Did the Middle East have Federal spec 60 series? Too many things on the FJ60 for it to be US market. Vent windows in front doors, B pillar grab bars, split rims, FF rear axle and cargo area sliding windows.

I wasn't sure what you mean about "federal spec" and I might still not sure lolol but in December I brought two FJ45 ..one for me and one for my father in law from the middle east (which they usually copy U.S. regulations), I got them titled and licensed just fine ..here is a picture of mine before I sold it
I didnt want to sell it but I had no choice..plus it didnt have a heater.

That 60 has a lot of cool options that you couldn't get here. They are way more practical and usable then a 40 series

Indeed but the look of the 43 with the top off....
I buy vehicles to use and drive them, not to stare at them in the garage or look cool in them. 40's are fun but they are much more of a toy then a useful vehicle when compared to a 60
I had an HJ60 and did wheel it quite a bit. Lots of fun. I also used it to visit my parents 5 hrs away in upstate NY.
I could not imagine doing that trip in my 40.
The 60 will be more civilized and a better daily driver than the 43.
However, like many of us, you may eventually end up with more than 1 LC.
If you want something to drive every day, to work and go on vacation and wheel or visit family and friends, I vote for the 60.
Just to wheel and drive around town or not too long road trips, the 43.
Although, I have a friend with a 46 that drove from NY to CA (and back) twice, once pulling a military trailer. So, maybe it depends on your constitution to each vehicles short comings.
Either way, good luck with your purchase.
