Just an update. I checked out the 100 series and the other 60. The 100 was crusty underneath and the 60 was pretty clean, but it needed some work to get it running right. The guy with the 60 said, "Hey, I have an 80 series I might sell, too, if you'd be interested in that". Well, yes...yes...
Thanks for all the comments and insight guys. Fair points all around. This wouldn't be for DD duty. Just a fair weather family adventure/camping rig. I'm leaning towards the 100 series at this point. If nothing else, it's a platform I'm familiar with. I still need to schedule a time to go...
This 1982 FJ60 popped up locally and I made arrangements to check it out today. Overall, I'd consider it in very good shape, just thought I'd ask those of you here with much more experience for your thoughts. I'm a prior 100 series owner and have never looked at or owned a 60 series.
