Hey folks. im New to cruisers, been wheeling for some time though, mostly Broncos. I picked up an 89 FJ62 from 69cruzer (spence wilcox). From what i understand the truck has had some trail time, hopefully i can put some more on it!

Welcome,

Glad you were able to pick the truck up, it has a good history and if it wasn't from my trail carnage would be a mint truck, sorry bout that, was just using it for what it was built for.

You'll have a few good trips coming up here shortly to test her out and put her back on the trail.

Welcome aboard! I got a chance to see that truck in person a year or two ago and was impressed with it.

Hey Spence. thanks for the welcome. Had the 62 at Uwharrie today. I am amazed at the difference in capability between it and my rover.


Also, Ian from Extreme 4x4 tv was there in the bio diesel sami. That thing was pretty cool to watch. very capable truck. no idea why he put the steering box out past the front bumper though.
