Now that both of my FJ60's are gone its time to clear out my stash of parts I've accumulated (not too many, but here they are). Shipping cost not included. Will post pics from my phone right after.
BMW E90 seats - black - $400 (just needs the side bolster stiched up....my uhpholsterer said it...
So I seem to have misplaced the fasteners for the interior kick panels (by the driver/passenger's feet). Anyone know the PN and where to get them....having trouble tracking them down. Thanks.
As stated in the title...feel like i should be in a special needs class. Concerned Im doing to damage the window seal trying to slide it back in. Was starting it at an angle where the black fixed trim piece is. Is there some simple trick I'm not aware of?
I just picked my rear seat up from being reupholstered. When I first went to install the seatback I realized they had flipped the latches and had them on the opposite sides. Flipped them back, but now the control on the driver's side isn't disengaging the passenger any longer. Does anyone have...
So I took my 77 out for a short drive yesterday. Everything seemed perfect -temp, oil pressure, volts.....about a mile from my house had a really loud backfire (literally sounded like a gun). Then the engine died. It wouldn't restart with the key, but I was on a slight downhill and just popped...
Well, I've been hoping for things to turn around.....but right now it's not looking that way. I'm putting all three of my land cruisers up for sale. This one I was super excited for (started the process back in Nov of 2020. Here's the build thread....plus the key callouts.
2F with 193K miles...
Anyone know of a good mechanic/radiator shop in Palm Springs? Cruiser had been running fine….then the radiator blew. Know I’m stuck for the day, but hoping someone knows a good shop in a 200 mile radius (hopefully east of me) that I can have it towed to.
Picked up my FJ60 from Trail Tailor yesterday. Looks incredible, handling is amazing…engine sounds great.
Here’s the weird stuff. When I come off the freeway and put it into neutral it just dies. (On the off-ramp) first time it wouldn’t start (or make any noise at all). Made it to valley...
So head out to the garage this morning and see this nice little red puddle on the garage floor.
Has a 5.3 Vortec
Pulled the skid plate to see if I can find the leak. At first I thought it was the lower radiator hose since it's pretty wet from the top part....but then when I looked around more...
Like the title says - I'll be flying up to Trail Tailor in Redding CA to pic up my new FJ60, then drive it back to McKinney, TX. If there's a different place I should post this please let me know.

I have a feeling I'll end up regretting this. Has about 52K on the vortec. Looking for $45K.

My eyes are to the point where trying to use my phone for directions is not the safest of practices. I miss the large screen I had in my commuter car when life was normal and I drove into the office. (2016 GTI). I've tried searching and the only thing I've come across is a pioneer unit, but it...
Which fabric did you go with and do you recommend it? (or is there one you wish you'd purchased instead).
Need to place the order for the seats.
Leather - probably the nicest, but expensive.
Vinyl + Texas heat....not sure it's a great combination
Cloth - Is it durable enough...easy to clean...
Need some help here. I have a 10/85 build being completed right now. I need to order some corbeau seats (haven't been able to find some decent 3-seires seats). Question I have, Corbeau's website has the two different brackets, one for JF60's with the cutoff being 4/86. I thought he seat pan...
Words I never thought I'd say. Bought it in 2013 and spent the next two years restoring it. Vortec by Torfab, new paint...well, just see the list below Still need to make sure I've captured everything.
Why am I even thinking of doing this? Several reasons.
1. Moved back to TX and my wife had...
So I'm planning on redoing the seals on my engine and oil pan soon. Have had some slow leaks that I should have already addressed. One question I thought of was for the oil pump. I've had zero issues, but was curious to people's thoughts on whether that's something good to replace while in...
