    TorFab: FJ62 LED Headlight Kit and Install

    Been really loving these LEDs for driving a lot at night in the mountains. The harness makes it really easy to swap these in, really great product. (The stock lights are downright dangerous on rainy twisty roads at night) But I did a little test today in the snow. Drove for about 30 minutes at...

    Window Tint for my 60

    I got mine tinted at 75% visible light, which was the lightest tint they had. Blocks 99% of UV and 92% of IR apparently. I really like it since it retains the stock look but much more comfortable inside year round. It was $900 including windshield in a HCOL area.

    TorFab: FJ62 LED Headlight Kit and Install

    I just installed mine too, pretty easy. For the relay box, I trimmed the plastic a bit to make it fit on the body bolt in the instructions. It was interfering with the adjacent body bolt otherwise. On the driver side I saw the same bolt was sheared off (wtf?) but I was able to use a different...

    Steering wheel crooked after lift install ?

    I broke my ball joint trying to adjust the drag link on mine after installing the 80 series steering box. I don't understand mechanically why/how the 60 series box can be back-driven, i.e. if you rotate the pitman arm/sector shaft, the steering input shaft will correspondingly move (how can a...

    TorFab: FJ62 LED Headlight Kit and Install

    I would love to upgrade my lights on the 62, but I am worried about the performance when it's nuking snow in Colorado and the headlights getting blocked. Anyone have experience? What would be awesome is if the load resistor for making the high beam dash light work was instead a heating element...

    OME steering stabilizer installation guide needed

    Sorry to hijack this a bit. Hoping for some insight. I recently replaced all my FJ62 steering linkage with a kit from @cruiseroutfit, at the same time I finally installed my OME steering stabilizer that I've had in the box for two years from @cruiseroutfit I noticed that the drag link...

    FJ60 steering box conversion to an FJ80 box AND gutting smog pump while your there.

    Here's the unsolicited account of my mini-saga I had replacing the box, so future internet people can learn: My FJ62 box was original with 330k miles, and it had a lot of play. I tightened the top screw a little. But coincidence or not, my box started leaking a lot shortly after. I would say...

    RTH: 80 series steering box/105 sector shaft upgrade doesn't match relay rod

    Well the shop I bought to it was not interested at all, despite having "reaming" in the name :flipoff2: I'm thinking of just buying the Toyota TRE reamer to do it myself: Taper Reamer - https://www.lceperformance.com/Taper-Reamer-p/2051613.htm Taper between the two arms is the same, but the...

    RTH: 80 series steering box/105 sector shaft upgrade doesn't match relay rod

    Thank you. Somewhere along the way I thought this would all be compatible. I'll bring the arm to a machine shop to see if I can have it reamed.

    RTH: 80 series steering box/105 sector shaft upgrade doesn't match relay rod

    The steering box on my '90 FJ62 started leaking something fierce lately. So I ordered an 80 series box with the 105 series sector shaft: https://www.cruiseryard.com/80-series-rebuilt-steering-gearbox-with-105-series-sector-shaft-and-pitman-arm-with-warranty-like-new/ It came with the larger...

    Clean 62 Build Advice

    This looks like a kit including round headlights. Can you just use the wiring? Or how does this work for the FJ62 4 headlamp setup?

    Clean 62 Build Advice

    Stock height OME is short hand for their light duty lift with a leaf removed. Quite a lot about it on here.

    Added oil, not showing on dipstick

    Well, 3 weeks later and the oil level is still showing full. No leaks or anything weird since. Strange...

    Added oil, not showing on dipstick

    My 3FE is remanufactured that the previous owner had installed. It's only got 60k on it, and I've got a ton of oil change records for it. So I hope it doesn't have junk floating around in it.

    Added oil, not showing on dipstick

    It's a head scratcher indeed. I was talking to my friend about this "drain down" time. But I don't think it's an issue. When the oil was way low, I checked multiple times as I added the 2.5qts. The oil was hot at that point and should flow down easily. Just now I did a test: Engine was sitting...

    Added oil, not showing on dipstick

    Okay I got it to show exactly full (top of the hash marks). Total oil siphoned out was just under 2qts. So somehow 2qts was hiding in my engine, but only reappeared after I added 8qts of fresh oil? Timeline: Saturday drove like 150 miles. Checked oil at the end of the drive, not showing any...

    Added oil, not showing on dipstick

    I've got a similar problem right now on my FJ62. On Saturday I was driving for a few hours. I filled up gas at the end and I was alarmed to see no oil on the dip stick. I ended up adding 2.5 qts to get it to show full again. It was about time for an oil change anyway, so I drained the oil and...
