Signed up for a membership back in DEC and just wanted to pop in a say 'hi' in the virtual world. Hopefully I'll be able to make a meeting/event in the near future.
I'm new(ish) to the TLC world, as I bought my first FJ60 last AUG. I knew it wasn't going to be as easy as just buying a new car and going, but WOW, it's been an interesting ride these past few months. Prior to this, I'd only knew enough about cars to be proficient in average owner-level maintenance (rotating tires, oil changes, etc). Since getting the LC I've.... learned to weld, learned how to do body work, rebuilt a carb, installed new suspension, and replaced an entire cooling system. Not what I originally envisioned, but I'm loving every moment of it! Here she is as she currently sits....1987 FJ60
About 6 weeks after getting this one, I bought my second FJ60. I picked up an out-of-state non-running late-85 model for parts. After looking over it in person, I think it's salvagable. I'm slowly working to restore it and thinking about doing a V8 swap.
I've learned a ton of stuff from the general MUD community, but am looking forward to getting more involved with and learning from local folks with similar interests. I haven't seen any other 60s around town, but have noticed a couple 80s. Anybody know if there are any members in the Fayetteville area?

, but you’ve got the silver 60 looking great!
Careful....I'm easily convinced.
