Charlie - Our 1989 FJ62 Adventure rig (1 Viewer)

[Octave Zangs]

Hey guys,

I figured out this would be a good time to start a thread about the 1989 FJ62 I've been working on the past few months. We have a film production team here in Portland, Oregon and this will be serving as our intrepid chauffeur from here on out; carrying us to all sorts of wild and beautiful places, both for life and for work.

- 1988 FJ62 ~170,000 miles with its original 3FE
- OME heavy suspension
- Eagle Alloy Series 187 - 17 rims
- 33 BFGoodrich KO2
- ARB Front Bullbar bumper
- Warn Zeon 10-s Platinum winch
- Factor 55 Prolink
- 4+ rear bumper + 2 jerry can + 2" receiver on tire arm
- Dual batteries setup with National Luna
- Hella H1/H4 + wiring upgrade
- Aux harness
- Smittybilt center console
- BMW Seats w/ Torfab seat brackets

We shot this video as an introduction and I will be posting pictures/videos on a regular basis in this thread:

Went adventuring in our mountains!

Added a James Baroud Horizon Tent to the mix too! Thanks to Adventure Ready!

Upgraded the ARB front bullbar to the newer model to be able to fit the Warn Zeon 10-s Platinum winch. I made two steel brackets to remount the location pack above the winch. Had to use an offset fairlead too. And swapped the hook with the Factor 55 Prolink!

Beautiful pics and the video is amazing. Great work. Just saw "Our Land" and that is even more amazing. Quick question about the rig and how you carry your bikes. What rear bumper do you have installed on Charlie and which rack are you using for bikes? I love how it keeps the bikes high and away from the ground so not to impair the 62's departure angle. Cheers!

I would add some anti-theft goodies to that truck, so that someone else doesn't run off with it. Very sharp looking!

Wow, very impressed. Love your truck.

Nice bike rack set up....

One killer 60! Love it.

Curious how you managed to mount the OneUp rack to the swingout, have any pictures of that setup?

 

[gilamonster]

I'm sure they just welded a 2" hitch tube to the swing-out. That's what I did, it's so nice having the bikes move out of the way with everything else.

Love the truck and the video! I was waiting for Matthew McConaughey to start talking...

 

[drillduty]

Keep up the fire guys! Great cinematography!

 

[TwinPine]

Love the cruiser and the video! The full movie was fantastic as well, I'd love to see more detailed photos of the cruiser showing off what you've done inside and out.

Didnt know you were on Mud! Commented on your "Our Land" Post in Duthie Hill FB page. 4plus and 1up rack is solid! Looking to do something similar when i get a cruiser again (Hopefully soon)

 

[Hokierig]

I know I wasn't the only one jealous of all the toys and your beautifully outfitted rig. I'm hoping to have mine in a similar setup in the next few years. Fantastic content!
