OK, I'm about to resto my '88 FJ62 with a color change to blue from gray. I know there have been numerous threads about the various Toyota blues, but I'd love to see some nice big photos of 60 series in both 8b7 and 8b2 and even 857 colors, in normal light. I know 8b7 is a popular color, but why...
Gonna start the resto of my '88 FJ62 and am looking for a clean LH front fender and driver's door shell. May also be interested in a clean set of OEM 15" chrome rims too.
Thanks in advance...
If you have them left...
I'm about to do a resto on my '88 and need a solid LH front fender and LH door shell. Do still have either of these?
Thanks in advance..
So what about a 350 v8 swap - how much trouble & $$$.
So if I did go all the way and make my 62 into a real tow vehicle, where is the best place to start looking at chevy v8s? Crate or used? Also, what to consider when mating to stock trans?
I've got a bone stock '88 FJ62 with around 210K on the engine, unknown mileage on the tranny (replaced that a year a half ago after it failed). I've recently started camping with an old fiberglass travel trailer weighing around 1600 lbs, and the truck seems to not like towing it at all. First...
Gonna Fix and Keep It
Thanks for you interest all, but I'm gonna fix and keep my rig. I did post in the tech section asking for opinions on doing the front axle seals, so if you've got any tips, they would be appreciated!
My local mechanic has told me my axle seals on my FJ62 are done and leaking. I'm thinking of doing the job myself, as many have said it is no big deal. I'm looking at the Super Knuckle rebuild kit at JT Outfitters:

So, three questions:
1: Since...
Well, after one last camping trip, the tranny on my '88 FJ62 died last Sunday. I've decided to part with it, as it needs to belong to somebody with more passion and skill (and time and tools) than I have. It is bone stock, Metallic Grey and very clean. I bought it in (and drove it back from)...
So the 4x4 push button on my '88 62 stays lit all the time, but since the hubs manually lock, what does this button actually do? Does it do any harm in leaving it alone or do I spend the $$ having the shop trace down the problem? I already had them look at it once and they reset it, but I...
I'm looking for some quality lug nuts for my '88 FJ62's OEM wheels. Bought some new ones last year from Cool Cruisers and they're already bleeding rust. Minnesota winters are tough on stuff like this and I'd like to get a set that is gonna last awhile. Anybody know of some good sources out...
