Last week I picked up a 1989 FJ62 from a local club member. The story I received is it was sold on mud and came out of Virginia. If anyone has any details on it or recognizes it I love to learn more about it. In the last year, It’s changed hands a few times here in NC in the ONSC club and now to me.
Its future home will be in north Alabama with Fort Hampton Outfitters, a small boat rental, guided fishing company. It will be the new river Cruiser used for exploring steams and promotional purposes. The plan is over the next few months I’ll be bringing it back and going through it making it a reliable driver the owner and his family can use. This won’t be a restoration but more of a baseline to preserve it so it’s around in another 30 years.
Even the smog is all there. I’ll be removing it but it’s amazing when you come across one that is as complete/untouched as this one.
A few months ago I tried to purchase it for me personally. A few things that stood out to me as a good candidate to save truck is it was 99% complete, minimal rust, and only 177k.
All the trim is there, the bottom of the doors/tailgate are all perfect, and it’s never been modified.
