I hate to admit this, but I was working on the truck last week, and put the key somewhere in the house where I don't usually keep it. When I couldn't find it, I
figured it would turn up, and just used the spare key which I put in my wallet. Now I can't find either one, and I've turned my...
I lost the keys to my FJ 60. I know I can get a locksmith or AAA to pop the door open. And I know that you can take off one of the front door lock cylinders to a Toyota dealer and have them cut a new key. Question:
Which door cylinder do you take to the dealer, the passenger side, or the...
I'm thinking about doing a spring-over on my 1982. The stock springs are pretty shot. They're just flat. So what would the cost be to re-arch my springs and do a spring-over? I should say have done by a Cruiser shop, as I don't have the knowledge, space, or time to do it myself.
This part fell on the drivers side floor underneath the dash on my 1982 FJ 60. Can someone tell me what it's for, and where it goes? It's not the return spring for the clutch pedal.
This is a repost, but I put Camry electric, leather seats in mine. I got 'em from a local boneyard called "Toyota Heaven".
Did you do a search in the FJ 60 section?
If you have another source for parabolics, I'd go with them. I'm not sure what the problem is with TIC and Great Basin Rover. I badgered them for months trying to get springs for my 60, and they kept telling me that they had production problems, but that they were going to get them. (See...
Here ya go, Henry. Here's also one of David's 60, and one of you on that rock ledge. Loved both of your rigs. You've given me lots of inspiration and ideas for my 60.
Wow. Looks like a very well taken care of truck. Amazing that it only has 60K miles on it. I notice that $13 K is only the current bid. It'll be interesting to see what it ultimaltely sells for. I don't know what FJ 60s sold for in 1983, but even at 13K that's awfully good resale value.
Welcome to the forum!
I'll take a shot at your questions one at a time.
1) Entry fee; Like any vehicle mileage and condition are key. I bought a bone stock '82 refurbished FJ 60 with 195 K miles about a year ago for $5,500. That might seem a little high to some, but I purchased it from a...
FWIW; I have been having vacuum problems with my '82 FJ 60. It's been having problems starting sometimes. Other times it would start fine and run for a while before stalling. Anyhow, I decided to replace all of the aftermarket vacuum lines with OEM. The guy at the parts counter said that...
The only thing I would add to nikos8's reply is that the advantage of the Toyota engines listed above is that they were designed to fit into a 60. I've looked into this pretty extensively, and kind of fell in love with the Cummins engines. But bear in mind the exhaust is on the passenger's...
KYBishop;
If you really want a diesel Cruiser head down to Central America. They're all over the place. Just buy one more than 25 years old, and there's no problem bringing it in to the country. They obviously live a pretty hard life down there, but they're Cruisers, so they can take it.
Blue 60; I too, have been contemplating a diesel for quite some time. I've been doing a lot of research into this subject, but obviously, my knowlege is academic compared to Fl Cruisers. I just bought a copy of the new issue of Diesel Power magazine (Winter '05 ) off the newstand, and there's...
My clutch slave cylinder went out a couple of weeks ago. Amazingly it died on the street on the way home about 50 feet from my driveway. I've got all the parts lined up. Got both a new slave and and a new master cylinder. The only problem is that I can't get the rubber hose off (part #...
They work great in my rig. Just make sure you call the dealer. I made the mistake of driving all the way up there only to be told they'd have to order 'em.
