Nice job, Rusty man! Enjoy your rehab experience.

I’m going to be honest with you, Rusty, this ain’t an easy driveway or roadway fix. Popping sounds while steering the vehicle can emanate from a host of front suspension components, too many to mention here involving tools as crude as blow torches to sledge hammers. And, if the spring bushings...

$15k sounds fair…but at that relatively low mileage, the owner better have some verifiable maintenance and upkeep records. Of course a well kept original interior & minimal frame and body rust is an obvious I WANT IT, be aware that responsible Owners who KNOW vintage Land Cruisers , KNOW...

Interesting discussion. I notice the manufacture of Japan 555’s omit grease zerks…no offense, but in my opinion “jackass reason”, although plausible! I’m coming up on a change-out and the Japan Fuji end set appears to be reasonably priced but is there a definitive answer as to the best quality...

Very, very impressive. Wish you could pursue the bottom & top thermostat housings for the ‘62 Series…any chance?

My prayers are with you paint guys...true aficionados! Beautiful thread and forgive me for the hi-jack, but Heck with the paint! My only forever wish is a dash bezel of this magnitude for the last of the true FJ’s…the FJ62. Can anyone out there overcome “it’s not worth the effort” attitude...

Simply the BEST…BETTER THAN ALL THE REST!

Where to plumb into on an FJ62?

I’d say someone put some ft./lbs. behind that initial install/tightening…WOW!

Not “lame” at all. Pretty cool shot In a mid- winter setting. I’d give it a special place in the home.
