    License plate lights wiring diagram for FJ60

    x2 on checking the wire that runs through the rubber boot at the bottom of the tailgate. I had same problem. The wire had got pinched 1 too many times, and came apart inside the boot. Remove the carpet from the tailgate. Remove the screws for 1 of the backing plates (there are a few, I...

    Fuel Pressure Regulator

    Hmm. Shouldn't be that hard. I remember removing a bracket first to get at the 2 bolts that hold the FPR in place. I can look tmw if you need.

    need help - was on its side

    Alright. A scratch resulting from going in the ditch or other related accident. Geez. Thanks for the help. Checked the other fluids: tranny fluid, coolant. I looked underneath for gear oil from the x-fer case and diffs, but couldn't see any. Looks ok, and it's running pretty good!

    need help - was on its side

    Here in Colorado, you go in the ditch, and if there's even a scratch, you get a ticket for "Improper Mountain Driving." $42 and 2 points. It's the points that suck.

    need help - was on its side

    She's fine. Thanks. Shook up, but fine. I think the worst part was she got a ticket from state patrol. The wife said she was trying to avoid another car coming the other way going down the middle of the road. That guy did stop, helped her out of the car, and left before the trooper got...

    Whew. Thanks for the reply. Gotta go clean everything else up, get it to a body shop, and go skiing!

    need help - was on its side

    Hey I could use some help, but it's with my wife's Ranger. I don't know who else to ask at the moment. She slid into the ditch this afternoon:whoops: , and the truck lay on its side for 2 hours before the tow truck came. When they pulled it out, it wouldn't turn over. So, I pulled the...

    Rear Window Latch

    Sounds like they're not aligned correctly. Try moving the striker plate towards the rear of the truck (need large screwdriver) so the catch can engage properly. Give that a try.

    1st long road test, not so hot, or was it

    Well, the cruiser should've made the trip without problem. Be careful about letting it overheat: getting too hot can lead to major problems, e.g. warped head. So check the quality of your coolant. Also do a flush and fill of your cooling system. I would also check the fan clutch, a common...

    4 cruisers picture.

    Parts are a pain to find for my Rocky. I've got some binding going on in the transfer case in 4wd, so basically it's a 2wd car for us. I figure the car is worth $500 tops, so my plan is to drive it into the ground. I'll change the oil in it, but that's about all the money I'll put into it...

    where to buy Factory Service Manual

    I recently downloaded the '90 manuals from techinfo.toyota. They are for the 3fe. Under many categories, there's a "wagon" manual, that's actually for the FJ80. For $10, you get access for 1 day. If you don't mind sitting at your computer and downloading them one at a time (it's divided into...

    Out with the 225/75R15, in with the 30" Revos (probably)

    I know there are some good reviews out there, but I had them on my wife's ranger and on an Exploder at work, and I think they sucked. Not good in the snow, and they barely lasted 30,000 miles. I think it was only 20,000 for the work truck. The mechanic at work put them on his Mitsubishi suv...

    driving in snow

    The snow you're getting at the moment is wet and heavy with a high water content. That makes for the most difficult driving conditions. Keep the wheels moving, and go easy on BOTH pedals. A lot depends on the tires, both how much tread depth and type of tread. Mud tires are crap in this kind...

    manuals from toyota techinfo

    It is very lengthy. Unfortunately, the download site is divided into sections. So, you can look up "suspension and axle" and then sub-category "free wheel hub." And then you get pages SA-7 through SA-13. I wound up with about 150 pdf files that cover everything from general maintenance to...

    manuals from toyota techinfo

    I spent $10 and a couple hours at the keyboard downloading the manuals from techinfo.toyota.com. They seem pretty complete. But can someone tell me, are these the actual FSM's? (downloaded the '90 manual for my '89 fj62)

    Belt noises

    What do the belts look like? If they're cracked, or threads hanging out the sides, then replace. It's not too hard to do. Even I did it! Think of it as cheap insurance. Hang on to the old ones for emergency spares.

    Hard Stutter During Idle FJ62

    I've been chasing a similar stutter, but I've got a high idle issue to go with it. I've checked everything everyone's listed above, but no luck yet. If you find a solution, please post it up!

    3FE rough idle

    I tried using the search function, but couldn't come up with a definitive answer. Most everything I've read points to the EGR, but I was hoping someone could say "Yeah that's it" before I drop $140 on a new one. It warms up normal. Thank god, 'cause we've got COLD mornings here in the high...

    3FE rough idle

    Title says most of it. Ever since I replaced the FPR, it idles high, about 1000, and a little rough, like it's missing a bit. For engine codes, I'm either getting "1" (normal) or "11". I've gone around and checked for vacuum leaks, and can't find anything. I checked the EGR: when I push up...
