I didn't see it called out on the information section, does the high beam dash light still not turn on due to the lower power draw? My only hesitation with these are inspections in my state. Depending on who does the work these may or may not fail.

With the cityracer kit you can make the dash light work by replacing its bulb with an LED.
That's a neat workaround. I'll keep that in mind, thank you!With the cityracer kit you can make the dash light work by replacing its bulb with an LED.
On another note, does anyone know how to remove side to side play on the brake/clutch pedals? Is it as simple as tightening down the nut/bolt where the pedals pivot? I'm having an issue where I have to wiggle my brake pedal when I get out of the car because my brake lights don't always turn off. I see that I can adjust the depth of the switch for the brake lights but I'd like to tighten up the pedals while I'm down there.
No, you have to add a resistor. I bought one to put on but haven't plugged it in yet. Unlike the incandescent bulbs, I'm acutely aware when the brights are on.
The LED might work with this kit too.
I just tossed these Backcountry 285/75/17s on mine…The jury is still out but they are growing on me. Expensive tire I hope they’re with it!!

4-runner wheels look sharp.
Cruise control in my 60. I am transferring the circuit board, capacitor, and relay from a late mini truck into this stalk to retain the intermittent wiper functionality. Strangely some 1980s toyota stalks have the intermittent controls externally in a box, and some have them housed on the base of the stalk. Transferring the board seems like the easier and cleaner way to do it. If you dont need the intermittent wiper functionality, all of the wires pin out the same on the plug besides one, and then the 4 cruise wires are on its own little mini harness.
Simple enough right?
Also moving my dash light dimmer switch to that little blank under the cruise button using a smaller mini truck dimmer switch. That way i can have the entire left side where the choke switch used to be empty for ARB style rocker switches. Either going to 3d print a bracket to hold them or just cut out the dash and hard mount them into the metal to fill the gap.
Also measured all the lettering on the stalk with some calipers and Mo Faraz is going to make me some water transfer decals to replace the decals with. After some wet sanding and clear coat, this stalk and my turn signal stalk should look factory new
In theory it should all work. Have yet to see these controls used in a 60 before. Should be pretty awesome!
Also got my airbox lid finished up. Its basically been modified to be bigger, and to accept the GM MAF directly with GM factory positioned bolt tabs. No silicone adapters or hose clamps. The Splitter plate in the center of the MAF matches up with the Splitter plate in the center of the airbox lid outlet to create a more linear air intake. Still trying to decide if i am going to run one silicone hose from the MAF to the throttle body, or bend some steel tubing and run small silicone on each end. Whichever looks cleaner.
The airbox modification is basically a piece of exhaust tubing that i had stretched to make bigger on one end, then another piece of larger tubing that is the size of the LS MAF.

New hood liner. What a stark contrast.
They still sell these new??!

Did. At the time it was the last in the US. But doesn’t mean it’s NLA.
Damn nice! Mine is in great shape but two of the tabs are ripped through and they’re right next to each other so it looks super droopy
Jim, do you have pics?
I'll grab one and post later.

Greased my shackles (OME greasible system). Hadn't done this in about 10K, which was far too long. After looking through other threads here on MUD, I'm going to start greasing the shackles at every oil change, or once a quarter. Used a Moly blend. Sorted out the suspension shifting groan that I was developing in my front d/s suspension. An easy job that I should have done sooner. 10 minutes.
Slow wiper easy fix
Wipers on the '85 FJ60 had gotten to be very slow, both low and high speed. I finally decided to clean the ground wire attachment of the motor to see if that would help. It did and wiper speed was easily 2X as fast as before. The ground wire attaches to the bolt in the lower left corner. Use...

Trying to troubleshoot a brake issue I have. The brake lights like to stay on even when I release the pedal. The pedal itself has fully retracted to its resting position and if I wiggle it just right, the lights shut off. There's some side to side play in both the clutch pedal and the brake pedal. Should I tighten the nut and bolt at the pivot point to fix this? I can see that I can adjust the length of the brake light switch as well.
