Hi All, need a little help. My 'FJ60 has been idle for most of the past year as I did some clean up, modification, etc. I put fuel preservative in the remaining fuel in the tank, and topped it off with a few gallons of fresh gas this week once I was ready to start it up again. The starter works...
My FJ60's PO, who apparently had a sort of wiring fetish, saw fit to replace the original starter motor wiring (from the loom) with a 6 foot piece of insulated lamp cord. While I'm doing my rebuild, I plan to rewire it to match the original. Does anyone have a photo or a drawing of what the...
Hello everyone,
Over the past 5 years this site has been an invaluable source of information, solutions, and general hilarity. Here's my build thread for the benefit of anyone foolish enough to read it :)
We originally bought our FJ as a project to teach our twin boys about how cars work, and...
After 268,000 miles our FJ60 still runs like a champ and since we became the proud owners the number of leaks has decreased down to a precious few! But recently I found the telltale signs of leaking red ATF on the floor under the drivers side. A quick look showed no issues with the hose seals...

This may sound like heresy to many, but I'm thinking about taking my 1985 FJ60 back to it's original ride height. The PO installed the garden variety OME lift kit. Any one ever do this? Or know of a thread in here that could help? Anyone want to tell me I have my head in an inappropriate place...
Just did front and rear brake jobs on my 1985 FJ60. Rear drums went great, and front discs came together very well also. I bled the system and all seems to be fine with that. The issue is braking at speeds above 50 or 60 mph. There is a distinctive shudder that translates all the way through the...
So our '85 FJ60 project is coming nicely, but a rear brake job reveals that the PO may have taken some . . . er . . . shortcuts when maintaining them. We're going to need to replace the drums. I've found OEM and aftermarket drums at Cool Cruisers of Texas, but not many other places. Anyone have...
