Pacific Swell-

Thats a great looking cruiser! What kind of cargo mat is that?

[Pacific Swell]

I ordered it from Mat Depot. It's the rubbertite type. It's cut to fit the 60. The set (2 pc. front, 1 pc 2nd seat and cargo mat) cost $153.56 free shipping. I kept the original carpet and had it steamed cleaned then layed the new mat on top. I'm very happy with the result.

[gnavarroo]

1. Year and model of vehicle: 1985 FJ60

2. Name of owner: George Navarro AKA gnavarroo

3. Name of vehicle: "The Bloo Crusher"

4. Mileage on the truck odometer: 189,000

5. Modifications, if any: Other than the 16" alloy wheels it came with None yet, Still trying to catch up the maintenance... PO left it in pretty shotty condition

5A. New repairs: Ex/Intake Manifold job, new vac. lines, partial desmog, new coat of paint (had it done cuz insurace paid for it ), corrected spacers/lugs on wheels, new radiator and rad hoses...

5B. Things to do next (in priority): New clutch, t'case rebuild, replace U-joints, axle knuckle rebuild, rebuild AC syst. (summers are Freakin' HOT HOTHOT in New Mexico!), new shocks and suspension up grades... possibly a 3" lift.

5C. Rust: Absolutely NONE! This truck had the original Las Cruces Toyota sticker on the rear bumber when I got it... so it's lived in the dry South Western air it's entire life! Lucky me!

6. How you use the truck: Up until recently, it was a yard and street ornament. Cought up on a few things over the last year (slowly but steadily) Now drive it out to Mountain bike trails and use it for haulin' stuff around...

7. A single photo – 29 April, 2007 First pic of the Bloo Crusher in the Southern Doña Ana Mountains, after a mountain bike ride and just before the rare Desert rain... Ahhhhhhhh

I've owned the Land Cruiser for almost 4 years now and I'm finally getting to know this cool thing thanks to this forum. I think I got hosed on the purchase back in 2003 but a little bad luck that turned into good luck and a little "TLC" has brought this truck a ways... It still needs a little more until I can totally put my total trust in it... it wont be long! (about 2months and ~$800 away!)
Thanks to all that have replied to all my questions no matter how simple or dumb... or how repeated they were.
Thanks
George Navarro

Hi there, just wanted to know how she handles with the SOA and is the any chance of a pic of your cut quarters? wanted to do this but was concerned with the body mount reinforcements that run down the inside of the Quarters.

Cheers
