Hi my name is Josh, I own a 1988 FJ62 named Lola. (Yes like the song from the Kinks) She was my first car. I bought it from my parents and we have all the maintinence records! At 233k miles shes showing her age. Im in the process of restoring our treasured family member. Us kids literally grew up going on adventures in her. She has quite the personality, like The infamous Christene, Lola's radio turns itself on and off and changes stations to suit her tastes. But Lola has a better disposition and hasnt killed quite as many people. I Have seen and read the forum for a while doing small repairs and felt I was overdue for joining. Currently Im assembling the parts necessary to really make her shine. Im starting with a Rig that has good bones and would like to see her repainted and reupholstered. Still deciding if I want to add all the fun ARB accessories. The end goal is to have Lola be a weekend cruiser for around town and adventure vehicle. When shes finished I want to take her to a significant car show, she may not win any ribbons but shes done alot for me and deserves every ounce of attention she gets. Thank you guys for all the support for these old rigs. Its going to make maintaining Lola fun and easy! If theres a cruiser get together in Boise Idaho please let me know!! Happy trails everyone!
...do the maintenance, r&r bearings, put on a MILD set of springs, and make it nice inside. Our 62 will be with us for the foreseeable future...
