Thanks! No not an airflow. Just one I bought off flea bay from a 4 x 4 supplier here in OZ.

Thanks for the props everyone. I love this truck and we have a lot of fun getting out to some awesome spots here.

never seen one in black, but i have to say that's the way to go... with a white roof of couse. but seriously, a gorgeous cruiser.

 

[REDBACK62]

Hey mud bludger yes I am in the Isa hit me up with a pm mate.

Thanks everyone, when I rebuilt her I wanted a unique 60 series and I have also never seen a black 60. So I resprayed it black. I used black lacquer and no clear coat. I am now steering toward mat black or a mat black vinyl wrap. I will see if I can get a short video clip with sound and post up. These wagons are absolutely one of the toughest offload vehicles going. Spend some time and dollars and you WILL BE REWARDED with a go anywhere ride that continues to please.

Didnt the american FJ62 have fender flares?

 

[Texx]

Nope. But i want some!

 

[roscoFJ73]

Nope. But i want some!

Aussie dealer quoted an aquaintenance $2000 for a set last week

 

[REDBACK62]

A couple of years ago I was quoted AUD $1400.00 for a set from my local Mr. Yoda Dealer. I was shocked at the price. I do know a guy here in OZ that wrecks nothing but 60 series for parts. He might have some. Very reasonable prices and would probably ship anywhere. Just PM me for his details and I will give them to anyone interested.

 

[s5number2]

There is a manufacturer in Canada that makes them. If I remember there are cheaper then the Aussie option, unless you can get set from an Aussie wrecker. I will try and find the link.

 

[geofro84]
