I do not now nor have ever owned either an FJ62 or an FJ80. Therefore, I feel I am qualified to respond...

Don't these two vehicles essentially have the same engine?

The FJ80 has coil springs which gives a more comfortable ride. Doesn't the FJ80 have a full floating rear axle?

Neither the FJ80 nor the FJ62 have round headlights.

Therefore the swap to the FJ62 doesn't make sense to me. My recommendation would be to "upgrade" to an FJ60. It would be the truly unique driving experience compare to the FJ80. Also, we all know the FJ60/2F is easier to work on than FJ80/FJ62. And the final argument is that the FJ60 comes stock with the ultra-cool round headlights.
