jumped it off and got it home. guess new cables are on the list. I've had issues with them before. Thanks for the help!

ok that makes sense I'm gonna go back and try if it won't start on its own

I'm not sure how though, the battery is literally brand new bought it 4 hours ago

Just drove to target and when i came out my truck would not start. It was having trouble starting the other day and I just wrote it off as being an old battery(weak starts, barely turning over). I waited a day, bought a new battery and it started up fine. Now I'm realizing that the battery was...

259,000 and mine went out. Started going downhill around 252,000 i think cause that's when I got it, maybe even before. Lasted a few thousand while slipping and then finally wouldn't shift out of first.

I finally had to replace the A440 transmission in my 88 fj62 as well as the transfer case. I was wondering if the old trans and t case would be worth keeping. The trans has around 260k and was slipping badly, and wouldn't shift above 2nd. The t case worked perfectly and didn't have any issues...

Yeah I wanted to go but it was kind of a long drive and I wasn't prepared to camp. If there is one when it gets cooler i'm totally on board!

Yes! I think I saw you driving down 67 just the other week. Love your truck!!

20% all around

Got my windows tinted

From that first picture I was afraid that driveway had claimed another one! Good to have the 60 back though. I guess you finished the engine swap?

My passenger window motor died. Cruiser parts has it listed for $75. Could I go to a junkyard and pull one from an old 4runner for cheaper or will it not fit? Any advice appreciated. The window will not roll down and the voltage does not change when I try.

Peace of mind?

Well when you live in a not so populated area with no traffic it's not too big of a deal. Plus the 62 has great visibility and I can always stick my head out of the huge area that used to be a door...or just by some temporary mirrors to stick on the side

Eh. I don't plan to wheel it, just run around town. Not much traffic where i live so I don't think having tube doors is worth it to me.
