Hi there.My name is Ryan, and I'm a cruiser junky.
One of my rigs is a 83' fj60.Nothing to crazy yet.There is a project I'm workin on and then maybe this one will go under the knife for a bit.
She has a 4 inch BDS lift.How the story goes, the lift that is on there was BDS's test springs for when they were R&Ding a lift for the 60 series.Thats the story I have been told.She sits on 33inch MTR's.Well 3 of them.You'll see in the pics what happened to the 4th tire.Locked front and rear.I installed the front locker.Was locked in the rear from the PO.Has a ARB front bumper with a warn winch.A "custom" rear bumper my buddy made for his 60 before she went to heaven and I traded something for it.The drive train is stock for now except for the lockers and longfields.The body has all sorts of "mods" from rocks and trees.I can't say there is one straight panel left.She had been threw a hail storm at some point cuz the hood and whole roof are all dents from death above.I have good hoods, fenders, doors lift gate/tail gate to swap someday, but it seems like a lot of work just to get dented all over again.
She plays DD/ trail rig for now.Have been known to drive 8 hours, wheel all weekend and drive back home.Not to bad for having about 250,000 miles and chit load of spares with.
Future mods: Really need to install some sliders and protect the rear quarters.Bigger tires and lower gears.I go around and around about swappin in a bigger motor and such.Leaning towards diesel.Maybe serve tow duty when the project gets done.Stretch the wheel base out back a bit.Some more power.We'll see.
My camera was being a POS so I couldn't get any recent pics.She looks the same.So here's the pics I do have. Ryan
