While making several trips in/out of the garage I forgot to pull the lift gate when backing in and oof! Can it be pounded out, pulled out, etc? I'll take any feedback including "you're an idiot".
I got a new exhaust put on and had them exit the pipe behind the DS rear tire versus straight out of the rear as the OE configuration was. I'm getting some smelly exhaust in the cabin and I believe it is coming in through the vents in the rear - the plastic flaps are no longer present and the...
Hello mudders... In the process of rebuilding the transfer case (1989 fj62) I am trying to run down some bearings that are inside gear 21 & 24 of the SOR exploded diagram. SOR wants to sell the entire gears but the gears are fine, I just need to replace the bearing. Anyone have any suggestions...
I'm in need of a TC rebuild on a 62 in the DFW area. I was going to do this awhile back with a mud member but by the time the rebuild kit came in I had trouble getting back in touch. Anyway... I want to rebuild since it needs split to remedy fluid migration between AT and TC. I have a complete...
In need of some guidance - not beating on the product, I'm just stupid... Purchased a set of '62 cables from Urban Land Cruiser and the kit comes with an 'OEM fusible link'. I compared it to my existing fusible link (FL) prior to starting the install and did not see how the link that came with...
I'm about to purchase a transfer case rebuild kit for my '89 62 and I noticed significant price fluctuations between vendors and I was curious if anyone knew the difference in kits that would justify the variances?:confused:
JT Outfitters for $250
Man-A-Fre for $405
Spectre Off Road for $415...
Looking for the driver's side power mirror for an FJ62. Needs to be power, operational, not broken (glass/motor/etc), wiring harness attached and in overall good condition.

My wagon is not my DD, I drive it maybe 1-2 times/week and it is always parked in the same place when not in use so I can watch for drips, etc (always clean under the wagon - I have a habit of checking each day when I leave). I drove the wagon last Friday then parked it. On the way out Sat I...
I have a leak between the trans and the transfer at the seal… the transfer slowly becomes overfilled as a result. I plan on replacing the seal very soon and when performing the work I will also replace the input gear with a McNamara gear I already have on hand.
My question, will a new transfer...
Debating tent poles (aluminum vs fiberglass) with a co-worker...
He is fairly new to camping, his son is in cub scouts so they are camping more often and he is looking to purchase an ALPS Taurus... The model is offered with either fiberglass or aluminum poles (aluminum is about $80 more)...
My transmission (auto) runs a fairly consistent temp of 200*, up to 220* when we are in the 100s. I already have an aftermarket trans cooler installed and I'm thinking about bypassing the rad cooler and running dual XL plate coolers in an attempt to keep it below 200*. My thinjking, if...
Texas recently passed legislation that all occupants (regardless of age or seating position - front/rear) are to be secured by a seatbelt. I don't have rear belts installed but the anchor points are present. Did all FJ62s come equipped with rear belts, only some, etc? I am concerned since the...

Hello -
Came across one of these Smittybilt tube bumpers for cheap... I was wondering if anyone had some feedback on them? I don't intend on doing any insane 'crawling' but would like to remove the stock bumpers and replace with something that can withstand a bit more (I will keep the...
I came across one of my old RCs today, prob 15+ years old...
I remember this was a Cox/Kyosho partnership, I believe Kyosho electronics and Cox chassis... I don't know. The servo is filthy, servo linkage parts are missing, etc. Does anyone know of a good parts source for old RCs? I would...
Just as the title states... I pulled these springs from my 62 awhile back and cleaned them up today and noticed the stamps on them (previously not visibile due to dirt, etc). Does anyone know if these are OEM, etc?
Thanks!
Hello fellow mudders...
A recent thread in the 60 series section in regards to CARS landcruiser making their way to local junkyards motivated me to hit up our local Pick-N-Pull in hopes of finding misc interior 60 series parts. No luck for me but I came across an 80 series that had not been...
