I recently joined the forum and want to introduce myself. I live near Cape Town South Africa and have a passion for Land Cruisers. I currently own a 300GR, a 79 and a FJ62, which I plan to restore. The FJ is a 1988 model registered in Jan 1989 with 345,000kms and is probably one of the most original in South Africa, but does need some work. My aim is to keep it as original as possible. Im looking forward to engaging with everyone on the Forum.

Very nice. What engine and transmission? Either I haven’t been paying that close of attention or this is the first time I’ve seen one without the fender vents and the marker lights moved back.

3F and Manual. We never had Automatic transmission in South Africa for the FJ60 or 62
Beautiful garage and what in it!

Amazing.
I’ve not been to South Africa but hope to someday. I have been to the northern part of your continent but definitely not the same.
Looking forward to what you do with your FJ62 and learning more about the differences.
I spent a few hours today adjusting my valves, changing out my plugs and generally just maintaining the ol girl.
