    Bad CB Range!

    I recently installed a cobra CB into my 62 with a 3 foot firestik fiberglass along the hood line. Works pretty good- when I'm at my house and I listen to 19 or 9 I can usually hear truckers etc talking , and I'm a few miles from the interstate. The problem starts here-- my buddy just got a...

    No more light behind the Speedometer

    When I recently took out the instrument panel of my 62 to install a CB radio, I had to unplug all the lights and gauges etc. When I put everything back together, it all works fine except for the lights in the speedometer. They are plugged in and everything, and worked fine before. Now, no...

    Write Up- CB in a 62

    I recently put a cobra CB into my 62, and I decided I'd do a write-up on it because it's a good setup that I don't think enough 62 guys know about (I had only seen it in 80's). The CB is a cobra 18WXSTII, and the antenna is a 3 ft. fiberglass Firestik. These 3 pics show how I modified the...

    CB install help---

    So I got a Cobra 18WXST off of ebay for $60....now I'm trying to get her installed. The mounting isn't what I have questions about...It's the routing of power cords and the antenna cable. I'm a real electrical newb, so could someone explain to me how to tap into the accessory power so that the...

    DIN mount CB...

    I'm looking for a CB that I can put in the bottom half of my stereo opening...I have an aftermarket Sony CD player in the top half. I've researched the Cobra 18WXSTII and it sounds like it will fit in the bottom half, but many say that it is a little bit cheaply made. So, I have also looked...

    Hard to Start in the Cold

    This morning it was 17 degrees here in Little Rock, AR (I know, but that's cold for here). It took my 62 about 5 times of cranking with no result before it finally wanted to start. When it's cranking, it sounds more sluggish than in normal weather. Is it my oil or what? I have in...

    DIN size CB Radio?

    Hello everyone, I'm looking for a DIN sized radio to fill in the other half of the stock opening in my FJ62. I know about the Cobra 18 WXST II but it doesn't have a PA button. Does anyone know of a good quality CB that is DIN sized, especially one with a built in front facing speaker? The...

    Temp Guage spiking-loss of ground?

    Today, while on the freeway, my temperature gauge spiked almost to the red. As I remember hearing this is related to the gas gauge because they share the same ground (?) I looked at the gas gauge, and it was way over full (I only have 3/4 of a tank). I think I remember hearing that they share...

    FJ62 still overheating after a cleaned rad and new t-stat

    This past week, I took the radiator out of my FJ62 to and took it to a radiator shop to have cleaned. In the meantime i replaced the thermostat with one from NAPA which he said was a 192 degree one. Today I put it all back in and hooked everything up. I did burp it a little but could only do...

    Is this the right thermostat gasket?

    I have my radiator out, so I decided to go ahead and change my thermostat. Got a new one from NAPA with the gasket that they said I would need. But I got home and it's not quite the same as the one on the old one, plus there another gasket on the old one. (It would cover "made in japan" if it...

    Safe to re-paint my fan shroud?

    Today I pulled my radiator to have it flushed out in a shop and while I have the fan shroud out I'd like to re-paint it because it's looking pretty ratty. I have some flat black paint for metals at home, is this okay? Will the underhood temp be okay for it? i'm thinking yes but i wanted to...

    Where do these plugs go?

    Today I found two plastic plugs that aren't hooked to anything...not sure if it's significant at all, but does anyone know where they're supposed to be hooked up, if they even are? By the way, it's a stock 88 FJ62 The following four pics show two of the blue drivers side plug and two of the...

    Coolant Reservoir level doesn't change

    for the past few months, the coolant level in my reservoir tank stays at the full (hot) level either when the truck hasn't been driven or if it's at operating temp. What's the deal? It hasn't always done this. On day, I took out some coolant from the reservoir to bring it to the low (cold)...

    Regul A/T Trailblazer tire pressure?

    I don't know if anyone is running 31x10.5 Regul A/T Trailblazer tires, but if you are can you help me. I'm not sure what air pressure to run them on. (It's a Daily Driver stock FJ62) thanks

    I finally got a digital camera (for x-mas), so I've got some pics of my 88 FJ62. It's all stock except for a BDS kit with an OME damper, 31x10.5 tires, and a Sony CD player. Enjoy!

    Interior Electrical Problems

    I have been searching for answers but nothing has helped. Last summer, my dome light over the rear seat just quit working all of a sudden...No doors or the switch can turn it on. My cargo dome light still works perfectly, however. I have checked all of my fuses and fusible links, and nothing...

    wow what a lean

    Okay, so I just got my BDS kit put on. It's been installed and on the ground/driven for 4 days, and I've got some major leaning going on. The front fenders are: driver: 22 7/8 in. from bottom of hub to fender. passenger: 24 1/8 in. so, the front has about a 1.25 in lean to the driver side...

    Anyone have trouble w/ BDS on a FJ62?

    After receiving my BDS kit for my FJ62, The rear springs are too short. They will most likely invert my springs when I go over the first big bump. My mechanic advised me to get some anti-inversion shackles for the rear, but I don't think I should have to pay extra money when this kit is...

    Super Swampers on a DD?

    I'm looking at some 33x12.5's to go w/ my BDS on my 62. It is driven daily, but I want some good traction off road too. Is there a Super Swamper that's even close to the road noise and ride as BFG MT? I'm guessing no, but just in case. :rolleyes:

    FJ62 seeping around U-Bolt Yoke

    My 88 FJ62 is seeping oil where my front driveshaft connects to my front differential. I think a seal failed at the back of the U-Bolt Yoke, but I'm not sure. Any advice is good...Thanks :confused: Mike M
