| FJ60, FJ62 frame wanted Got a parts rig that's ready to be crushed? I'm looking for a good, rust-free frame from a 60 or 62 to do a swap on my HJ60. Ideally the frame will be ready to go (ie, off the donor truck).
I'm in Austin, TX, and would like to avoid any shipping charges if possible. I can pick up within a 200-300 mile radius.

| Drive to Central America and get a clean one from an HJ60 installed for only slightly more than the frame cost up here!!

| Sounds fun. What shape was your frame in when you made the trip down? I'm sure some of the roads along the way would put my frame to the test, which wouldn't be a problem as long as I got stranded somewhere beautiful like the Oaxacan coast.

| My frame had cracks in it! It wasn't broken but I had made repairs to it in the past.
