Adding another cruiser to the collection FJ62

[mmw68]

Well, after not having a FJ62 for the last two year, I've got one again!

215K miles and had the engine rebuilt around 24K ago, Clean Texas truck - with no rust. It needs a front bumper, tune up and a little TLC. It's going to be my wife's DD, the kids and I surprised her with it on Sunday.

That's a good one!!! But you still need a vortec cruiser! I know you don't have one of those.

 

[Gappy]

Nice, the wife was happy, right?

 

[mmw68]

She was speechless..and even gave me the green light to spend a little money on it, just as long as I left it the stock height. She has always been into the cruiser thing, but has never had her own truck. Next she'll want to learn stick, and start driving the FJ40.

 

[iaintscared1969]

Driveshafts or U joints? Did you get it by the shop?

 

[mmw68]

No - got the windows tinted instead, then went to drink beer

 

[iaintscared1969]

Hope you had 2!!

 

[mmw68]

Yes we have a local pub that all the land cruiser guys hang out at. Last week we had four red FJ40 in the parking lot. They have beer happiest hour from 4pm-5pm every day.

Yes I had two!

Sweet. Welcome back.

Don't go blinging this one up painting the valve cover.

Stock height? Does that mean replacement springs? Call me and I'll come down for the install.

I love to see the wife drive mine, it looks so cool to see her in that big old thing. She will be happy, nice truck.

 

[mmw68]

Greg,
Yep Stock springs, I might just replace them with OEM and OEM shocks. Damn...just sent the valve cover off to the powder coater! I went from no 3FE to two! Iam just trying to keep up with Lee, he now has a FZJ80, FJ62, and Fj40 also!

Nice tint Mark and a sweet looking truck. Your driveway looks like it wants to be like mine..covered in gear oil.

 

[meatloaf]

where did you get the windows tinted and how much $$. When my wagon gets back from Randy's, tint is on the list...

I need to deliver my FJ40 to Randy...maybe I could drive your FJ60 back for you?

I've used Suntint on Burnet, great folks, It cost me around $200.

That would be like going on the honeymoon with my new bride. Thanks for the info...
