    60 series clear window tint

    By jonnyd42

    I'm baking and need to do something about this. I want to preserve the fishbowl look and am looking at a few options including ceramic and 3M crystalline. We have a model 3 in the family with OEM tint and I'd be ok with that level - looks like it's 80 VLT . Can you guys share pics of your rigs with ceramic or 3M crystalline, and which specific SKU you picked + how you like it?

    LX470 ARB bumper radiator skid plate

    By Jbomb76

    Hey everyone, hoping someone here can help me out. I’ve searched all over the internet and have called ARB on three separate occasions regarding the ARB Deluxe bumper I purchased for my 2000 Lexus LX470. I’m trying to locate the skid plate that mounts underneath the bumper and helps protect the radiator. I’ve seen this skid plate installed on several LX470/100 Series setups in YouTube videos that I used as references before installing my bumper. However, all three ARB representatives I’ve...

    Timing Mark Help

    By Beech4wd

    Hello fellas, I have just changed my timing belt and I went to go drive it afterwards and it was fine at idle. But when I started to go more than 10 mph the truck started to shake and the turbo noises out of the Exaust sounded sporadic and then I went back to idle it did not stop shaking and studdering. It seems like the timing was off maybe a tooth. I opened it back up and they look pretty much dead on the marks, are they supposed to be different? Can anyone please chime in on this? Thank...

    FJ40 brake booster firewall adapter??

    By sandsfj40

    Looking at putting a brake booster (FJ40 or 60) into my 66' FJ40 to power the stock drums on the back and 79' FJ40 disc brake front axle. I was planning on piecing in the firewall from a mid-70's with the curved rib support, and 4hole mounting. Then I realized the pedal assembly would still be 3 holes. I dont want to run the huge adapter bracket (first pic) and wouldnt mind using the smaller adapter plate style (Second pic). Anyone have experience with this type of conversion... Read more

    1958 project Sundune

    By Indygbd

    I’m going to start the restoration on my 1958 FJ25 this spring and decided to start a thread for it today. I was not sure what to name it so I decided to use it’s original color. Sundune? Below are photos of parts I have acquired for the project. This truck is the earliest known 1958 in the U.S.. The data plate is unique and is stamped 1958, all numbers match, and it is titled as a 1958. It’s unique features also match the original 1958 FJ25 owners manual. ... Read more

    AC/HVAC - Low Pressure adapter fix for bad valve?

    By tone33

    I have a 2007 LX470 - looks like the valve for the low pressure side is bad. I tried switching out the valve core, but it still leaks. I have verified leaking by connecting high side (system is open), and leaving low side off. I run the vacuum pump and can feel suction on the low side. Same result if i pull vacuum with everything connected - as soon as I close the low side valve, then pop off the quick connect, it loses vacuum (hisses). Is there an adapter available I can use to fix this... Read more

    Introduction and Charcoal canister routing question.

    By thisollandcruiser

    I've meaning to do this introduction for a while. I've been grateful for this community of FJ60 wizards and will still definitely need more help. I purchased this FJ60 a year or so ago and am loving the process of fixing issues. (Of which there are many). We're planning on using this as our adventure rig and project for the foreseeable future. It has been desmogged, and has had a Weber carburetor installed prior to my owning it. Along with the pictures of the car, I've added a picture from... Read more

    LX Headlight Upgrade Database

    After all the recent threads, I just figured I would compile everything into one resource thread for people to use and share their upgrades. It is also a great place to ask questions as I have dealt with about every HID setup on the market, and all the questions can be in one thread for future reference. I am not affiliated with The Retrofit Source, but believe they have the best products and customer service on the market, and have been using them for many years with absolutely amazing... Read more

    What car is this? - Tokyo Edition

    By marcfj60

    My son, Colin, just started an internship at at a church in Tokyo. He is working toward a Master’s of Divinity with the goal of becoming a Presbyterian pastor. He has been sending me photos of interesting cars since he got there a few weeks ago. I figured out the yellow Datsun is a 1200 Ute. But I’m a little confused with the Land Cruiser-ish thing. It has elements of a Prado and a 60-series. Any ideas?

    Headgasket/head issue on FJ60 2F following H55 swap

    By mfischer1015

    Hi all, first post here! Unfortunately not just a simple intro post. I recently bought a new-to-me 1987 FJ60. Worked great, I then did a transmission swap to an H55. Lots of learning along the way frankly, but the new clutch, rear main, and transmission are in. Mid-way through the swap I started to notice a coolant leak that seemed to originate from the line running along the back of the engine from the inside of the car to the rear heater. After the new transmission was in, I did... Read more
