    Original 55 Spec Sheet Needs Owner!

    All, I have in my possession the original vehicle specification and suggested retail sheet from an FJ-55 imported through New Orleans. It fell out of a book while doing some reading on the toilet! I would like to re-mate it with current owner of the vehicle it describes. The ink has faded...

    Help Adding Heritage to the 80 series

    Around my windshield where the gasket meets the paint I've got a couple surface rust spots taking hold. I am planning on addressing this sometime this year with new windshield, gasket, etc. I had the thought of adding the heritage of the FJ40 white top scheme in a durabek/herculiner...

    F.O.R 3" Castor

    Just replaced the tie rod ends and went to the alignment shop. In August I purchase Frankie's 3" lift. He left it up to me to decide on 2degree or 3 or 4 (I can't remember) degree castor correction bushings. Due to his experience and input on the larger correction I decided on the 2. He...

    Blackstone Report

    I'm pretty diligent about changes between 3-3500 miles. It looks like I will stretch these out now. My question- Should I bother switching to synth as all this engine has seen is dino its entire life?

    We've gotta Jumper!

    For those of you who have been around long enough to recall member "docmallory", I purchased his rig a couple years ago. I'm just about to pull the trigger on lift and tires.

    Front Driveline "Chirp"

    Sounds as if some kind of particle lodged itself in between the Sleeve yoke and dust cover. First noticed few months ago. Greased joints and shaft and it went away. Its back. Coming from the front propeller shaft where it meets the t-case. Occurs mostly when in Reverse. Lifted the front...

    Front Bearings

    T-Case Yoke Etc.

    Hey all, I took the cruiser to have the T-case gasket replaced for the rear. It was throwing oil on the exhaust, got fed up with it. Mechanic says there is something a lot worse going on. I know the oil has some metalic flakes in it. I changed the fluid last fall. I never found any...

    Is this for Real?

    I'm sure some of you have seen it on ebay. 87 w/38,000 original miles. How do I verify this. I thought all stock wheels were chrome. Why the change with so few miles? I've got an 87 that I would be willing to turn into parts vehicle for this one. Just too much rust. I could use some...

    Leak from Gas Fill Tube

    8760-- Filled her up today. Went out to grab something and noticed real strong gas smell towards rear. Looked at my gas door and saw it leaking out. First I thought the pump filled it way up and with the sun heating it up, the gas expanded. I started it up and let it run for a little...

    FJ60 Performance?

    I have owned my 87FJ60 for close to a year. I have done some investigating on the history and came up with nothing. Can anyone tell me why the word "Performance" is on the top driver's side tailgate. Thanks :confused:
