    Warning Light Issues

    My brake and filter warning lights came on the other day (85 BJ 60, 3B). They came on at low idle, then seemed to dissapear after RPM was up for a while. My thought was it was the alternator. I tried to eliminate other possible causes first; drained the sedimentor, checked vaccum, checked...

    Startup Woes?

    My 85 BJ 60 has been acting up lately at startup. She fires up fine then shuts down after 10-15 seconds. I hear a click coming from the passenger side fire wall and then the engine stops; i fire it up again and it runs fine. Any ideas????

    Clutch Woes ????

    So im not sure if this is the right place to post, but since the truck is an 85 BJ60 - 3B it might be appropriate. I have been losing clutch fluid; top up maybe once a week. Checked for leaks and could not find any. Over the last couple of days i have noticed the clutch pedal feels different and...

    Strange Temp Readings?

    So my 85 BJ 60 has been reading some strange temps for a while now. I pressure tested the system a month ago and found that the water pump was leaking so i installed a new one from Toyota; while i was at it i installed a new thermostat (part # 90916-03103) and rad cap (13lb). I flushed the...

    Loosing Coolant?

    I have been having to top up my coolant every couple of weeks for some time now (85 bj60 450000KM). I have checked the hoses and any other areas that seem feasible for a leak to occur, but have found nothing. I'm hoping i have a small pin hole leak somewhere, and its not the head. Can anyone...

    Temp Gauge - Overheating?

    The other day i noticed my temp gauge getting close to red lining. Pulled over, felt the rad (wasn't too hot), and waited a few minutes. Fired her up (85 BJ 60 - 3b) and operating temp was normal. I was thinking my thermostat was going, so i replaced it. I drove around and the operating temp was...

    Tire/rim help please

    One of my tires recently exploded so i have decided to replace all 4 (it was time). I am running the 30"x 9.5" R15 BFG A.T. Went to the local shop to p/u some tires (31"x10.5) and they told me my rims are too small. I've searched the forum looking for altenatives (i.e., 4runner rims) but had no...

    Starting - Strange Sound

    Tough Cranking - Starter? I just started getting a strange sound at start up. It is a high pitched kind of squeal that only occurs for a couple of seconds at start up. I cant figure it out, not sure if its a hose with a leak sucking air, or if it has something to do with the starter; its sounds...
