Just wanted give a heads-up to West side folks looking for a shop work on the rides. I've taken my 62 there twice so far, and have been very pleased with their quality of work, prices, and turnaround times.
It's never been anything super-complicated (AC recharge, TPS install, kickdown cable...
I was heading home after work yesterday, and spied an 80 (I think) on a flatbed, exiting ahead of me on Cactus. First thought was, "bummer, that's the second broken down Cruiser I've seen this week."
Saw a busted 40 on the 101 on Saturday. Was that anyone here? Woulda stopped, but we were...
Let's just say the well-loved local tv station I worked for had some pretty massive layoffs last week, and I was included. :frown:
So if you or someone you know is looking for a web and/or print designer, think of me!
I'm in the middle of updating my horribly out-of-date freelance site:

That is -- I need to get my rig muddy. :D
I'll be rolling with the Cactus 4 Wheelers in the Pride parade on the 12th, and the mud will be my "decoration".
It's been drier than a mummy fart, so I have no idea where to find a mudhole - especially one that isn't too far away, and preferably...
The other day, I had to wait in the parking lot, so I just let it idle for a while. Then the waiting got longer and longer, so I cut the engine off, and just turned the key on, so I could listen to the radio.
But then I noticed the temp needle going up at an alarming pace. It was about to...
These folks friended me on MySpace. I noticed a couple of FJs on their pictures page. Are they of anyone here?
Welcome to Offroad Girls
My 62 is represented!
They just updated the pics, but if you want to submit one, just send it to pictures@playhardgetdirty.com
I also got a bulletin...
It's been way too long, people. Set a spell, BS a bit, and quench your thirst with your fellow CSCers, February 8th, 6pm. Location: TBA.
Rep-reSENT!
(but not like these douchebags :rolleyes:)
A while back, I ordered one of those 3 packs of BG44K off of eBay. I've already used the one the goes in the gas tank, and the one that you spray in the throttle body. But the third one has me stuck.
The direction say:
"Find a vacuum port on the engine that has manifold vacuum on it all the...
I understand why there is the short word filter in the search function -- so it weeds out the "to"s and "of"s. But I'd like to be able to include terms like "H4" and "3F" in my searches. I'm just sayin...
Yesterday when I was driving my FJ62 home, I heard a loud "POP!!" from the front end. Now when I turn, I hear "clunkclunkclunk." No detectable weirdness in how it handles.
From what I read in tech, it's likely shifting leaf springs and/or the steering shaft needing grease.
What I'm...
I need a cold start injector time switch & water temp sending unit for 1989 FJ62. You'll find 'em on the bottom half of your t-stat housing unit.
:cheers:
My thread's getting no play up in the 60 series forum, so I thought I'd give it a shot here:
My 62 has started this thing where it won't start if it's hot. It didn't it off and on before, but it was more random. Now, it's due to a specific set of circumstances.
Since temps have been in the...
My 62 has started this thing where it won't start if it's hot. It didn't it off and on before, but it was more random. Now, it's due to a specific set of circumstances.
Since temps have been in the one-teens daily here, the 62 gets pretty warm frequently. Usually, when I get home from work...
I'm moving this discussion over here, as to not clutter up the Wrenching Day thread any more.
UPDATE: I just got off the phone with Rodney at Wholesale Automatics in Oz. Very nice, cool guy!
Basically, he said that is was quite unlikely, though possible, that it was my torque converter, or...
