whilst doing a drain/fill of my 87 FJ60 Trans/TC I uhhh dropped a short piece of clear plastic tubing down the full hole of the trans. I had those damn squeeze quart valvoline gear oil bottles and the fill hole was in an awkward spot. I knew I had a pump thing in the garage, but I found a 3-4”...
How much slip yoke should I be seeing while parked level? I am hearing a slight gravely scratchy sound under power after adding some grease- this is up front. UJs seem solid. No play and no leaks anywhere. It’s about 3+ inches of cylinder.
How much capacity should I expect when i do a simple radiator drain/fill? I opened up the rad drain plug, opened the rad cap, and maybe got about 1.25gal of coolant total. Good news is, what came out didn't look all that bad. But when I went to refill some distilled water and run it until hot...
Pulled out my cigarette lighter from the dash since it hasn't worked in many years. Reviewed some search posts on cigarette problems, and one in particular mentioned blowing the 15A fuse (3rd down left side on schematic) this is assoc w/ Cig. The post described how the ignition switch may be a...
Quick help: where can I find the brake light switch on a 87 FJ60? Inside cab by the pedal somewheres'? Any pro advice to check or replace or mess with?
87 FJ60 license plate lighting isn't working. Took apart the assy, and the brass sockets seem ok on both sides, but the brackets they attach to are toasty. The green wire running through the tail gate seems okay too. One bulb looks shot, but the other seems fine. A 2007 thread mentioned that...
Buddy was following me on freeway and told me my passenger side brake light is out. The right side orange bulb (turn sig) works; the reverse indicator works, and the red (tail light) works, but not when I brake. The red rear side light on same side won't work when I turn on headlights either...
Looking for simple, easy GPS app for popular trails, forest roads, etc in CA. FunTreks for iOS looks like it would do the trick. $59.00 at Apple Store. Anyone have good/bad experiences w/ this app?
My horn wasn't working and after exhaustive wheel pulling and brass pin removal/replacement- it was the damned fuse the whole time. But in replacing original fuses from '87, will standard fuses you get at any parts store work, or have there been changes in auto fuses in 30 years? Is it good to...
Like many in CA, I struggled w/ smogging my 87 60. I had a shop install what apparently is an inexpensive but effective Universal Cat. I just purchased a new one-piece exhaust and stainless J pipe from SOR, and would like it installed. From some SOR pages I see that the OEM Cat has the bolt...
My 60 failed smog today w high CO2 (1.30 approx) and my timing came back off as well (13 btdc). Repair guy said sometimes timing issues can throw off carb/emission results. Is this accurate?
Is there a rubber cargo bed liner like what you see with thick, rubber floor mats? I'd love to find one that even covers full rear of truck with seats down.
I bought new BFG 33x10.50s for my FJ60 a couple months ago, but thought Id look for a used spare. That's a tough size to find used. Is there an equivalent size that will work as a spare? Would 285/75/16 serve as a good spare size? Will running an off-size tire create any damage?
Which battery should I get for a non daily driver FJ60 that gets out maybe 1-2x mo? Just stock, no additional lights or gadgets to power. Looking for reliability and starting power for stretches of non use.
Currently running 31x10.50 on my 87 FJ60. Replaced rear springs with ones from 1988 with an extra leaf in the pack. So I'm a touch higher in back. Front springs are stock/original. Does it look like 33s would be ok?
