    Fuel line getting filled by air during hot days

    Thank you all for your replies and sorry for any delay! - we are currently traveling in Argentina where internet out of town isn't always available. It's now very hot (up to 110°, but in the early morning it's fine to drive for 2-300 miles), although the phenomenon of bubbles while...

    Fuel line getting filled by air during hot days

    Hello, My FJ60/1982/477'000mi gets more and more a fuel problem if the thermometer rises above 100° as the fuel line gets air in and the Aisan carburetor starts studdering and finally stops and misfires due to lack of fuel. The fuel line is new, three parallel electric 12V pumps...

    Wanted  FJ60 Power Steering Valve Assembly

    Hi, I am looking for the Valve Assy. (old # 44120-60041, substitute 44120-60050) at Toyota discontinued. If not available I am also interested into the whole LHD Stearing Gear 44110-60051. The problem with the whole gear is the shipping weight by courier, because I am stuck now on the island of...

    Steering Box Gear FJ60/1982

    Hi everybody, We are the “around-world-60-series-thread” (Trail Jan./Feb.2007), currently with our FJ60/1982 on the French island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean, after having driven 414’000 miles through 172 different countries. Exactly on this beautiful but nearly “LandCruiser-free” place I...

    Where is the "around-the-world" in a 60 series thread?

    Zack, Although we'd like to visit the US again (despite of having already visited all of the 49 mainland states with our FJ60), we are currently a bit "off the beaten track". At present we're looking forward to the Indian Ocean Islands (Mauritius, Reunion, Madagascar) and afterwards to some...

    Where is the "around-the-world" in a 60 series thread?

    No - today's clock shows 667'435 kilometers, which is about 414'726 miles only. But I guess that I have done between 3 and 5% more because the odometer was originally adjusted for a rolling circumference of a tire size of 205/75SR16 (compulsory in Europe) and not for 7.50R16 which is used mostly...

    Where is the "around-the-world" in a 60 series thread?

    Hi, Our FJ60/1982 is performing quite well regarding its age. But it's the rust that makes us headaches - two years of cruising the Caribbean (2003-2004) and another two years in the Pacific (2008-2009) leave some traces on the body. And now lie the islands of the Indian Ocean ahead of us. The...

    Where is the "around-the-world" in a 60 series thread?

    Here we are: Hi everybody, Nice that you care about us! We just made it yesterday (3/11) - after having spent 5 days in the port of Colombo - into "our" 169th country: Sri Lanka. After leaving the Pacific, i.e. Papua New Guinea, we spent before 3 months in the Philippines, before heading to...

    indominable swiss!

    Yes No. 3, we remember Kaitaia - long time ago; after New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji, we are now with our FJ60/1982 in Samoa and soon back again on American soil: exactly American Samoa. We do our shipping nearly always by container, thus nobody has to care what's inside. Port fees are usually...

    H42-transmission problems

    Hi everybody, We are new to this forum, but not so much to TLCA, where we were published in Toyota Trails January. Since 1984 we are driving around the world in a FJ60/1982, starting in Switzerland, visiting 156 countries and now after 387'000 miles stuck now in Brunei with a transmission...
