Not sure I could leave that FJ62 sitting in Ecuador all year except for a few weeks. But would not bring it to New York to be driving it on salted roads.

What is your plan for it? Bing it up TO new York or leave in Ecuador and use it there?
FYI power steering was an option from 1/79 in the 40 series. It was never standard equipment.
