    Small project but super satisfying. Installed new D-pillar trim from the Rust Farmers. So good and perfect fit. Fresh!

    They are about 30". Mild lift from Tough Dog. Definitely smaller than most run but they perform great and always get me where I need to go. This is not a wheeler rig so nothing that crazy in regards to trails. It needs to serve a do it all function.

    Met up with @NookShneer and @Bullzi and some others and camped in an awesome spot. A few water crossings, threaded the fat cruiser needle between tight trees, soupy sand and took a couple wrong and over grown trails that I had to delicately back out of but Blue Guy conquered it all perfectly. I...

    Oh yeah, the A440F is the worst part of the FJ62 hands down. Getting rid of it for the H55F is the best performance mod you can do. :steer:

    Yeah I thought about that one a lot when I had the top end apart for the fuel system refresh. As far as I can tell all the smog systems are working so I figured I would leave it for now. Anything to help reduce the emissions is good in my book as long as its working correctly. That being said...

    I just love this wagon. I have been driving it around a lot lately. It's happy and I am happy. Met up with @TheNeek the other day to work on some projects. Always love seeing his impeccably built 60. Truly beautiful and the attention to detail is beyond amazing. I also did a final test...

    New Meats on Blue Guy today! Old Toyo AT2s were 10 years old. Still plenty of tread but just too old. Got new Toyo AT3s. I love the tires so I stuck with what worked well. Tire size is 245/75R16. I personally find this size tire the perfect balance on a stock FJ62. Fantastic on and off road and...

    Nice another Sony vote. Its a bummer the newer models got rid of the volume dial.

    Thanks! I'll go check that out. I think the double DIN screens actually look good in a 62. Since they were made in the late 80s (digital revolution and expansion of personal computers), I feel their design is amenable to some increased digital presence. :)

    Ordered a pair of those sweet double DIN radio brackets from @ChaserFJ60 . What double DINs are people running and love? Looking for recommendations. :)

    Nothing new, just have been loving this old FJ62. Still need to restore the rear heater switch. Snapped this pic of the tach while on a errand the other day. I love how beat up the tach is. Its seen things, been on adventures and hopefully many many more. :steer:

    Haven’t messed with those but I’m not surprised to hear there is room for improvement! :D While the wiring is high quality, it’s all getting long in the tooth now. now I want to go unwrap and check mine.

    No, the motor was pretty clean inside! But I wanted to check and I refreshed the lube inside. Would I do it again?…. Probably not. I think the bigger issues with these things are the relays you replace, master switches and power flow (good grounding).
