Alrighty guys I figure instead of just lurking around I could actually sign up and actually contribute something. I am the proud owner of a 10/84 Fj60 Toyota Landcruiser that has been in my family for the past eight years. My main use for the Cruiser is to take the road less traveled to the most beautiful spots that California and the West has to offer. I do enjoy the rocks and the hard line sometimes, but most of the time I like remote forests and natural spring lakes.

Heres a rundown of what I have done
-SOA on stock springs with short add a leafs in the rear and shackle reversal in the front and custom shackles in the rear.
- 35x12.50 pro comp muds terrains on 15x10's with 3.5 backspace.
-Marlin Crawler Hysteer
-4.88 gears
-Window tint at max legal limit (plus a few % don't tell).
-Cut and turned front axle to relieve pinion angle and adjust caster.
-Extended SS brakelines
-Marlin Crawler shock hoops for max shock length
-Con-ferr roof rack with some tractor lights
-IPF h4 conversion headlights and HD wiring harness, (very nice)

Soon to come
-Toyota H55F 5 speed
-Damplifier sound deadener on the floor and in the doors
-Sliders
-Durabak/Herculiner
-ARB lockers if $ permits, more likely aussie lockers
-Front bumper
-Rear Bumper
-never ending

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, this is a great site. Your not kidding about the H55F, everyone agrees that is the best mods they have ever done, prolly won't happen for awile though.

Every time I see a new 60 I can't help but miss the old wagon. Looking forward to your continuing build...
