So its time to thin out the herd. Up for sale is a 1987 Toyota HJ60 that I have owned for about 5 years or so and bought from Ventura county.
In that period of time, I've put on about 5k miles on her at most.
Things I have done during this period of time.

Hi All,
Was leaking coolant so I replaced the two main hoses on the radiator on my 87 HJ60 since it was some aftermarket ones that were old and I thought would solve the problem with OEM hoses. Still had coolant leaking though, and today finally saw which hose it was. Anyone know where I can...
Wife drove the truck and when I go to fill it up the next time around, no fuel cap.
Does anyone know where I can get one in the States? Found some on eBay AU but shipping is crazy, and nothing on eBay CA
Are they the same as either the FJ60 or FJ62 fuel cap?
Thanks,
John
Hi Guys,
What's the best radiator replacement options for a 87 HJ60? I've tried searching and found some threads where some have used a FJ62 radiator and have a radiator shop change the inlets/outlets. As much as I would prefer a plug n play scenario, I was thinking of going this route but then...
Hello All,
I've had my 1987 HJ60 for a number of years now and pretty much accepted the fact that she's slow. In the end, I would like to get a turbo for it but thats probably after shes been put through a refurbishment. She currently has 298k km (185k miles) on her. I've hardly driven her...
Located in San Jose. Everything came off a 97 80 except for the bumper without end caps (not sure what year it was from)
- Front bumper with end caps $50
- Front bumper without end caps $25
- Rear Bumper (bumper, with AL center piece, end caps) $100
- Middle seat leather in decent shape...
Hey guys,
Was out of town on business for about a month and a half and came back to start up the HJ60. Wouldn't start up when it did fine before I left. I checked the batteries with a mulitmeter and got readings of 11.75 and 12.00, so its not the batteries. When I try to start it, I can hear...
hello all,

lookin to go to cruiser dan to do a hose overhaul and once it comes in, want...
hi guys,
as possible upgrades in the future, i was thinking about putting on an arb front bumper, and also a rear bumper (most likely the one sean is building) onto my 97 80. i dont see me wanting to get a lift as of now. i currently have stock springs and shocks on there (will replace the...
Hi Guys,
I'm flying down to LA for a business trip and will be close to Torrance where RC Engineering is. Thought it would be a good time to remove the fuel injectors on my 1987 HJ60 with 292k kms and bring it down with me. It doesn't get great gas mileage (I think it was around 15mpg last...
Anyone know of a write up on how to do this?
Looked in the FAQ and found the fluid exchange write up and lookin around here, I see the bucket method that many have done as well. Trying to be conservative and do the drain and fill every other oil change.
Thanks.
Tried to use the horn the other day when a lady was backing up without looking. Nothing sounded. Ended up using the old shouting method.
What could go bad on these cruisers? I know the previous owner had an alarm that he said he disabled, not sure if that affected the horn. I looked at the...
Since I am going to do a head gasket swap on my FZJ80, I was thinking of painting the valve cover. Possibly red with the lettering being silver. Any suggestions on which paint to get? Pics would be great if you guys have them, in whichever color cause you might sway me. I've been seeing VHT...
