Just bought a 2024 Tundra CREWMAX 3.4 v6 (non hybrid). My 1st work on it was to install power running boards. It's a bit of a step up and especially for my 5'4" wife. Also I've read some problems with the plastic trim on the lower left drivers side seat failing where it clips in. The...
I recently repaired an inoperable rear push button lock at the rear hatch of my FJ60. The reason it was not working was because the snap ring at the back was working loose from the lock housing (toyota calls this the "cylinder"). The snap ring holds the rear linkage in place, the rear linkage...
I need a rear hatch lock cylinder from an FJ60. The snap ring on mine is not holding on because the tabs at the back of the cylinder housing where the snap ring fits....are bent up. No key necessary. Doesn't even matter if the push button part is mangled. Just need the cylinder and a good...
My a/c fan blower died. Water on the passenger side floor board. Motor plug and the drain tube from the blower housing were wet. Verified the fan switch turns on 12v at the plug on the side of the blower. I guess the contacts in the fan are corroded but I haven't taken it apart yet. It's...
My 1987 60 is pretty much stock as far as the brake components. AND....I've got a weak brakes. They just don't grab but slowly stop. Unable to get them to lock up. After bleeding all the wheel cylinders/calipers, nothing changed. I tested for vacuum with a mighty vac at the booster and it's...
I've had to run a screw through some of these after they broke. They are plastic corner connector tee pieces on my roof rack. They reside inside the corner chrome piece and the crossbar where it ties into it. I was unable to remove the part that is in the crossbar. I tried prying with a...
FYI...IH8MUD has invaluable factory service manuals also known as FSMs saved in the "Resources" section. I say this because it is not very evident and I think many don't know they are there.
Click on Resources at the task bar at top of page. Drill down, Toyota, then Land Cruiser, then 60...
driving on the highway and the engine dies. No spark at the #1 plug wire. Towed back home. With the key in the ON position i have grounded a test light lead and the test light shows power to the coil on one post. Switch the test light to the other post (the one that gets signal wire from the...
My 2f is bogging down badly while accelerating in second. It only did it 2 times. Coming out of a turn (like turning out onto a main road), shift to 2nd and hard on the accelerator, suddenly bogs down hard like no gas, It almost stalls and I get off the accelerator pedal then back on to...
Planning to pull and overhaul the distributor on my 87 fj60. I've already replaced the cap and rotor. I have the packing/dust seal oring and the lower o-ring on order. Mcgeorge toyota shows the signal generator 19250, the advancer 19220, and the pole piece assembly aka rotor 19181 all as...
I thought it was just me, my order in limbo. After 8 days and the status still "processing", I started making calls. Two days later I received a vague form letter formatted type email basically stating that my order was either NLA or back ordered with no ETA date and they were voiding my...
I've been here before but it's been a while. Need to replace the egr pipe. I think the easiest way is to take the cooler and pipe out and replace it while the cooler is in a vice on the bench. I need to remove EGR cooler and replace the EGR pipe with a SS SOR pipe. There isn't much room to...
There are more than a few vendors in the mud vendors list at the top tool bar that supply 60 series parts. But many of them don't or only supply very few items to 60's series.
I thought I would start a thread that shows where 60's series owners source their parts. Feel free to add a company...
I broke the nipple on my bvsv (1) while removing the vacuum piping during an intake/exhaust manifold overhaul. while I'm waiting for my new bvsv to arrive, I'm wondering which way to rig it. Looks like the primary purpose of the bvsv 1 is to open up the egr valve when things heat up. So...
I helped a fellow mudder install OME springs and shackles this weekend. I noticed the shackle mounts were almost and inch skinnier than the OME shackles. The bushing sticking out prob 3/8 of and inch on either side. I'm a 60 guy and not to familiar with 40 series. They looked oem but I...
My alternator just died....or maybe just the VR ...anyway it's not stock and I'd rather go back to a more reliable stock toyota 55a alternator for my 1987 FJ60.
I will be building a stick built 12x20 shed and need a framing nailer. I realize 21 degree allows full round head nails, and 30 deg offers better angles to get between studs but uses clipped nails. What is the best for my job? I'm leaning toward pneumatic because I already have the...
