I Finally Got One!

Well I finally bit the bullet and bought a 1990 FJ62. My buddy is going to ride to North Carolina with me to pick it up on Thursday. I've been drooling over these 60 series for awhile and had to do it. So I sold my trusty '91 4Runner and decided to put the harley up for sale too (less than 100 miles in 3 years!). So now against everyones "better" judgement, I'm diving in. Here's the specs:

4.0 inline w/ 190,000
SOA
High Steer (Iron Pig?)
35x12.50x15
5.29's
greaseable shackles

I know there's a lot more I'm forgetting but its late and I'm still really excited. The interior is clean, no cracks in the dash or anything. Windows, locks, and A/C all work great. There are a couple small rust spots that are #1 on the to-do list. PA is not the most Iron Pig friendly state. After the cancer is removed I plan to start slowly building this as time/money permit. With a 4yr and 2yr old it makes mod' money scarce. The build should include in no particular order:

Rear bumper w/ tire and gerry can carrier
Armor/sliders
Extended range/second fuel tank
Roof rack
winch
shelf system- I want to be able to haul 2 kids in car seats, gear, dog, wife and myself to wherever we feel like going. Thanks for any comments/suggestions. Pics to come......
