Posting this for a friend who is not on the forum. He's located in Chattanooga, TN and is on the hunt for an 80 series to slowly build into a solid driver and light weekend warrior. The biggest thing he's trying to avoid is rust. Aside from that, considering just about anything in a wide range...
My throttle does not want to come all the way back when I take my foot off. The return spring is in place at the throttle. Maybe I need a stronger spring? Is there another spring at the pedal? I have to either give the pedal a tap or actually pull it back the last little bit to get down to...
Interested in a possible trade situation for a 100 or LX470. Link below for my Mud listing.

Edit: Open to trades for the right Toyota, GMC, Chevy trucks or 100 series cruiser.
Just closed on our house and need to fund some renovations. This has been a fun truck, but one of the cruisers has to go. I purchased the truck in Feb. 2021. Flew out to Oregon to pick her up, drove down to...
Looking for some suggestions on how to get the smoothest finish on my turd of an FJ62. The PO had rattle canned over half of the body to hide scratches from the trail. I’m a noob went it comes to detailing so please excuse my methods up to this point. All I’m trying to accomplish is smoothing...
Did something stupid a while back and looking for a shop that can massage all or most of this out. A good old school metal/body guy or even a very experienced PDR guy would work. Any recommendations greatly appreciated.
Replaced my front motor mounts about 5 years ago. The other day I heard the fan hit the shroud again when accelerating from a stop. It also pulled enough to rip apart my half-assed splice job on my fuel cut-off/idle solenoid. What’s the deal? Bought them from Cruiser Corps but they were OEM I...
Is there anyway to tell a 60 and 62 hatch apart? I came across a replacement hatch for my white 60 online. I need to figure out if it’s 033 or 045 white as they are different shades between the 60 and 62. The seller isn’t sure what it came off of.
I’m hoping to find a white (033) FJ60 hatch in good shape and original paint. FJ62 white is a different shade (045) and and won’t work. Will drive or arrange shipping for the right one. Message me with what you have!
Paint and body guys! Well… I did a stupid thing. I left my hatch open while I was backing out of my “driveway” in an alley that’s really tight and smashed it on the neighbors garage… my heart sank. All but one area of the truck is original paint and I really want to keep it that way. It’s caved...

Did a little bit of searching and didn't find quite what I was looking for. My passenger side rear window will roll down but not up. Took the whole regulator out of the door for testing. Tried using a known good window switch and a known good regulator/motor and got the same result. So the issue...
I’m looking for a gray seat bottom from a FJ62 or late (1987) model FJ60 in gray. Can be either driver or passenger as long as the fabric isn’t torn. Vinyl sides can be torn. I know it’s getting harder and harder to find, but I’m on a budget and not dishing out big money for new fabric.
Send me...
In search of the following in near Dallas/Fort Worth:
- Late model 60/62 seat with good cloth. Driver or passenger side
- Gray seat belts and buckles. Locking mechanism needs to be fully functional.
- Gray E-brake boot
- A440F shifter base with OVERDRIVE decal still in place
- FJ62 rear...
Been a long while since I’ve posted on here. I’m working on an issue with @swingoftheaxe ’s FJ62 that we picked up a couple months ago.
I’ll start at the beginning - a couple weeks ago, his brake lights were not turning off. I met up with him and started thumping around at the brake light...
I'm taking an empty trailer up to Las Vegas to pick up a FJ62 and bringing it back to San Antonio. Willing to go a little out of the way if needed. I'm leaving San Antonio this Friday afternoon (7/24) around 3-4 PM. Planning a quick turn around so should be back early next week (7/27 - 7/29).
Anyone know of a solid cruiser shop in Las Vegas that could do a vehicle inspection? A buddy is looking to buy a 62 in LV and we’re in Texas. We’re also willing to have an experienced individual to look it over as well
A little more info: We are willing to fly and drive the 62 back, but are...
Well. I’m not good at working from home. I get bored easily and let my mind run a little wild... it all started with a conversation with my wife about needing a bigger vehicle. We have 3 kids and 2 large dogs that travel with us. We’ve been making it work with my 60 and her ‘05 4Runner, but we...
