    FJ60 OEM Steel Rim Restoration

    When I looked into it, it sounded like the correct way to re-chrome a steel wheel is to separate the center section from the rim. Some info here. I didn't look into pricing after that but I imagine not cheap and beyond my budget.

    Wheels that work, part numbers

    Anybody know if Toyota part no. 42601-60170 is a direct fit for a stock FJ60 (late '85 model)? My impression is they're the same as 42601-6062-03 but in chrome rather than satin paint, but I haven't been able to find much info on the chrome wheel. If they are the same, I understand there's 1/4"...

    FJ60 OEM Steel Rim Restoration

    I'm in the Denver area. Mine aren't in terrible shape, they polish up pretty well. It's more the straightening and runout that I have a harder time with. Would love to hear how you like the 16" rims. I'm starting to lean more towards that option. Thanks for the feedback. That's partially what...

    FJ60 OEM Steel Rim Restoration

    Hello everyone, Has anyone attempted or have any experience with restoring the stock, 15" steel rims for an FJ60? Not only re-chroming, but straightening and correcting runout as well? I'm at the point where new tires for the FJ60 always need massive balancing weights that end up falling off...

    FJ60 Security Hood Lock

    Here's the final mounting of the lock itself under the dashboard. The adapter is just a .5"x1"x2.75" block of aluminum with three holes drilled to match the hole spacing of the factory holes on the dash and the lock's mounting holes.

    FJ60 Security Hood Lock

    Agreed, short of winching it onto a trailer the goal is to make it as hard as possible to drive away with it. And now that the hood is lockable, installing a GPS tracker under the hood is also more feasible and harder to tamper with.

    FJ60 Security Hood Lock

    If there's interest in more pictures or detail, let me know and I'd be happy to share. More to come on the lock mounting under the dash and possibly the kill switch. Hold on to your FJ60s everyone.

    FJ60 Security Hood Lock

    The spring for the safety latch had to be relocated: The lock itself will mount right next to the factory hood release. I only have one bolt in there now and need to work on a bracket for the other since the factory mounting points there are narrower than the lock's mounting holes.

    FJ60 Security Hood Lock

    After a break in and theft of my FJ60, I decided to take its security a little more seriously (apparently all the rust wasn't cutting it). Here's an option for a keyed hood lock on an FJ60 (1985 shown below). When locked, this prevents the factory hood release handle from opening the hood...

    Belt Adjustment Bolt Replacement

    Throwing this out there for those looking to replace the nuts and bolts that adjust the alternator and air pump belt tension on FJ60s - I found Dorman part #917-148 on Amazon (LINK) to be a good fit and replacement. It has the same M8x1.25 thread as stock. Quick and easy fix for any...

    Aftermarket Power Steering Pump Pulley?

    Wanted to see if anyone knew of an aftermarket option for the pulley (44311-60010) on an OEM power steering pump. I'm not finding a new OEM pulley in-stock anywhere and I haven't found a thread here with an aftermarket alternative (minus the many saginaw conversions). Thanks in advance! :cheers:

    Alternator altering

    This thread helped a bunch when my alternator gave out this weekend! Here's what I did to get the FJ80 alternator to fit without making any mods to the alternator fans or adjustment arm. The stock belt size still works with plenty of adjustment. Still needed to cut off the second belt pulley to...

    Winch lock on 4Plus bumper

    Finally got a winch on my new 4Plus bumper yesterday. I lost a little sleep thinking how easy it'd be for the winch to walk away so this morning I bought some peace of mind from Home Depot for ~20 bucks. The idea is that access to one of the front winch bolts is prevented by the lock. Accessing...

    FJ60 - Randomly? dropping all clutch fluid

    Haven't figured this one out so maybe someone here's got some insight. Monday morning I lost all the fluid out of my clutch cylinders. This was after I drove it to work with no issues, clutch felt like it always has. I was able to put enough fluid back in to get it home where I flushed it all...
