    Secondary Barrel Not Opening

    Appreciate all of the helpful comments from everyone. FWIW, I did put an offset-arm new diaphragm on the carb, along with a new gasket. I tested the vacuum secondary before re-installing the carb and all was well. I've played with the "opening tab" once. I may need to bend the tab to open the...

    Secondary Barrel Not Opening

    Hello All, My 5/85 FJ60 wasn't idling well after a road trip. I ended up taking off the factory carb and rebuilding it via Pinhead's videos. Too my surprise, it looked as if the secondary barrel had not been used in years. The secondary diaphragm was torn and wouldn't hold vacuum. The power...

    Side Cover Gasket

    Great work. Not sure on the sealant questions. Following because I may do timing cover in the future myself.

    What is a good outdoor watch?

    +1 on the Seiko, mine has never let down and never needs to be charged!

    Side Cover Gasket

    Not sure if its the same on a 62, but the part numbers for the oil cooler and filter bracket gaskets were: 9043018012 (Copper Crush Washers, order 2) 9030121176 (Rubber O-Rings that fit behind oil cooler, order 2) 1569161010 (Oil filter gasket that mates oil filter bracket to block) Because...

    Side Cover Gasket

    Just replaced my side cover gasket 2 days ago. Moving the oil cooler hoses and rear heater hoses definitely makes the job easier, and of course, replace them if you have any doubt on their reliability (you're taking them off already). I also removed the oil cooler, replaced the two copper...

    Mechanic Recommendations

    Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! While I try to do most of my own work on the 60, there are some jobs I have been neglecting that are catching up with me. I need the following work done: Galley plug fix (my galley plug is moist, and a ticking time bomb at this point) Pushrod cover gasket Engine...

    Stereo Shuts Off w/ Cig Lighter

    I believe just the one under the driver's side, but I can't speak for the FJ62. The inline fuse I used look similar to this: This allowed me to completely bypass the fuse box.

    Stereo Shuts Off w/ Cig Lighter

    Unfortunately I did not figure this out. My "solution" has been to not use the cig lighter. The head unit will stay on as long as I don't use the cig lighter. It's odd because I see nothing connected to the cig plug. It sounds like your issue is concerned with a constant 12V. I ran a wire w/...

    Stereo Shuts Off w/ Cig Lighter

    Hi all, I just finished installing two 6.5" door speakers and two 6x9's in the rear powered by a 1600W amp and a new single din Pioneer headunit. Prior to this, the PO had installed an aftermarket headunit and it had a wire going to the taillight fuse (constant 12V) but I couldn't tell where...

    FJ60 Hood Insulator - Pricing

    I will say I've had decent experience getting parts from Lakeland. Their prices seem cheaper than other Toyota dealers, and with the exception of the insulator, have not had any other issues with them.

    FJ60 Hood Insulator - Pricing

    Just FYI, I tried to order the insulator from Lakeland Toyota last week, and they would not ship it. Said local pickup only, that the insulator is too fragile to ship...YMMV

    Jack and spare tire help

    The circular hook will slide straight into the slot/notch on the pully system, you can the rotate the hook which allows you to lower the tire. If you slip an extension on the end of that, the "L" shaped piece will go onto the end of the extension. The "L" should have a hole cut out of it which...

    Quick ABV Assembly Question

    Excellent, great picture of what I’m referencing. I will try to tear it apart, then JB weld that piece back in. That should take care of the hiss. Thanks for the push in the right direction... M

    Quick ABV Assembly Question

    Figured I bump this just once. I believe the 3-pronged elbow that I’m asking about sits on the side of the ACV, not ABV. Im inclined to believe that it should not be leaking air, but I have a small paranoia that it should be, and if I ran some type of sealent around it I’d blow a...

    Quick ABV Assembly Question

    Today I replaced all of the vacuum hoses I could find in my engine bay. Vacuum before was 14” Hg at 8500’ elevation, which I understand I should be happy with. Replacing all of the hoses yielded almost no change in vacuum. If anything it may be a 0.5-1” lower. I never heard any vacuum leaks...

    Wheel Mistake - What Now?

    Well as promised attached are before and after pictures. Ended up having to use 1.25” lug centric spacers from All Pro Off-road. Tires are 31x10.5x15 BFG AT’s. I was never a fan of too wide a stance but the look is starting to grow on me. I don’t think it’s too wide, but I wouldnt go any wider...

    Replacing thermostat

    I believe that is a BVSV (bi-metal vacuum switching valve) used in the smog system. EDIT: See post below, I was wrong!

    Rough Idle After Timing Adjust (Solved)

    Thank you all so much for the assistance. I was using the timing gun incorrectly, and was indeed setting the timing to 14* advanced. I re-timed it, correctly this time, and then added the vacuum lines. Total timing advance increased to what looked like 13-14* based on my timing gun dial. This...

    Rough Idle After Timing Adjust (Solved)

    Hello all, I am doing a little tune-up on my FJ60. There’s been a few things that the PO had done incorrectly, so I figured I better check the timing. The 60 has a really hard time starting when cold. Had to pump the accelerator pedal multiple times and the whole starting process takes 5mins...
