Builds The great Stoffel (HJ61 build)

[Crick60]

I haven't come across a 60 without that scenario behind the stereo after owning five 60 series.

I always feel jealous of the next owner knowing how well I've treated my landcruisers and the work I've done to get all the wiring in almost factory order.

Congrats!
Regarding wheels, if it's a manual 35" fits the gearing perfectly IMOP.. I run 35/12.5R15 on mine...

Cool rigs you have man.
Congrats..

So, after days of wiring I think I have finally got things the way I want. Out with the old Japanese speaking nav system and in with the new!! I also replaced the HUGE converter with a much smaller and powerful one (yay technology!).

The converter tucked away next to the passenger seat (bolted to the frame of the seat, but will not rub!)

New 12 volt fuse block installed in the passenger foot well. I would have liked to put it elsewhere, but this is what worked. I wired the fuse block so it would turn on with the accessory on the ignition.

The new headunit!! I went with a Pioneer AVH-X3700BHS. The wife has the older unit (3500) and we really like it. The BT is nice, and the satellite radio is great!

Cool, what converter is that?

I'm also looking into doing a 2 din stereo, was your previous a 1 or 2 din?
It's probably a slight difference in the dash , or did you just trim it in there?

Congrats on a cool rig, welcome to the HJ61 club of awsomeness! :-D

The converter is a Pyle 30 amp. The previous stereo was also a double din and the new one bolted in with no trim needed.

What would you like to see kind sir?? Lol

The levers! The levers are where its at! We don't need no stinking switches!

. I figure the narrower tire will help with the mileage and maybe a little with the power.

I may be wrong, (according to my wife I often am) but I was under the impression that tire width played little to no role in fuel economy. Tire "height" however plays a large role.

I finally added a splash of color to the front end of Stoffel today. I have had these badges for a while, but only got around to installing them tonight.

And as long as I was at if I threw one on the wife's BJ71!

 

[Ctenosaurian]

Nice HJ61!, I love the high roof. I can't wait to see it after the mods get added!

 

[SteveH]

I wish FJ62s in the US got that nifty wraparound one-piece front bumper (no rubber end caps) - it looks right, on that rig. Drool. Nice truck!

Until you see Mr.Tibbs locker levers, here is mine just got this morning from Japan. Will be installed this spring.

[Mr Tibbs]

Yep, that is them! Is that a new cover I see in the background??!! I need one of them!! Are they really still available? I thought they would have been long gone by now!

 

[Davaa]

Not new cover, came with the levers. My main reason for buying this was the cover.
