    FJ62 Transfer input shaft oil seal

    My transfer case was puking ATF; two different PO receipts from a ‘cruiser specialist shop showed the output seal had been replaced multiple times - that PO paid for everything to be done and I think the shop in question just filled the tcase up with ATF to avoid having to do the input seal. It...

    Well, darn, saw the USB pre-order and made it, but had to discuss the trailer hitch harness with my CFO and missed out.

    power steering upgrade

    I have a sneaking hunch that a lot of the slop is in the 32+ year old steering ujoints. I have 2; I still need to find the one closest to the box.

    power steering upgrade

    The stock radiator cooler. It’s perfect for a power steering cooler since the box and pump are on opposite sides of the engine, as are the cooler input/output. I also added a magnetic filter into the return line.

    power steering upgrade

    The 80 box upgrade is to a 105 sector shaft. The pitman has to be upgraded at that point because the shaft is a different size; you’ll also have to change out the tie rod end. I’m running a stock (rebuilt) 62 pump with an 80 box on 33” tires. I can turn with one finger. The only reason I have...

    Is the new Apple Air Tag the best theft tracking device?

    Inside the dash would be a good spot. A bluetooth sniffer would direct a thief to the stereo.

    Cruiser Head

    I’m going to end up ordering so much stuff from you… I’m interested in a plain 4 plug trailer harness. I don’t want to tow anything heavy enough to require a brake controller. If the 62 USB outlet could fit/reach into the blank below the stereo it would work perfectly with an ashtray-delete...

    FJ62 Fuel pump bracket/carrier repair DIY

    Follow-up: Say I want to change out the hard line fitting on the supply line; what size fittings are those? M14x1.5 inverted flare?

    FJ62 Fuel pump bracket/carrier repair DIY

    It looks like mine are toast, too. If Matt had a replacement I would go that route but it looks like I’ll be doing the copper-nickel replacement fix instead. I also want to know why that bracket isn’t attached…

    power steering upgrade

    Why do you need a power upgrade with 33” tires? If your current system is insufficient you need to figure out what’s not working.

    Builds 80 coils on a 60 series? Yes we've done that a handful of times now

    Sorry to drag up an old thread, but I’m curious about the rear radius arm mount on the frame in relation to a late-FJ60 crossmember. Specifically, I have your brackets welded on my FJ62, and it looks like the crossmember brackets + radius arm would be fighting for the same space. Any pictures...

    Cruiser Head

    I’m in the same camp, but I prefer to have my phone plugged in. I have a USB port already installed in the switch blank above the ashtray but the cord then hangs out in the open to the center console. If I had a cubby to just stick my phone in that would be awesome. I use silicone sleeves, so...

    T-case shifter mod

    FYI, there is adjustment in the shifter. It’s kind of a PITA to do with the carpet in place but it is possible.

    1988 FJ62 LED Interior Bulb Swap Chart (2020 Edition)

    Update on the high beam indicator: if I were doing it again I would use a 2500 ohm resistor. It’s still just a little bit brighter than I’d like, but tolerable, so I’m not going to mess with it. The cheap electronics resistor I used is working great; I covered the whole thing with heat shrink...

    Crossmember Brackets

    What’s the secret code to get them? I’ve called and emailed several times over the last few months but no response.

    Crossmember Brackets

    Enough shops do H55F swaps - where could I get a set of pre-cut brackets to put a late-FJ60 crossmember into my FJ62? I know they’ll need to be welded on the vehicle but just having everything pre-cut would be a huge time saver for me.

    1988 FJ62 LED Interior Bulb Swap Chart (2020 Edition)

    In case anyone has done a headlight upgrade, such as the JW Speaker upgrade in other posts, the LED indicator bulb is not dimmed noticeably by a 20-50 ohm resistor. I ended up using a substitute box and swapped out the resistor for a 1/2 watt, 2k ohm. I measured the inrush current through the...

    1988 FJ62 LED Interior Bulb Swap Chart (2020 Edition)

    I already had the actual turn signals as LEDs and they still work fine. I’m talking about the indicator bulbs. I think I’m going to just put incandescent bulbs back for the indicators.

    1988 FJ62 LED Interior Bulb Swap Chart (2020 Edition)

    I used the 3022-NW4 which is basically the same thing but less blue. Seems to work great. Anyone else have an issue where the LED turn signal indicators now stay on the whole time the turn signal switch is engaged, but they get brighter when the lights actually flash? I’m not sure if that’s...

    FJ 62 manual swap ?

    Adding to the list, don’t forget the little brackets to hold the clutch line against the firewall. There are a LOT of fiddly buts you’ll want to have, if possible. I’m about to dive in to this myself and I’m just finishing up cutting apart a rust heap for parts. Every time I say “that’s the...
