On my way into work today my I noticed that my break peddle would only depress about a 1/2 inch and when coasting the truck would slow down faster than usual. I was able to pull over and the front rotors were extremely hot. I parked the vehicle for a while and got back in. When I drove it the...
My '84 FJ60 has developed a death wobble and it has me baffled. I need some help from all the cruiser heads here please.
A little background on my truck. It's a '84 FJ60 with a 2002 vortec and a 4" Old Man Emu lift from Man-it-aint-Free, and BFG 35x12.5x15 Muds on stock rims.

So I did some searching and didn't find what I was looking for.
I have a 1984 FJ60, and I want power windows. Power locks would be nice as well but the windows are primary. I was thinking that possibly the "easiest" way to get these would be to put 62 doors on my 60. Has anyone does this...
Ok well I guess I'll start by introducting myself. I'm Nick and I have had several Cruisers. A '78 FJ40 (which I still have), a '74 FJ55 (sold to RedLine Cruisers), and now a '84 FJ60.
I sold the pig to buy this as the I couldnt afford to fix up the pig and needed something a bit more...
So I just finished dropping a 5.3L Vortec in my '84 FJ60. The only issue I am having from it now is that the external fuel pump is whining like its cool. I called summit (who I purchased it from) and they said that the "sock" over the pick up was mostlikly clogged. So tonight I want to drop...
Ok so I'm getting ready to build a front bumper for my 60. The original was the chrome stock one. But it had a couple of accidents on it and was bent and getting rust spots. So here we are today.
I made a mock bumper out of cardboard and I wanted your opinions. I'm thinking it's too deep from...
So I am just about to put a 2002 5.3L Vortec in my '84 FJ60. I called up advance adapters and was a bit blown away by the cost of the adapters to get the engine hooked up to the stock 4 speed tranny. The quote was for: Mark's adapter, their Chevy v8 conversion kit, and a few other odds and...
So I am new to 60's. As I bought my first one last Saturday. I noticed that under my accelerator there is a bolt that sticks up out of the floor board that prevents me from pushing the "peddle to the metal" lol. Is this standard on all 60's? or is it a PO mod? it doesn't look factory to me...
SOLD :crybaby:
Well after separating from usmcruiserette and moving into an apartment building I am no longer able to wrench on my piggie to the degree that it needs. The apartment complex frowns heavily on any auto repairs beyond a break pad change. And my pig needs much more work on it than...
So i just bought an '84 FJ60 YESTERDAY. I got to work today and went to leave for lunch and I smelled burning rubber when i started it up. pop to hood to see my air pump has seized. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Over?!!! if I simply take the belt off will the truck operate fine until I can replace...

Well as most pig doors do my hinges sagged. And I didnt rebuild them and now my latch's are shot to hell. I dont dare open my drivers door as I'm afraid it wont close again. So here's my question. Do you guys have any suggestions on new latching mechanisms to put in the doors of my '76? I...

So I am getting ready to build up my 40 and need to sand blast my D60, 14bolt, engine ect.
My question is where do you guys purchase your sand for media blasting? I have found plastic beads, walnut shells, glass beads, ect, ect, ect but no sand. I want power and cheap lol.
