    Default Sweet FJ60

    While looking for FZJ80, I was seriously tempted by this 62. . .

    What a nice truck

    Nice clean truck. Unless it was for a garage princess it wouldn't be my pick. 62s are hard to modify.. 60s much easier.

    Not really.

    The 80 is going to be a fun project.

    Perhaps a future feature??

    Can you post more interior pics of your DI-I need to steal some ideas for a potential DI project I'm looking into.

    Nice in the photos but that's alot of miles for what he is likely setting as a reserve. I would want to know what kind of shape the drive train is in before even making a bid, given his opening amount.

    I love the 62's and would leave this one as-is. However, with mileage and age related dings and scrapes I would think this is a $8-9k truck. And that is for someone that HAS to have one. That being said it will probably be bid north of $10k. Beautiful though.

    Wander - I have seen the inside of the D1 - at the LRNR. This is a very tastefully done truck with just enough done. Perfect.

    Scott - you looking for the normal accoutrements on an 80? Lockers? 40th? Is a Lexus the same in your mind?
