We currently have a 2011 FJ Cruiser NSSE MT as a daily driver and recently bought a 1987 FJ73. The FJ73 is mostly stock and in good original condition. The FJ73 is a manual and has 3F gasoline motor with the OEM canvas convertible top. It also has full doors on the back and A/C. We drove the truck home on highway at 75mph, and the truck has 135,000 kms on the clock. The truck has aftermarket wheels with BFGoodrich AT in 285/70 (which is funny b/c thats what we have on the 2011).
The near term to-do's are:
1) drive it and enjoy it
2) OEM wheels
3) possibly get a roll cage b/c the truck seems dangerous
4) remove some accessory electrical stuff it doesn't need
5) clean the top
6) freshen up suspension and steering
7) and more but don't want to be a bore
Learned about these trucks, and diesel defenders, while on surfing trips in Nicaragua and Costa Rica - never knew these even existed until last year!
