Okay so, eliminate the HJ models. What countries were the FJ62s offered with manual transmissions? I'm trying to figure out why a U.S. based part supplier is advertising parts for a model never offered in the U.S.. Or was it? If it was I'd really like to find one.

I was recently told by a parts supplier, won't name names, that fj62 models were offered with a manual transmission, MAINLY outside of the United States. This goes against my understanding of the fj62 . Can anyone enlighten me to the truth on the subject?

Jon, are you in Moab yet? I'm at Slickrock Campground.

I made it once with Johnny and its totally worth the trip. It's also got to be some sort of regional carnage capitol because I noticed above average breakage numbers. My front hub exploded the first day out which lead to a few other things. Those trails will find your rigs limitations for sure...

Go to Moab. Go to Moab. Go to Moab Johnny this is getting lame. Go to Moab. Go to Moab. Go to Moab.

I actually saw an suv with a similar sticker in Utah last spring.

I was also on that Pritchet Canyon run and love this truck. I wish I had the money cause I'd buy it in a heartbeat. GLWS

Hey Al, keep me in the loop on your moving plans. I have some very good friends just north of Seattle in Mt Vernon. I'll be heading that way periodically. In the coming years I also plan to get my cruiser up that way for an event.

There was a guy in the race a while back that had a Jurassic Park painted GEO Metro with a V8 bolted down behind the front seats. Mid-engine. That thing was screamin around the track till the engine blew. But it qualified to race. And yes you could modify a 40 to race. There's essentially three...

Oh and another thing. At Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw at least, the day prior to the race you can test the car during designated sessions. Also, for additional cost, you can take any car of your own out onto the track with a trainer during staggered sessions.

I built and raced 2 cars for my former employer. The car chosen needs a street value of approximately $500 before any modifications. Like a stock 1996 Mazda Miata. You cant do anything to the motor but you have an unlimited allowance for "safety" equipment. The car also needs to be built to a...

Holy crap it's got a shaft sticking out of it! Must be a Caitlin... I mean a tranny.

Awesome. It was awesome. This time I made hells gate look easy. Even though my spotter put me in the same place I slid into the last time, I crawled right through. Ironically an fj60 built like mine in 2012 had to winch from the same exact spot I was stuck that same year. Our spotter wasn't...

Add a good toolbox up front and two removable jacks to the rear corners. Store the two jacks in the toolbox. Lots of overkill tie down points. I've always had to re-weld those or add them where I wanted them. I also used receiver mounts for my winch so I could remove it and lock it up, as well...

That ARB is worthless. Not straight and won't mount on anything but that guys 60 I bet, and has no winch mount. It's just a brush bumper. Yours looks like a better base to build off of. And if he's asking $5k for a rusty 60 he's nuts and probably won't deal.
