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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Hello,
I recently converted my 68' FJ 55 to a four speed transmission and transfer case, all went well except for the drive shaft issue. I have access to the original 4spd driveshaft, the only problem is the flanges on the 68's axles are the small bolt patter and the transfer case is now the...
