    Wire connectors under starter - 1989 FJ 62

    Matt, where are these connectors available from? I definitely want to get about 8 of them. I especially need one for my starter, just like your video shows. I’ve having to go under my Fj60 to wiggle the trigger wire to start it every time I drive somewhere. I live on a long gravel road that’s...

    Anti-Theft Solutions and Brainstorming

    I would like a push button start. I kind of have one already: turn the key, push the little red button by the fuse box, and it starts. I usually take the key out when I leave the vehicle however. There’s about ten old FJ60s in my town and most thieves would rather have a big truck than an old...

    Anti-Theft Solutions and Brainstorming

    I realized that I didn’t have the know how to trace all the wires, etc. to remove the system. So, since it has worked for 15 years pushing the little momentary switch button, I put in a brand new momentary switch, soldered the wires, hooked up the ground and it’s working perfectly now. I put in...

    60 Security and Anti Theft Measures

    Thanks. The guy who is coming out here tomorrow has a fsm manual I’m pretty sure. He has rebuilt 7 or8 FJ60s. The guy I bought the truck from had designed his own system. He told me a lot of things about it, but it was all kind of over my head as I’m not an electrical guy at all, even though I...

    Anti-Theft Solutions and Brainstorming

    There should also be a thread on how to remove these devices for those of us who live outside of the city. I don’t need or want any anti theft system in my FJ60. The problem is that it has one! And it’s working so well that I can’t start the rig, no matter what. Now I’m planning to go through...

    60 Security and Anti Theft Measures

    One more thing I have always been curious about is why would anyone want to steal a vehicle that tops out at 65mph more or less, gets 12 mpg, is famous for being slow, as well as cool. I think I’ve been living in the country a very long time now(27 years). I do remember having the radio stolen...

    60 Security and Anti Theft Measures

    Years later….. when you sell your rig, all the anti theft stuff that you so cleverly engineered into it will become an F-ing nightmare to the new owner. Case in point: I bought my’87 FJ60 in 2008 from a friend of mine. He was an electrical engineer of some kind and when he sold me the truck, he...

    Gear Reduction Starter for FJ40, FJ60 (NEW) First Impressions

    FYI, if you don’t have a lift, a concrete floor garage, and are diy-ing it in the winter. It takes a lot,lot longer than 10 minutes. Try about two hours.

    Hidden kill switch ideas

    It only works to start the engine. Once it starts the switch seems to not do anything. I’ll try your idea, connecting the two wires, and see if that fixes it. But it is extremely cold here, down to zero or slightly above or below at night. Now the starter is having issues engaging. Once it warms...

    Cold weather choking fj60

    Old post I know, but it’s been below zero at night here in the Colorado high country. My 87 Fj60 has a broken choke cable, courtesy of the sub-zero temps. I use starting fluid or carb cleaner, just a three second spray in the carb, then it starts right up. As far as warm up is concerned, I let...

    Hidden kill switch ideas

    My Fj60 is one of about 8 that live in my county, it’s F-250 territory mostly. My kill switch is about 25 years old and it’s always trying to kill the engine! I’m trying to figure out how to dismantle it, or install a new momentary switch that’s kind of wearing out. I have to push the switch to...

    Igniter Repair for Cheapskates

    It was 25 degrees this morning here, and it is getting colder. It’s running great, and my longest trips are 15 miles into town, and 15 miles back. I’m not worried about heat buildup under the hood yet. If I drove longer distances it might be a problem, but considering where I live, I’m not...

    Igniter Repair for Cheapskates

    My mechanic just installed a gm part on top of the coil igniter, similar to the one in the photo earlier in this thread. I was worried about the heat build up I read about here. He told me that it’s not going to be a problem here, at 7,500’, high in the Colorado mountains. Like right now, it’s...

    Kill switch on 87 Fj60

    Trying to figure out how to remove this thing. Original owner put it in but it’s just becoming a problem. Little button must be pressed to start vehicle. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Fuel pump or coil/igniter?

    Mechanic did find used oem igniter, but thought $500 was too much. There’s no specific Land Cruiser shop or mechanic in my town even though there’s probably ten or fifteen Fj60s here.

    Fuel pump or coil/igniter?

    Exactly what my mechanic did. I live at 7,800’ so it’s pretty cold here except for July August September. And I don’t drive over the continental divide east of here. My LC is what’s called a “Valley Truck”, meaning it doesn’t leave the Yampa valley. I’m not worried about the part getting fried...

    Fuel pump or coil/igniter?

    My mechanic installed new coil, but igniter was fried, 2 burned wires. He did the GM igniter swap, and had to get diodes, which took ten days to arrive here via USPS. Cranked it up and it runs now. The idle speed is a little high for some reason, 1000 rpm! I’ll turn it down tomorrow and get it...

    Fuel pump or coil/igniter?

    It was the coil/ igniter! It’s still in the shop because my mechanics assistant broke his back, and he’s always got a bunch of newer vehicles there that are more important than my old rig. Then it’s also hunting season here, and he’s gone a couple days every week. I’ve borrowed a old Yukon from...
