    Selling my 1990 FJ62. 219,000 miles. I've owned it since 2010. Prior to that my understanding is it spent most of its life with the original owner in GA. The Good OME Medium installed in 2012. Upgraded wiring harness and new headlights installed in the past year or so. In 2014 a used...

    CSF Radiators

    I've seen some debate on the forum as to the correct part # CSF radiator to get for an FJ62. I can say that Part No. 2709 is NOT the right number. Here are photos of the CSF No. 2709 I received today - they match the drawing on CSF's site here. The filler neck is on the opposite side from...

    Fusible link help

    This morning when I went to start the truck I heard a click and the whole thing went dead. No lights, dash, stereo, windows, locks, etc. If I unplug and plug back in the fusible link, everything comes back. But if I go to start it again, same symptom. Click and everything dies. I don't quite...

    Inner Lever Dropped Into TC

    So, the high and low inner lever dropped itself into my transfer case when I was reassembling the linkage. I didn't realize that was a risk. Oops. I'm thinking I can remove the rear case while it's still on the truck to slide the linkage back up. Is there anything I need to watch out for? I'm...

    How to clean distributor to fix resistance?

    This is my distributor. It measures 360 ohms at the NE pickup cool and 181 ohms at the G pickup coil. Spec is 140-180 at both. When I opened it up there was a small amount of water pooled around the NE coil. I'm hoping I can clean it out to get my resistance back in spec, but my question is...

    Got the specs on the idle pulley bolt?

    So I'm jazzed because there is a light at the end of the tunnel on this rebuild. I'm snugging down belts but the adjusting bolt on the idle pulley decides to twist off and end things. Does anyone know the specs of that bolt? I'm mostly wondering about length - It's an M8 x 1.25. I just need...

    Any welders out there? Need some tips.

    I'm a total amateur welder and self-taught through youtube, couple textbooks, and trial and error. I can get two pieces of metal to stick and with some grinding it'll look halfway decent. Need some help from the experts out there. I keep getting these little craters in my welds, almost like...

    Engine Pull Notes

    Just a few notes on my recent engine pull for those searching in the future. I removed the radiator and hood support (but not the a/c condenser) and pulled the engine/tran/transfer combo as one piece. It was close and I don't see how you'd do it without a load leveler (more on that below). Be...

    Pull the transmission too?

    Looking for opinions on whether to take the transmission/transfer out along with the engine when I pull it next week. Looking through old posts it seems like people have gone both ways but the general recommendation is to pull the whole enchilada. Am I setting myself up for an ever bigger pain...

    Do I need a new rear main seal?

    Changed the oil today - went from 10W-30 dino, "whatever was on sale and I was in a hurry oil," to 10W-30 Mobil 1 high mileage full synthetic. As I'm replacing the oil I notice a puddle under my transmission. About half a quart leaked out - I think through the seams between the engine block/bell...

    Bottom Waterhouse Issues

    Does the bottom waterhouse for an FJ62 have a notch taken out of it by the passenger side rear bolt? And is that bolt a different size than the other three? Went to change the thermostat today but the threading in the bottom waterhouse for that rear passenger side bolt is stripped. The bolt...

    Good alignment shop around DC?

    Can anyone recommend a good place to get an alignment around DC? Just rebuilt the frontend of my 62, need it aligned and want to talk caster with someone knowledgeable. I live in Capitol Hill. Oh, and I've been out of town for every single one, but one day will make the monthly get together...

    Missing plate from transmission housing adaptor?

    I'm wondering if I'm missing an access plate of sorts from the bottom of my transmission housing adaptor. I have a rectangular hole surrounded by a couple of bolt holes where it looks like a cover is supposed to go. Looked through the FSM but didn't find this plate on a diagram or mentioned...
