Tolis4x4 new here old 4-wheeler

[Tolis4x4]

Hi all,
first sorry for my English,its not allways 100%, :whoops:
I am from Greece (4x4 paradice) and i do live in Holland and i am also the owner
of a HJ60 from 1985, i have one foto at the register.
I do follow the site a long time and i got a lot of usefull tips from
Please some help here...
I do like the looks and the dash of the 60 and i dont like the front and the dash from the 62....(sorry for the gays who think different)
i just found one HJ62, turbo, and i want to swap the front and the dash......
I want the comfort of the 62 but the look of the 60.
The 1988 62 i found has power windows, airco, lether, power locks, less kms, TURBO and all the rest........

I am not very good in technical issues, i pay or i have good mates

For the front swap do i have to change the front fenders????
and for the dash? It fits? the gouges?? airco?

Thanks a lot,
Tolis

To swap from square headlights to round ones, you're going to have to swap the core support and lower valance, along with headlights, grill, headlight doors.

I believe the dash boards are a direct swap between the two trucks, but I am not 100% on that.

Pictures always help

Never thought of Greece as 4x4 land but it makes sense! Better than windmills I guess.

Welcome aboard! 60s are way better looking than 62s.

Not like hobby but when you are a farmer( like my father) and you live
somewhere with mountains, rivers and a lot of space. and you have tractors
and a Mitsubishi Pajero (montero i think in de States) .....

then you are in 4x4 paradice.

Valance??? you mean the matal under the grill?
The front fenders are the same?

Thanks mate.

Exactly. As far as I know, the fenders are exactly same.

this week is coming the new HJ61( pictures next week)
I do still want to change the front look from the Hj61 (62 for the states) to the old
school look from the hj60( the one i still have).
Both the car's are 24v, do i have issues with the headlights?
I wil keep the dashboard of the 61/62( i can live with it)
Anybody did it before?
maybe some pictures?

thanks in advance.

And fenders for [ ][ ] to ( ). At least i believe they are different from 60-62's for the swap.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure the headlight doors are different - which ties into the front corner of the fender.

Trying to double check - looking at $OR's re-pop us and non-us fenders they are 80-87 for 60's only. I'm 99% positive that they don't match up due to headlight doors/corner markers... I'll see if i can find pics.

Crap - missed one little line on SOR's site:

Also fits 8/87-1/90 FJ62 by drilling an extra hole in the fender using one generic sheet metal screw.

so i'm wrong and it should fit fender wise.

that's what i get for being "99%" positive...lol

You had me second-guessing myself so I looked up the part numbers, which revealed differing numbers, yet the diagrams looked identical. I know I've seen swaps here where guys used the same fenders, so I assumed they were identical so never looked it up.

Either way, it's good to be 100% percent positive.
