    Abandoned 84 FJ60 gets some love, and a 4bt!

    Try @wileycoyote up the road from you in Glasgow, KY. He has a lot of 60 parts. Could probably steer you in the right direction if not. If Headworks can't fix it.

    If you're not too far from Headworks of Nashville, they may be able to weld that. They were able to fix a stress crack on my 1FZ head.

    Get the Toyota head gasket set and associated gaskets. Peace of mind.

    Trade my 2008 LC200 for a Stage 2+ FY62 as daily driver?

    Body Rust

    1st - hopefully you have it somewhere where it won't be exposed to the elements. If not, you're not going to be able to stop the moisture getting and and further rust behind the panels, in the seams, etc.... 2nd - you can use a phosphoric acid-based rust converter to neutralize what you can...

    Any rattle can paint jobs out there?

    Is it the Beige Metallic (4G8 paint code)? It's going to be virtually impossible to match a metallic that's not the standard silver or gold. The best bet would be to get some mixed up at an automotive refinishing supply store for about $30 per rattle can. If you want to redo it and not...

    ‘89 FJ62 randomly stalled and now won’t start?

    Well, that's a relatively easy fix at least. The Denso fuel pump is widely available, unlike the FPR.

    ‘89 FJ62 randomly stalled and now won’t start?

    I believe only a replacement situation. People have used the Standard Motor Products version. Also the Kyosan W0133-1743784 for a '91-'95 2.2 MR2. I believe those are out of stock everywhere. Also straight from Japan for $140 + shipping (may or may not actually be in stock from Megazip).

    Replacing my headliner and not sure where these go?

    Yes, looks like added by PO. Not factory.

    What have I done.....81 FJ60 aka Tetanus

    I wouldn't do the POR-15 unless I was doing frame-off because of the amount of prep that has to go into it. It seems like, even with perfect application, there are still some failures with it. I think, if you just have surface rust it would be way too time consuming to take it off the frame to...

    What have I done.....81 FJ60 aka Tetanus

    I am not a huge fan of POR15 unless you are taking the body off the frame. On mine, I scraped/brushed/wire wheeled, used Blackstar Rust Converter (snake oil) and then WoolWax. I also put in the Trail Tailor c-channel kit.

    What have I done.....81 FJ60 aka Tetanus

    'Tis but a flesh wound! My FJ62 is languishing a little bit due to the 80 needing a head gasket. At least there are replacement quarters and dog legs out there. It looks like it could have been a lot worse on yours. Yes, lots of work and cursing but at least you're not in it for $10,000 with...

    GPS Tracker

    Pull the EFI fuse every time you're not using it? Of course, wouldn't help if getting stolen on a flat bed.

    Is that an aftermarket radiator cap? Replace with OEM.

    Seat Fabric / Material for 88' FJ62

    Gold's expensive because it's gold.....the market ain't cheap on fabric made for three years, 30+ years ago.

    When is it considered "too much" rust?

    The second set of pictures you posted looks a lot better than the first - but there's so many issues with that much rust. You will fight every single thing you take off the truck. Get good with a bolt extractor - you will be using it all the time. You will need to buy new hardware for...

    Seat Fabric / Material for 88' FJ62

    I also got a passenger seat bottom to do the same. Neck deep in issues on my 80, so haven't fixed it yet...but it's on the list. If you find it, buy it. There were only around 11,000 FJ62s sold. No idea what the split is between brown and gray. I also think the '87 60 series has the same...

    FJ62 sunroof drain holes - where are they ?

    The high roof 60 series overseas had them as an option, I believe.

    Builds Bought this 1-owner 1987 FJ60, but some Rust

    I am convinced they salt the roads year-round here in Indiana. Just in case we get a Day After Tomorrow situation.

    The longer you wait, the worse it will get. Trust me, I know from experience. My FJ62 isn't gone, but it's a LOT more work than my 80, which I tackled rust issues as they came up.
