Tho at sumbitch in ayer!
Well I've done quite a bit to mine. Last spring I sand blasted, body work, re-built the motor (sbc), brand new wiring harness, new steering column and box, new Auto Meter gages, and then I ran out of money.....
. I'm planning this spring to be done and road worthy, my wife is pumped about driving it again.
These are before and after shots from last spring.

A couple of my truck.
So far I call it the Wobble Wagon.... a more (in)appropriate name will come once the worked head is dropped on.
89 FJ 62, ARB bullbar with an 8274 in it, upgraded headlights, extreme valve body in the tranny, OME springs, soon to be an Aussie Locker in the back, and I am working over a spare head/intake set-up to swap on once the weather warms up.
This summer up near Fort St. John.
Last year's River Shiver
I also have a rust-free 62 with my name on it vacationing in central California until I have a chance to drag it back up this way (no powertrain in it).

The first pic is my HJ61 at Pismo in 2004. It looks pretty much the same today except its sitting on 33s instead of 35s.
The second pic is from when I lived in Edmonton and owned a bunch of 40 series in addition to the 61. I still own the 78BJ40 on the left, the 77 FJ40 and 82 BJ42 are now living somewhere in Calgary.

Hey I am the owner of the Purple People Eater which is a 1972 FJ40.
I bought it with the present 33's, but I have done a conversion to a H42 transmission, OME suspension with grease-able shackles / pins, Downey header, rebuild carb, Kaymar rear bumper / tire carrier, Viar onboard air, & a ARB locker, roll bar with single jump seats.
Recently my dad purchased an 1986 HJ60 with 485,000+ KM. It is going to be a veggy oil guinea pig.

Here are mine. 06 Taco, the 79 BJ40 in its current state as well as the current state of my 78 FJ45. The 45 is now minus tires and engine haha maybe this weekend I will see how the 1HD-T fits in the frame.
This is a start......................By the way the pic is without shocks, front driveshaft, no bumper, busted turn signals, no alignment, loose driveshaft bolts, to say the least it was sketchy but couldnt help it. Getting it all squared away now

Your swampers ready to go, does he move into the drivers seat as soon as you get out?
we have an agreement so she stays out of the way then when i get out keeps the seat warm.

i guess you can see where the first picture is going.
the second is my pig , sleeping in the driveway.
pig is pretty much stock, so is the 42 for that matter. minus 2.5" ome and the 24v winch

Funny, my truck was known as an 86' through all its life, even on the original bill of sale from the dealership, but the vin runs as an 87' too.
