I currently have 33 x 10.50 x 15 on OEM FJ40 steel wheels on my 1983 FJ60. I am due for new tires before long and I am currently on a quest to improve the road handling. Currently doing knuckle rebuild, power steering gear box rebuild, steering shaft u-joints, and new tie rod ends. I am also...
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...
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 am working with a reputable classic car upholstery shop on making a set new OEM-spec door panels for my FJ60. They will have the OEM brown vinyl and OEM brown/tan cloth. New fiberboard backing panel with the proper slots for the plastic clips. Will reuse the curved steel piece at the top...
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...
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...
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...
Selling our '88 FJ62. Moving to Oregon and have an FJ40 and another old car so have decided to not take this with us. Basic info: 177k miles, all stock, lots of recent maintenance, clean inside and out, runs, and drives well. Please see my craigslist ad: 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62. I am...
Reassembling my 2F and went to install freshly machined crank tonight and crank hung up on thrust bearing (#3). New crank is from a '79 2F and is .030" over. Old crank was .020" over. Block is 11/75. I bought .030" main bearings from SOR that are for 9/73-10/84. Old thrust bearings (upper...
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...
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...
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...
Troubleshooting dome light not working in "ON" position and discovered there is not continuity between battery ground and the mounting screw holes that through dome light screws thread into. Made a direct check between batt (-) and the screw holes in the ceiling and no dice. I verified...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Looking for an "accelerator pump discharge weight" for my FJ60 Aisan 2 bbl carb. Rebuilding the carb in my new-to-me and previously-not-running FJ60 and it was missing the piece. Does anyone have one from an old junk carb laying around, or leftover from a carb swap? Or, an entire carb core...
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...
