Finally signed up with Ih8mud. This is our 1984 FJ6O. It's been in my wife's family since 1987. Recently installed new OME suspension. Currently working on installing Retro Manufacturing stereo.
Thanks for all the help!

Damn that thing is looking good . I really like the look of the 60 series, almost more than the 70 series.....Is that factory paint?

Curious how you'd compare something like a 60 to the 100 series you just purchased.

The 100 series seems to just be that solid all around rig that can drive you many hours on the highway and then 4 low it's way right up a mountain...The older series cruisers seem like they would be a bit rough to take on extended multi day highway trips but IDK

I've been blessed with the opportunity to have owned a 200 series, 100, 80 and 60.
I love and miss our 2009 cruiser. The 100 is my wife's daily. I enjoy driving it but not as much as the 2009. I really love the 2uz engine in the 100. Fuel mileage and reliability are awesome. Nothing better than an 80 series cruiser off road. Wish it it had the 2uzfe engine. The 60 by far my favorite in the looks category. I enjoy driving it but wish it had more power.

Factory paint. All original 91k miles.

91K. LOL ... it's still in 'break in' mileage. Looks clean as a whistle.

 

[CruiserTrash]

Good lord, that thing is clean! Keep taking care of her.

 

[Amos555]

I hope you smoke, those ashtrays are awesome!

 

[Beams37]

Awesome truck! Looking forward to seeing what you do to keep it alive for anoth 30 years!

 

[franklin40]

[Rodger1957]

Nice….thats a really nice truck. Wow…

My first exposure to Cruisers was a new one identical to yours minus the stripes.

So, does that subwoofer prevent the rear seat from folding down completely?

[Amos555]

The rear seat is able to latch in the down position.

What about the back? Can it fold flat?

Yep

 

[RevISK]

Yep

Cool

 

[zeeklafreek]

Yep

Wow, thanks for confirming. From that photo, I wouldn't think it would lay flat without smashing down on the sub. Now I might have to order one of those bad boys.

I think if you really needed to get a little room. You could use some washers to extend the stoppers and the latch.
