    Going to 16" wheels from 15" wheels for same tire OD...will handling noticeably improve?

    FREE  Graham, TX: 1970 FJ40 - Stock 3 Speed Transmission

    Stock 3 speed transmission out of 1970 FJ40. Removed it about 10 years ago when I did an SM465 swap and it has sat in the shop ever since. Complete minus shift stick. Drove it for a couple thousand miles before the swap so I know it works, though probably going through it isn't a bad idea. I've...

    Early FJ60 Power Steering Gearbox Upgrades?

    I have some play in the power steering gearbox of my '83 FJ60. Before I go down the path of rebuilding or replacing the stock style power steering gearbox, I started reading forum posts about power steering gearbox upgrades. It seems putting 80-series power steering gearboxes on later...

    I want to buy front and rear FJ60 door panels. Prefer brown, but the blue/gray scheme is ok, too. Must be original (not reupholstered). Just need one front and one rear. Doesn't matter left or right. I will be using these to make patterns to make new OEM-looking door panels. I am in...

    SOLD  Graham, Texas: 1970 FJ40

    The time has come to sell our 1970 FJ40. We love this rig but our family is growing and we are finding the FJ40 has become impractical for us and we drive our FJ60 much more frequently, so we have decided to sell it and put the money towards something else. Short description: recently...

    Fuel Tank Cleaning with Electrolysis FJ60

    Have a question for those who have used electrolysis to remove rust from steel parts, particularly those with closed interior access, such as fuel tanks. My FJ60 fuel tank had a thin layer of rust inside. Not bad, but enough that the loose rust powder was clogging the filter. I removed the...

    2F Broken Crankshaft!!

    Hello all, Just discovered the crankshaft in my 1970 FJ40 is broken. Heres the background: 1975 2F swapped in before I bought the truck five years ago. Previous owner said engine had been rebuilt recently. I had no reason to doubt him. Engine was very clean, ran great, and didn't leak or burn...

    FJ62 Alternator id?

    Hello all, need help identifying my alternator. Think it is not stock. 1988 FJ62, all stock (besides perhaps alternator and stereo head unit), 176k miles. Voltmeter started reading at top end of gauge (16v) and aftermarket stereo shut off (over voltage cutoff I think). Didn't put a multimeter...

    Stock FJ62 with 31" Hankook Dynapro MTs

    Hello all, just thought I'd share the pics of our stock '88 FJ62 with new 31x10.50x15 Hankook Dynapro MTs. Had 31" tires on already, but they were street tires and low on tread. I've had these same tires in a different size on another truck and was pleased with them. Cheaper than the BFG KM2s...

    FJ62 Transmission Success Story!! and kickdown cable how-to

    Howdy all. Little background: 1988 FJ62 172k miles, all stock. Only had it about 5k miles. Runs and drives great. About a month ago I noticed it started upshifting later and later in the rpm. It got progressively worse. After a few days it was basically undriveable because it would only shift...

    Wanted  A440F FJ62 Auto Trans, San Antonio, TX

    Looking for a used, but operating A440F for my 1988 FJ62. Ours is in the process of crapping out. I have a Vortec/4L60E swap in the future, but need the rig to be driving in the meantime. I figured it would be much cheaper to find a used trans rather than having mine rebuilt. I am located...

    FJ62 Thermostat Replacement

    Hello all, Figured I'd post this as encouragement to others about to or currently doing this. Started to replace the thermostat on the wife's '88 62 a few days ago. Of course it wasn't the several hour job it should have been. 2 of the 4 bolts holding the upper thermostat housing to the...

    For Sale  1982 FJ60 San Antonio, TX $3300

    Have had the epiphany (aka wife told me) that I have too many vehicles so this has to go. Got it with intentions of it becoming a camping/wheeling rig since it's not perfect but certainly not crap either. I'll attempt to describe all the good and bad. 1982 FJ60, 2F, 4 speed manual, 183,806...

    FJ60 carburetor rebuild...missing Pump Stopper and Spring

    Just picked up an '82 FJ60 that had been sitting since 2006. Was sitting with gas in the tank, lines, and carb. Drained and flushed tank, flushed lines, and now rebuilding carb. After seeing the carb, I'm thinking the previous owner messed with the carb and couldn't get it running and just...
