Would this have anything to do with how tall it was after the SOA with lift springs and a shackle reversal?
I am the living (pun intended) proof that a 60 series can save your life. I wear a Cruiser key around my neck, have since 1990 when I endoed my first FJ60. Had to crawl through the back cargo window, which was the only one left I could squeeze through. Truck was obliterated but I walked out with minor bumps, bruises and cuts. Tough old truck.
If the BTJ62 is still solid when it's my son's time to drive, guess what he's getting? No, not her, but another old Cruiser wagon!

thats NOT mine grady, that is my sisters!!!!!!!
sounds like you made out okay to me. If they won't let you have another 60 it seems to make good sense to get a P/T job and buy one from the guys on here. Wouldn't take too long to work up that kind of money. And I don't want to read that you don't have time for a job with school or anything like that...
good luck, sounds like you already have it. Parents that want to take care of you and make sure you have something to drive. I would stop arguing now, before you are taking care of yourself.
Good luck though. I don't want to hammer you.

She sez: "Money-pit."
You say: "Only if I have to start with a truck that doesn't run, like you forced me to do last time. I'll buy one that runs well."
She says: "Unreliable."
You say: "The Landcrusier FJ 60 is world renown for solid reliability. Many of these vehicles have gone over half a million miles with just minimal maintenance."
She says: "cant get full insurance coverage on it."
You say: "These things can be had so cheap that I won't need it. Besides they are nearly indestructable. I walked away from what could have been a fatal accident."
She says: "Ugly."
You say: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This truck is a sought after classic."
She says: "NO!"
You say: "Mom, you are right. An ugly old truck is not going to get me anywhere with the girls. I've changed my mind and decided I WANT A PORSCHE!."
The key to arguing with women is to be equally irrational. Drives 'em crazy.
