    GX Burst into Flames

    About a month ago our radio and rear camera stopped working. I was going to try and get to it this winter but it wasn't a huge deal to us. I started the GX 470 and was going to take some items to the dump from a house we are clearing out. I think I opened the backdoor twice while it was...

    Lug Pattern v old Cruisers

    I bought my first 100 series two weeks ago. I have bought and sold about a dozen 40/60 series and my daily driver is a GX470, I was shocked to start working on the brake system and see a five lug pattern, I thought 6 lugs was standard on all cruisers. I'm surprised the GX470/Prado would have a...

    SOLD  NW Montana BJ60 Rust Bucket

    Seats are gone, but rest of interior is in pretty good shape. Bad bearing in engine. Engine is torn down and ready to part out otherwise. Let me know what you want and I'll take a picture for you! Text or calling is fine too, I'm generally available, but a little hard of hearing. Tree Six...

    1971 FJ40 Wiring

    I recently purchased a 40 from Colorado Farmer (it started on the first turnover with fresh fluids!) and have greatly benefited from the wiring diagrams others have made. Since I needed to do quite a bit of repair due to some kind of rodent enjoying the wiring I decided to make a wiring diagram...

    For Sale  Troll Hole Carb

    I have a used troll hole carb that fixed all my problems until I found a diesel engine with an H55 and I took the gasser out. I began tearing apart the engine but have enjoyed the diesel so much I've decided to just keep going in that direction with another rebuild. No problems with the carb...

    Basically New 85 FJ60 in Montana

    I have no affiliation, and this vehicle is for sale, but I thought I should post it here for general interest.. I have never seen an FJ60 like this one and was in awe walking around it when I visited the dealership for my FJC this week! She has 104k original miles and is bone stock. Not a...

    3B into FJ60 Prep Questions

    I've got a spare 3B motor and just picked up a 60 with seized 2F that's been sitting for a couple years. The 3B has nothing attached, so I thought I'd try and figure out what parts I need to buy before I do the swap (I have an 85 BJ60 12V that I regularly drive) into the FJ.. 1. The 2F has a...

    1956 Sears/JC Higgins

    I bought this JC Higgins trailer last year off of Craigslist. I was looking for some sort of trailer to take back some mild dirt roads to build a basecamp and then go hunting/backpacking. This popped up for $100 and I figured if it was a bust I could get close to that just recycling it. Now...

    A huge thanks to Rich and the guys at Cruiser Corps for helping me out and his diligence in finding my mistakes. I have exchanged emails and phone calls with him the last three days throughout the day trying to figure out what went wrong and feel he has gone out of his way to make sure...

    Rotors and Snap Rings

    I am trying to replace my badly worn rotors, but am baffled on how to get a snap ring off. Is there a trick or do i just need to keep at it with the snap ring pliers and a small screwdriver and keep hoping i get really lucky?

    Upgrading to 4Runner Brakes, Brake Hose Question

    My brakes are shot, calipers stuck and master cylinder leaking. I'm at 270k miles, so I'm figuring while I'm at it I will just replace and upgrade everything. I am ordering the brakes to match the write-up from the FAQ. Biggest question I have is about the brake hoses. Is there a thread...

    Fan clutvh, or something more?

    So I've owned this 60 since January 2008 and just had my third fan clutch fail. Could there be another issue?

    Weber, Backfiring through Carb

    I have a weber 38/38 carb and am assuming I have timing issues. When I try to start the car, I get an initial rush to ~ 1000 RPMs and then it struggles to do anything. I can feather the pedal, but it will send a warm, beautiful ball of fire through the carb. How do I fix this?

    Ignition Switch, or Starter?

    That cold spell seemed to bring out all kinds of demons on a 60 that was working great.. The latest is when I turn the key to Start her, nothing happens. I hold the key in the start position for 5-15 seconds and the starter will finally kick over like it should. If I bring the key back to...

    Frozen Anti-freeze

    Had system flushed about two months ago and of course, now that it's 'cold' and windy in Northwest WA my coolant system has frozen up. There doesn't appear to be any damage to the freeze plugs in the block, it looks like it all forced out of the rubber coolant hoses, but it's definitely frozen...

    No Spark

    Good Morning, I'm experiencing difficulty trying to get my FJ60 back up and running. It's an 87 and was desmogged by a previous owner. Recently it's been acting up after sitting for a day or more, as well as when it gets below 40 at night. After sitting, it would start, but seem to...

    ehh, Burned out Starter? NW WA

    Man, I let my cousin drive my 60 and when she got back (about 10 miles round-trip) the key was still in the ignition and it was making a funny whirring noise. She complained they key was 'weird to turn.' It smells horrible, something was definitely burning out and it seems to be coming...

    Wanted  Looking for Intake Manifold

    Hey, I'm looking for an intake manifold for an '86 60. I suppose any 2F manifold will do as I'm up in the air on whether the smog is staying on or not on this Cruiser. Thanks for any help!

    THE Desmog Thread - Lots of Pictures!

    So. My smog pump has seized. Subsequently, I've decided to do a desmog tutorial. Learn from my inevitable mistakes. I jumped into this today, extremely excited. There was a thunderstorm rolling in and my other car is a convertible. Guess which I'd rather drive in the rain... Here's a few...
