    Fuel Pump Location?

    So a buddy of mine has an ‘88 FJ62 and wanted to do the “fuel pump access door” mod but when he opened it up the fuel pump wasn’t located where he thought it was. Everything he looked up says it should be there for his year/model. Anyone have any ideas? He doesn’t want to cut anymore until he...

    Starter Issue?

    I have a 1985 FJ60. Replaced the starter about 2 years ago. So The other day I was out and about and accidentally stalled it. I started it right back up and drove about 40 ft and the engine just stalled. Rolled to a stop and it wouldn’t restart. Starter would try but wouldn’t turn the...

    Power Steering Suggestions

    I have a 1985 FJ60. It had the original PS pump but it was leaking really bad. I did some research and replaced it with a Saginaw pump. I used a bunch of washers and bolts to shim it out and get it mounted straight. I had to use my old pulley and bore it out to the correct shaft size (not...

    Brake Pressure Issue

    I just completed a front axle rebuild on my 1985 FJ60. I replaced the front brake lines, calipers and pads. I bled the entire system starting at the drums in the rear and then the front. The problem is that while driving, when I depress the pedal slowly I don’t have much brake pressure until...

    FJ 60 front axle breakdown

    I am rebuilding the front axle knuckles on my 1985 FJ60. I’m about ready to start reassembly but I can’t figure out how to remove the long side of the axle from the axle housing. The short side slid right out. I am making sure that the flat spots are in the right position. When I pull on the...

    Replacement Shocks OME 2” Lift

    I own a 1985 FJ 60. I am rebuilding my front axle and while I have it out I figured I’d replace my front shocks (rears at a later date). I have the 2” OME lift. I’m wondering if anyone has any opinions about shock brands/models. I don’t want to spend an arm and a leg but want something...

    FJ60 Alternator Wires

    I am replacing my stock FJ60 alternator with a “one-wire” unit from Quality Power rated at 140 amps. With the power increase I want to replace most of my main electrical wires under the hood. I have an Optima battery and am running 2 car audio amps off of it. I plan to add LED off-road...

    FJ60 Exhaust Flange Bolts

    I replaced my flange gasket and closed up my exhaust leak. The bolts were looking pretty rough so I picked up some new ones from ACE hardware (I’m guessing it may be a softer metal than OEM though). It’ll be good for a couple of days and then the bolts are gradually loosening and my leak comes...

    FJ60 Saginaw Conversion PS Pulley Question

    My stock PS pump was leaking everywhere so I pulled it and bought a Saginaw because most everyone was raving about them. I don’t want to spend $150 on a bracket so was trying to rig up mounting but now realize that I’ll need to make a bar adapter on the outboard side to get the pump low enough...

    The Life and Times of a 1984 FJ60

    My 1984 FJ60 joined the family about a year ago and I’ve been slowly fixing her up, working out the bugs and upgrading since then. I figured I’d start a thread about the transformation of my Cruiser for those that are interested and to share ideas and get advice. I have received so much...

    Carb Replacement Recommendations

    My 1984 FJ60 is only running at full choke. In another thread everyone recommended checking for a major vacuum leak. I couldn’t figure it out to left it to the professionals at the shop. They’re diagnoses is the carb is shot. Said it is leaking internally and even showed me where it was...

    FJ60 only runs at full choke.

    I have a 1984 FJ60. It ran good but had a pretty good exhaust leak so I decided to replace my exhaust manifold gasket. I got it all back together after a couple of weeks and fired it up. It will only run at full choke now. I’m about ready to just take it to the shop but thought I’d post on...

    FJ60 Won’t Crank Advice

    i have a 1984 FJ60. I did some exhaust manifold maintenance and it was down for about 3 weeks. When I went to start it again it started normally but I had some carb issues to deal with so it was down for another few days. Tried to restart again and this time my starter really sounded like it...

    Carburetor Question? What part is this?

    I have a 1984 FJ60. Pulled the carb to do some manifold work and when I was about to reinstall it this little pin fell out. Does anyone know what this is and where it goes? Thanks.

    FJ60 Headers Conversion

    I own a 1985 FJ60. I purchased it just this year so I am still learning a lot about the vehicle. I have the infamous exhaust leak at the manifold. It started out small but I feel like it is getting worse. I planned on picking up a set of headers because I’ve heard that many time the manifold...

    AC Compressor Valve Issue

    I have a 1984 FJ60 and I am trying to get the air conditioning working. My questions is pretty simple. The vehicle was previously converted to 134a and has the quick disconnect fittings installed on the compressor. I removed them to purge the system and I noticed that on the high side the...
