    '00 Tundra Brake fix info needed

    I'm putting Tundra brakes on my Tacoma, during the research I found out that sometime around the 03 models release Toyota upgraded the calipers and pads. Apparently the new calipers are quite a bit bigger. Supposed to fix the problem.

    FJ 60 + non us lo-ratio 4 speed

    The serviced/cleaned H41 from SOR is what caught my attention, that's $1000 less than the H55. I'm doing the gearboxes first cause my t-case is broken, and I really miss driving my cruiser. I also have an issue in the kitchen, when I say something is gonna cost $800 the reaction is much easier...

    FJ 60 + non us lo-ratio 4 speed

    Love the pic! Thats what I want for sure, but the budget is getting streched pretty thin already (I just put an order in for a new YZ450). To all with the 5 spd: Is the OD useful with stock R&Ps and 33s? The answer to that is critical to my plans, I dont want to spend more on the 5 spd that will...

    why my cruiser was running like crap...

    For those DUI wires I'd just go to the auto parts stores and check out the various GM HEI wire sets. From what I've seen the DUI is a copy of the HEI, and it looks like the HEI wires will work. Look close though.

    FJ 60 + non us lo-ratio 4 speed

    One of the members here told me he is using the setup I'm asking about on his 84 (I think) FJ60, so that setup would work on my 85. I'm hoping to do it without moving my shifter and working the D-shafts though. I'm kinda surprised that there isn't more interest in this combo, but with the 5...

    why my cruiser was running like crap...

    Don't feel too bad, I once took a truck to an alignment shop because it was pulling to the right, after a full alignment (80$), they found that I had screwed up the e-brake cable on, you guessed it, the right side and it was dragging the right rear brake. At least you found it yourself, I had to...

    FJ 60 + non us lo-ratio 4 speed

    Very Interesting, thanks schaats. I gotta see if I can find this H41 trans, and compare $s with the H55. If the 4 spd can bolt in like the 5 spd, and save a thou or so, I'll live without the 5th gear. This plan could save even more $ than just the trans, because every time I ran gearing #s with...

    FJ 60 + non us lo-ratio 4 speed

    Could I use the spacer from my units to eliminate the d-shaft work? Or is the interface different? No biggie on the d-shaft work, its pretty cheap, but the t-case shifter seems like it might be a pain. I'll go take a look and see whats involved. Where are the 4 spds available besides SOR?

    FJ 60 + non us lo-ratio 4 speed

    Will the lo-ratio 4 speed fit my 4/85 FJ60? Seems like it could be a budget friendly way to get a better first gear, and combined with 33" tires it would be OK on the road. Anyone done this? Impossible? Impractical? The dumbest idea since prohibition? just checking all my options before I...

    '85 FJ60 Stalling endlessly

    Have you checked your valve adjustment? Compression? If you are confident that your tune is ok then I'd start checking a little deeper, if your valves are too tight they will burn, eliminating the combustion seal and reducing power. Too loose, and you dont get the full charge into the cylinder...

    where to get add-a-leaf

    I cant suggest a good source, but I can help a little with the lean thing. When you get your AALs, look at your truck and note the low side. Then carefully match up the AALs and find the tallest of them. There will probably be a little bit of difference in the leaves, production tolerances...

    FJ62 tow a boat?

    That 25' twin engine will kill your cruiser, that's a big boat. The second boat you posted would probably be ok to tow if your 62 is in good shape, has a tranny cooler, etc.... be careful though, if you haven't towed much before, even a small trailer can be a handful in bad conditions (up or...

    FJ62 tow a boat?

    How much does the boat weigh? Instinct tells me that your 62 is way too small for that boat (twin V-8s!!!) I think the tow rating is around 3500-4000 lbs, but I havent checked lately. I see a 3/4 ton truck in your future if you buy that boat.

    steering stabilizer, cheapest best one

    By the blurry appearance of your steering wheel at speed. Its kinda like unbalanced tires, you know when you have the problem.

    5spd conversion, new-rebuilt-used?

    Thats a lot of votes for new trans/self rebuild t-case. What makes a case ruined? Mine has no cracks that i have found yet, I'll probably pull the gearboxes soon and look closer look. The bad noise has only been driven on for 3 or 4 miles so maybe the case isnt hurt too bad. cruiserdan has...

    5spd conversion, new-rebuilt-used?

    I'm looking at my options on a 5spd conversion for my FJ60. I need transfer case work also, mine wont hold in lo-range and has a bad noise (sounds like bad bearings, grinds, pops and clunks). I like the idea of a new transmission, but a rebuilt would be OK too. SOR has rebuilt 5spd/tcase combos...

    Newb intro + 1st question

    I PMd cruiserdan, good prices on the 5spd. He doesnt have new/rebuilt t-cases though, how hard are they to rebuild? or, any suggested sources for a rebuilder? I'm not afraid to take on a project like this if doesn't take a lot of expensive/specialized tools. Money is my guide on rebuilding...

    Newb intro + 1st question

    Hey cruiser folks, newbie here. leaky60. I've got an 85 FJ60 that needs some help. 155k, stock, good running 2F with a bad t-case, noisy trans, and oil falling out of the bottom of it as fast as I put it in the top. I've had it for about 5 years, first 3 it was my dd, then 2 years parked/broken...
