X2 on those pics....especially the bumpers. Time for more poser shots of my old truck.
Here's a pic that includes several of my cheapo mods: First you can see my gas pedal is a foot (free! birthday preasent) Second, my keys have a mini crescent wrench on them and I use it ALL the time (free! came with a bunch of old tools my Dad gave me) and the Third one I know has been posted before, but a mounted maglight! (Maglight 20 bucks, batteries 4 bucks, and mounting brackets 3 and a half bucks). Everytime my Brother-in-law and I get together and work on our trucks we run out of daylight and we end up using his cell phone light... and that doesn't work too well.
You might have seen my post already but I think it needs to be in this thread. The mod is for the 62 only. I shortened the ugly auto shifter handle and now it looks the way it should have from the factory.I did a write up with pics if any are interested.https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/270697-$0-00-mod-your-62-bigger-better.html COST $FREE $0.00

Better off buying a big roll of shop rags. Or one of those big boxes full of rags. Equally useful around the truck, much cheaper.
Search for "online manuals" here on Mud, you can download pdf files of the factory manuals. Print out the pages you need, when you need 'em.
the Haynes is not a very good resource. Your 20 would be better spent on other stuff.

Best under $50.00 console
Thread in the FJ60 forum, but was suggested to x-post to the $50.00 mods thread. https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/276342-el-cheapo-center-console.html

New radiator cap. Ask me how I know... Nevermind, don't.
Just threw a set of new lug nuts at the rig. I guess these days they use a full set of keyed lugs so I have a 'special' key for them. Little extra security and chrome to match the stock rims. Me likey! Only cost 40 bones.
How do you know? I mean, nevermind... I didn't say anything.
A $500 repair bill says you best not. But $500 was lucky. Could have been a HG or worse.

Just before "El Tractor" died, sway bar poly bushings; $10.00
How would you even notice a difference with that? Do you drive naked or something?
This would be great if those mitsubas were readily available. I can't find them up here. Autobach special order I guess.
ever drive the roads in Puerto Rico? rattle rattle rattle deffinitly worth ten bucks I think they want $20 for those bushings here.

! Before el "Tractor" died, I had to replace all the springs, shocks and sway bar bushings, due to the road conditions, still les than $50.00

Been there too, they are as bad. But here I think the local government have a contract with Rancho, OME, Bilstein, etc.
One Free Mod I did was drill a hole in the tap of the gas tank lid and connected a cable from it to the car so i don't have to keep track of it at the pump FREE
