Ever since I acquired my fj45, I've been dreaming about getting some custom, vintage style fabric / leather combination upholstery. At simplest, I am thinking something FJ60 style and at wildest maybe some sort of Pendleton wool fabric. I'm surprised there aren't more examples out there on the...
Hey, All. I have a custom Retro Sound stereo installed in my FJ45. I connect my iPhone to the radio using either a USB input or bluetooth. I'd love to have track skip (up and down) buttons wired in to avoid fiddling with my phone to skip tracks (spotify, podcasts, etc.).
Has anyone ever wired...
Didn't think much of it when I first got it, as it looked intentional, but the more I troubleshoot my vehicle the more I want to check every box. I bought this rotor new like two months ago. I've seen uncoated rotor tips and fully coated rotor tips, but never one that is partially coated like...
Hey all. Just found out about this group thanks to a fellow forum member. I live in Downtown Charleston, SC. My yellow, South American 1982 FJ45 has been parked for going on 5 months now. I had an abrupt case of near stalls one day when driving and ever since then it has either been no-start or...
Hey. I'm having a heck of a time finding a carburetor rebuild kit for my carburetor part number. I couldn't find anything other than a date code stamped on the carburetor, itself, but it did have a little bolt tag that shows 61012. It is an Aisan carb from a 1982 FJ45, South American.
I'm looking at ordering some dean wheels to replace those, currently, on my FJ45. My current wheels are 108mm bore, 15x7, -6mm offset and 3.75in backspacing. Of these two wheel sizes, the -5 offset would be ideal ( I a.so like skinnier wheels), but I worry about it clearing the 106.2mm bore...
Hey, Everyone. I'm looking for advice on where to look next, troubleshooting my FJ45 no start problem. The truck is a 1982 and has its original 2F engine.
For background...
- Ever since I acquired the truck, I have had to pump the gas pedal a few times to get it started...even with the choke...
In my ongoing pursuit of fixing things that the neglectful folks at Kian Motors in Plano, TX either ignored or were blind...A gearbox rattle, turned to a wobble, turned real quick to a violent shake and I found this.
Does anyone know the part numbers for these bolts? They look like splined...
Ok...I've searched probably a hundred threads but am still relatively confused about the identifiers and types of power steering gear boxes, which one I have, and how to rebuild the seals.
I have a 1982 Fj45 pickup truck from venezuela, with what I believe is stock power steering gear box and...
Hey, everyone. I'm new-ish to the forum, just having acquired my FJ45 2 months ago. I've always admired FJ40s, and considered it a dream vehicle of mine, but was more of a BMW car guy at heart. I've owned an E39 M5, 2 x E30s, and a Z3 Coupe (regret selling this). I still own a 1990 325is, but it...
Having a tire identity crisis for my FJ45 truck. I currently have 33x10.5 BFG mud terrains but want to go for a narrower, more classic look, while still keeping close to a 31-32 diameter. I have seen these tires on a few FJ45s at auction but can't see any markers from the pics. I'm guessing they...
Hey, all. New to the forum. I've been searching for an FJ43 LC for a while, but happened across a really minty FJ75 JDM fire truck. I found a few threads of similar attempts, but most didn't have final pictures or consensus thoughts. Crusher's thread was a bit disheartening. I was wondering if...
