My 88 has been running its best now for years and after all the rain we sissy Californian's just got, Im plagued with some new gremlins.
Sometimes starts right up and idles beautifully. Start it up again after being parked for a day or even just an hour and 1 of 2 things happen:
1 - Turn key...
Time to sell my baby. 1988 FJ62. Ive built this rig up over the course of about 10 years now. She is ready now for a good home that can continue loving her as I have. Very light off roading on hard packed desert but nothing crazy. Total surf mobile and head turning grocery getter.
Getting the...
Made new door cards a few years back and put a real cool southwest fabric on them. Over the last 3 years they have faded and gathered some stains so its time for a fresh look since I have gone grayscale - believe it or not I found this black and white southwestern fabric at Ikea recently. 14...
@wrc3 - Ended up on the side of the freeway on easter Sunday of 19. I am terrible at following up on here. Ended up ordering the 5 speed H55F and a pallet of parts from @cruiserparts and dropping that dead beast. I cant tell you exactly what it was but it did finally go bye bye. My truck is now...
Thanks! just painted it in the garage for the second time. Getting better at! And yes those are the 16" vintiques with trail gear spacers. I did a set of 2" on the back and 1.5" on the front...or vise versa?
Thanks for all the tips on tracking this down. Quick update. I was ready to leave it at the office yesterday and deal with towing her home till I had time. I went to lock it up for the night and figured I'd try to fire her up for poops and giggles.......she of course fired right up! Jumped in...
88 FJ62 - Recently troubleshooted a bad main (efi) relay and replaced with 30 amp bosch relay per muds suggestions. Drove it 80 miles in the past two days and now shes got the same issue. Cranking really well but doesnt seem like fuel is getting to the engine. Diagnostic terminal jump did not...
31 K02's on 15" black steel pro comp wheels. Model 51-5883s3.5. 15x8 with 3.5 BS and -25 offset. These fit on the front with with minor grinding down of front calipers at on spot. Or if you are running spacers they will fit without grinding. 31x 10.5 BFG AT KO2 with lots of life left. These have...
Hey 100 nerds. Just picked this beauty up and will be hanging out here for the next few years Im sure with you guys!
Been a 1988 62 (round eye front end from 60) guy for close to a decade now but she is pretty much "done" as far as making her mine goes.

H55f 5 speed conversion will give you the get up and go you want....the best thing Ive ever done to my truck. Small things like new cats can increase performance in small but noticeable increments. With your gear box dont run larger tires. Keep with stock 31's. It will save whats left in that...
Pretty certain my booster just went and died on me. Anywhere to get one these days? I looked at $or butt you know and I found one on rockauto for not a terrible price. Anyone have any suggestions. Most searches yield results from a decade ago.
Symptoms since I know you guys will ask.

mine was ordered in September 2019 and was $2382.85 plus $189 shipping from olathe toyota. I shopped around for a while and that was the best I ever found. Shipping was quick as well. ordered 9/24 and received 10/4
Battled my auto for years. Rodney flushes and filter kits after each and every time I went out camping or anywhere that the truck had to be driving for well over an hour. Once the auto trans fluid gets too hot...it burns and its trash. Limping home 2 hours away is no fun. Ive done it all...
and with gas prices so low right now I
My theory has a couple items that I think added to the first one going bad. 1. The number 4 cylinder never fired and Im pretty sure it was because I had a push rod that wasn't seated properly against the stop screw for that lifter. It was all tweaked...
