Our $1250 FJ62 Family wagon build (1 Viewer)

You probably know this, but that loose shifter thing is about a 10 minute fix. You need the plastic bushings from Toyota. They are about $1.50 each.

I didn't thanks Cruiserdrew... I'll get right on that.

There are a couple of bushings in the bottom of the shifter post.
They get worn out and the shifter gets sloppy. Just get a couple of bushings from cdan and it will be nice and tight agian.
Good deal on the cruiser. I bought a nice wrecked one and payed more then that.
But two years later and a lot of money it looks pretty dam good.

Have a good one.

Thanks x2

congrats on the "His and Hers" running 50 Lbs on our fj60s on Michelin LTXs....much better gas milage than at 35 Lbs.......runs sweetly on OMEs....... they are 16 inch wheels though;

Lou

I'd probably run max 40 lbs psi, the stem is only rated to 60-65 lbs psi, that if it's not a high pressure stem, and that depends on how old/condition they are currently in. With running such a high psi the chance of wearing down the middle of the tire is greater and you'll end up buying new ones sooner. You'll have to buy new tires anyways so I guess it's a toss up as to when. Maybe look at a tire that has a stiffer side wall next time around if it looks low @ 35lbs psi.
That is a sweet ride for the price you paid!!

Tire age.

If you haven't checked the age of the tires, you should do so. Tires older than 6 years may not be safe. When I bought my 88 fj62 last spring, I checked the age of the tires, and they were 7 years old. The spare was 10 years old and the rubber was deeply cracked, even though the tread looked like it had never been used. I replaced all the tires. One less thing to worry about. Here is a reference on reading the codes on tires, etc.

Neutral safety switch and Shift bushings on order. Might order some carpet up too if its still available
