BeBe the FJ6TY

So I have been registered and lurking here for a while as the eventual build of BeBe will be overland style.

1. Year, model, color, etc: 1985 (10/85 to be exact) FJ60, originally 8B4 Midnight Blue but one of the POs shot a couple of coats of silver over it.
2. Name of owner/screen name: gregnash (same on MUD forums)
3. How long have you owned your 60 series? Is this your first? Bought her on August 23rd 2012, picked her up in West Valley City, UT on Sept 28th 2012. And yes, she is my first after 2yrs of looking:wings:
4. Mileage at date of purchase and present mileage: 146,934 when I got her but that was with a broken speedo cable, have since fixed the speedo cable and now added about 600 miles (not counting the 500+ mile ride home)
5. Your favorite mods... If any: No mods yet, just ordered everything to desmog her and slowly bringing her back up to snuff mechanically, then the fun starts! :sombrero:
6. How your 60 is used... ie. DD, family adventure, overland travel, etc.: Right now she is my snow driver, dog hauler, camping, dirty mtb hauling, fun toy!! Basically, she is for those days that I can't ride my bike to work
7. Link to your build thread: No build on here, but here is the MUD thread.. http://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/611296-finally-got-my-own-meet-bebe.html
8. Your 3 favorite photos (keep them updated):

And here is one from today. Got around to replacing the DS window regulator and sanded and painted the front grill. Now I have to do the headlight doors and other accessories.

Looks great!
