Atlanta, GA
281K miles
Desmogged, engine & trans rebuilt, interior redone, rear end rebuild
Wanted a 4x4 toy to go play with my buddies, haul two dogs around, and camping
To be completed right away: replace all original hoses (there are lots!), valves, general tune up, front end rebuild (leaking pretty badly). I'm totally digging the two-tone "brown and champagne" paint as well.

Just picked up my first Land Cruiser. Not my first project but hopefully my first long term.
83 fj60 in off white. Needing to find an AC kit so I don't die from heat stroke.

Talk to coolstream here on the forums (think that is his name) he will have everything you need and is a great help.
1. 1985 FJ60
2. Keith
3. Wife calls it "POS"; after some TLC she'll come around
4. 208K
5. All stock, for now
6. Just got it 3 weeks ago but plan to use for hunting, weekender, and bugout vehicle if it comes to that.
It was sitting for two years so I'm going through major mechanicals now. PS Pump is a mess, and I want to do a Saginaw conversion but doubting my ability. Great ride though with no rust and amazingly resilient despite the neglect.

^^^^ Bernie couldn't be a better vehicle for it and seems like you got a great "indicator" of what can be found out there. Can't believe he still even has the snake blinders!! What a beautiful example of a stock 60!
For sure! I got my one owner California Fj60 from my dad. It still has the snake blinders as well
When it stops raining I will pull her out of the garage and snap some pics for the registry
Approvals and back slaps all around!
The versatility of this vehicle to deliver us to mountain tops and continually pull drive-by head turns brings the FUN with every shift. At my age, I've earned the right to romanticize a bit, but this truck inspires and moves people. Heck... the weather outside even looks better from behind the wheel! Funny that as I approach retirement, I've now discovered my perfect carrier... TLC Chauffeur.
