Introducing myself and my fj60

[photo]

Hello there! i just registered on this great forum, I could see amazing rigs and just starting popping amazing ideas for my own truck.

I'm From Venezuela (excuss my bad english, I´m better talking it that writting it) I could say I'm pretty young (22 years), but always loved the off-road adventure.. My dad used to have a FJ 60 stock, it was beautiful.. so, as soon as i could drive I started looking for one, and found it 3 years ago, it was really cheap (around 2000$) but had to do a lot of work

But, as young and dumb, i dind't put any money into her (sammy, that's her name) until about a year ago that I made her rear bumper and the inside upholstery, this year I got her SOA and it looks amazing, I'm working my ass off to do the next things, and change all of the suspension system, new shocks, and many other things.. Is a long way and expensive too, but it's what I love!

Here are come pics of my car

Welcome to the madness!!!!

 

[Spike Strip]

So that's a FJ62, or ?

 

[bombproof]

Welcome! Landcruisers are greedy, selfish machines. Mine hasn't let me drive her since november, but she doesn't mind taking my cash every week... But I wouldn't have it any other way.

Nice rig, man!

Think maybe you ought to re-route the brake hard line from the bottom of the axle housing?

Nice rig, you don't see many black wagons.

FJ60, but I put the front grill of a FJ62, and it have a 3F motor with 5 gears, all I'm Missing to completely turnig her into a FJ62 is the softride dash.. looking for one, but way to expensive (and hard to fin one in good shape) over here in Venezuela

Hola, amigo! Nice truck! Did you do the SOA yourself? This rig looks really good for just $2000,-
Hey, don't bother about your English. I'm not an English native speaker either. But as long as these guys understand you, it's okay
Last year I've been to the south of Venezuela with my Cruiser, together con mi familia, to the Canaima region. We loved it over there! We've been in Santa Elena, at the border. Hombre, there were more Land Cruisers (45, 60, 70, 80) than I've ever seen together!
By the way, welcome on MUD. Hope you'll enjoy the madness

Those 4Runner wheels don't look half-bad on the 60.

Do you have any other side shots?

no, I paid for it, with some friends, not too expensive!

Those rims are from an old 4runner, the first models to come to Venezuela, and the tires, well, I have 3 different tyres, 2 Pro comps Mud terrain 285/75/16 One Mud Country Pro Comp and 1 Dick Cepek, all of them 285/75/16, but I'm looking to change the rims for the Originals, or maybe for the ones of the FJ 80 (we call it here in Venezuela Autana)
