    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...

    FJ62 Accessory Bearings

    Hello all Wondering which of the accessories/pulleys on the front of the motor have serviceable bearings. One of the idler pulleys (or possibly the A/C pulley) bearings are very noisy, making an almost screechy/whistling sound with the engine running. I have read that the idler pulley...

    FJ62 Condenser Cleaning/Replacement

    Hi All Trying to kill two birds with one stone here...A/C is not running as well as it should, despite a fresh recharge with R12, and engine temperature is running a little high in some situations, despite a known working radiator that was just re-rodded and flow tested. This leads me to the...

    FJ62 Fan Clutch Engaging Too Late

    Recently completed a cooling system overhaul on the FJ62 which solved a lot of problems I was having. Part of the overhaul included replacing the original fan clutch with a new AISIN unit from RockAuto. The original was definitely original, did not have any problems. New clutch works okay but...

    FJ62 Trouble w/ New Lower Thermostat Housing

    So my good-willing intention of going through the cooling system has become a bit of trouble for me. Sourced a new lower t-stat housing from Toyota for my 1990 FJ62, as the original lower was very rusty/oxidized, with bits of metal tubing breaking off the ends, as well as having two broken...

    In preparation for the upcoming warm weather, I've decided it's time to refresh the cooling system. Have a few questions, some of which seem to be controversial... First some facts: Radiator replaced about 5 years ago with a CSF brass unit, seems to be working well but starting to get some odd...

    Worth Replacing O2 Sensor on Crummy Exhaust?

    Like the title says, is it worth replacing my o2 sensors if my exhaust is crummy? Or should I replace / repair the whole exhaust and then put new sensors in? I've been getting an intermittent Code 25 CEL that I think I have tracked down to one of the o2 sensors, and it's causing some rough...

    FJ62 Stock Radio Lights

    Couldn't find anything (at least for an FJ62), but how would one go about replacing the lights in a stock FJ62 cassette radio? I'm referring to this radio. My guess is that they are soldered onto a board, rather than plugs for easy change out. I just finished a complete LED light swap in my...
