Hi all-
I recently became the new custodian for an original 1988 FJ62 with 142K miles. Pretty much everything works as it should, drives and stops fine, but with 33 years as a ranch truck and fly fishing guides rig, it needs just about everything inside and out.
Bumps and bruises all over, but I love and plan to preserve the patina.
Original dash and the cleanest part of the carpets
Fly hooks in headliner are staying.
Nothing says "Don't steal this POS" like some rust
The goal of this truck is to have a comfortable and reliable rig for the family to take skiing, hiking with dogs, SUPing and fishing around town and the back roads of Central OR.
Mechanicals, brakes, suspension, new tires, etc will be addressed first. The truck goes to Fit Garage here in Bend in a couple of weeks.
After mechanicals are sorted, I'll completely update the interior. Making plans for that now, although with supply chains what they are, the interior will be a Spring or Summer project...
Cheers,
Ron
