Well...after the third unintended introduction of my beloved 60's sheet metal to one of Anthracite's trees (Rausch was responsible for the other two). I decided that it's time to build a winter rig that I could use as a primary wheeling rig. Thus, reducing my anxiety of explaining new body work on the 60 to the wife every time I go wheeling .
After some nagging and negotiation, I got the owner of this nice 1991 FJ80 to part ways with her. She needs a few odds and ends including brakes, knuckle rebuild, and some attention to minor leaks, but for the price I couldn't resist. Brought her home on the rollback today for the paltry sum of $1,600. Figure I can build a pretty formidable trail rig for around $5-6K all in. Here are a few pics.
