Hey folks, I have a crate GM 6.2L going in my 62 and wondered what fluids folks use?
Should I use dexos coolant like my GM pickups or can I use anything?
What about PS fluid? GM or Toyota?
TIA!!!
Well, I’m embarrassed to say my project got shelved for nearly 3 years during covid but put the body on the frame for last time today and pulled out the body armor I had stored for a little inspiration. Is it blasphemy to have 3 different brands? lol
Looking for good 62 specific threads or input on what wiring I should keep vs delete from the wiring harness during my swap. Ideally detailed pics on what connections are needed/not needed since I failed to label upon removal.
I’ve been studying the FSM wiring diagrams trying to sort things...
Hey all, I'm planning on isolating all "new" power needs from my swap/upgraded FJ62 and am thinking about 2 separate bussman panels, 1 for constant draw needs and another for ACC/Switched needs.
Constant 12V is easy, but for the switched power box, should I use a relay or constant Solenoid or...
So I'm gonna have to get new drive shafts after swapping an L92/6L80e/80 axles. What's the best route?
Should I do double cardan for back shaft?
My front requires a small truck yoke due to the AA adaptor and normal 80 3rd member.
Are there good online options (Tom Wood is like $500) or just go...
Hey folks, sorry for the nube question here. I’m putting 80 axles on my 62 and would like to know what this hole is for and what goes here? It’s not the breather as there’s one on the side. TIA!
Hey folks, wanted to know my options here. I'm doing a swap and need to replace the line that goes from the compressor to the condenser (see below).
1. Is it possible to buy these prebent?
2. Should I just cut it off and use a compression fitting like this one? 14.5MM Tube to #10 Hose Straight...
For the life of me, I can’t figure out where to release this plug, really don’t want to break it.
All help appreciated

Hey guys, I’m putting 80 series axles and brakes on my 62. Was hoping someone could confirm which port from the master is front brakes vs rear? I have a 80 booster and master. Thanks!
Hey everyone, looking to delete this monstrosity of brake line routing from my 62
for the simple 60 series proportioning valve. Can someone confirm for me which port on the master goes to front axle vs rear? I’m dealing 80 axles so this is a 80 booster and master. TIA!
Hey guys, finishing up my xfer rebuild and cleaned up the rear xfer output flange to the driveshaft. It looked like it had a coat of black paint but as I cleaned it, it just pealed off. Will this end up rusting if I don’t paint or does it already have some kind of coating?
In middle of rebuild and have question about the roller bearings that go on the output shaft for the high and low gears. Do rebuild kits typically come with replacements? I can’t seem to find new ones with my kit. TIA!
So body is off frame and I was planning to do Lizard Skin but after examining the condition I can’t find any rust yet (sans light amount under body mounts).
anyone know if lizard skin can be applied over existing undercoat? Seems like a ton of unnecessary work to remove it. Or should I just...
Hey all, I thought I saved the thread and tried searching. Does anyone remember the link for the aftermarket rubber isolators from local auto parts store?
