Hello everyone, first time poster and lucky new custodian of an FJ62. The rig spent the first 30 years as a Colorado ranch truck before migrating to Central Oregon where it has been used sparingly. Only 143K miles, very dry, but everything is original. Everything. I’ll post pics on Monday.
I’ve been lurking on this site for some time, reading posts and formulating plans for the truck. My goal is to use it to take the dogs out running and as a Ski/SUP/Fly Fishing rig. I plan to preserve the exterior patina (for now) and create a comfortable, reliable truck.
The brakes feel squisy, engine seems less peppy than my old ‘84 FJ60 was 20 years ago, the suspension is original and the knuckles look like black grease pumpkins. What do you recommend I address first?
Cheers,
Ron
