It went to Idaho, was resprayed and then ended up on a Pineapple Plantation in Hawaii. Some trucks have all the luck! The HJ61 is currently in Nevada, the guy who bought it from Dustin just keeps it in his collection down there. I haven't seen it venture out anywhere.

That non turbo BJ70 was sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once I hacked about 300 lbs of random tube bumper off of it that thing would motor! Totally changed my mind about Having/Needing a turbo. But I also drove that non turbo 77, different story. 0-60 measured by sundial! I miss the HJ61 that was...

I need a new cruiser so I can debate what parts to buy again.

I believe that is to lower the spare tire down. I could be wrong as I've never needed to!!! Knock on wood!

This isn't a fair comparison because we bought her 5 years ago. She had 39k on the clock and was meticulously maintained. Paid $22k then rolled $3k of negative from the wife's mistake of a malibu. Just paid her off and she drives great! Almost time for the second timing belt we have 180k now...

My GX rear air bags just crapped out. Looking for a set of rear FJ Cruiser rear springs or 03-09 4runner rear springs. 0-2" of lift is fine as the front is leveled already. Let me know! Micah 801 824 50 nine nine micahplatt@gmail.com

I sold this truck last year and it is back on the market. Great rig wish I could buy it back. https://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/3809777 Dave is a good dude!

Beers?

I used an engine hoist to lift the entire front or rear. I worked one axle at a time and left the tires on since I was by myself and without "Proper" safety equipment. This worked for me as I have a compressor and air tools. Nothing fancy just helped with stubborn bolts. I've also done one...

Saving a couple bucks on shackles and pin hangers could cost you hours of torches, pull pals, broken knuckles and curse words. That being said I have lifted a number of 60 series and two of those were rusty and crusty. I spent an entire week spraying down with PB blaster every nut and bolt I...

Dave is a cool guy pretty reasonable to work with. I sold the truck to him and he's taken really good care of it. I believe he has my old Gamiviti feet and load bars I originally made for my tepui tent before the Prinsu Rack too. PM me if you want his cell. He's trying to sell old blue as...

Sorry Super Late to the party. Mine was a prototype 60 rack, but I spoke with Zach and his normal day job has exploded and he actually sold his designs and business to CBI.

I went from FJ40 Stock seats to FJ62 Stock seats to HJ61 suspension seat to PT Cruiser Seats in an FJ60 now to my GX. So comfort is relative! All seats wear out and I agree that a 6'2" 280 lb guy wears them out faster, but I've had good success with local upholstery shops fixing my seats.

I like how these look. They came off a 2017 4Runner. Same Dimensions i believe. I'm running 265/70R17 Toyo ATII with a 2 inch strut spacer up front and tricked airbags out back. Way better than the crappy chrome wheels that were on it! (And yes that is victoria secret behind the truck)
