I’ve been looking across California for our first FJ60 for quite awhile now. Finally found the one for us. Tan 87, 233k miles. It was purchased and spent most of its life here in San Jose, only migrating less than 100 miles north before I brought her home.
Good visual bones/virtually no rust but needs some mechanical attention. As background, I’ve done pretty significant engine work on old Fords and rebuilt the top end of a Disco II. I hope to do most if not all of the restore work myself (along with my 17 yr old son) But, wrenching a Toyota is new to us, as is significant suspension and transmission work.
It’ll be used as our occasional driver at our new home in the Sierra mountains. I hope it will get us into many fish, birds and adventures.
Not sure how often I’ll be able to update, but, thought I should capture the trials and tribulations anyways. Thanks for the wonderful resource here!
