I have purchased a never-ending-headache of a 1985 Fj60.:bang: Currently dealing with a very rusty fuel tank and having trouble locating an aftermarket one thats not $1500. If anybody in VA has an extra tank (not rusted) they'd part out please let me know!

Hey folks, welcome to the tales of Cara the Cruiser. I bought Cara off an old widow in October 2019 at 172,000 miles and have had all sorts of adventures and struggles. I had very little experience wrenching before but a lot of appetite and desire to learn. It's been a grand time learning how...
I am new to MUD but have an 85 FJ60 that needs to have a new rear seal and transfer case rebuild. While having that addressed, I figure I might as well put in the 5 speed transmission. My truck's current transmission has the spacer on it so it would be the easier swap. I wanted to see if...
Having a hard time finding these parts but I’m new to land cruisers and probably not looking in the right places. Also here’s a pic from my mechanic showing the part I need. Tried to upload a video with a better view of the part but wouldn’t work. Hopefully you guys can tell from the picture...
So after 6 months of staring, drooling, and bugging my wife I bought my first land cruiser. It’s a 1987, 215k, and I got it for a whopping $2500.
I think I bought the rustiest cruiser in North America however the frame has nothing but light surface rust (that I saw).
I will be starting...
Hey mud -
How do the mounting brackets that the bumper bolts to attach to the frame? Do they use the existing OEM bumper horns as well as bolt holes on the top of the frame rail? Haven't had much luck looking for images of just the brackets mounted up. My horns are removed as I have a 4plus...
Hello, I’m new to the forum. I just acquired a 1984 FJ60 a few months ago, and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since! I started this thread to document all the repairs & upgrades that I’ve done with the truck so far. I started out as a 4Runner fanatic (I have a super dependable 2002 SR5 3rd Gen...
When soldering the brass pipes to the heater core as many suggest to do, do you leave a gap between the two flanges for the solder to get in or do you put the pipe flanges (of the heater core pipe to the brass pipe) as close together as possible (touching)?
While not a professional plumber, I...
Hey All,
I am trying to get my FJ60 air tight (Proven to be a headache and a half) and think I have finally done it. I hooked up my smoke tester and all seals seem to be doing their jobs. But, when I crank over the engine and get it up to temp, I am only seeing 14 inHG on the intake manifold...
The PO had the speedo cable mounted with a zip tie right above the transfer case. This is where the “white thing” (my term) on the cable was mounted to. Is this correct ? I don’t want it mounted incorrectly, causing it to bend and twist in a bad way and have to replace it again. Can anykne ahare...
