to keep track of what i read... Apologies for asking something I know has probably been covered multiple times.
anyway, have owned this...
looking for a clean FJ62 that will definitely pass smog in CA, maybe use as a daily driver. (I suppose I'd consider buying outside of CA but I've read some pretty strongly worded posts around here suggesting that if you live in CA, buy a CA truck...) I'm not interested in a project at the...
