Not new to Cruisers or the 60 series, we are however proud new owners of a 89 FJ62. For the last couple of years my wife has been looking for the perfect 62! 60 would not due, nope, had to be a 62.. We dont "need" another Cruiser as we have a 40,45,LX already... But this would be nice to have as she does not drive the 40 a great deal given it does not have heat and all the creature comforts.... And she has always loved the 62, even with its flaws...they are just cool trucks...
When on a golf trip in Vegas Jen sends me an add for what looked to be a very fair deal and a pretty nice truck. I asked her to contact the seller and get some additional pics. This truck was in the Denver area, i was in St George and Jen was in Austin....and to further complicate issues we live in Wisconsin... Just not in the winter... We went back and forth with the seller, great guy.. a close friend went and looked at the truck, we struck a deal. Happy days...
Now we have to go get the truck.... Given flights are cheap we booked a flight out for May 22nd. Figured we would take the week to drive back to Wisconsin while visiting friends and family on the way home... Paying close attention to social distancing of course..
When in Denver I would like to try and find a RTT for our trip home. If you live in the area, and have or know of one for sales please let us know. The seller has said he has a roof rack, so we are good there....Ideally we would find and pay for a RTT and pick it up on the 22nd for our adventure back home.
Couple pis of the "new" 62 for attention. Very excited to get out to Denver, meet some cool Cruiser folks and make the very slow trip back home.
