everything in this thread is spectacular 
1985 FJ60 175,000 miles. Purchased new at Desert Toyota in Tucson, AZ, I am the the third one and it has lived in the Tucson area it's whole life. Base color re stripe done in 2017 by the same person who did the original dealer stripes in 85'! I finished off with the colors and logos wheels have been plasti dipped so can easily go back to chrome.
Congrats! Love the new stripes and what a cool story that the same guy got to install the new ones
Getting close....
Oh and I meant to post pics of the guard, it came out pretty nice... please excuse the masking tape, shooting undercoat tomorrow.
I have had a few questions regardin the stripes so let me clarify.
I actually did the stripes and had the Toyota logos made by sticker Mule. The only thing he did was the large silver base stripe over the old original. I just bought vinyl individual color stripes of different sizes along with

One (1989) is just back from paint. Wife is the second owner.
The other (1988) is her previous truck that we got in 2006. I .. made a project out of it. Not sorry. At least it’s all Toyota!

Very nice! I've always wondered about the seemingly vast array of different stripes. Are they dealer-specific? So that a particular striping scheme denotes the dealer?

Nice!

Really awesome thread. I probably posted this one before but it is one of my favorite pics of all the Cruisers I have owned.
A short story; I was 17yrs old in 1990. My father was killed on the job when I was five. I got some money from that, wasn’t supposed to get it until I was 18 but I got it about six months early since I graduated high school early. I wanted a nice ride badly. Almost bought a brand new Cherokee Sport, wanted a Range Rover but couldn’t afford one. Came across a 1987 FJ60 in the autotrader, it was at a Toyota dealership about sixty miles from me. I didn’t have a car so I called them up and asked if they could bring it up for me to see, they wanted like $16.5k for it and it had 40,000 miles on it. They said ok, we will send the new guy up with the truck.
They send him up after 5pm, we checked it out and drove it. Never seen a 60 up close at that point in life. I wanted it so I offered $14k, cash which I had on hand. New guy says I got to call the boss to ok it, so he does. Gets off the phone and says, we will take your offer. So we do the deal, I had to drive him back home that sixty miles. On the way, he asks, would you have paid $16.5k for it? I said yup, I have another $2.5k in my pocket, I was buying the truck no matter what. He let out a few cuss words and I just smiled!
And that is how I got started with Cruisers.
Cheers

The second one with the front end off. Is that the 60 body transplanted into an 80 chassis? Or have you modified the 60 chassis for coils?

Shortened 80 chassis. Factory locked axles. 1fz-fe.
