Going to replace it in a few weeks with one of Patricks. Hoping to find buyer/meet in GR when I go down to grab new rack.
Yakima fairing too. $400
No issues. Good rack that needs a good home.
A few months ago I spent some time in CO and it was in 30’s at night. I just got done w/ 10 days here in Northern Mi and it was in the mid to low 20’s at night.
I have a Tepui Ayre w/ a anti-condensation mat.
In the morning there would be frost under the mat on the floor of the Tepui. If I...
My second round tripper this summer to CO in the 60.
I follow Patrick/Bowfin Cruisers on Insta and saw his pics from the SAS. Which got me inspired to head west. After some advice and words of encouragement from Patrick, I packed up and took off. I left Wednesday the 30th and got back last...
Last summer my daughter and I were invited to participate in filming a short piece for Sage Fly Fishing. We spent 5 days with a film crew chasing the Hex Hatch here in Northern Michigan on the Au Sable River. My FJ60 got to play a role as well. The Film - Sage Trout Season 2020

My daughter Molly took a new job out in Denver, so I decided to caravan out there with her in my 60. Packed up my waders and a few fly rods with plans to hit water out in the Rockies and then a swing through the Driftless area of Wisconsin on the way home. Trip ended up being a bit over 3200...
1983 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60
Not mine..... but quite the specimen...
From one of the Bat regulars -
I saw this 60 in person a couple of months ago and it was stunning. I couldn’t believe how nice the interior was. Also, I purchased a car from the dealer and was exceptionally happy with the...
Didn’t think it was possible....... speeding in an FJ60.
After I got the new head dropped in, I decided to drive the FJ60 from TVC to Ionia Circuit Court for a motion hearing I had down there. On the way home I was headed north on M-66 towards Little Cannon Creek. I had the waders and the fly...
First - many thanks to Box Rocket for the hook up on the Tepui tent. Great price on a great tent. He helped me purchase a Tepui Ayer Sky and this was the first trip. Installation was easy. I did it by myself without any help. The online Tepui YouTube install video was super helpful. Tent...
I found this trailer here in Michigan. Plans are for a camping build. The PO replaced the bed w/ an older Datsun truck bed that was in good shape. New 6.00x16 tires and wiring/lights. Even has the original data plate. PO did a real nice job of restoring it and used to tow it in parades with a...
I’m nowhere near as talented as many of the folks here. I read with admiration and fascination all of the build threads. Tearing these rigs apart in your garage or at the curb to restore these Cruisers is something else.
Once again, I’m not as talented..... I have trouble changing...
The PO installed some kinda after market bumper that had back up lights built into the bumper, but they were never wired. So, I ordered a 3-way switch for the rear lights so they can be on in reverse, off or simply on which is nice when you are trying to pull your drift boat out of the river in...
After finding an 85 FJ60 a month or so back that had basically spent it’s entire life in the Colorado area, I towed it to my hometown in Northern Michigan and had Dave’s Garage in TVC help with a few things to get him ready for an inaugural road trip - transfer case, parking brake, head gasket...
I live in Northern Michigan. I owned my first FJ60 back in 1992. It was a 1985 that I found w/ 80K miles in Barrington Illinois. Back before kids, and shortly after the wedding, the wife and I took our “honeymoon” in it as we camped our way through Glacier National Park, Olympic National Park...
