60/62 later model parts upgrade or interchange

[boerboel313]

Yep, the front wiper arms (get both from left side) are 85221-35080, and the cover is 85192-12800. I haven't ordered the rear 80-Series wiper yet.

Here's a photo from another thread of the 80-Series rear wiper arm with part number:

American Toyota in Albuquerque.

Is that a dealership?

Yes, and they offer a 25% MUD discount. You can also get them through toyotapartsdeal.com, with similar pricing.

City racer had the set. I just ordered from them because I didn’t have the part numbers at the time and it was easy. I don’t think it cost more but I don’t get a 25% discount.

Intermittent wiper relay and hazard signal relay. I’ve got ‘83 60 wiring and is there a a solid state
upgrade that gets rid of the gears and wheels relay for the wipers?

Regarding the hazard relay, if you snip out one resistor you can run LEDs bulbs in the flashers without the fast blink problem.

$10 LED Flasher for 60/62 series

FJ62 flashers cannot be converted, you must use a pre 88 flasher from a 60 series. I have heard mini trucks of that time period pre 88 may also work but don't hold me to that. This has been documented in the 80 series forum but for those who do not frequent it here you go: FJ60 Flasher P/N...

Don’t really want LEDs. But seem to create too much resistance through the hazard flasher. Maybe I’ll try an ‘88
flasher and see how it works out. Is the part number for different from earlier flashers?
Has anyone found later model wiper relays that work?

I used an earlier one because it was documented to work. Not sure on the later ones but I didn’t try.

Thought I would put together some options for fog light/accessory switches using Toyota parts. I like the Toyota switches because they match stylistically and getting used ones are pretty cheap via ebay or junkyards. Most of these switches will need to have a little fog lamp decal added which should only cost a couple extra dollars. Lots of other Toyotas from the 80s and early 90s have fog lamp switches or other defrost switches that can easily be utilized for running fog lamps or whatever accessories you want honestly. Lets add to this list! What else have other people found? I'll update this list as new stuff is found.

FJ62 style opening:
1984-1989 Toyota truck "deck lamp" switches can be easily converted for fog lamp use. (run about $20 on ebay).

1988-1990 FJ62 rear defrost switch

1988-1990 FJ62, other JDM Toyotas of that era as well, fog lamp switch (rare)

1991-1995 MR2 fog lamp switch (looks like it MAY FIT, someone needs to test this).

8416090K01 - New Toyota fog lamp switch (but graphics are sideways when mounted in a 6x series).

84165-20070 (looks like it MAY FIT, someone needs to test this).

84160-52030 Scion switch (looks like it MAY FIT, someone needs to test this).

FJ60 style opening:
1980-1987 FJ60 rear defrost switches

More good OEM fog switch info (80 series) that could be useful for some of these switches: Early OEM fog light switch Part No.? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/early-oem-fog-light-switch-part-no.219791/

Thanks for mentioning my kit -- this type of upgrade is exactly what I had in-mind when making the decals.

It's been posted before but I have a picture of my exact decal on an OEM switch and it looks very good.
