Registry 60-series Registry

[KennyBob]

Long time listener, first time caller. This is my 5th Cruiser, but my first 60. I’ve had 2 80s an 81 and a 40. Always loved the styling of the 60s, but they always seemed to be out of reach. While acquiring my HDJ81 I realized I was in the realm of what a decent 60 would cost. The 81 was great, but I still found myself looking at 60s. Fast forward, I found this beauty in Amarillo. Needs a little TLC but she’s VERY clean.

[FJ6012HT]

An informal registry for FJ60’s, BJ60’s, and HJ60’s of all types – yes. 61’s and 62’s included… This will be a sticky thread.

Rules of order – ONLY ONE post per vehicle – no comments on the thread or you will have me editing – which resembles work, to which I am averse.

What I would like you all to post… and please keep it brief, OK?

1. Year and model of vehicle
2. Name of owner

Hi! I just bought this baby and its my first 4x4 with attended use only at work and offroad. It spent 10 years in a barn but was welded back to life. Lift is 2-4" below what it has been, therefore I immediately ordered a full EMU-kit for the front. Propably end up doing rear end also. Ridicuously expensive low maintenance car

1. Year and model of vehicle: 1982 HJ60 manual 24 volt spec
2. Name of owner: Antti
3. Name of vehicle (optional): Many names but 'Crawler' is beginning to settle.
4. Mileage on the truck odometer: Past 600000 km, some 400000? miles
5. Road legal improvements: Unidentified large Garrett /w wastegate @0,5 bar, 33" tyres, some lift and PTO winch (gone). 3 seats and a fixed vise (local vehicle tax peculiarities). Rear with helper coil springs. 2H also has dump valve and custom exhaust, internals unknown. Pulls great, too much?
6. How you use the truck: For working and hunting, hauling tools and stuff. Some adventures will propably appear. I'll put in some new gauges, glow plugs, injectors and re-do some electrics. Is this a keeper I don't know, but its so much fun...
7. Why is the stock low gear always too fast........
