Following the fine examples set by the 80 and 100 series registry threads, let's do the same for the 60 series.

Same rules apply.

1. Year, model, color, etc: 1985, FJ60, White
2. Name of owner/screen name: Anthony Werre/Werrea
3. How long have you owned your 60 series? Is this your first? 1 year. It's my first 60.
4. Mileage at date of purchase and present mileage: 133,000
5. Your favorite mods... If any: [B There are so many favorite mods to list. But my absolute favorite is the 5.3l Vortec mated to the 5 speed.[/B]
6. How your 60 is used... ie. DD, family adventure, overland travel, etc.: My 60 affectionately called 'Yeti" This is my DD and the family adventure rig. I used to have a very well built 4Runner but was slow and too small with our new son and a Great Dane. I love the 60 series, and my major requirement was to build one with some power. It's a work in progress.

Nice rig. Don't recall seeing a 60 with a hood decal. It's sort of tempting. Was it custom made?

Yes. I was looking for a solution for hood reflection and was directed to Crawlorado. They don't have it on their website but have the template now.

Man, I tell you, surfing the Land Cruiser section on ExPo is going to be hard on my wallet. Damn I miss my 60! Carry on:victory:

Here are some pics from my first trip and shake down run in this 60. I added the fridge, dual bats, Ham and tent just prior departing:

EDIT: Just an update, since my original post, I have added an ARB bullbar, warn winch, 16" 70 Series wheels and 255-85r16 Toyo MT's.

And one pic of my old FJ60. It was totally stock except for the tent. I owned it for 7 years 2005-2011:

Nice looking truck MDH... what tires/wheel combo is that in the pictures?

 

[MDH33]

Nice looking truck MDH... what tires/wheel combo is that in the pictures?

Thanks! They are 285/75R16 Nitto Terra Grapplers on 16x8 Aluminum wheels, not sure of manufacturer. I would prefer stock wheels and narrower tires with a little more bite to the tread, but these Nitto's sure do go down the road nicely.

 

[gregnash]

They look like Eagle Alloy 100 Series rims. Man all these rims/times I like and all are in 16". Getting hard to find decent 15" tires for my FJ60 stockers.

 

[1911]

Getting hard to find decent 15" tires for my FJ60 stockers.

Both BFG and Toyo make nice 33x10.5x15 MT tires (if you have enough lift to run 33's).
