I was wheeling my 60 this weekend, and it got me thinking about the history of my cruiser prior to my ownership and where it has been before. If anyone has any information or knows anything about it please let me know! If someone has photos of it that would be even better.
What History I do know;
I got my 1985 FJ60 from Aubrey Alexander Toyota in Selinsgrove in February 2017. When I bought it I was told that a gentleman had come in and traded a dozen or so various older Landcruisers for one brand new 200 series, my 60 being one of them. The only other cruiser I saw at the dealership from his collection was a fully restored Blue FJ40. My 60 has definitely been repainted at some point, but it was always Freeborn Red. It had a stock front bumper that was chopped to fit a winch and a very old Rough Country lift (Still has the RC warning sticker on the glovebox). There is also an older "Classic Cruisers" sticker on the glovebox. I have pretty strong evidence that this Cruiser was the wheeling rig from the guy's collection, so I have to imagine its been around the PA Landcruiser circle before.
The photos below are what it looked like when I purchased it( it was on boggers when the dealership got it), the snorkel was very distinct as it was ABS pipe with an aluminum plumbing vent cap on top.
