Brian Corsetti has it now. It was running great before the wreck.
Years back I gave it OM Emu springs and if my memory is worth a damn..new OM Emu shocks and steering dampener last summer. Only other "mod" is a set of PIA fog lights. I did my best over the years to maintain it.
I think the...
Me too. I'm taking over the original radio and upholstery plus some random other parts and 30 years of receipts to Brian. Plus it'll give me a chance to look at their inventory as I'm in the market for a new cruiser. Might be time to go back to a FJ40
Yeah she was literally flying. First car she hit, she knocked the engine completely out of it. All the other drivers were taken to the ER. So far as I know, nobody was killed.

This thread is just another example of how awesome IH8MUD and it's members are.
Tonight my 62 did the flashing brake, alternator, AT Temp lights with the buzzing under the dash.
A quick search led me to this thread.. saving hours of troubleshooting.
Tomorrow I get a new alternator.
Thanks to...
Thanks for everyone's thoughts and advice. So it turned out to be easier than I thought.
After they told me they wanted to total it for less than $3600, I sent AAA Texas a PDF with all the current SoCal FJ62 Craigslist listings. Told them I would not accept a total. They said ok we will take...
The other guy was in a stock Chevy Trailblazer. His bumper wrecked his radiator and grill and headlight bits all over. He left when we called the police . Bumper and misc. front end wreckage dragging the ground and streaming antifreeze. But he did seem a bit stoned. Both pillars are straight...
