    Most difficult Job on a 60

    Ha I did literally burn mine out and cut the bolts with a grinder (didn't burn up the whole Cruiser though...)

    Low compression cylinders 1-3-5

    UPDATE A slipped timing belt was the issue. Right cam was several teeth behind the left. New tension spring is on the way. This is a part that I never thought of regularly replacing but after 35 years it must have gotten too weak

    Low compression cylinders 1-3-5

    My 1988 V6 Pickup has been running rough for a bit now. I had assumed a burned exhaust valve somewhere, but a compression test suggests something else. Cylinders 2-4-6 are reading about 155 (2), 165 (4), and 170 (6) psi, but the 1-3-5 side are all almost exactly 112psi. Would this be a head...

    False Indication From BRAKE and Battery Lights?

    Alternator, both my '88 pickup and '89 Cruiser behave that way

    New Clutch Master Cylinder or Adjust?

    I did a 5 speed swap about 10 years ago now and the master cylinder I put in (Aisin as well) failed about a year ago. It had those symptoms plus started to leak into the cabin eventually, so I knew it was the master and not the slave. Have you tried bleeding at the slave to make sure there isn't...

    How Tough is a 60 Series?

    Don't forget the 62 has 4.11 axles compared to 3.70 for the 60. With an H55F in first in low range it feels like you can climb a tree...

    Felt knuckle seals caught fire

    Seems strange both calipers would seize at once unless pressure in the master was building up. Sounds like a full brake system inspection/repair is in order especially if the brake light has been on for awhile (parking brake indicator and low brake fluid level is the same light). Oooo looks like...

    FJ60 Gas Tank Recall Update: January 2020

    I think car companies are required by federal law to honor recalls regardless of the age of the vehicle (???)

    FJ60 Oil Filter

    That's why I started using Baldwins, I have heard the anti-drainback actually works since they're designed to be used "standing up" and the Wix designed to hang down

    FJ60 Oil Filter

    I use Baldwin BT251 on my 3FE, it is quite a bit taller than the stock filter

    89 FJ62 Whining Noise during Acceleration

    Mine did that I finally figured out that the idler shaft in the transfer was worn out.

    Is my starter about to fail?

    Probably time for a starter rebuild (new plunger and contacts).

    '88 brake lines

    Thanks I have fabricated brake lines in the past, I was just looking for a short cut!

    '88 brake lines

    I have an '88 long bed 4x4 with very rusty brake lines that have started to leak. Does anyone offer kits to redo the whole shabang?

    H55 vs 4-speed ??

    I use my H55 as a "four speed", usually start in 2nd gear (30 inch tires) and can cruise at 80 on Montana interstates. But, it is nice to have the super low first gear option.

    1989 FJ62 not getting any power to starter

    Check all the wires coming off of the positive battery terminal for breaks and corrosion. That has gotten me a couple of times over the years.
  17. AK RIG

    Please help FJ62 clicks but won't crank over

    Make sure all of the wires coming off of the positive battery terminal are not loose, broken and/or overly corroded. I have done some unnecessary starter work before when it was just a problem with a loose wire at the battery terminal.

    Original Equipment (OE) Tires for the FJ60

    My 1988 pickup had Desert Duelers 225/75r15 so I would guess '88 Cruisers had those too. My original spare is still under the bed.

    Clutch cylinder question

    Thanks for the input, I have some extra holes already due to rust, I won't drill any more...

    Clutch cylinder question

    I did an H55 swap into my '89 FJ62 about 10 years ago now. A couple of weeks ago my clutch cylinder failed. I ordered a new Toyota part, and out of ignorance, laziness, or most likely both I randomly ordered one for an '85 FJ-60 since I had to give a year. It turns out my truck is set up for an...
