    1988 fj62 h55 conversion

    If you have the scratch for it, I highly HIGHLY recommend taking it to Valley Hybrids up in Stockton. The owner Georg @orangefj45 is on this forum and is a great guy, his shop converted my FJ62 to the H55F 5 speed a few years ago and it was the best thing I've ever done to that vehicle. They...

    Land Cruisers Garage

    I just made this post a couple days ago in the "Bad Sellers/Buyer Beware" subforum in Classifieds. They are a scam account 100%...I discovered they have been skimming the IH8MUD classifieds and copying photos and text of sale ads but with significantly lower prices. Please report them if their...

    Do you really like your H55?

    My experience was slightly different with an FJ62, but dumping the auto transmission for the H55F was the best thing that's happened to that truck. I also combined the new 5 speed with 33" tires and the 3.1:1 low range which has made a huge difference off road. The high ratio 1:1 stock gear is...

    6X series Unobtainium

    The brown grab bar was used in the brown interior FJ62's...mine has one. There just weren't as many brown interiors as gray I think, so harder to come by brown interior parts.

    New Clutch Master Cylinder or Adjust?

    Great point, I forgot to mention that I did bleed the system at the slave cylinder quite thoroughly the other day... was hoping it was just an air bubble but the behavior didn't change after a good bleeding. A new AISIN master cylinder is already on order (I ordered the wrong one...

    New Clutch Master Cylinder or Adjust?

    My FJ62 was 5 speed swapped approximately 2 years ago by Georg and his crew up at Valley Hybrids. Everything has been great, but the last month or so the clutch has started having issues. I have adjusted the clutch a couple times but am now noticing that the clutch is disengaging very low to...

    Excited to see this available for the FJ62 crowd, looks great. How exactly does the rear bumper mount up? Do you have any photos from underneath showing it installed?

    Car Transport Recommendations

    I wish I knew about Summit also... shipped a car from NJ to CA last August with Montway Auto Transport, a broker. Like everyone else said, prepare to be inundated with shipping quotes and offers. I probably got 10 calls a day for like 4 weeks after submitting one quote online. Montway was...

    Your RPM vs MPH

    Well if you're at 65MPH and you're rolling at, say, 2800RPM, there's a few different ways that could go: A.) You're in 3rd gear, not in "D" (which would allow the 4th overdrive gear) B.) You're in 4th gear, but slipping out of torque converter lockup or out of 4th altogether C.) Your...

    Your RPM vs MPH

    That depends on which model you have...looking through your post history, I'm guessing you have an FJ62 with the 3FE, A440F automatic transmission and factory 4.11 diff gears. That tach vs. MPH combo depends on all the above factors, as different 60 series rigs had different transmissions with...

    FJ62 Water temp sensor replaced but maybe now bad ECU?

    I see you've already done this, but really check and make sure the connector is seated and the wires are run right. I struggled with a water temp sensor issue and ended up having to purchase a connector repair kit (thanks @ToyotaMatt ) and running new wiring out to the connector. My symptoms...

    Troubleshooting slcfj62 headlight harness upgrade

    Check the connectors at all ends as well; I ended up sending mine back to slcfj62 back when he was building the harnesses, and he found lots of corrosion in the connections at the headlight end. We were confused as to how, since I don't live in a humid/rainy area and it shouldn't have been a...

    Re-gearing 4spd manual FJ62

    Especially considering FJ62's should have 4.11 gears in the diffs...I'm on 33's with the stock 4.11's and a 5-speed, I couldn't imagine that on 235's. @cruisernoob88 You might want to consider moving up the 33's if you still have the stock FJ62 differentials. That combo is generally regarded...

    "Detour" - FJ62 Fire Truck Ute - soon to be 80-chassis swapped

    Awesome thread, love seeing the progression on this truck! Would you happen to have the link for those alibaba arm rest cup holders? Those are great! Good to know they'll fit a 60/62 also. How are they mounted?

    Service offered - FJ62 driver's window relay assembly (green box) refurb

    Thanks @Spook50! Excited to have a working driver's window again. Window stuck down + living in LA = very bad idea.

    Advice/Help - strange loss of power today

    While doing a coolant flush on mine a few weeks ago, the old corroded wires on the water temp sensor connector finally broke, which gave me a code 22. The truck ran funky without it, could barely start it or give it any gas...the sensor was fine, just the brittle wiring pulled out of the...

    Loss of Power at 2,300+ RPM - '86 FJ60 with 3FE/H55f

    Any chance it could be a clogged catalytic converter (or two)? Excessive backpressure at high revs could cause stumbling or the feeling of hitting a wall at a certain RPM.

    Low Pitch Resonance at Highway Speeds

    Have been driving for a couple days with tires up to ~45 PSI, changing pressures made no change to the noise. As @Godwin advised, I just crawled underneath and checked for looseness/movement in the rear driveshaft and pinion areas. There was basically zero up/down or side/side lateral...
