My New 62
Just picked this one up in Baltimore MD last week.
My first 60-series. 1990 FJ-62 DoM: 12/89 193000k miles Mostly stock, has new MAF exhaust (which leaks so she failed VA safety inspection today, but PASSED emissions...) |

Looks pretty clean. Are you planning any upgrades?

First upgrade (done yesterday) was to weld the exhaust sections and eliminate the leaks so I could pass inspection...mission complete.
Next will be shocks I think, but I'm eyeballing an OME lift... We'll see. Jim |

Kimohh,
I strongly recomend the OME shocks and Dakar springs with anti-inversion shackles. Go with the "medium" or "heavy" springs if you plan to carry friends and gear. I have a "light" set on my 40 and they are a little too soft. Good Luck __________________ 80' FJ40- OME, 33's, mostly stock 94' FZJ 80- "Ole Reliable RV Toad" 06' UZJ100L |

Ditto on the dakars...best thing I've done! After 23 years my stock springs were shot...med/hvy dakars and OME shocks/stabilizer made a huge difference in ride quality.
