Those ferry rides are awesome. I've taken my FJ60 from Anacortes to San Juan Island a bunch of times. I think yesterday was the first day the sun has been out this year. The rain here has been crazy.While maybe not the ideal DD for mainly highway use. I have enjoyed driving the FJ62 around all the time, especially when the sun decides to come out:
And I have a great helper for keeping it clean:

Blue Guy got a sibling the other day. Saw this 2002 100 series for sale in the neighborhood, it only has 146k on the clock and is a one owner well maintained cruiser. We took the chance and grabbed it. It will be the DD now while Blue Guy gets to finally get some work done that DD duty wasn't allowing to happen. Definitely two VERY different land cruisers. Disclaimer: that unfortunately is not our house in the background

That’s exciting about the grandkid! It should be nicer then. Feel free to reach out when you are in town.

Finally started my injector replacement project. Taking my time and cleaning things as I go since well... I dont have to drive anywhere in the FJ62 for a while :/ Have a stash of essential parts for this job I banked away and a set of refreshed injectors from WitchHunter. Cant wait to see how much better this engine will run.
Thankfully I had a dremel polisher the exact size of the injector ports. Worked perfect!
Wires at the pinch point in the wire loom looked great thankfully! I will rewrap this and wrap the whole loom in heat reflective cloth.

You should get a nice seat of the pants improvement in how it runs. Certainly should start and idle quick and smooth.
I did this job a million years ago and would like to do it again with combined desmog with air rail removal and plugs. At the time I also had my throttle body bored out which I think gave it the most improved feel.
How grungy was your cold start injector, and the intake plenum overall? Had any luck cleaning out the plenum yet?

The cold start injector was nasty! I had that refreshed by WitchHunter a few months back and used that right away since it was so easy to swap.
I am still trying to clean out the inside of the intake manifold. Hard to get in there. I loosened up some gunk which I now need to make sure I get it all out. Can't leave loose bits in there! I think I may want to do a oil catch can based on how much gunk was in the intake.
fancy.
Lots of carb cleaner, brake cleaner, brushes, elbow grease, etc. IIRC it just removed all the caked on stuff but not the all the black film in there. I wanted it to be perfect, but in the interest of time and futility I called it good and moved on.
My 3FE ran great after the injector/intake refresh.

Thanks! Time to scrub more.
get it chase!
I want to see this truck get up to 88 mph after those injectors get swapped out.

just be careful with those plastic injector clips! They are always very brittle. Now I would order a set of replacements just to have ready in case you break one.
