My gauge is not presenting like that, but good to watch out for.
I am in the Cap Hill area. I have an fj60 87... I am new to the world of working on cars but have repaired a lot and learned a lot.
Thanks all,
I did recently fill up the truck with a full tank, however, the temperature gauge did go up gradually, and then went back down slowly and stayed at halfway once off the highway. I drove it again today for about 20 min on the highway and the temp gauge sat at about 1/3 of the way up...
Hey all,
Two days ago I did about a 40 min drive (30 min highway) in my 87 FJ60. The outside temp was like 35 F. The highway drive was at like 50-60 MPH. About five minutes from my exit on the highway I saw the Temp gauge was barely below (I mean barely) the RED H. The car seemed to be driving...
Problem: The gas gauge reads empty after driving for a couple of miles. When I fill it up it reads full and then as the day goes on it drops to nothing. I went back there and took apart the sender and other than some serious rusty bolts the unit was intact. However, the coil of wires in the...
not too long ago I had it checked out at Japanese Auto Shop here in Denver (known to be good with '60s) to replace the berfs, and I had them check out the whole rig. They never mentioned belt problems (but a possibility).
It never presented as an alternator problem. On longer drives, it sat at...
Hey all, I have been wrestling with this issue for almost 4 months. I will walk you through it to the best of my ability...
4 months ago:
After trying to start the car one morning I turned the key and nothing happened. After jumping the car/trickle charging it I got it running. Died later that...
Hey all,
The suspension on my Fj60 is shot. I have heard nothing but great things about OME. When I took the cruiser in for some work the shop said they could do an OME lift for $3,000. Knowing the parts typically run from $1,500-2,000 I figured I would save some dough and do it myself. I know...
Hey all,
Here is the situation... The gas gauge 99% of the time is all the way at the bottom regardless of where the gas level is actually at. When I fill up the tank it shows that it is full. After driving for 15-30 min the fuel gauge drops all the way to the bottom again. Also, if I drive...
Hey all,
This was never a problem or even showed the potential to be a problem, but I went to open the lower part of my trunk (the bit without the window) and the lever worked and the trunk door moved an inch but is stuck. It seems something is a bit sticky or the lever stopped working all of a...
Hey all,
So my emergency brake "works". I have parked on slants and other mild grades. However, the other day I parked in a pretty steep space and put the brake in, and it started sliding a bit. I put it in gear and all was good. This wasn't a problem until recently, very rarely I will start...
Hey,
I am looking for some side mirrors for my Fj60. Currently, I have some small black ones (see pic). I have seen the larger silver ones (Toyota Murakami 1881) that look really nice. Any ideas where to get these or something similar?
Thanks
One problem solved... The emergency light kept flickering on because the carpet had been jammed between the brake and the metal pad at the bottom of the brake handle. Cut out the extra carpet and the light stayed off.
Made some progress on the Cigarette lighter: A 15A fuse was missing so I put...
Yes 1987 Fj60.
Gotcha, I was just in the fuse box the other day and checked all of them. They were all intact. However, I will check to make sure that the slot is getting power.
