I found a super cheap carburetor for $78 on amazon that says it is compatible with a 2F 4.2L 1969-1987. My gut tells me this is way to good to be true but the reviews so far on Amazon (all 6 of them lol) are fairly positive.
Here is the link to the carburetor ...
1) Is it any good?
2) Will...
Hello,
I have a 1985 FJ60 (built in October) that I would like to put an H55F in this summer and just have a couple of general questions:
1) My FJ was built in October of 1985, so the H55F installation will be fairly straight forward right and I will not need to make a lot of modifications...
Hello everyone,
I am looking to do an H55f upgrade in my FJ60. The FJ came from CA and previously passed smog before I bought it. Is there anything I need to consider regarding CA smog rules when I go to put the 5 speed in? I am not doing an engine swap just yet, just the transmission. I...
I am considering buying a 1986 FJ62 from Landcruiser Restorations out of Belle Plaine, Kansas and need a little advice:
1) Has anyone heard of Landcruiser Restorations? Do they have a good reputation?
2) Someone cautioned me to stay away from South American imported FJs because it is hard to...
Can I put an LS1 (can’t afford a brand new LS3 right now) with an H55 into a 1985 FJ60 and pass CA emissions? I am seeing a lot of threads for a vortec but not much for an LS1.

Does anyone know the thread pitch size and size die I should get to fix the threads on the end of my crank shaft? I think the thread pitch is about 1.5 mm and the diameter of the crank nose is about 13/16” (20.6 mm) but idk what for size to buy.
In the middle of replacing my harmonic balancer and the threads on the crank-pulley/harmonic balancer nut (the giant one that fits on the end of the crankshaft) is stripped and I cannot find a replacement anywhere!
If anyone has one in decent shape they are willing to sell, that would be a...
Hello,
Is it possible to upgrade a 1985 FJ60 with a GM E-Rod LS3 6.2L aluminum block V8 and an H55, and pass California smog? What are the do’s and don’ts? I think ICON has had some luck with this. I know the smog tests are ref specific, but what are some of the common things they could not...
Does anyone know of any Cruiser mechanics in or near Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois. I’ve already looked at the thread that has them listed by state and did not find any near Ohio that are still in business. Thanks for your help!

Looking to buy a 1985 FJ60 with 80K miles. How much should it cost to upgrade the 4 speed transmission to a 5 speed? I will be putting ALOT of highway miles on this truck.

Hello everyone,
Getting ready to buy a 1985 Royal Blue FJ60 and need some advice. It's a 4 speed with about 80K on it and I am looking to make it a long distance machine. I realize these things are terrible on gas, but I will be using it as a daily (highway) driver and be using it for long...
