Here are some pictures of our first camping trip in our SOA'd 84 FJ 60.
Loaded down with mud from the road to Colbran
New camera does cool stuff
Gravel pit camping. Also about the limit of my wife's wheeling threshold(so far), She says she's ready for Moab.
I will break down some of the details this weekend.
Over the winter, mostly this spring, I spent some time under the 60 get'n it done.

Pulled out, disassembled, and cleaned.
