Hi all -
I should start by saying, I know very little about cruisers.
I've made the decision to sell my 08 tacoma and get into a fj62 because of my enjoyment of everything old.
I've been starting to browse, but am unsure of major red flags to keep an eye out for.
I'm looking for a fj62 (1988-1990) year and color arent huge. I have a buddy who agreed to help with an engine swap, and I'd like to do some of the easier stuff on my own. (Lift, interior work, etc)
I drive about 5-10 miles a day, so fuel efficiency isn't huge, but this will be my daily driver once projects are complete.
Any tips on what to look out for are greatly appreciated.
Thank you all.
PS - any thoughts on diesel vs vortec engine swap? Better mpg?
