    1984 FJ60 Doesn’t Crank at All

    I replaced the carburetor gaskets on my FJ60 today and afterwards I went to start the truck and this is happening. Underneath the dash the previous owner had some wires running to a push button switch and then to some kind of plug at the base of the steering column. I have them a slight tug...

    Inspecting a 1979 Toyota FJ40

    I have a good friend who is looking at buying a very low mileage 1979 FJ40. The current owner is listing it with about 28,000 miles and saying it’s in great condition. It was up on Ebay but has since come down so my buddy can go inspect and hopefully buy it. I own a FJ60 and I’m pretty...

    FJ60 Smoking Bad After Sitting for a Long Time

    I have a 1984 FJ60 that day for a long time and now Lois out white smoke while running. We got it up to operating temperature and the thermostat seems to be stuck.

    FREE  4-Speed Out of 1985 FJ60

    I need space in my garage so I’m listing this as free with the hope that it goes fast. I got it from CruiserYard when I bought a transfer case. He said it worked but I haven’t tried it myself. I can meet anywhere on the north side of Houston or you are welcome to just come pick it up at my house.

    Knuckle Shim SST Tool

    Does anyone have one I can borrow? I tore into my axles and didn't pay attention to what shims were where when I tore it apart. Now I'm stuck trying to rebuild it and need one to move forward. I've heard there are members who will rent one out to other members. Any help is appreciated.

    Is the Toyota rear main seal worth all the extra money over the aftermarket rear main seals sold?

    Does anyone know what it is? O'Reilly shows two different sizes. The company I work at is a distributor of oilfield products so we naturally sell a lot of fasteners. The manufacturer we represent sells wheel studs and lug nuts so I'm trying to get them there as this seems to be something that...
