I am starting this thread to document the rebuild of this engine for @Dr Gil. He wants to keep his 96 Cruiser running for as long as possible and felt is was time to get a fresher engine. His is still running strong but wanted to get ahead of if. He purchased an engine out of a 94 Cruiser...
I have been searching and can't find exactly what needs to be done so if there are any threads please link it and I will follow.
I know the heads are interchangeable with just slight differences in casting. The big difference I have found is the upper oil pan and crank position sensor, and all...
I just installed a set of whiteline polly steering rack bushings on a 2000 Cruiser and now I an feeling every bump in the road. It's like bump steer but the truck isn't moving around, its just the steering wheel that is giving a ton of feed back. It doesn't appear that the bushings are...
Maybe I'm just missing it but does anyone know the part number for the fuel cap for a 65 FJ45. Its probably out there I'm just missing it in my searches.
I bought this truck with a bad transmission and some rust with the intention of swapping in a manual and repairing the rust. The frame is solid as far as I can tell but the doors were shot with a few other small spots. Well the more I started checking out the body the more rust I found. At...
Too much to list. Engine is un tested because oil pan skid plate took a hit and doesn't hold oil. It does spin over. All doors except drivers door are available and in good shape. No seats, interior panels or dash. Lots of other small pieces available. Transmission, t-case and axles all in...

While doing a valve adjustment for a customer, on a 91 FJ80, I noticed a glimmer of green in the sun. After pressure testing and cleaning the suspected areas I found this. It is located between the exhaust valves for cylinder 2 and 3. There is also a smaller one in the same spot but between...
I installed one of these low mileage Japanese engines in a 4Runner. I don't recognize what it may of come out of with the heater hoses running across the top of the intake. The main computer harness comes off the engine at the alternator and goes through a bulkhead a few inches from that. It...
This is a cross post because the winching thread (Warn M8000 vs. XD9000) has little traffic and science this is going on my FJ60 I thought it would apply:
Due to some trading I now own both of these winches. In the name the XD9000 sounds better but when you look at motor HP and gear ratio the...
Due to some trading I now own both of these winches. In the name the XD9000 sounds better but when you look at motor HP and gear ratio the M8000 has .2 hp more and a gear ratio 60:1 lower. To me that means the 8000 may be slower but has more pulling power. Is the M8000 under rated like the...
