@lechnito when they got it up on the lift they found a lot of frame damage that I hadn't seen the many times if been crawling on the ground underneath the cruiser. Additionally in at least one area where the body mounts to the frame, the body is disintegrating. I knew there were some rusty spots on the frame and body, but didn't realize the extent of the damage. At this point I'm looking for a truck with a shot engine to become the new host of my drivetrain. Or, depending on what the wife has to say, I may have a turbo 3b/h55 combo for sale, along with a bj60 body to part out, and just put my cruiser dreams on hold for some day in the future.

@bigdaddychud totally understood and not really a buzzkill. I kinda like the coffee and cars idea, but maybe we could aim to do that during their expedition theme meet in the fall? I had never heard of that before though. I know we won't be able to do something that will fit everyone's wants/needs, but hopefully we can do something that works for most! Also, would be great to do this more than once.
 
I kind of like the idea of Willamette Blvd Auto or Sellwood Waterfront Park for starters. We could sort of focus on our "own group " so to speak. Ive never been to a Cars and Coffee event before and that would be cool to. For some reason the idea of just hanging with LC guys and getting to know each others' rigs sounds cool. But I'm flexible.
 
Does anyone think a gathering on June 4th might work? Purely selfish on my part, I plan on dong an OME install the following week. Thought I might be able to "pick some brains" if anyone has already done one.
 
I just purchased an 88FJ 62. 125,000 original miles and have been putting a lot more money into it this last month.. I'm so excited but having a hard time trying to find your blue non-power panels in decent shape and a few others parts .. Does anybody have a good website to go to for used parts like that ? I would love to meet up and chat with fellow local cruisers in the area soon and drink beer ...I live in off Fremont in northeast .

I'll be out of town, but please don't let that stop anyone! I should have something up and running soon

Hopefully if this happens once, there'll be a follow up shortly thereafter.
 
Hey everyone, just picked up a 1988 FJ62 last week from a family friend. Would love to meet up with like minded individuals. The Sellwood Waterfront Park sounds more accessible.
 
Man, I was thinking this wasn't going to happen but it looks like we might pull this together. Sellwood waterfront sounds cool though I must admit I'm not exactly sure what's there. I live in Camas, WA. Does 1:00pm work for everyone?
 
Can we get an "official" roll call of who plans on showing up on Saturday 1:00pm at Sellwood Water Front Park? Yes, I know I can see who's responded already but I'm hoping to flush out some others too.
