    Mechanic Work

    Hey, guys, it was great to finally meet several of you today. Everyone I spoke to was exceptionally friendly. I mentioned this to a couple of people this morning, but didn't get to talk to everyone about it. I've been working toward starting a hot rod shop (I use that term in the catch-all...

    Cobra Emblem

    Ever since I got my blue Land Cruiser, I haven't been able to get the idea out of my head that the color matches some of the Cobra toys from GI Joe. I'm not going to because it would be funny for about two minutes and then get old, but has anyone ever put the Cobra logo on the side of their blue...

    Feeler - OEM-Style Carpet Floormats

    I've seen very, very few 60s with the original floor mats. In fact, the '87 I just bought is the first one I've seen to still have them and until then, I had begun to wonder if Toyota even sold them with floor mats. Anyway, I bought the '87 to restore, but the floor mats are threadbare in some...

    Horn Button Losing Ground

    One of the 60s that I just bought has a malfunctioning horn. It only works when the steering wheel is straight through turned 90 degrees to the left. Pulled the steering wheel off last night thinking it was losing contact, but it isn't. Still got the switch contacts cleaned at least. It would...

    FJ60 Prices

    I had to put my project on hold for about a year while waiting on a shop to rent, and have been staying away from Land Cruiser stuff to avoid the temptation. Now that I'm getting ready to dive back into my project, I've been catching up on posts here and at ExPo. My question is, has the 60...

    (TN) 1987 FJ60 Engine & Trans Parts (including steering pump)

    Got my engine sold, now I just need to get rid of some components. Prices do not include shipping. Feel free to make offers. Worst I can do is say no. H42 transmission - I put about 1000 miles on it before starting my engine swap. Shifts smoothly and never made any noise. Includes flywheel and...

    1987 Hilux

    We just got this truck in at the junkyard I work at. It still has the original paperwork, jack, and a few other decent things that I thought some here might be interested in. Large parts (doors, transmission, engine, etc.) are listed at www.car-part.com (search by distance from 37892), so I'm...

    1987 FJ60 "Footloose"

    I finally get to start a build thread. I bought my 60 last year after I got screwed on a business deal, had some spare cash on hand, and was pissed off. Best angry decision I ever made! I parked it last year because I thought it had a bad head gasket, but found out this spring it wasn't. By that...

    '87 FJ60 2F & H42 Complete Take-Out [East TN]

    I suppose this is technically a feeler since it isn't out and ready yet, but it will be soon. I wanted to go ahead and post this to give anybody who may be interested a chance to ask me any pertinent questions before the drivetrain is pulled. I bought this Land Cruiser in August of '12. I'm...

    RHD Jeep PS Box

    I asked Georg about this, but he's never heard of it being done. Has anybody ever tried putting the power steering box off of a mail carrier Jeep Cherokee or Wrangler onto a right hand drive 40 series? I'd have to look at how the boxes are made, but it seems like it might be easier to do than...

    Any Six Speed Owners Here?

    Truth be told, I don't think I'll go this route because it will cost a few thousand more and still not get me as much power as a 5.3. That said, however, I would love to drop a Toyota drivetrain into my '87 FJ60 to keep it all Toyota and bragging rights. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who...

    Axle Shaft Diameter

    Does anyone know off the top of their head what the diameter of the front and rear axle shafts are? I've been looking, but can't find them listed anywhere.

    For Sale  Solid Axle Swap Kit $500 - '85 Truck - Winfield, TN 37892

    I work at a junkyard that has a few of these trucks, including one or two with a solid front axle. I've learned to hate using classified ads on forums due to the inordinate amount of tire kickers and people who waste my time, but if I can help someone get a SAS, I'll try. Kit includes: 1) '85...

    Column Shift?

    Has anyone put a column-shift steering column in their FJ without it looking horrible? When I do my 5.3 swap, I'm wanting to go with an NV4500, but if I do go automatic, I'd like to try and move the shifter up on the column and maybe the parking brake where the clutch pedal is. Free up some...

    Help - Wrong Alternator?

    Just like any other project, the more work I do to my 60, the more things I find that were done wrong. While replacing my radiator, I've been putting some other new stuff in while it's easy to get to. I had noticed that my alternator, which is a reman, has the voltage regulator facing the engine...

    How Often do Headlight Switches Break?

    Thought I had a bad dimmer switch and ended up getting the headlight stalk from the dealer (not the same part, I know), but I was able to clean the contacts and get it working like new. My question before I return the headlight switch is how often, if ever, do they tear up? With 254,000 miles on...

    Blower Motor Resistor

    Where is this at? I'm not seeing it in the service manual. 99.9% sure mine is faulty, but want to pull it and measure its resistance just to be sure before I order a new one.
