I am about to fix this exact area on my 85 of the same color as yours.

I have a set of lightly used Monroe shocks out of my 85 FJ60. Part# 32287 and 31094. You will need to source some bushings. Free. You will just pay for shipping either USPS priority mail.

@ChaserFJ60, I received my bezel and ash tray switch panel. Thank you, great quality. Thank you too for the Blue FJ60--I got to put a some wheels and a lift kit on it!

If you were local, I would consider it. As is, with shipping both ways, leather and labor, you would end up with a $400-$500 dash. As for the removing of the dash cover, you do not. Your repair the damage with the filler of your choice, sand it smooth, and then you cover it with leather.

There was a some stretching in the area of the instrument cluster and around corners. A 62 dash has smoother lines; I think you can do it far easier than a 60. There is only one area, circled, that might require patience. If I were doing a 62 dash I would start the glueing process at the...

The hide was about $100 plus tax, purchased at the local Tandy. The key with leather is to prevent it from drying to the point of cracking and breaking the fibers. As long as I treat it with a quality leather product if should be fine. I have used this stuff Outback Survival Gear - Leather Seal...

That is a concern. It is good quality leather, probably thicker than what is used on factory leather covered dashes. I live in California's Central Valley where the heat and sun can be tough during the summer. For protection I'll use the standard screen shades that block direct sun. Long term...

What started as a "I want a bluetooth head unit" in the landcruiser, turned into cleaning up the previous owners wiring mess and redoing the dash. For the head unit I choose a BLAUPUNKT Vermont 72. It is very basic, about $25 on Amazon. I bought a whole hide from Tandy Leather; it was an...

Until you decide your course of action, you can place a bag of freshly ground coffee inside the cruiser. It will mask just about any smell, and hopefully your wife will smell that and not the imaginary exhaust smell combined with the old truck smell.

Alright, here is the update on the fabric that's being sold on eBay. The fabric is similar on thickness to the original fabric-- upholstery quality. The color is more vibrant than the original fabric on my seats; I expect this due to fading. Not knowing our original brown seats looks when they...

I just bough some of the fabric from the ebay seller the OP mentioned. Once I receive it I will take pictures of it next to my OE seats.

Besides the EGR, check the carburetor to air filter gasket ring.

Owning a 60 or 62 involves a strong level of commitment, busted knuckles, blood, sweat, and tears...and money. It has its elements of a cult -- maybe its the other way around and the 60/2 own us. Plus if you are gonna live in LA ( why? there are lots of us looking for a way out) or most anywhere...
