Last time I filled my AC system, I filled it through the high pressure side with the can upside down / engine off i.e. filling it with the liquid v.s. the gas.
I noticed my AC wasn't as cold as I know it can be.
No other variables, following the FSM step by step, outside of the brand of R12...
I've been running AT General Tires on my cruisers, 31's on my FJ62 with a 2inch or so OME lift.
Its time to replace the tires and I was thinking of upgrading to 33x10.5x15.
Is there a big difference between these sizes when it comes to on road / highway performance, acceleration, braking etc...
Hey guys, I just lost a caliper bolt on some corrugation. Anyone know the size of that fella? Or is that not something I'll find at a parts/hardware/tractor store.
I've got a BC/DC redarc charger that takes care of my house battery. It charges at 25ah.
I find my alternator getting hot around 260 Fahrenheit(could be normal) after 30 min of charging, but its also making noise, kinda like the belt is slipping on the alternator itself.
Voltage is staying...
I dropped my fuel tank (40 gal. aftermarket) to install a new fuel sending unit + fuel gauge.
I used the original fuel sending unit wires and spliced in the new fuel sending unit to wire it to the new aftermarket fuel gauge.
After putting everything back together, the cruiser won't start, its...
So I was on a week long offroading trip here in Utah and some in Wyoming a little bit ago.
Overall my FJ62 did phenomenally, especially since it was a 100F plus every day.
The AT did struggle here and there with the heat and it needs some attention before my next trip.
A few facts:
- I have...
I had to drive from Southern Utah to Salt Lake City today for work and decided to take the FJ62.
It was around 100 degrees today, AC blasting, engine pretty hot, lots of shifting to 3rd because of wind and hills.
2 hours in all of a sudden the engine shut off. I pulled to the side, checked...
Hey guys,
I just failed smog (California) because my gas tank wouldn't maintain pressure...
I dropped the gas tank (40 Gal aftermarket) since just by smelling, it seemed to come from the tank itself and the hoses seemed fine after spraying them with soapy water while the tank was under...
Hey Guys,
My AC has always worked pretty well. Right now the magnetic clutch isn't engaging and after going through the FSM, most likely its because of not having enough oil in there which doesn't give it the pressure it likes to have. I can't see anything through the little sightglass.

Hey guys,
I installed a new fuel filter (OEM), with the new copper washers and it squirting gas like crazy on the "Out" side of the filter.
I've tried using the "In" bolt on the "out", same issue.
I've tried new washers, double washer.
I've tried to twist the gasoline hose that goes to the...
Hey Guys,
I'm trying to build some reliability back into my FJ62 for summer Utah adventures.
Replacing some accessories, gaskets, filters, fluids, knuckles job, dynamating, cleaning etc.
I ran into a couple of questions and would love your input as I progress.
1. The air intake chamber...
Happy new year All,
I'm giving my 62 some loving, new parts, fresh electrical connections, dynamating the interior, knuckle rebuild and all that good stuff.
It was running pretty decently before parking it. Acceleration was fine, driving 80 with ease, don't think I had any massive vacuum...
Hey guys,
Asking price is $16K for below. OBO
I built this Land Cruiser out as my long distance tourer not that long ago, however, sadly I'm moving out of the states for a while for work.
This Landcruiser is registered in California, recently smogged.
Its currently located in Las Vegas though...
Hey guys, little stuck with something.
Out of the blue my 93 FJ80 won't start. I get the click and clunk but it won't crank.
I took the starter off and bench tested it. It pushes out the starter sprocket and spins just fine.
I cleaned up all the contacts including the mating surface, but...

Symptoms are:

Hey All,
I'm a FJ62 owner in the US, but i'm in Guadajalara for a while for my Business and just purchased this 1993 with 170K miles to explore the area with. (Great timing with there being a gas shortage here)
Absolutely love it, needs a lot of work.. hasn't seen a lot of love.

Hey guys,
Has anyone recently done the Point Sublime Trail at the North Rim ?
I'd like to try and get there this weekend, but I'll be with my little family and don't want the offroading to be to crazy/long. If I air down, can it be done in an hour?
Thanks!
