    I'm thinking about buying an FJ60/62 and I came across this 1990 FJ62. Since I don't know much about the 6X series, I don't know if this is a good deal or not. I've edited the description to remove extraneous stuff. The pics of the truck look good, but, of course, pics can be deceiving. Any...

    I tried to replace the exhaust manifold gasket on my '73 and the Felpro that I got at Autozone seems to have the wrong size port holes and it's leaking worse than before I changed it. Where can I get the best gasket that fits properly? Thanks in advance.
