    Stereo speakers sound bad when sharing ground

    At some point someone hacked up the stereo wiring in my 60 a bit, stereo that came in there was fried. Just replaced it with a new one studying the wiring diagram for these trucks and noticed that the speakers share the same ground but the sound really breaks up and sounds like crap when the...

    Head gasket appears to be leaking

    Unfortunately just as I think Im finishing up baselining this new-to-me 1985 fj60 I seem to have discovered a leaky head gasket. It started by me wondering why I was seeing random little puffs of whiteish smoke from my tail pipe even after the engine is warmed up. I knew it could be plenty of...

    Having trouble bleeding the brakes

    Just finished rebuilding the front calipers, replaced all the soft brake lines and the rear wheel cylinders and now i topped off the reservoir and am trying to bleed the lines but I can’t get any fluid from any of the bleeders. Pumping the brakes seems to do nothing, the fluid level in the...

    Airbags, AAL, or new springs for saggy rear end?

    I’ve got a fj60 with almost flat rear springs. I can see myself some day in the future splurging on a OME lift spring kit, 33’s, lockers and regear it to 4.11 so I can handle all the hills and mountain passes where I’m at but for now I’m just trying to get it “good enough.” The springs are...

    Which carburetor gasket to use?

    Does anyone know which gasket I should use between the carburetor body and the air horn? The large black one in the left image or the one in the right image? One covers the float bowl and the other is open. My kit came with both and I used the one on the left and my accelerator pump isn’t...

    Power Steering Gear Box Replacement

    Finally decided to address my badly leaking power steering system today by first tightening the clamps on the return lines, making a new gasket for the reservoir cap (whenever I run the truck frothy ATF spews from the cap) and finally flushing the system and replenishing it with new ATF. I took...

    Accelerator Pump Discharge Weight Spring

    I disassembled the carb on my ‘85 fj60 and the discharge weight didn’t have a spring under it. The check ball is there but no spring to be found. I figured I’d look around my junk drawers for a spring that fits but wanted to double check with you guys if there might be a good reason to...

    Trailer wheels on an FJ60

    Someone in my area is asking for $200 for a set of 4 steel, 6 lug, 15" trailer rims. They look like they might work on my FJ60. Wondering if any experts here could say yay or nay. I don't have my FJ together at the moment to drive it over and test the rim fitment. Here's two pics from the...

    Cleaning a carburetor in California

    Hey, I'm planning to rebuild my carburetor this week. I've got the walker rebuild kit as well as a secondary diaphragm from NAPA. I've seen it suggested to use Berryman's chem dip to soak the disassembled carb in but I've also seen someone on here warning it removes all the cad plating on the...

    Anyone know what this fitting/connector is?

    Looks like someone wrenched the hose clamps on either side of this fitting til they shredded. Planning on replacing the hose but wondering what this weird looking connector is. Should I delete it or does it serve a purpose? Thank you!

    FJ60 fuel hose question

    I’d like to replace the soft fuel lines under the hood of my fj60. Wondering if there’s any reason they both curve down like a p-trap and if I should recreate that or if I can just route them more directly to the fuel pump? Bonus points for anyone who knows the size of the fuel line of the top...

    Steering Shaft/Yoke Protector?

    I'm curious if anyone knows how this part is supposed to be secured. Mine isn't attached to anything and it seems dangerous to just have it bouncing around on the shaft. It appears to be in the correct place/position but I can't figure out how its supposed to be secured. It looks similar to this...

    New Blower Motor

    Hey maybe this isn't exactly breaking news but before I pulled the trigger on a $67 (plus shipping) 12v blower motor on rock auto I decided to look around for a better price and happened to find the same blower motor on Autozone's website for just under $40 with free shipping. I ordered one and...

    Are these FJ steelies?

    In search of some steelies for my FJ60 and I stumbled upon a listing for some rims that look like the FJ40 steelies with the hubcap clips. Can someone with a more discerning eye tell me if these are them or if maybe theyre random chevy rims? thanks

    1985 FJ60 cheap lift?

    Hey all, I just purchased a beater FJ60 that I'll be using for getting up and down some mountain property of mine in the high desert and exploring the surrounding areas. I'm not looking to pour tons of money into this rig but currently its looking pretty sad with some weak leaf springs, ancient...

    1985 FJ60 failed California smog due to high NOx

    Hey everyone, just joined this community today after buying my first Toyota yesterday. Picked up a beater FJ60 and am getting ready to get things in order with it. Previous owner tried smogging it before selling but it failed due to NOx being 202 ppm too high. Smog tech told him its probably a...
