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...
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...

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.

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.

Recently got my rig running again with a H55f and want to take all that extra power and smash it with some 33's that Ive wanted forever. If anyone wants to swap out for stock size 31's let me know. Id even trade the rims if yours are something Id like. Mine are black pro-comps 15" - Exact size...
anyone have any suggestions for a replacement for 90105-13005? No longer made as Im sure everyone knows. Chancing nothing on this second head gasket job and would love to have all new bolts this go round. Already ordered the 13 shorter ones. All good there.
thanks,

Just buttoned up two major overhauls yesterday and have the rig started for the first time since Easter when my tranny (a440f) took its final crap. I decided to garage it and replace the tranny with the H55f and tackle the blown head gasket that I recently diagnosed...and add a...
Very close to getting all my parts to get my FJ62 to become a 5 speed. Tranny comes this week as well as my pallet O parts for the conversion essentials. Until then Im dorking out on the FSM and many many many posts on mud.
One question I cannot find a definitive answer to is the parking brake...
Cleaning up all of my head bolts before replacing my head gasket. 1 of my longs and 1 of my shorts are pitted and rusty. I can still get the shorts new but the longs have been discontinued. If you have any extras please let me know your price and Ill get you some dough!
So amongst other issues... Im tackling a head gasket replacement and buying up all $orts of replacement items as I go. Yes I went with OEM on the head gasket and pretty much anything else still available.
I want to replace the beat up radiator and wondering if anyone has any advice on a good...
Looking for a tranny for my FJ62. Mine is crapped out completely after a few years of new strainers and 100 gallons of fluid and Rodney flushes and party tricks. Im in SoCal but willing to hit the road if the price is right. Just need something to get me to the H55f build.
I have a new noise that appears to be coming from my transmission. High pitched while accelerating in all gears including neutral park and reverse. Noise stops while letting off the accelerator but will appear if downshifting into lower gear at speed. The transmission has been my second largest...
I made this using an old vintage wool blanket a while back and no longer need it. Cant imagine its worth much but is way too cool to throw away. If anyone in or around the south orange county california reggion wants it let me know. Local pickup. Tailgate piece is crapped out so not included.
Yesterday after lunch and driving back to work my tranny stopped doing its job. It would not shift at all and got back on side streets in first and second gears. In order to get it home which isnt far I decided to pull a "party trick" for the first time and it actually worked a little and got me...
Going black with some BFG's and need to sell these unfortunately. 4 chrome factory FJ62 15" wheels and really good condition general grabber AT's. Uses as my daily driver wheels and my commute is about 10 miles each day. Wheels themselves have small amounts of rust here and there...see pictures...
This is my second aftermarket part post in 48 hours where Ive had problems...starting to believe the OEM hype...Purchased an aftermarket master window/lock switch from Switch Doctor and am having issues even after performing the wire swap they say you need to do. See pictures for the jist of my...
purchased an aftermarket hatch seal from cruisercorps and it seems way too big? Am i riding the short bus today? or has anyone ever ran into this or any tips? I put it next to my crapped out original one and it is definitely larger.
