Selling my 1988 FJ62. It is modified and ready to roll. Bought the vehicle a few years ago with the intention of building a family-friendly off road vehicle. Most of the work was done by the PO, but I decided to do an LS swap. Unfortunately, I've lost interest in it.

Hi ONSC crowd. I know this is a bold request from a relatively new guy who does't come to the monthly meetings, but does anyone have or know where to source an M23 1.5 thread chaser or tap/die? I'm installing a Marlin High Steer kit and the TRE threads are a little boogered. I would like to...
I'm trying diagnose a lack of power issue and would appreciate any ideas or advice.
Vehicle - 1988 Toyota Landcruiser
Engine - 2006 LM7 (returnless fuel rail; corvette-style filter FPR at/near the tank; I also have an additional fuel filter between the fuel pump and the corvette-style...
I've always wheeled old CJs. This was my first wheeling trip in a Toyota (LS Swapped) and apparently there's a learning curve. Would appreciate any thoughts or advice on the following issues:
1. I lost 4 low early on the first day (xfer case lever wouldn't activate 4WD); I think I figured out...
Hi. Not sure if it's OK to post this (or where it belongs), but wanted to pass along a good experience with an LS tuner in the Triad area. Carolina Auto Masters in Burlington. Jeff Creech is the tuner and he seems to know his stuff (but what do I know - this is my first LS swap).
Also, had a...
I'm getting near the end of my LS swap and am starting to think about tuning and exhaust. Any reccos on good shops for dyno tuning and good exhaust shops?
Thanks.
I'm in the middle of swapping an LS into my FJ62. The donor engine is an LM7 from a 2006 Yukon. There's some differences with this engine vs early LS IIIs (e.g,. return-less fuel rail, hydroboost PS pump, different bolt pattern for the oil pan, etc.)
My question is about the vacuum ports...

Not sure if there are any Dirt Everyday fans out there. Now that the show has been cancelled, Fred and Dave have started their own YouTube channels and both are building Landcruisers - Dave is wrenching on an FJ60...that looks to be in decent shape already.

Hi ONSC members.
I'm a relatively new member who works in market research... and I have an odd request.
I've been asked by my client (national provider of auto parts and care) to get a better understanding of...
Putting together a build thread for my recently-acquired 1988 FJ62. PO did a SOA lift, 4.88 gears and 37 inch tires. With all of that, the vehicle can barely get out of its own way. Given it's turtle-like speed, I dubbed it the LandSnoozer.
To wake up the LandSnoozer, I'm doing a...
Doing a V8 swap, so listing the original drivetrain for sale.
1988 3FE (de-smogged) and A440 transmission; both seem to run fine; 206591 on the odometer; compression #s: 1-155, 2-145, 3-150, 4-150, 5-150, 6-150.
Asking $2,500 for the complete set (less the transfer case)
Still in the vehicle...
Got through most of the desmog successfully. However, when removing the large male/male connector piece from the exhaust manifold, I mangled the threads of the connector piece. Luckily, the exhaust manifold still has threads, but they’re clogged with rust and metal material so I can’t get the...
OK. I started digging into the 62 today to fix a rough engine condition - rough idle and feels like there's a miss when it goes into closed loop...but it's oddly sporadic. No check engine light until I realized the bulb was blown (sigh). When I replaced the bulb, code 21 popped up - O2 sensor...
Hi. I just clicked "pay" on PayPal for my ONSC membership, so I thought I'd introduce myself.
I just acquired a 1988 FJ62 (traded my 83 Scrambler for it a couple of days ago). I know nothing about TLCs, so I will be searching (and asking) for help. Apologies ahead of time.
