    84 FJ60 Ignition coil resistance… don’t make em like they used to?

    Hello. Recently I got the notion to check the primary and secondary resistance of the ignition coil on my 1984 FJ60. It was out of spec. So, I ordered a new one. But when I checked this new coil’s resistance, I found it too was not in spec. It’s an Intermotor coil… nothing fancy but surely it...

    Electrical connectors for OEM FJ60 radio

    Hi, I’ve finally tracked down an OEM radio for my ‘84 FJ60. Unfortunately, the PO redid the wiring to install a modern stereo, so I’m missing the electrical connectors to fit the original radio. Anyone know where I could find these? TIA!

    Tool for coolant block drain on FJ60?

    Any advice on a tool to crack the block drain bolt to flush the coolant on a 2F? This seems like a pretty good option. A couple years ago, I did a halfway job with a coolant refresh because I couldn't get that little square 13mm drain bolt loose with a puny box wrench. I picked up a six-point...

    Sagging wipers - FJ60

    Hi, I’ve got an ‘84 FJ60. The wipers always end up sagging below the trim on the windshield (see photo). I’ve tried repositioning them on the splines but that doesn’t change things. My first guess is that it’s time to replace the wiper motor but wanted to see what everyone thought before I spent...

    Sticky hand-crank windows - 1984 FJ60

    Hi all. My hand-crank windows on my ‘84 FJ60 are pretty hard to operate, especially the driver’s window. It’s a great workout, but I’m actually going for tone, not bulk, right now. So I’d like to fix it. My hunch is the window felts should be replaced (see photo). Should I keep an eye out for...

    Idle speed for 2F w/ Weber

    Hi folks. I’ve been gradually getting my desmogged FJ60’s Weber carb jetted after living with a vacuum leak for too long. Here’s the question, briefly: What is the preferred idle speed for a 2F engine? There seem to be a range of answers out there. I’m not sure if the general Weber tuning spec...

    FJ60 clatter under low RPM load

    Might be a long shot to do this on the Internet, but curious if anyone has insight on what could cause this clattering noise my 2F engine makes. It happens at lower RPM, under load (climbing a steep hill). Happens in all gears. Thanks!

    Power steering pump options

    I’ve got a leaky, messy power steering pump on my FJ60. I watched a few videos and convinced myself it’s doable to DIY the replacement. Curious what you think of these options: Cheap: Remanufactured pump from Napa or similar. Reuse the existing reservoir. Medium: Pump and reservoir replacement...

    K&N filters for dummies (or beginners)

    Hi all. Seems like time to clean the K&N air filter on my Weber carb. This is a relatively new-to-me ‘84 FJ60, but doubtful that matters in this situation. Anyway. Honestly I’m just not sure how to remove the dang thing. PO gave me the cleaner spray so I’m ready to get it spruced up. Can anyone...

    Remanufactured starter install on FJ60

    My ‘84 FJ60 starter started not starting recently. Not a click, not a sound. Quiet like the night before Christmas. After some research I found that the old hit-it-with-a-hammer technique brought it back to life. But I didn’t want to carry around a hammer all the time. It seemed I either needed...

    How to chase a steering clunk

    Hey all. My ‘84 FJ60 makes a clunking noise when the wheel is turned to either side. Happens while stopped and while moving. Also occurs regardless of 2WD vs 4WD. It seems this is a fairly common issue. I’d love some guidance in how I should go about chasing this noise. For starters, this truck...

    Engine block coolant drain question #4528

    Okay I’ve been going through the archives on the forum, and I feel relatively sure I’ve found the drain for the engine block to do a coolant drain/flush. But all the photos I’ve seen look a slightly different. So I just wanted to be sure. This weird square bolt below the header that’s farthest...

    Variable spark plug conditions ... normal?

    Changed the spark plugs today on my ‘84 FJ60. It’s just one of many little things I’ve been doing in the last month or two since I bought it to know that you the details are taken care of. I notice that the plugs toward the front of the engine were running hot, while those at the back were...

    Oil change rookie mistake

    I changed the oil on my ‘84 Fj60 yesterday. Believe it or not, this is the first time I have ever changed the oil in any car. Not to pass the buck or anything but the Haynes manual neglected to say anything about replacing the drain plug crush washer (same in FSM, FWIW). So I reused the crush...

    Replacement side mirror recommendations?

    Both of the side mirrors on my ‘84 FJ60 broke off. I did a little searching and found these on EBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/283730297208 Any other recommendations before I order these? I don’t love the fact that they’re cheap reproductions but I also don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars...

    Help IDing aftermarket carb

    Howdy! Very excited to have just picked up my first Land Cruiser. Got an ‘84 FJ60. The previous, previous owner installed an aftermarket carburetor. Can you help me ID it so I can know what I’m working with and maybe get educated on how to tune it? Also of note: There is an empty hose that’s...
