Clutchee
I'm fun sized!
Guess its time to explain my 60. Just like a lot of cruiserheads I started out with a FJ40 that was to say the least rusted......well due to a family issue I was forced to sell it.
Fast forward a year & during a job of working on Case brand equipment I meet a salesman there that had 2 Land Cruisers-JACKPOT. Well during this I went to drink a with him and see his rigs. Arriving at his house I see his FJ40 out side but a wagon is under a car cover........a few minutes later & very curious I ask to see it.
He pulls back the cover & I see a red 86 FJ 60 with 112K on it.
I was in love.
After a few more visits and 's I explained I wanted to buy his 60.
He said he had not driven it in 3 years, just started it regularly and nothing else. So after meeting on a price it was mine......
Acquiring it I did what any person getting a 4x4 did, I took it out to the country where all 4x4 go & proceeded to try everything there-SUCCESS
What changed everything was my first GSMTR04, I showed up with a stock
FJ60 with some 31 BFG All Terrains-I thought I came prepared-WRONG.:whoops:
Well after seeing rigs with SOA & TSL's - I started the mods process.
In this rig I wanted to have a trail rig that could handle 3/4 rated trails but also drive there and back. Seems like due to my job I could not afford a tow rig & trailer so my DD would be my trail rig.
So began the mods listed below:
2.5 BDS Lift
1" Daystar Shackles
33X12.5X15 Goodyear MTR's
Full Floating Rear Axle
Re Geared to 4:11's
ARB'd Front & Rear
NO SMOG Stuff
Homemade Sliders
JK Rear Bumper
ARB Front Bumper
Tradesman Roof Rack
Hella Lights
Dents:
Right Front Fender GSMTR 06
Right Rear Quater Panel/Tail LIght ICBM05
