Wanted FJ60/2 Restored, restomod or built - I want the best one I can find...

[brammo]

My chocolate 86 has about 4K miles on the v-8 conversion and about 8K on my original FJ that I bought for $8K 2 1/2
Years ago. So these conversions do take time. The seat issue is a puzzle to me and I did measure for Craig as I put the series 3 BMW seats in when at Tor's for the motor swap. I am 6'2" and not even close to the top. I think it was 40" from seat to liner...will be getting mine on the market and have some interest now but will be in Alaska for 2 weeks. Will follow up when I get back

Look forward to seeing it! I did a measure of seat to top of my head in three different seats and got a 40.5" measurement. I might have to go Land Rover. Damn.

Cut the top of your head off or your feet, it's your call.

Hmm, i was thinking of inventing a safari roof replacmeent for an FJ60 instead, might be less impactful.

For the record, I am 6'4", 200 lbs, and no issue fitting in my stock 60...

Trade - MY FJ60 for YOUR FJ40

I know this one is bone-stock (except for the lift) and beautiful. Came from Tacoma last October.

That is a real pretty 60. Great starting point for the OP

Never mind, he wants a Rover

If I am jacking up seats to see better over the hood and still have room at 6'3.75" before hitting the head liner I can't see you having that much an issue. Hell for that matter you can also have a tighter fitting head liner installed.

Well, I am not yet going Rover. I have been talking to Dustin Weaver, I love that truck, he is holding out for a 40 in trade. As for the head room issue, I think it is probably a few things. I have a 32" inseam (short legs) and very long torso, and add the circumference at the navel and it probably does not help as it moves you up in the seat. As for the headliner, where can I find info on that? Also, has anyone seen a taller roof cut in, like a discovery or other FJ safari rig? Might be cool and a solution.

Thanks
