Hey everybody! New to the site, currently own a 73 International Scout II but am in the market for a LC. I've always loved them and looking forward to finding a FJ60/62 or FJ80 to add to the stable. Here's my current ride!
Howdy!

You will probably like owning one. Find a diesel one if you can.
Welcome. Great looking Scout!

Love the Scout, and good luck on your search. In the 60 Series forum, most (including me) will say "get a 60!"
80s are cool in their own way, but if you want to enjoy an old-school 4wd leaf-sprung ride similar to your Scout, stick with a 60 or 62. If you decide to go 80, maybe look for a FZJ80 instead of the FJ. The 3FE engine is enough of a dog in the 62, and the FJ80 is 700 lbs heavier, but with the same power plant.

+ awd….. it’s a slug.
Maybe a FZJ 80 is better because you can get diff locks.
The scout will probably feel similar to the 60.
hey! nice bronco!!
welcome to this den of reprobates. seeing as you posted up in the section, you've gotta get a 60
