    Radiator or Water Pump or ??

    My 85’ FJ-60 is beginning to run a little warm. I suspected the fan clutch, so I replaced it. I also changed out the thermostat and flushed the coolant with no effect. I suspect it’s likely the radiator but wanted some input before I ordered a new one. If it’s cool outside (below 55), it...

    Radiator or Water Pump or ? Help...

    Thanks for all the quick responses. A quick note; The temp runs warm whether the heat is on or not and this makes no difference (one of my 1st tests). The only time the temp does not get really high is on a cool morning or. It seems to run a hair cooler. on the other hand, I notice that...

    Radiator or Water Pump or ? Help...

    Ive got a near stock 1985 FJ60 with the stock 2F and about 135k miles on her. Over the course of the last year I notice that it is running warmer and warmer. It hasnt over heated yet but as time passes, and summer is in full swing here in Florida, its gotten uncomfortably close. I replaced...

    Chevy Add-A-Leaf on an FJ60??

    I know, I know....Why would you even do such a thing? I got an add-a-leaf long style) for a 73-87 Fullsize Chevy / GMC Straight axle...Did some research at a few manufacturers websites to compare it to the one they call for the FJ60and it would seem that it should fit. The length is 42", width...

    Why FJ60 Springs are so expensive???

    I've read through alot of the suspension threads recently and done a lot of searching on-line regarding a suspension lift for my FJ60 and I am amazed at how much a suspension lift costs for one. This may sound like a silly and maybe even pointless question but can someone explain to me why they...

    Clutch problems after wheeling

    Yeah, It will not go into gear unless its not running. If I start it in gear with the clutch depressed, it starts to drive just as if I had tthe clutch out. Ironicaly, it drives fine and there is no slippage of the clutch while driving, but depressing the clutch basically has no effect. I...

    22-RE in an FJ60?

    Ok, ok, ok...Your probably right...After looking at where the 22RE makes its torque compared to the 2F, it would be a snail...I would say this though: I buddy of mine has a late model 4wd 4 Runner with the 3RZ-Fe (2.7)..He's done a few mods to the engine (cam, headers, exhaust, a chip of some...

    22-RE in an FJ60?

    This may sound ridiculous, but has anyone ever heard of or considered putting Toyota's 22RE into an FJ-60 or FJ-40?? The 22-RE only puts out about 17 less horsepower and foot pounds of torque than the 2F...I owned an 85' 4Runner and with the added accessories, it weighed as much or more than my...

    Towing question

    I Recently purchased an 85 FJ60 (4 speed manual). Its stock minus an add-a leaf all the way around and some 32" tires. I pull a 24' Camper with My Ford Expedition. Yesterday the tranny in my Ford died (will be rebuilding soon) which brings me to my question. Any opinions on towing a 24'...
