    Too many strange things happening to come up with a good title....please read.

    Found the last bolt lol! Just did the leak down test and it looks like number 6 cylinder has failed. I've done an FJ60 2F head gasket in the past but this is a different animal. Any lessons learned on this job that would be helpful if shared? Trying to stay positive about this and learn as...

    Too many strange things happening to come up with a good title....please read.

    I pulled #6 spark plug and it looked fine. Not what I expected. I need to replace the valve cover gasket anyways so I decided it would be easier to remove the valve cover so that I can see which valves are closed to do the leak down test. Ive pulled all of the bolts and removed everything but...

    Too many strange things happening to come up with a good title....please read.

    Hello All, I did some repairs on my 1996 FJ80 (211K) yesterday and I'm having other problems that may or may not be associated. History: The truck through a code after purchase telling me there was a flow issue with the EGR system. Passed emission ok so I just put it on the back burner. It...

    How does the 100-series stack up?

    Ok, I realize the answers are going to biased because I would assume most on this forum love their vehicles. Just curious about your opinion of this model compared to other LC's. I have pretty much owned all of them at some point in my life. My wife has owned 2 FJ80 and currently drives a...

    Sticking Intake Valves??

    Sorry Greg for taking so long to respond. I spoke with the machine shop and they are as perplexed as I am. I think I will replace the push rods and see how it goes. If it continues to have issues I will pull the head I guess. Everything in the valve train seems to work fine. Cross my...

    Sticking Intake Valves??

    Just curious if this has happened to anyone else. My 1985 (recently acquired) had sat for 13 years. I drained the fuel, changed fluids, new battery, new gas and it fired right up. I drove the truck for about 25 miles and broke a push rod because of a stuck intake valve. I pulled the head and...

    Brake Booster Mystery

    Sorry it would not let me add text. Thanks for the picture! I'm not sure where than line is heading to off of the intake. That seem to be the most logical but this is the way I bought the truck. Don't I need vacuum to test the booster? Thanks

    Brake Booster Mystery

    Hopefully someone can help me out with this one. Currently I do not have brake assist on my 1985 FJ-60 meaning it more coasts to a stop than actual braking. This truck sat for 14 years so I am running in to a lot of weird things. I just finished doing a valve job due to a stuck intake valve...

    Rear Seat Safety

    All, I am interested in picking up another FJ-60 for my wife to use as a daily driver. We have owned an 84' that we both loved, but this was pre-children. Since then we have owned two FJ-80 that were wonderful vehicles, but they just did not have the same feel. So, the notion of buying...

    Wanted WTB usable distributor for a F155 72'

    To answer all. I just need something to get a truck back on the road for an elderly friend. The truck has sat for many years due to a botched carb rebuild and installation of a hall effect electronic ignition. Carb has been straighten, but the distributor is questionable. They modified the...

    Wanted WTB usable distributor for a F155 72'

    Will that work? I am trying to get a truck bad on the road for a friend. Someone at some point replaced the points with a electronic unit, thus loosing several parts and screwing up the vacuum advance. The carb does not have provision for a vacuum point.

    66' Carburettor question..which is correct?

    Thanks to all that responded. Sorry for such a late response from my end. It looks like a the truck had a 155F installed at some point, a 72' according to engine numbers. The kit has been ordered and the carb is disassemble and cleaned. Two problems that I noticed, one the idle mixture screw...

    66' Carburettor question..which is correct?

    Hello All, I am trying to get a truck going for a freind, so forgive me if I lack some information. The truck is a 66' FJ-40 with 1F engine, stock. It looks like someone has monky'd with the carb set up at some point and I am not sure whether the carb is even correct. The aisan currently...

    Righting the steering wheel.

    Hello All, The previous owner installed aftermarket springs on the truck at some point and I would assume never bothered to get an alignment because the steering wheel is cocked at 2 o'clock and 7 o'clock when in the wheels are straight. Give that the springs gave a 2" lift, it makes sense to...

    New 60 owner questions

    Thanks Felix, That sound about right and the procedure works fine. New things to get used to! The real issue though is the feeling that it seems to loose power once I reach 2,000 RPM especially in second. It feels almost as if it is starved for fuel. Premature in my posting as I plan to do a...

    New 60 owner questions

    Hello All, I acquired a, 84' FJ-60 in a partial trade for an old Series Land Rover. While my wife it a little cranky with me, I feel pretty good about owning a Toyota again. It will be nice to find parts locally for at least one of my vehicles. Previously I have owned a 40, 2-55's, and a 80...

    Power Steering leak??

    Hey All, I have a question about a leaky power steering unit. So far, we have been successful limping by, but the truck is going to need some attention soon. I am having a hard time locating the exact sorce of the leak, but it would appear that it is coming from the back side of the pump or...
