I'm in Tampa and have been flirting with letting my '88 FJ62 go (I've had it since 2006 originally a CA truck). It got a 5.3L Vortec transplant back in 2016 and has numerous mods/upgrades that make it a bit more fun/reliable to drive (though I'm sure many would question the reliability of the...

Following this, @jebb. I have a similar issue that has been developing for years as my truck moved from southern CA (20ish years) to Kansas (1 year) to Virginia, Georgia, and now Florida. I really only see two options for me: 1) go the really expensive route and have all the rust spots...

Hi Everyone! For anyone that is following this thread or finds it while looking for DIY cargo or drawer ideas, I'd like to offer this one up for free to anyone living near enough Tampa, FL, to come pick it up (this is my original thread, so what you see built here is what you get). I have no...

I did an LS Swap into my FJ62 back in 2016, and we went through the decision tree on what pump/filter/FPR/etc. to use. I wanted to go full Aeromotive but my brother talked me into the simplest, best route (in my opinion) that few others seem to be using. We swapped a GM (Delco) EP378 pump for...

Love seeing a new option for this kind of kit! Question: are you able to install a fridge slide on top of the platform? Thanks!

I did cut the carpet there. It was super old and worn anyway. I put Dynamat on the floor that the drawer base sits on.

I have a set of 4 original 18" wheels off of my long-since-sold 100 series. Wheels are in great condition as far as I can tell (maybe a little dirty); I had replaced them with Methods/BFG AT2s and put them in storage in my in-laws' garage when I did. Pickup only in Falls Church, VA. $100...

Thanks for the comments! I have been very happy with this setup but have certainly been thinking about how I could do it better. My latest thought has been to remove the back seat altogether and run a flat panel from the tailgate to the back of the seats that would accommodate two storage...

Man, I completely missed this last year as things were starting to melt down so my apologies. Quick answer: everything has held up very well and remains solid as a rock. One thing to note: it's very easy for dirt/dust/grime/food/whatever to get in the slides. Careful with using any...

Bump - appreciate any feedback as well!

Finally, the cosmetic blemishes. Highlighting here the rubbing on the clear coat from the kayak straps; the mystery hole in the plastic grille trim; and the very small stitch separation in the passenger seat. Everything else is normal wear on a 15yo truck.

Wheels: close-ups of the Methods and the BFGs. These are less than two years old (less than 20K miles) and have been rotated regularly. Again, I have the original 18" wheels and those will be included.

Engine: bad on me, as I forgot to clean the engine bay before I took pics (I was elsewhere without access to a hose or wet rag). That said, she's clean. You can see the detail on the dual battery system (the braided wiring and the Slee tray).

Undercarriage: as I noted, it has been a northern VA truck all it's life so it has seen some snow and some salted roads. I believe it spent a lot of time in a garage for the first 13 years but I don't have a garage and I drove it during the last two winters. Undercarriage rust isn't bad for...

And a few more. This one has the rear DVD system but it didn't work when I bought it and I haven't tried to fix it (I think I still have the headsets and remote, though). It actually plays the DVD that's stuck in it, so if you like The Phantom of the Opera you're in luck!
