i'm with 2mbb, never driven a 62 or 80.

but i also say, why not got for the old school looks of an FJ60 (round headlights), and a 4 speed? It has to be better for wheeling in my opinion, but i may be biased in never owning an automatic (i get bored behind the wheel).

The 2F had a carb that can be regularly tuned and maintained, compared to electronic fuel infection...

70 mph is no problem with the four speed, if fact the power maintained at higher RPM is probably better than a 5 speed for this.

In my opinion, FJ60 parts are probably easier to source than FJ62...
