    Brake Warning Light Mystery - Help Needed

    Hi all - I am trying to figure out why my brake warning light on the dash of my '89 FJ62 remains lit at all times. Searching this forum, I learned that the brake warning light comes on when the fluid in the master cylinder is low, when the parking brake is engaged, and also when there is an...

    Builds  Rescuing a Basket Case '72 FJ40

    Hello all y'all in the 40/55 Forum. I usually find myself over with the 60-series folks, but I recently bought my first 40, so I've been hanging out here, reading and learning. Every Cruiser has a story, and this one is no different. You know when you see a Cruiser for sale on Kijiji or...

    Suzuki  Early 80s SJ410 Value

    Hi everyone, Going to look at an '82 SJ410 this evening as a little side project to my FJ62 build. The guy is asking $3500 CDN for this little unit. I can't find much information about what these things are going for these days, so I thought I'd consult the Mud oracle to see if that's even in...

    Is this a dumb idea? Rocker panel replacement

    Hi - I am doing some bodywork on my FJ62, and both inner and outer rockers on both sides need work. I had a thought that rather than build new rockers out of sheet metal, what if I installed some square tubing instead? I was thinking I would cut it lengthwise at an angle to replicate the...

    Two 62s Become One - Build Thread

    A couple of years ago, I bought a rusty, pooched-out 1988 FJ62. I had no idea what I was doing, but was stoked to finally own a 60-series Cruiser and keen to bring it back from the dead. Over the first year of ownership, I did the brakes, rebuilt the front axle, installed new seats, did a full...

    Headlight Help - FJ62

    Hello all electrical experts, I need your help. The other day I was driving on a winding rural road and at one point I switched from high to low beams, and the headlights went off completely, which was scary for me, and probably for the oncoming driver as well. The lights came back on after a...

    Help Identifying Hose (please!)

    Hello - I am tracking down the cause of a gas smell inside the cab that develops after about 10 minutes of driving (88 FJ62). I removed and blew out the charcoal canister per the FSM, and then set about inspecting the fuel lines all the way back to the tank. Near the tank I noticed this hose...

    FJ62 Overdrive Switch

    Hi everyone - I'm trying to rectify some of the terrible deeds that were done to the wiring of my 62 by some previous owner. When I pulled the O/D switch, I found that none of the wires were attached to anything (strangely, the O/D still seems to kick in at around 50 mph). I have looked at...

    newbie question - front diff

    Hi all, pardon my ignorance, but I have a question that I wasn't able to answer by searching. Anyway, new-to-me FJ62. I'm pulling apart the front end to fix a leak at the front LH knuckle, and to repair what I thought was a faulty Aisin locking hub. The further I got in, though, the more it...

    Builds  Build thread - Japhy the Canadian FJ62

    Hi everyone, I just picked up an 88 FJ62, so I thought I'd say hello. I've been wanting a 60-series wagon for at least 2 decades. I've owned a LWB 70-series (light duty) and a 2nd gen 4Runner, but they didn't scratch the 60 series itch. Anyway, after a year of fruitless kijiji alerts, this one...
