    Over Heating?

    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...

    Gas Gauge Sending Unit 1987 FJ60

    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...

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...

    Purchasing and installing OME

    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...

    Fuel gauge drops to zero

    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...

    Trunk is stuck

    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...

    Emergency Brake sort of works

    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...

    Emergency Brake light won't stay off...

    Hey all, So I have read that the brake fluid may be low however, the problem I am having is a little different than what was described previously... So the light is on when the brake is engaged, and then I lower it all the way down and it turns off. I'll be driving and hit a little bump or the...

    Alternator problem?

    Hey all, I took my 87 fj60 for a drive yesterday. No problems starting, it was a 30 min drive, I parked and then went to grab food and came back (gone for about 20 min). I replaced the battery about two weeks ago so no problems there (the car was super dead one morning and a jump/trickle charge...

    Dots of antifreeze under hood of car

    Hey all, just bought a 1987 FJ60. I have driven it around no problem and the inspection before I purchased it was rock solid. The other day I was installing a washer fluid reservoir and noticed green specs all over. Looks like antifreeze. Any thoughts as to why this happened?
