Did some rock-hounding near the Salton Sea (for metavolcanic called "Wonderstone") and Myer Valley in Imperial County (Petrified wood).
After loading the vehicle with probably about 1000 lbs of rock, the suspension was noticeably lower in the rear. If that's what it takes to get the...
Sweet rig, happy trails. My old man was a over the road trucker and he says the best way to enjoy the beauty of this country is to get off the interstate; they all look the same.

And another day at work.
We all know that these 70 series wheels work, but I thought I'd post up the pics anyway. They have 255 85R16 Cooper Discoverer STs on them and are held up by the complete Dobinson Suspension system for the HJ61 that I recently had installed.
And another one from Vandenburg Airforce Base. I post it only because there are so many videos out there of people going up a mild hill on a dirt road and they think that is "serious off road driving". An FJ60 seems to make roads like this to be child's play.
This was a couple weekends ago on the southern part of Vandenburg Airforce Base. Not many people get to see this part of the California coastline. Million dollar views....
The Dobinsons complete kit on my 60 ride decent but I hope they'll break in a bit more. I've had them on less than 1K miles. Its the HJ61 kit with the heavy shocks (GS59-637). I've very happy with the carrying capacity though. What used to completely bottom out the old stock suspension now works...
I'll highly recommend my mechanic, Mike Francis at Rock Solid Offroad aka RSO Performance. He's in San Jacinto and does great work at a reasonable rate. He speaks FJ62 as well. Recently he had his FZJ80/40/55 "Sniper" on the cover of 4WD Toyota Monthly. His number is (951)654-5404, not the (909)...
Mine wasn't failing but I recently replaced mine with an LED assembly from Odd Iron Offroad in GA. Works great. At night it makes like daylight in the cabin.
