I use Photobucket and I upload directly from my phone using the app. Its pretty user friendly and using the IMG tags is how I get the size you see. Hope that helps.

Thanks Luis! You guys have been giving me plenty of inspiration as of late. Either the 80 or the 60 is going to become our travelling rig. This summer is a bit hectic with the move and the baby coming up, hoping to have some time in August to really start setting up the 60. Our long term plan is to use one of the trucks to drive the length of the Americas, in segments when we have chunks of time, then putting into storage till we return. Not sure the feasibility of doing it that way yet but working on it. ;-) In the meantime I see a trip into Baja next spring in this 60's future as well as some western US adventures.

Funny, there is a new tan Cruiser in town this summer. I thought it may be yours but now I am sure it is not. On about 35's and looks to be SOA, real nice looking FJ60!
Ya', just tape measure in the driveway. I have always had good results, I got's a manual and a tape measure. Anytime you want to give it a go drop me a line.

Thanks Kristian,
I do the same thing but upon looking closer I had my upload preferences set to 640. I bumped that up and they look better now.

Yeah, I have seen that one around quite a bit as well. That one looks alot nicer than mine. I am down to do the driveway alignment, would love to have an expert set of eyes to get it right. Looks like I will be back to Jackson the 24th or 25th for a few days. Want to dial the alignment before I order any new rubber.

Sorry if I missed it in the thread, but what engine is in your 60? Sounds like you are very happy with it.

It is a stock 2F. This isn't a daily driver for me, though it kind has been serving me in that purpose since I have been travelling a total of about 4 weeks with it so far, will be 5 by the time I get back to Jackson. I am hoping to keep the truck simple and light so I don't sacrifice too much in the way of drivability and economy. Obviously it will come with some compromises but I do enjoy driving it the way it is right now. I have yet to do anything technical with it, so I am curious to see how it goes the first time it does any serious off road duty.

Well, I am due for an update on this thread. It is now August and we no longer have the 60. The vehicle served me well and we used it for a bunch of outings prior to our baby arriving as well as a trip to Colorado, a trip to Oregon and serving as a moving vehicle.
The fact of the matter was it was going to need a bunch of attention soon, having 240,000 miles on it. With our new little fella Kruz born on July 19th I decided we needed a fuss free, reliable, modern, safe, comfortable, and capable replacement vehicle to use as a daily driver for me and for our upcoming planned trips to Alaska, Mexico, as well as our southwestern adventures. The 60 exceeded my expectations in comfort and ride. It was plenty capable as well, but even though built like a tank, the fact is, it is an older truck. Though mechanically simple, it would need work from time to time, and some big stuff right off the bat. I love traveling and exploring. For me the vehicle is the means to do the stuff I love. I do enjoy working on my stuff from time to time but I would rather be spending my time out doing stuff than fussing around with a truck. So, the 60 is gone.... and who knows, when we have more means maybe we will have another but for now, we went with the FJ60's antithesis..... a vehicle I never really cared for, but after much consideration, than a test drive, began to respect immensely. That will be for another thread though.
In the meantime, here is a collection of photos taken since my last update in June with the 60.

You might recognize some of these shots from the Pangaea Expeditions Facebook page. I have been contributing there since June and the 60 was the primary subject to alot of photos.
