    For Sale  1989 FJ62 - Los Angeles $19,500

    NOT MINE but at face value this looks like a decent low mileage truck at a reasonable price. New carpet kit and seat covers from cruiser corps would really bring it to the next level. Wish I had the time for such a project but I don't...

    FJ60 Alternator - Couple of Questions

    I gave my battery charger away. Regretting that right now. Going to let it idle in the driveway for a couple of hours and see where we're at. Hope it's just a lack of charge and I'm not draining power somewhere...

    Battery is at 13.3 volts while idling in the driveway, alternator is at 14.3 volts.

    FJ60 Alternator - Couple of Questions

    Something still not right…I drove the car last night for ~20 minutes, thought that would be enough time for the alternator to re-charge the battery. I went out to start the car this morning and it just barely turned over. Shut it off and tried once more and the battery did not have enough power...

    FJ60 Alternator - Couple of Questions

    Ok, job done. As if swapping pulleys was an afterthought....I spent the better part of the afternoon trying to remove the old pulley. The nut came right off with an impact wrench but the pulley itself was absolutely locked on there. Definitely did some damage to the shrowd on the original...

    FJ60 Alternator - Couple of Questions

    Thanks to everyone who chimed in and guided me. My local parts shop was able to source a compatible unit for $128 (I will have to swap the pully but I can live with that), and they offered to take my original alternator to their rebuild guy. I will post here once I have the new one, in case...

    FJ60 Alternator - Couple of Questions

    All connections look good, I don't see any damaged wires and the fusible link looks fine. The alternator should be putting out 14+ volts, right? So I have my answer?

    FJ60 Alternator - Couple of Questions

    12.2 volts at the alternator right after a jump. Too low, no?

    FJ60 Alternator - Couple of Questions

    Good point. I will check the wiring at the back of the alternator tomorrow. Everything looked decent at a glance but I didn’t look closely. The other thing that happened is the battery charge light and the brake light came on when I tried to start the truck (even when parking brake is off). I’ve...

    FJ60 Alternator - Couple of Questions

    Thanks @micruz60. First thing I did was check the cables and clean up the battery posts. No improvement unfortunately. I think I’ll just pull the alternator and bring it to the parts store to test and confirm. That way I can also make sure the orientation of a new unit is the same. If anyone...

    FJ60 Alternator - Couple of Questions

    While running an errand last night I noticed the voltage gauge in my 1985 FJ60 was very low (around 8-10 volts depending on whether or not I had the lights, fan, or turn signals on). The truck had been sitting for about a week so I thought maybe something had been left on or one of the doors had...

    What did you do with your 60 this weekend?

    Came back to find another cruiser beside mine at the flea market.

    Did you ride today?

    Hate when that happens

    Dang, you good? What happened?

    What did you do with your 60 this weekend?

    That's a good tip, thank you! I ended up using adhesive remover and simple green to clean the wheel up, then an aluminum polish to finish. I have a bottle of CLR under the kitchen sink but the strength of that stuff kind of frightens me haha.

    Carb Cooling Fan Relay Question (with video)

    Seems like many of us have gone this route. One less 39 year old electrical component to depend on.

    Carb Cooling Fan Relay Question (with video)

    Thank you! I’ll have to see if I have a working temp sensor, maybe I’ll go back and do it the “right” way at some point. For now I am stoked just to have it working.

    Carb Cooling Fan Relay Question (with video)

    So I started by looking at the diagram in the haynes manual but I still didn’t understand what the relay looked like. Here’s a picture for future reference in case anyone comes across this thread with a common issue: For my smooth brain, it was easier to follow wires from the fan, and sure...

    Carb Cooling Fan Relay Question (with video)

    Ok thanks a lot I’ll check that. Just got the little one down for a nap, going to mess with it now.
