    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

    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:

    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...

    Need some post accident advice :(

    Hey everyone, A sad day today. The driver's side of the Land Cruiser took a beating from (eh, maybe did more delivering of a beating to..) a little sedan today. Long story short, its first collision in 33 years :( I guess I'm thankful that it wasn't much worse...but I'm still annoyed at the...

    Drive an FJ60 without front axle?

    Hey all, I'm in the process of rebuilding the knuckles on my '85 FJ60. I've got everything apart right now, but while separating the birfield joint from the axle, the snap ring that keeps them together, well...snapped. I apparently didn't do enough research to know this was common so I...

    FJ60 - OME Lift Kit Quote - Too High?

    Hey all, I feel a little silly asking this cuz I feel like it should be obvious, but I just received a quote for parts and labor to install an OME lift kit on my 1985 FJ60 and I'm confused on the price of the parts. They seem high (twice as much?) as what I was expecting based on sites like...

    FJ60 Funky A/C to Radiator Connection?

    Hey guys, I went to replace the radiator in my '85 FJ60 last night and ran into a small speed bump. I ordered the Champion aluminum radiator from Cruiser Corps (here). When I went to take out the old one, I noticed two connections from the A/C system to the radiator that the new radiator...

    "Woody" Rear Panels and Speaker Install

    Hey all, Just want to share my latest project on the Land Cruiser. I wanted to replace the rotten/warped MDF panels in the cargo area (I have gaping holes in my quarter panels so they'be been exposed to quite a bit of snow and rain). Also, many of the plastic pieces that attach them had broken...

    Toyota Factory Touch Up Paint

    I dug this out of my dad's garage and thought you guys might get a kick out of it. Apparently your new FJ60 came with a fresh can of paint to match. Too bad this isn't nearly enough to cover what the truck needs now.

    Am I crazy for spending this much on body work??

    Hey all, My '85 FJ60 is my daily driver. It was handed down to me from my parents who bought it back when they got married in '85. The ultimate goal is to get the truck back in (or close to) it's original shape. Mechanically, everything's in pretty good shape. Engine is healthy and all that. So...

    FJ60 LED Courtesy Lights

    Hey all, Check it out! I just finished installing a courtesy light in the Land Cruiser. It was pretty easy. I used some LED strip lights that I had lying around; it has a sticky backing but I bought some 10lb double sided tape for some extra durability. I put the strip just inside the door...

    Hey all, I've been searching through this forum for a few hours now and can't seem to find something similar to what I'm going through so I'm hoping you all can help me out. I just finished replacing all the vacuum lines in my '85 FJ60 with silicon lines from BoostController.com (3mm and...

    '85 FJ60 Remote Faceplate Stereo Install

    I know there's plenty of stereo threads for Cruisers on this site (I'm pretty sure I've read nearly all of them), but my hope is that this post introduces a different approach. I've been wanting to put in a new stereo to our '85 Land Cruiser for a while but have always been intimidated by what...
